Hi, folks! This is my seventeenth devlog. We released the demo at the beginning of May, so I missed the timing of writing the devlog that was supposed to be written at the end of April ^^;;
I’ve only left the last planet description, but I’m hoping you’ll enjoy it in the full version game, so I’ll keep the last planet explanation out of the devlog!
==============================
1. Steam Demo released
On the morning of May 7th (KST), the Steam demo of “METAL SUITS” was released. With the Steam demo, we also released a demo launch video with a story.

3. Participating in international events
(1) Participated Steam Next Fest June 2024
METAL SUITS has completed participation in the June Steam Next Fest from June 11th.
(2) Participated Future Games Show Summer Showcase 2024
We are invited to participate in the Future Games Show, an online game show organized by GamesRadar, to exhibit online.
We didn’t know about the event because it was an overseas event(not famous in South Korea), so we didn’t sign up for it, but we got an email from the event producer saying that he played our demo of METAL SUITS and enjoyed it so much that he wanted to showcase our game METAL SUITS at the event.
Our METAL SUITS was featured in the “Ones to Play” section of the Future Games Show!
(3) Participating BitSummit 2024
“METAL SUITS” will be participating in BitSummit 2024, an offline event in Kyoto specializing in indie games. About 450 games were submitted for this year’s event, and luckily, “Metal Suits” passed the screening and will be able to attend.

(4) Participation BIC 2024 (Busan Indie Connect Festival) offline exhibition participation
We are participating in BIC 2024 with “METAL SUITS”. We participated in BIC in 2022 with a prototype of “METAL SUITS”, and now we’re excited to participate again with a nearly finished game.
If you’re coming to the Busan IndieConnect Festival, we’d love to say hello to you at the event.
==============================
Development of METAL SUITS is progressing steadily, and once the PC version is finished, we will port it to XBOX / PlayStation / Nintendo Switch.
We plan to attend as many exhibitions as possible before the release and if we have some issues, we’ll let you know what we are doing!
