New Languages! Winter Conventions! Nominations!
New stuff now, and some on the horizon...
New Languages Playable Now!
By player demand, The Metronomicon is now additionally available in Russian and Brazilian Portuguese!
For you native speakers, that's... Pу́сский and Português-Brasil!
So, you know... if you speak those things (and, erm, also understand me right now...), we have a thing for you!!
Otherwise... play some music and learn you something new!
Conventions! Come See Us In Person!
It's just about convention season again, and we'll be heading all over the place!
First, in the second week of March, we'll be heading out to Boston, MA for PAX East!!
Despite the flight and hotel needs, this show has become a second home for us, and I couldn't be more stoked to go. Last year, I had a BABY born while showing this game pre-release at PAX. So, you know... something there will have to beat that!
Then, the very next week, we'll be headed to Austin, TX for SXSW!!!
SXSW Gaming was kind enough to nominate our little musical monstrocity for The Gamer's Voice Award!
It's a voting sort of thang. So, if you're nearby, we want you there. And screaming. Or singing. Loudly.
Mystery Things!
Before those shows, in the weeks that come, you'll see some announcements of some Super cool new Metronomicon news. All of features, stuff, things, and thangs are in the works, and these conventions will be your first chance to get your hands on Some of it!
Playable Convention Reveals, Ho!
Hope you're all enjoying dancing!!

A Weird Ol' Christrmas Gift is Here!!!
Just in time for the holidays... A FREE DLC pack for everyone!
Featuring "Deck The Dubstep" by Andross, this song is festive, jolly, a little bit trippy, and... an experiment in my doing something bizarre. :heartsong:
Playable in the Story DLC dungeon as well as in Freeplay Mode, "Deck The Dubstep" puts a weird little holiday twist on normal song choreography. Something a bit... hm. Well, go play it!
And support Andross by checking it out on iTunes here!
Happy holidays to everyone, and we love your big, dumb face!
To a New Year filled with big ol' Metronomicon announcements (so much in the works... ːsteamhappyː)

Dance Battle to the Tune of your Own Music Library!
Big awesome news! Free update news!
Make Your Own Tunes!
The Metronomicon’s latest update is here, and it opens up so many fun doors to fun.
As of today, per massive player request, you, the player, can create your very own choreography for your very own music and play it in-game! The very same editing tool that was used to create the game’s tracks by us… You now have that thing.
(But, so much prettier! We made it prettier for you!)
All custom created tracks can be played in both Freeplay Mode and in Story Mode (in a brand new DLC dungeon!) with the party of your choice. Each even has its very own leaderboard, so you can beat your own high scores or even challenge your friends to a dance off!
Learn how to use the Metronomicon Step Editor here: www.puuba.com/metronomiconugc
Also! Stepmania Support! Now!
Maybe you’d rather use a tool you already know, or keep something you’ve already made.
If you’ve created music choreography tracks before, or just have some hanging around, we are also pleased to announce that The Metronomicon is now compatible with Stepmania’s popular .SM .DWI, and .SSC file formats. Just import your already created files into the game and dance away!
A full tutorial walkthrough for using Stepmania files can be found here: www.puuba.com/stepmaniasupport
Whether you are looking to casually dance to your own songs or push the difficulty barrier as high as it will go, there is now even more choice of how to play with The Metronomicon!
It’s a good time to visit Koras.
Wewt!

Enhancement Patch Today
Well... The first we've mentioned, at least...
New Features! More Incoming
Hey all! You may have noticed that there's been some quiet patches every day or two since launch. Thank you all for your Super Good ideas, suggestions, and bug notes on the forums! We appreciate them more than we can say!
To that end, since this lil' one makes some more visible changes, we thought we should spell out today's patch contents.
Note that the below also includes references to some changes made over the last week, that may already be in place in your current build.
New Features by Request:
After much player demand, added a “Note Scroll Speed” slider to the Display Options menu.
This slider ranges from .5x to 4x.
As such, THEHUSTLE and SLOWJAMS cheat codes have been removed from the game.
GOTTAGOFAST enemy level was reduced by one.
Note: This tweak has been in place since just about the day GOTTAGOFAST was announced. We wanted the mode to be more speed than survival oriented.
Fixes/Tweaks:
BigPharm Targeting is Smarter.
If all heroes are already Inspired/Protected, Gruver will target whoever has the least buff duration remaining.
Retribution now counts bleed damage toward its total.
This includes bleed damage accrued by cursed items.
Tagged a couple missed songs as YouTube unsafe that were at-first missed. Including the credits. (Sorry!)
Assorted fixes to minor forum-reported and unreported bugs.
Moderate redo of how note timing is handled in-engine, in preparation for more comprehensive upcoming enhancements.
You won't notice anything different yet. ;)
Woot!
Danny :hug: :stonehead:
