Why we're launching a massive free update for our game - Raw Metal 1.2.0 Devlog

[@00paincakes00]

i can't think of anything more reassuring than an in depth, honest devlog like this. thanks for the transparency, and for the badass game.

[@fiddlestickjones]

idk why , but this feels like a spiritual successor to the flash game "electric man 2" i cannot explain why, for even i do not know

[@davixx1995]

you nearly gave me a moment like ratatouille's critic where he saw himself as a kid man, don't bring back such memories just like that, nearly gave me whiplash

[@JeremyTheBreadKnife]

Bro same electric man 2 is amazing and this game gives me those vibes

[@otamatonefan8996]

It's that sillouette and sharp colours isn't it? The unlockable colours for electric man was all sharp too.

[@flooku987]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FR

[@JeremyTheBreadKnife]

@@otamatonefan8996 oh yeah that and the regeneration visor has a similar feel to the headgear in this game

[@fezman7927]

I remember playing the demo and hitting the boss and going “Yeah no, I can’t do this” I only had training with guards and I’m not the person to grind a bunch to meat grinder myself into learning. Now with this update, I feel confident enough to put on my wishlist again. Great work Raw Metal team, May your next projects soar even higher.

[@donovan9324]

God, it's just the coolest game. It's never not raw. And you're out here still making it better. Hats off, dude.

[@Yosunai]

As Someone who only played the Demo so far, this made me get it. Your passion for this and the communities feedback is amazing and inspiring!

[@iambran]

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being some the coolest devs i can think of, and for making one of the coolest games i've ever played

[@teem_boo]

As someone that LOVES the look, art style and vibe of the game (it was made for ME and MY LIKING SPECIFICALLY!!!!!!!) but has tiny hands thus making me need to rebind controls every new game I play and also was wrecked by the first boss, I am SO HAPPY for this update! Can't wait to pick up the game again!!!!!!!!

[@mylesmixon5078]

Those difficulty options are a baller update to an awesome game. The atmosphere of the game also inspired a story I’m writing, so thanks for that.

[@hiimshort]

Awesome! I loved the vibe of raw metal when I saw it for the first time prior to release and had a blast playing it when the game finally came out. All of these changes go above and beyond what I could have hoped for in terms of quality of life. The core of the game is great, all of these tweaks and configurables let that core express itself more fully. Thank you all for making this game and creating such an enjoyable experience.

[@snesnerd3988]

i think making it so the player can choose exactly how they want to play is really cool! most game devs just tell players who want that kinda customization to go away so its really cool to see you guys encourage us to mess around with how the game works. very excited to be playing this update.

[@toastedcarpenter122]

This is so metal, I'm glad it's getting genuine polish on that shine.

[@suzannafreund5745]

I only played the demo, but hearing that you now have improved camera control is MASSIVE, that was like the main thing putting me off from enjoying it more. I'll definitely play the full game soon!

[@exertations]

If you pause the game during extraction in softlocks the game btw just found this seconds ago. (Game is stupendous though keep up the good work for any future projects)

[@Brawlatron]

This game is a diamond in the rough. Thank you guys.

[@WhiskeyTango-cp2fz]

I cant wait to see whats next in the raw metal universe

[@mysterwobble]

I love this dev team so much.

[@feraBR]

if this game is already a banger, can't wait for the next

[@SissypheanCatboy]

Oh, rad. I played the demo a while back, but this is definitely the push I needed to buy the full game.

[@scrublordesaka3678]

This is my favourite indie game of this year and likely of all time

[@PatienceMakesPerfect]

I loved the demo so much that when I realized I was too broke to play the full game, I replayed it until I was able to dog walk the first boss with no gear. I NEEED this game 😭

[@PatienceMakesPerfect]

Legit if someone bought this game for me I’d use my B teir editing skills to make a full play through 🤩

[@IndieVoice]

Wow a very big update to this game :D! Can't wait to get back into it! That is a good idea to adding a mini boss to give hints of what you will experience in the future fights! Keep up the amazing work!

[@Nickw2004]

Off i go to sink 20 hours enjoy the hell out of it and retract my angry and frustrated review from times long ago! Thank you raw metal devs for the work and love you put in for this game and these videos. Truly a joy to watch all the way through! If and when, I cant wait for the next update.

[@LiquidOrcana]

Genunintely the sickest Devlog I've seen in a long time Defintely gonna have to pick this up, shocked I hadn't before; the game looks absolutely sick And your thought process around balancing and tackling problems with the update really makes me excited to try it out

[@MrJohnthegamerHD]

This video was all the reason I needed to finally buy this. You guys are awesome, I can tell just by your honesty and ability to incorporate feedback.

[@muffy7268]

i heard of this game a few months ago and my friend informing me of this update is definitely making me want to pick it up, thank you!

[@poppop-poppop]

Love it when a Dev actually sounds like they are part of the Gaming Community and not disconnected from it

[@KH-8861]

Very good job.

