METAL SUITS: Counter-attack News

METAL SUITS, We need your help!

Hi all!
The never-ending hot summer is over and fall has come in South Korea. I am writing the 18th devlog while welcoming the cool breeze.
I started the article with the title "We need your help", but today I would like to talk about the official version of METAL SUITS and the Steam demo version. And we really need your help!!

==============================

[h2]1. Story about the official version of METAL SUITS[/h2]
METAL SUITS Project began development in May 2022. Since then, development has been done in parallel with other projects, so if you exclude that schedule, the development period has taken approximately 25 months until August 2024.




As of the end of August 2024, the PC version of the game has been completed, and starting in September, optimization work and porting for the console devices release are in progress.

There are three difficulty levels (Normal, Hard, Hell), and in the case of Normal difficulty, it took about 15 hours to clear the stage. If you enjoy other content such as hidden elements and additional stages, it seems that you will need about 18 hours of play.

Personally, I think the "Hell" difficulty is difficult, but it is incredibly fun, so I recommend you enjoy the "Hell" difficulty when the official version comes out.




[h2]2. Story about the Steam Demo version[/h2]
The METAL SUITS demo version was officially(?) released in May 2024. A few days later, we were contacted by the producer of the Future Games Show to introduce our game on their show, and it was exhibited in early June.

And, in June 2024, it was selected as one of 22 featured games by Steam at the Steam Next Fest and was featured in a Steam promotional video.

By the way, did you know? We created new stages for the METAL SUITS demo version that are different from the official version.




Nevertheless, after playing the METAL SUITS, many people left reviews on the discussion board saying that it is really fun. Unfortunately, Steam does not provide a review feature for the demo version, which is why this happened. (I think most users don't know that reviews have been left on the discussion board!!)




But finally in September 2024!!! Steam has updated the feature to allow you to leave reviews for the demo version. Now, if you have played the Metal Suit demo on Steam, you can leave a review like the image below.




[h2]So, we would like to ask everyone who played our game, if you enjoyed the METAL SUITS demo, please leave a review! We would really appreciate it.

METAL SUITS, Steam demo release and other news

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!

==============================

[h2]1. Steam Demo released[/h2]
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.

(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.
