Pre-Orders Are Live!
Fear and the music envelop me..!
Pre-Orders! Up! Meow!
We're so very close to the release of this musical beast!
We're super excited, and have set up a handful of perks for pre-ordering before the game comes out!
Exclusive Pre-Orders Perks
Just for pre-ordering (which nets you a pre-order discount as well!), we've got a few exclusives for you!
The full Original Score to the game, composed by J-Punch just for the game!
Our plans are currently to ONLY offer this as a pre-order incentive. Wait too long, and it's gone Forever!
An original Art Book, featuring all sorts of awesome character and background concepts from the game. Some original concept art can indeed only be seen here.
Did I mention it's twenty percent off, just for pre-orders?!
A Soundtrack Even!!
We've had lots of asks about the soundtrack, to date. Finally, we can say a definitive YES.
Thirty-Eight Tracks of dope-ass freshness await your hungry ear holes.
This contains a huge swath of the playable music contained in the game.
From a huge variety of artists, including Jimmy Urine from Mindless Self Indulgence, Shiny Toy Guns, Perturbator, Viking Guitar, Maini Sorri, Mega Ran, Dj CUTMAN, and... (god, I'm a jerk if I don't type Every band here, now, aren't I...) umm...
The whole soundtrack is listed over thar!
It's just about gamedev pants pooping time!

We're Also Headed to Germany!
You may notice in this newest trailer a reference to Gamescom. That's right. Danny (me!) is taking his (my) first (1st) trip to Germany!
We're marching the game out with a brand new playable build, bringing some challenge sidequests with us for the first time.
Come hang out, say hello, or get your hands on an early peek!
We're super excited to watch some peoplez dance!

The Cutscenes! Some is Revealed!
And, personally, I think they're sexy as dang...
Wanna See a Sneak Peek at Art???
By now, we all know that The Metronomicon is a rhythm game at heart. But... totally also an RPG..?
And any proper RPG has a meaty storyline, right?
Shazam! A big ol' pile of cutscenes, hand painted, and masterfully voice-acted by some of my new favorite people in the world.
The world of Koras has been overrun by mysterious dance parties, cropping up all across the world. Only The Neon Shield, the premier school for study of the rhythmic combat arts, has the skills to find the cause. Go forth, into the hoppin' dungeons before you, and dance a stop to this musical madness!

Real Fake Guitars! A CUSTOM DANCE PAD!
Cuz fighting battles Should build up a sweat...
Big And Awesome Plastic Toys!!!
We've been working hard on getting this working, and I think it's 'bout time to announce something we're really excited about over here.
Custom Dance Pads!!!
Puuba will be working with Precision Dance Pads to create custom Metronomicon-skinned dance pads! These mats are Super high quality.
Solid, hard backed, glossy high rez printing, and...
Two custom additional buttons, to support shifting lanes in combat!
This is just about the most handsome device that has ever been in my home...
Also... Big Grown Up Toys!!
Do you own any big plastic guitars? Rock Band, Guitar Hero, etc?
Those work too!!! It actually feels shockingly natural, and is quickly becoming one of my favorite ways to play.
You gotta take a peek at some of this stuff in action...

So much fun to be had, in so many ways!!
Huzzah!

Sidequests, and Arenas, and Online Dominance!
We got even more RPG into our... RPG...
Treasures Lie Ahead!!
We've done some dancing, and (probably) some singing, and a little rocking out. But, wanna do some hardcore combat??
In this week's Metronomicon Minute, we chat a bit about...
Sidequests! Arena Battles! Powerful loot that can only be had through a thoroughly screwed-with challenge!
What if... boulders were tumbling everywhere, and the field were filled with mines? What if you couldn't stop bleeding, through a mess of songs in a row?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqjQCXITksg
Battle to the interweb tippity-tops in a variety of Sidequests, or take on specialized challenges in the Arena!
Plus... a new song announcement!!
Me!

A Monster Dance Party!
Danny's been rambling too much, right..?
The Mysteries of the Artx0rz!!
It seemed like a good time to take a break from me prattling on.
So, how about some good ol' fashioned artsy fun, yeah?
A big ol monster dance party!!
For Part 5 of our Metronomicon Minute, we thought we'd share some art in progress with ya'll. Some concept art, some animation tests, and a few finished creatures.
Skeletons, and plant monsters, and other spooky things!
Spooky spooky... dancing.

See how Joey and Mike make the creatures come to life!!
To liiiiife! :stonehead:

Surviving The PAX Bostoniana.
Plus, a team baby was born while we were there!
PAX Hath Concluded!
It was big, and scary, and super fun, and we beat all the minibosses and fled.
It was a lot of talking, And singing, AND dancing, but we ate all the chicken we found on the floor, barely kept our team HP, and danced our way to victory.
If you were there, you might have seen our first playable build, and the announcement of Five new songs for the game.
If you weren't there... let me share some of the spirit here:
