Congrats on the Steam release! I bought it a while ago and that reminded me that I never ended up finishing it. Just finished then, and the ending was awesome!

I'm really psyched for the sequel, I checked it out at PAX Aus last year, are you exhibiting again this time around?

Hey, sorry for the slow response - we'll be at PAX Aus again this year. We'll see you there!

WalkThruWalls... any plans for submitting the game to GOG? 

There were... until they were shot down - GOG does not sell games priced under $5.99. Just an FYI for anyone planning to sell their game on there!

Awesome, enjoy the game guys.

Metal Dead is finally available on Steam - 66% off for the first 6 days, 6 hours, and 6 minutes!

We just wanted to thank the AGS community for all the support we've had over the long life of this game (it's truly undead)... and as a token of gratitude, we thought we'd dump a few Steam keys for whoever grabs 'em first.

Excellent in-depth preview/interview on Metal Dead: Encore is up over at Gamezebo!

And another nice preview over at IndieGames:

Looks great! Your art has evolved a lot! Will this one feature MIDI music like the first one? It would really benefit from some real recorded metal.

Check out the teaser trailer that we showed at PAX Australia, we have a MUCH updated metal soundtrack this time! The trailer music was composed and recorded for us by our new musician who is currently scoring the entire game for us. He's amazing!

Awesome. Thanks for the support guys.

We'll be aiming for GOG, Desura, Gamersgate, Indievania... and if the galaxies allign, the savior returns, and cats and dogs start living together in harmony... maybe Steam.

GAME

What is Metal Dead: Encore? It's a horror/comedy/apocalyptic/zombie/cartoon/gorefest/heavy metal game made with AGS!

Metal Dead: Encore is the epic continuation of the original Metal Dead story, but don't let that scare you off! While playing the first game is certainly recommended (it's cheap!) it's not a necessity, as the plot of Metal Dead is summed up neatly in the first ten minutes of Encore. Besides - every copy of Metal Dead: Encore will come with a free copy of the original Metal Dead. That's right, two games for the already low price of one!

We're aiming for a Q2 2014 release.

STORY

The seaside village of Rodeo is usually a peaceful place to live... but once a year the Hoofs and Horns heavy metal festival rolls in and makes a hell of a lot of noise. Things get even noisier when an evil genetically mutated landshark bent on world domination escapes a research facility and rampages into town. You read correctly - a friggin' landshark... with the ability to infiltrate dreams and turn its victims into members of its own ever-growing ravenous undead army!

You play as Malcolm, a mild-mannered, intelligent, non-stereotypical metalhead drawn into all this madness against his will. Tagging along on his quest to defeat the evil nightmare-landshark is his best friend and ex-bandmate Ronnie. Ronnie has a problem, you see. He's a metalhead. Literally, he's just a head! An undead metalhead who follows Malcolm around on a brand new set of spider legs!

Metal Dead: Encore is a tale of friendship, heavy metal, and overcoming adversity in the face of the undead horde.

FEATURES

We here at Walk Thru Walls Studios have learned a lot and made a metric buttload of improvements since releasing the original Metal Dead. Metal Dead: Encore features:

- Smooth hand-drawn animations
- Beautifully detailed backgrounds
- An intense, completely original ear-bleeding heavy metal soundtrack
- Hilarious dialogues and a cast of bizarre, disturbed characters
- Fully integrated achievements
- Unique hint system in the form of Ronnie, your undead spider-head buddy
- A heartfelt story full of zombies, gore and mayhem

How did we never realize this podcast existed?! And Metal Dead was featured in the first episode... shame on us! A very belated thank you for the kind words.

Now to listen to the rest of them!

Yeah, just picked it up this morning!

Enjoying it very much so far

Great to hear! And thanks for the write up on your blog. Love your games too! 

Metal Dead is currently part of the Bundle in a Box Adventure Bundle along with: Gemini Rue, Ben There Dan That/Time Gentlemen, Please!, The Shivah, 1893: A World's Fair Mystery, and The Sea Will Claim Everything (made exclusively for the bundle).

That's a lot of point and clicking for such a low price!

We're unfashionably late and probably wasting time doing this now... but hey, whatever.

And here's a quick review roundup:

Alternative Magazine Online
"Walk Thru Walls Studios have launched with an inspired debut effort... Stuffing a zombie head down your pants has never been so much fun!" - 8.5/10

Adventure Gamers
"This first outing by two-man developer Walk Thru Walls floored me pretty much across the board with its humorous, gory, zombie-filled romp." - 4/5

The Reticule
"Admittedly, the zombie genre is getting a little long in the tooth, but Metal Dead approaches the apocalyptic with a fresh style and comic humour throughout." - 4/5 (Head Shot)

The Indie Shelter
"Recommended for adventure lovers as much for those who want to take their first steps into the genre." - 8/10

GameCola
"The narrative combines horror and comedy elements to provide a story that is both entertaining and surprisingly poignant at times." - 7/10

Capsule Computers
"Metal Dead will win you over â€" no questions asked." - 7/10

This looks great, have you thought of putting it up on Indievania? It'll give you a better return than Plimus, they only take 5% and 5 cents for the PayPal transaction. They've been good for us so far!

Absolutely hilarious game from start to finish. Been waiting for this one since its announcement.