[@Swiizzelss]

not something ive seen people talk about but actually explaining how the difficulty changes the game is amazing. cant wait to pick this game up.

[@astrius22]

your game seems pretty cool, i'd like to buy it someday.

[@ianmurphy7460]

Rawest news I've heard all day

[@R8MIX]

Gonna get this game on Christmas, can’t wait to try it.

[@PurplePikminSupremacy]

The introduction of the Lyla miniboss as a means to ease difficulty is some really cool game design stuff. Good work!

[@gaetangousseaud1646]

Been eyeing this one for a long time, alright you got me, I am in, time to go raw. Amazing dev vlog !

[@ozzie1778]

Uggggh how have I never HEARD OF THIS? I'm buying it the second I've got spare funds and I'm sticking around for any future stuff you guys work on!

[@peavuh]

as someone who likes more ''low stakes'' games being able to turn off gear loss is so nice

[@professorgucho2629]

woah this looks cool as shit and this devlog video was a great watch! getting the game!

[@MOOMOO22MOO]

I have never heard of this game before, and it doesn't look like it's for me. But this update looks sick! If I played this game I would be super hype! Love the clear passion, care, and through you guys put into this!

[@Hajber]

I never heard of this game, but this devlog randomly popped up in my feed and Im glad it did. Bought the game before the video ended

[@localpieceofcheese]

Thank you for making this game!!!!! words cannot express at how much I fuggin love you fellas for cooking up these feasts like srsly now I'm gonna spend a LOT more hours into this!! >:D

[@davedunmire2278]

Thanks for all your hard work!

[@RenMomoDotPog]

I love this game so much I had my sona drawn in the scavengers outfit :3

[@angeltex]

tysm for this update guys

[@Akira_VC0]

Ever since I've played the demo fell in love with this game, but I still haven't gotten the full game because of life lmao. But now that I know that there is more content and it's on sale, imma cop it at my latest convenience.

[@Astradenix]

Lyla is my new favorite character only for that "*STAY AWAY FROM MY FORGE** and that alone. Sounds so RAW (Ba dum tss) and seems the relation between the scav and her is going be be extremely comical. Love it. Props to the VA! I've never played the game, but I probably will now.

[@feeldesu182]

Hi, was looking forward to buying the game for a while now, and this update has convinced me to buy it. I would say, the game is too fun and our miner guy is such a menace, keep on cooking please

[@colorphone5154]

Honestly, when I first heard of the game, during the demo release, I was GUTTED to learn that progression followed the *risk reward* type structure that extraction games followed, which I just can't like personally. So hearing there's the more lenient story option really wants me to get back into the game. Cheers to the Devs and their future

[@shubunaga8894]

adoro a estética do jogo, além das músicas legais e história interessante - valeu cada centavo

[@dolki715]

This Devlog so good, I want to finally pull this game out of my wishlist by the scruff of its neck and throw it into my cart!!!!!

[@roguekeychain1848]

Great Game, Amazing Devs

[@D3vious113]

Ooooh, Lyla steadily gaining new abilities to foreshadow boss mechanics is a sick twist. I've only heard of this game in passing and have no idea how this video hit my recommended's, but it's going on my wishlist and probably into my library since AC-VI is on sale and today's payday XD might as well go deep lol Real talk though this looks sick and I love how y'all present things so casually. If nothing else, I'm happy to support a group that just seems excited about their project. It's giving me Sven vibes for BG3, someone downright giddy about the cool thing they did.

[@theman11119]

now my friends can enjoy the game without ragequitting!!!!!

[@ARStudios2000]

As someone who enjoyed the hell out of Godhand, this seems like an interesting game to try out as well! I haven't played many beat em ups but those that i did try were greatly enjoyable so i definitely wanna try this one out too.

[@ratking1776]

This is so sick I would love to see this on consoles, I’d buy it instantly

[@loolkaaslukas]

Welp, on the steam wishlist you, go Now I know what can play during the winter holidays

[@citizenofhyrule]

good voice you got. stylish game you got.

[@sometoaster5530]

im gonna buy

[@CodenameCMB]

Never heard of this game before but honestly now I want to challenge this lyra. Her forge will be mine!

[@slime_hex]

MUDMAN!!!!!!

[@nebulastar3087]

First time hearing about this game but it looks awesome!

[@Anonymouseyoutuber]

Love the forge voice actor 😁

[@nomal8954]

Sick shit. A lot of these were changes to things I felt made the experience worse for me when playing the demo, especially the hold for hard attacks and getting detected off screen. I also think the new progression system is genius. Looking forward to trying it again.

[@Rabid_Muffin]

i have heard of this game like once before and today i will buy it and try to 100% it because of the fact that mudman exists

[@davedunmire2278]

Lya is a great idea! creating a skill training enemy is way cooler than nerfing bosses

[@tarion2083]

This game was the best hidden gem i've played.

