Iron Meat News

With PAX East 2024 now in the rearview mirror, we wanted to share some of our photos and experiences at the event!

Here's a photo of our booth setup showing all the games we featured!


We're so grateful for all the love and valuable feedback we got from so many of you who visited our booth to play Iron Meat! We answered questions from players, members of the press, and content creators, and we're so excited to be continuing with development from here!


This year, the Iron Meat demo featured 2 playable levels: Forest and Train. However, this time, we changed what skins were made available for players to pick and choose from--ranging from a shark with a water helmet, a Meat soldier, a robot warrior, and more!

We'd like to give a HUUUGE thanks to everyone who showed up to play at our booth, and we hope you enjoyed the most recent demo version of Iron Meat!



Look forward to even more as we continue on with development!

When the Meat latches onto unsuspecting Earth Counter Invasion Force (ECIF) patrol bikers, their bodies become puppets used to pilot their air bikes!


You’re bound to encounter these flying bikers across several levels in Iron Meat! Whether it’s on the runaway Meat Train or in the burning City, these enemies will never NOT be a constant threat every time they fly onto the screen!


Appearing alone or in twos, some riders will be armed with pistols–weapon remnants already equipped on their once-human victims. These armed bikers will fire at you as they soar above, so shoot them all down before they can make it offscreen!

Don’t let its appearance fool you–the All-Terrain Meat is incapable of moving on its own. Think of it as…a very stylish (grotesque) turret! Let’s take a look:

For starters, you’ll notice the reanimated body of an unfortunate human victim positioned as if they were still riding their ECIF-provided ATV. On one hand, you’d be right! On the other hand, you’d be wrong to assume that human still has any control over their actions!


Likely a result of several Meat spores latching onto a moving driver, the All-Terrain Meats now remain stationary in their positions–being unable to roll on their clearly visible wheels. However, they are still very much lethal!

Using the arms of their victim, the Meat spores within are able to simulate a human firing their gun at enemies. With all ECIF ATV drivers only carrying pistols, you’ll wanna go prone or evade their bullet projectiles to eliminate them!


Stay tuned for even more as we continue with development!

Who says the Meat has no taste for cars? Well, actually it doesn't; it'll infect and assimilate any and all vehicles, to be honest--BUT HEY! Let's take a look!

[h3]Make, Model, and MEAT![/h3]
You'll notice not all infected cars have the same shape--that's because the Meat isn't particularly fond of any one style!...Or maybe it just doesn't care; it just wants to CONSUME.


[h3]"Dead" Driver!...No, ACTUALLY a Dead Driver![/h3]
It is not for the faint of heart to think about how the last moments of sanity were like for any infected drivers found within Meat-assimilated cars. Now, you'll see them shooting fiery projectiles out of their heads, or wielding handguns already equipped by their former human selves! Being too far gone with their monstrous vehicles, you'll have to eliminate them, too!


[h3]Raining Fire![/h3]
Refashioned after undergoing Meat assimilation, some flying cars will now have the ability to launch missiles from under their hoods! You can destroy these as they descend to try and reach you, or you can show off your dodging skills! (We recommend the former!)


Stay tuned for even more updates as we continue on with development!
