Greetings Divers! Today is the day Heavy Metal Death Can launches on Mac and Linux! This is a big moment for us as we want our games to be available on as many platforms as we reasonably can and expanding to the main three PC OS's is a big step towards that goal. And the experience is really good! We developed the game 50/50 on Desktops using Windows and laptops using MacOS and Linux so we knew…
Greetings Divers! I hope you’re well and that you’ve enjoyed the cheats we added to the game last week (Golden KLAS for unga bunga). I wanted to give you an update on what we’re working on now. This week Fredrik’s gotten the game running on Mac and Linux Mint natively! We’ll be doing additional playtesting but initial testing has been very promising :) This week HMDC also became Steam Deck Veri…

Greetings Divers! With patch 1.02 there managed to sneak aboard a couple of small bugs onto the ship which we wanted to sort out ASAP. So without further ado, here is the change log for v1.03. · Fixed armorer calling the telephone in the Armory. · Fixed an item despawn after second boss fight. · Fixed map acting up when player is in Armory. · Fixed a broken music cue. Special shout out to Disco…
Greetings Divers! Patch 1.02 has been deployed! With patch 1.01 we feel the general experience of exploring the HMS Domherren is pretty solid balancing-wise. Wherever you go throughout your adventure you’re likely to find something useful. However, the bosses lacked some of that polish. We had focused on making the intended way of beating them work well that we neglected some of the more basic…
Greetings Divers! Heavy Metal Death Can has been out for almost a week and it's been a pleasure and a privilege to see the community embracing our little horror game. It is the studio's maiden voyage and it's been both heartwarming and harrowing watching streams and reading reviews of the game. We're a small team with limited bandwidth and the amount of feedback we've gotten this week has been…
Greetings Divers! Many thanks to everybody who got onboard the HMS Domherren yesterday for its maiden voyage!

Here's the changelog for patch 1.01: · Fixed collision that player could get stuck on. · Tweaks and ba…
Greetings Divers! Today is the day, Heavy Metal Death Can is unleashed upon the world! What a year it has been!

We’ve made a game we wished existed and we hope you’ll feel that way too! The first reviews are out and we couldn’t be happier with them! JMM and El…

The game has been in development since last december and we are so excited to finally be able to release something playable! In conjunction with this release we've set up a Discord server (bad timing, I know...) to allow players to voice their feedback, report bugs or just ha…
Good evening Submariners! Hope all is well! At Krufs Productions HQ we're keeping busy with the alpha, just wrapping up the first draft of the final boss of the game but since we just hit this milestone I thought an update would be fitting! Since last update we've put out a collection of short form making-of videos where I'm talking about art, audio and music production. I plan to make a couple…
