There's this YouTube comment on the music video of Goodie Bag by Still Woosy that's been stuck in my head: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37112586/4b07d2e197c86d92cd1fddab44463fb4a4642d6e.png Yeah, they do. Fresh Gen X looking 20 year-olds in colorful 90s throwback fits chill out and groove in a hazy warm California, dancing like they're in an ironic but genuine A24 take on the dance party ending you see in animated blockbusters. I'd believe you if you said that they were just some of his friends who just happened to be around that day. But they don't feel like real people. These colorful dancing smiling

Reimplementation of an Endgame Event The main new change in this update is a safer and more reliable implementation of (spoilers for the end of the game): the game's final delete functionality. Previously, in order to delete the game, the game would first check if the game's parent directory was named what the game expected, and if so, delete the entire directory. In the new implementation, the game instead references a hard coded list of all files of the base game and deletes each file individually. This ensures that only game files will be deleted and not other files such as mods or other da

MetaWare High School (Demo) has been given a minor longevity update. The following changes have been made: Minor corrections of unintentional typos, animations, and game logic. A tweak regarding how voice blips were loaded into memory that should greatly improve performance. Fixed a rare crash that could occur if no player name was set. Clarification of a joke regarding eyes in the mochi store route. A subtle acknowledgment of the Steam Achievement in-game by Nari in the "Rude Route" (Steam version only). - The Creator

Hi everyone! Aspen here. The Creator just informed me that the Steam Store has started an award nomination process that you can participate in! So I implore you: please nominate MetaWare High School (Demo) for "Best Demo!" I imagine this will be no contest. I mean, of COURSE there can't be a better demo than us that was released this year, right? Out game isn't perfect, but I think it's pretty darn good if I say so myself! Perhaps this whole setup might be unfair to the other demos...I kind of feel bad for them! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37112586/83ca602c5ca02699f5fe1cdd640db9e0e85e15be.png All the b

Hi, My other announcements have been in character. This one is not. I’d like to answer some questions that some players who have finished MetaWare High School (Demo) might have. First off: Q: Is this really a Demo? A: Yes and No. It is a complete self-contained experience and also a prototype of many underdeveloped ideas. Q: Will there be more MetaWare? A: Yes. Q: When? A: I have no idea. I’ve actually been undecided whether or not I should actually make a “full game” and continue the series. MetaWare turned out to be a story about endings. So leaving its continuation ambiguous by abandoning i

Hello! This is Aspen, coming to you with a progress report! The game has just been updated for, according to this document here, reads: "small performance updates". Our world has now become even more perfect for you! Especially for "more powerful systems!" Haha! Of course, only the MOST powerful systems can run our world! It also says here that there is no new content. Hmph. How disappointing. I would have loved an expansion to our world, but I suppose you cannot expect more content to be added to a demo...such is life! By the way, the Creator allowed me a brief glimpse into your reality and I

Hello, This is the Creator. Unfortunately, you have been somewhat deceived. The last update that was made to the game this morning was not made by me. A version of Hope that we recently created to live outside the game and communicate to fans directly had attempted to patch the game and did so very poorly claiming that she was speaking on my behalf. She attempted to edit the game for her own purposes and posted an update without my consent resulting in some of the game to become broken. As a result, we believe that many players may have missed key content in the game. If you played the game an
