We’ve introduced a host of new systems, features, monsters, and scenes that we want to share with you during this first major test of the game.

Why are we giving you just a small portion of the game right now?
We want your feedback, suggestions, bug reports, and honest opinions about every aspect of the gameplay.

Are the monsters too easy or too hard?
Is there any part of the game that feels overly difficult or unnecessary?
Or maybe you’ve encountered a bug that makes the game tougher or even blocks your progress?

We want to hear it all!
Even if we don’t reply immediately, every suggestion, bug, and piece of advice will be carefully analyzed. We’re determined to fix all issues and create the best version of the game possible.

With your help, M.E.A.T. II – Absolute Zero will become a complete experience!

[h2]IMPORTANT:[/h2]
[h3]How to Report Bugs[/h3]
You can send any issue directly to the active developer at [email protected].

[h3]Please include the following in your report:[/h3]

1) (Optional) Your system specs (graphics card, processor, operating system, RAM).

The exact location and the action you took when the bug occurred.
Example:
2.1) Map number (e.g., Sudbury level 2),
2.2) Where on the map (e.g., by the lake or after passing through the first gate),
2.3) The topic of the bug (e.g., “I can’t open the door”),
2.4) A description of the bug (e.g., “I loaded the game before opening the door; the animation froze, then disappeared, and now I can’t open the door. The only fix is to restart the game or reload the map.”).

3) A short video or screenshot showing the bug. Even a quick phone recording is enough to demonstrate the situation and steps leading to the issue.

We greatly appreciate all your suggestions and bug reports! Together, we’ll create a game that provides hours of flawless, immersive gameplay!


Important Information:
Before the official release, the game will be improved and balanced. We plan to extend the gameplay, and many aspects of the game’s dynamics and progression are already on our to-do list.

The MBS Sect should understand that their first encounter with Sir Duncan Culligan will also be their last.


[h3] A skill that chills to the bone [/h3]
Disgusting and brutal mutants don't plan their moves. Their only goal is to reach you as quickly as possible. It might be worth reminding them that the game's title is Absolute Zero.




[h3] A skill that slows down the time [/h3]
There's no better feeling than calmly ripping out guts when nothing is rushing you ;)




[h3] A skill that ignites a fiery fury [/h3]
The red stone we acquired after a fierce battle with... [no spoilers] allows for a powerful area-wide fire wave attack. Burn all the enemies around you when things get really hot.




Sir Duncan Culligan has plenty more toys, and it would be a shame not to use them against this arrogant Sect. Let us know which skill you like the most and don't forget... it's Absolute Zero, Son.

Sir Duncan Culligan has more ways to wreak havoc in the world of M.E.A.T. II - Absolute Zero. We are preparing much more destruction to environment that rewards you for shooting everywhere and at anything!


[h3] Always worth to give them a shot... [/h3]
We all know that having more ammo is way better than having none... However with new melee weapons... Ahh... We will get to that in another news!




[h3] We all love to find some valuable stuff in dead bodies... Don't we? [/h3]
Dead bodies, hang men, skeletons - all hide some great extras for you.




[h3] Which one do you prefer? Let us know or shall we change it completely? [/h3]
Almost all windows... Ice structures and planks will be destroyable! Better use them before enemies shoot them closing your way to the...




[h3] Better watch your steps... The M.E.A.T. World is filled with deadly traps... [/h3]
And... Triggers! Everything you shoot could activate something... Hidden entrance, secret room or spawn dozens of enemies right in your face!




M.E.A.T. II - Absolute Zero creates a challenge of wit, agility, speed, and most importantly... accuracy. See you after the weekend with a light dose of devastation! Let us know what you would like to see in the game!
