'Com & Gone! An update on Metavoidal's International Tour!


We’ve come & gone to one international event, now we look at ’Com-ing at another two; Gamescom & Devcom, to be exact.

I hope the team likes beer, sausages and unfavourable exchange rates, because they’re heading to Germany in just a few weeks! There will be an event exclusive build available at our stall, so if you find yourself able to attend please go check it out. You might even get some free things!

But hold up, let’s take a quick step back. A lot has happened recently…

THE CORRUPTION SPREADS

In case you don’t follow us anywhere else: we’ve got a game publisher for Metavoidal!

Isn’t that just neat? Their name is Astrolabe Games, and they’re honestly just a lovely bunch of people*.
*I’m not contractually made to say this :P

They usually mainly operate in the Asian market, but we’re charming enough to convince them to help us bring MV to the whole planet (lucky you!). This does change a few internal due-dates but you wouldn’t have known about those anyway, so it’s fine.

Their first act as our glorious global game lords was to include the game in their BitSummit stall. Making Japan the first stop on our world tour! :D It was a great response from the community, but not yet ‘Big in Japan’ levels. We’ll build up to that one day…

At least now the game is localised for the Japanese & Chinese audiences. So that’s one step closer, I guess!

COM & GET IT

Get it? Because we’re going to GamesCom? Anyway…

Our team will be in the lovely city of Cologne from the 21st ‘til the 27th, so if you find yourself in need of an indie game injection you’ll know exactly where to find us. We’ll have some art cards to hand out to attendees, as well as other things, so come and say hi!

WHAT’S NEXT?

A Next Fest, obviously! We’re using these physical events to help train us for the NEXT big thing, which is a Steam Next Fest. You’ll be able to play the game, on Steam, for the first time later this year. So keep your eyes open for that announcement!

The devs are really hard at work trying to make this the best game they can make in the time we have, so we’d love your feedback on it when the time comes.

THE END

I’m kidding, I’ll obviously say goodbye first.

Thanks for reading! It’s nose to the grindstone again after I press ‘Publish’, so if you ever wonder where we are… We’re right here! Reach out to us if you ever have a question, or join our discord to chat with us about cats and metal music.

OK, see you soon, Germany!
