Merry Christmas fellow Metal Heads!
I hope everyone had or is having an amazing Christmas day and enjoying the time off work to spend with loved ones.
There have been a bunch of Steam sales as usual, and your wallets must be either disintegrated or crying profusely but at least it won't be in vain, you will get some fun out of it :)
I personally have been resisting the temptation to spend, because I know I won't have any time to play anything until maybe a few months after the launch of Metal Heads. There are so many great games out there to play!
If you want to play some fun little party games, I'd recommend Party Panic, Pummel Party, Gang Beasts, Ultimate Chicken Horse to name just a few.
Also check out the demo version of Robot Champions, it's great fun, and everyone who comes over for party nights has a great time playing it!
I personally woke up at 5:20am as usual, worked on Metal Heads for a few hours, then spend a few hours with my family, unwrapping gifts and eating lots of food (Mmmm, meat platter), which was good, just sitting down and relaxing, then helped other family members move house in the pouring rain, which was tough, but I enjoy that kind of stuff, and it was nice just letting myself get completely soaked without a care in the world :)
Now today, woke up at 5:30am, and back to a 10.15 hour shift in my day job before the fun/cool stuff happens!
What is that fun/cool stuff you may ask?
Finalizing the playable demo of Metal Heads for you all to play! :D
The playable demo is so close to being ready
I now have Steam integration working, but there are still some nasty bugs that I really don't want you guys seeing or having to deal with, but they should be relatively easy to fix up.
I expect I will have the demo uploaded either tonight after work, or tomorrow, then it's just a matter of waiting for the demo to be verified on Steam before you guys can actually play it! :)
I am SUPER excited, but also super nervous at the same time.
I plan to update the demo over the coming weeks with new mini-games, but also any new gameplay changes, so while there may be only 5 mini-games to begin with, I intend to have a few more in the lead up to the games release, I also intend to get the board game mode working and integrated into the demo too.
It is a learning process for me, so at this stage, I am still trying to figure out how to upload the demo version, then I will need to work out how to update the demo as well, so please bear with me while I figure all of this stuff out in the coming days/weeks.
Thanks for the support once again guys, you are freakin' awesome and yet again, have a Merry Christmas/Happy Holiday!
