Hi, My other announcements have been in character. This one is not. Id 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. Ive 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 it as a demo and saying goodbye has been alluring. However now that the game has released and Ive had time to think Ive mulled over whatever could be next in store and Ive gathered up some ideas that are exciting enough to me to warrant a continuation of the series. So Id like to make it happen. ...Eventually. A little about me I made this game mostly on my own and released it right before finishing grad school. Whats next for me is a little uncertain at the moment. I dont even know where on the globe Im going to be living next month, much less what resources Ill have in the immediate future to start production on anything MetaWare related. So theres a lot of other stuff I need to work out until I can figure out how I would be able to make a full game happen. Good video games take a lot of time and resources and thats not something I have access to yet unfortunately. So it might be a bit before you see anything. Theres one thing I can promise you though: Im not gonna stop making games any time soon. What does the immediate future hold? Well, your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps the next project youll see from Not Fun Games might be something other than MetaWare. Or perhaps not. Well just have to both wait and see. Thank you all for the support so far. I had no idea what to expect when releasing the game. The positive response has already far exceeded what I was expecting, especially given the game has had almost zero marketing. It couldnt be more humbling. Thank you. Thats all. Until next time, Marc P.S. I lied, thats not all. There IS something new coming soon! Im going to be releasing some extra goodies that Im calling MetaWare High School (Demo) Special Features. It will include a Digital Art Book with commentary, unused music, and some other cool behind the scenes stuff. It will be sold for $9.99 or your regional equivalent. Itll come out...soon. Once I finish it. Any moment now...when you least expect it...

Each character was assigned to give a statement to be posted on this store page. Their responses are below:
CHRIS: Hello! I’m so excited that you’re considering playing our game! I'll tell you as much as I can. So we're actually not the full game. We're the demo! No one knows if the real game is out yet or not, or what genre we're really supposed to be....it's kind of confusing. But that's just fine, I guess! Anyway, I suppose it's already been determined where you'll be going and what kinds of things you might be doing? I hope I get to actually meet you later. I've really been looking forward to it! Have a nice day!
HOPE: hey if u get any choices that lead u to a mochi store go there thats where the cool ppl in the game r if you dont youll probably lose ok bye
ASPEN: Hey YOU! Yeah, YOU! Wanna chat it up with some cute girls? (And a super cute non-binary person?) Then you've definitely found the right game! We're not like those other inferior dating simulators. We have the advantage of knowing who, how, why, and what we truly are! Well, uh...mostly. That's where you come in! You can be the one to tell us once and for all what we're really doing here! And with the help of your good buddy Aspen, we'll ensure that this game gets its best ending! Our fate rests upon your shoulders, O wise player!
NARI: [Declined to give a statement.]
ISADORA: WHAT?!??! MY QUOTE IS GOING TO BE LAST????? THAT'S NO FAIR!!! YOU SHOULD CHANGE IT SO THAT I'M, LIKE, AT LEAST SECOND? OR THIRD?!?!!? LAST IS SO STUPID!!!!!! NARI DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING AND SHE'S NOT EVEN LAST!!!!! Mine is probably gonna be HIDDEN by that STUPID READ MORE BUTTON NOW!!!!! UUUUUGGGGGGGGGGG (...wait so what exactly should I say then? ...oh, ok.) Hi! I'm Isadora, and...uh... (Oh, whatever, this is so stupid! Was that enough? Can I go now?)
A NOTE FROM THE CREATOR
Hello. I am the Creator. I created this Visual Novel's script, code, and music.
The game runs in the RenPy engine and is formatted as a visual novel. Occasionally you will choose what to say by selecting a dialogue box. There are multiple endings. It takes around 2-3 hours to complete everything.
It is recommended that players are at least 12 years or older. The game contains strong language and the discussion of heavy topics. There are no shock imagery or jump scares.
The complete soundtrack and a collection of extra content featuring an art book, developer commentary, unused music, and a playable early prototype are available for purchase as DLC.
Thank you to SparkBag, Keeby, and Alexander A. McDonald for creating the majority of the visual assets.
Please enjoy.