[@marshalman2252]

Game looks neato, I’ll have to try the demo and see if I catch on!

[@kairu_b]

Nice work!

[@Ploinkus]

I wish there was a camera option to remove the top down view, I think it would make the game more immersive and also make the stealth a little more difficult and interesting but also I have like brain worms so

[@xxmlgtwinkiegamerxx7916]

Guys, guys look, the parry *does*

[@meemeleem]

that story mode progression sounds wonderful, i despise permadeath mechanics of any kind but i absolutely love the rest of the game

[@sharksaresillyfellas]

love this game

[@Мот-з9л]

I was just having a mental rest from second layer and accidentally stumbled upon a devlog in reccomndation section. Save to say, hyped....Geez, while all the games I like to play get big updated in December of all months..

[@Mahagion]

This is an excellent video! I enjoyed watching it a lot, and it makes me even more excited to finally purchase the game when I can afford to! Well, I mean- I can already afford it, but I just need to find the time to actually play it. Got a backlog to clear 'n' all that, y'know? Anyways, this is some seriously cool stuff! Ever since I played the demo I knew this game scratched an itch like no other game has before, and this update... scratches it... harder? Yeah, sure, scratches it harder. That's not a lame way of putting it. No sireee... Seriously though, I had a damn good time watching this! Lyla is an excellent addition and while I personally enjoyed the demo's difficulty, this kind of accessibility and customizability is always welcome, so I appreciate that it's here now! Plus, who am I to say no to a brutal challenge? Heheh. Oh, OH! AND IDLE ANIMATIONS??? Like, out of everything presented here, this is what got me the most excited. I dunno man, but seeing enemies goof off in a stealth game is always a lot of fun in my opinion, and makes the game's world feel so much more alive. Seriously, this is a lovely update! Great voice, by the way! Very pleasant to listen to. Good luck on all future endeavors!

[@demolisher_9895]

i played the demo and enjoyed the game so much my problem was the parry window was too small for me and the camera was wonkyy and that made the game very defficult for me .... this is soooooooo cool to see from the devs id like to assure you that i will be buying raw metal now .

[@Dr.Alligator]

Maybe I can beat the first boss now 😅

[@Borfsucc]

Yippee!!!

[@dgfjdfgjfdgjfdgjfdgjfdgj]

cool I discovered a new game, I'll buy it in a few months or years, depending on my wallet

[@CombustibleToast]

big

[@Valtremors]

This is quite good. I enjoyed combat and mechanics, however I really dislike the "ground zero" approach the game had upon failure. It didn't motivate me to improve since once I realized that any and all progress would be temporary unless you coward out constantly. It felt more like padding to prevent people going down to end in one go.

[@arnanthachai5427]

I can parry a taser!?

[@charred_dog]

Stay awAy from mA forge!

[@spookys1695]

this game reminds me of sifu

[@OwenAsh]

i promise i'll buy the game on new years :(((((((

[@boyman2811]

For honesty's sake, I only played the demo a while back and had some reservations about buying the game, but I was mildly interested. This video not only pushed me to decide to never buy the game, but also fueled my paranoia regarding post-launch updates making games substantially worse. I do not like difficulty settings in games that are meant to be difficult. I can tolerate them if they're not excessive and/or are easy to ignore and forget about, but having difficulty presets as well as sliders AND having them be excessible at any time actively makes a game harder to enjoy for me. Especially if they weren't there when i bought it (happened with Dead Cells). IF you care (I'm not getting my hopes up), here's two solutions I personally would be happy with: 1. have the difficulty settings be a free dlc so people can have them in their copies only if they want them. 2. add an option to remove or lock the difficulty settings for the duration of the playthrough. I know how this comment comes across from someone who hasn't even bought the game, but at least I don't feel scammed by this game in particular.

[@MrMister681]

Can someone tell me if they ever added detailed descriptions on how to use the stealth gadgets in the selection menu? You know, Metal Gear style. That's the one thing I thought the game really needed since the demo, I kept not knowing what to press to use them.

[@RawMetalGame]

Yes, you can check the tips menu for details on how to use gadgets!

[@MysteriousPotatoe]

How about moving the style meeter above the players head

[@kilvgdit9082]

Well... You sell me this game. I can't not to take this game after this presentation.

[@wyllgalaxy1009]

Do you think this game might come to console someday.

[@imgoodatnames]

WHY DIDNT I HEAR ABOUT THIS GAME.RELEASING

[@Calmer4906]

Pritty interesting game and I hope to see where goes..... perhaps on console 👉👈🙄

[@kaapr7786]

please dont stop working on this game :(

[@Dane12704]

I need this game on console

[@shed_worrior4022]

Can you please add more player customization 🤏🙌

[@Shizkeb]

Yeah updates are normally free

[@zuzingo.]

[@EJoSt-w8g]

Nice forge
