[p]Our teams at Glowmade and Amazon Games are excited to bring you into the world of Loregok on October 7. Whether you prefer to conquer nightmarish obstacles or create the dungeon of your dreams, King of Meat celebrates players and creators. We will continue to shape the future of the game together through your ongoing feedback.[/p][p]Our next step toward fostering that relationship is communications like this blog. We will strive to be open, communicative, and transparent about what’s coming at launch and in the future. While the specifics may change throughout development, here’s an early overview of our values.[/p][h3]
Our Values[/h3][p]As Amazon Games and Glowmade worked together to develop the business model for King of Meat, we identified three core principles that embody our values, serve as our foundation, and guide our decision-making.[/p]

1. [p]No pay-to-win: All purchases in-game are purely cosmetic and have no impact on game play.[/p]
2. [p]Choice: All cosmetics are completely optional.[/p]
3. [p]Transparency: There are no loot boxes or any other randomised form of monetisation. This means that players always know exactly what they are buying and how much it costs.[/p]

[h3]Game Content[/h3][p]King of Meat is a co-op party platformer, pitting up to 4 players against devious dungeons filled with puzzles to solve, challenges to traverse, and ridiculous monsters to fight. Progress through official and community-built dungeons to unlock new abilities and gear on your way to becoming the ultimate Contender.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]There will be over 100 dungeons available at launch, but that number will quickly grow as the community pushes Create Mode to its limits. Most launch dungeons were meticulously crafted by Glowmade, while some came straight from the next generation of dungeon creators like you. These community-built dungeons were hand-picked from our ongoing playtests.[/p][p]Before we talk more about player impact, let’s first discuss dungeon categories.[/p]

• [p]Multiplayer: Get famous or die trying alongside your friends. Multiplayer features curated dungeons sorted into "Leagues" of varying difficulty for parties and random squads.[/p]
• [p]Discovery: Dungeon creators pour their blood, sweat, and fears into crafting only the finest obstacle courses. Discover more joyfully unhinged dungeons and give new dungeon creators the recognition they deserve. From outrageous enemy gauntlets to methodical puzzles, nothing is off the table in King of Meat.[/p]
• [p]Specials: Whether you are crowned victorious or perish anonymously, you’ll need to impress your audience with stylish combos and over-the-top Glory Moves for a spot on the leaderboard. Make your name known through high score challenges like Slay of the Day and Dungeon of the Day.[/p]
• [p]Solo: Learn more about the colourful characters, corporations, and world of Loregok in narrative-driven dungeons. You’ll also master weapon-specific training dungeons to hone your skills.[/p]

[p]These dungeons have been made with the same tools that you can use to create your own fiendish playgrounds. If you can play it, you can build it. We cannot wait to see how Loregok will become even more ridiculous through your stylish actions, wondrous creativity, and silly contributions.
[/p][h3]Future Updates[/h3][p]King of Meat updates to the base game will be free for all players who’ve bought the game. While we aren’t ready to talk about post-launch support just yet, you can look forward to new game modes, player customisation options, Create Mode tools, regular events, dungeons, and more. Your feedback is always appreciated. Stay tuned for more details.

We’ll introduce the Hall of Pain in more detail post-launch alongside additional plans for player celebrations in-game as well as across our website and social media.[/p][p][/p][h3]Character Customisation[/h3][p]Few survive the dungeons of Komstruct Koliseum, so which of your looks will leave a lasting impression beyond each dungeon into the cold, dry eyes, and warm pitter-pattering hearts of fans everywhere?[/p][p]Embrace chaotic customisations across outfits, weapons, accessories, Glory Moves, emotes, banners, stickers, and decorations. In Ironlaw Plaza, cosmetics can be obtained in exchange for gold (earned through dungeons) at vendors in the hub area, as rewards for leveling up the Road to Glory progression system, and through accomplishments called Triumphs.
