Major Demo Overhaul

Mad Metal Demo · published 14 Jul 2025, 12:28 UTC · build 18087218

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Demo overhaul is now live!


700 playtests + 6,000 demo plays = one big patch.

Arena Mode & Infinite Open-World

  • Players can now choose between arena-style deathmatches based on real-world locations, or explore an infinite open-world wasteland.

New Vehicles:

  • Falcon (based loosely on the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat).
  • Scorpion.

Main Menu Overhaul

  • The main menu was removed in favor of an in-game menu. This change has been reverted and players now start in the main menu.
  • Added autodetection of screen resolution.
  • Added 15+ hotkey bindings

Camera Switching

  • Added a third FPS-style camera for the primary weapon.
  • Camera switching is more robust and remembers your last aim position.

Graphics Overhaul

  • Next-gen lighting & ray marching for high end graphics cards.
  • Added 4 graphics presets to choose from.

On-The-Fly Vehicle Adjustments

  • Activate the ancient garage for in-game vehicle modification without having to go to the main menu.

Hundreds of Bug Fixes and Performance Optimizations

  • Fixed all known camera rotation and camera switching issues.
  • Fixed all known crashes on level start.
  • Fixed 100% GPU usage in main menu.
  • Fixed underutilized multithreaded CPU usage.

Stay tuned for a Kickstarter announcement (with limited edition rewards like diecast vehicle models). Also in the works is an original soundtrack and campaign/story mode reveal!

Thank you all for your support.
Stay Metal 🤘
