Greetings submariners! We’re happy to announce that the first public demo of Heavy Metal Death Can is now live on Steam! The game has been in development since last december and we are so excited to finally be able to release something playable!

In conjunction with this release we've set up a Discord server (bad timing, I know...) to allow players to voice their feedback, report bugs or just hang out and talk all things Death Can. If you want to join the link is below, otherwise we gladly accept feedback on the Steam forum as well!

The demo has already been played and reviewed by the https://thesurvivalhorror.com and https://survivalhorrors.com communities in written and video form and it's glorious!

As for development we're currently chipping away at the beta of the game and we aim to be able to post more as we approach launch. If you'd like to be part of the closed beta-test, keep your eyes peeled for an announcement which should be coming out within the next couple of months.

We hope you enjoy the demo and we can't wait to hear what you think about it! It's time to get up, on your feet, soldier!

Skål!

Good evening Submariners!

Hope all is well!

At Krufs Productions HQ we're keeping busy with the alpha, just wrapping up the first draft of the final boss of the game but since we just hit this milestone I thought an update would be fitting!

Since last update we've put out a collection of short form making-of videos where I'm talking about art, audio and music production. I plan to make a couple more if I find the time, so any suggestions of something game dev related that you would want to see lemme know!

Here's a link to a playlist with these videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOYVTzTkrlfx28uZTiiUZ1uYtZPR_0Ejd

This summer I had the pleasure to be invited to the La Boveda Podcast to talk about the game and Survival Horror in general:

One thing I mentioned in this interview is my view on melee weapons in Survival Horror and that we won't have any. Well, I'm happy to announce that we've backpedaled on that and have now developed a melee weapon that we feel works great within our design! I'll go into details on it in an upcoming dev short but for now we think this is a fresh implementation that doesn't take away from the resource management aspect of the game. And, it's really fun to use too! Thank you so much for wishlisting our little horror game and for coming along on this journey! As we approach beta we'll have a lot of exciting updates coming your way but for now we wish you a happy horror season!

All the best, skål!
