Hey punks,
It's been a bit, hasn't it?
The fine folks at Valve have asked us if we'd like for Anton to partake in their Daily Deal. Thankfully, he granted us power of attorney a long time ago, so once we were able to straggle him down long enough to be sedated, we figured "Why not?"
As a result, ANTONBLAST is now 20% off for a limited time! If for whatever reason you were on the fence (why?), or you just have some friends you feel like giving the game to (lucky them), now would be the time to do it. I'm even okay with you giving me a bit less money for it right now.
"But a plain old discount surely isn't news!" I hear you cry. Personally, I think it is, but don't worry: there's more.
Today we've also launched our FIRST MAJOR UPDATE. It's live on Steam right now! It's absolutely gargantuan and covers a lot of issues we(you) had with the game... PLUS some new features.
That's far from the last update we have planned, though. Stay tuned for more news on that.
I'm also proud to say that we're (FINALLY) submitting the ANTONBLAST soundtrack for release today! This has been an incredibly long time coming - sorry - but I can promise you it's worth it. Each track has been fully remixed from the ground up from its original version in the game, meaning these are the DEFINITIVE versions with improved mixing + mastering, and even some never-before-heard sections. Accept no imitators!
Steam requires us to keep the OST store page visible for a few weeks prior, so if you see it ahead of time but can't purchase... that's why. We can't make it go any quicker, sorry!
I'll let Alex take the patch notes away below...
Until next time, punks.
