We’re launching Tango fIesta out of Early Access on the 24th September. That’s less than two weeks away! ARGH!

To celebrate, we’ve done a few things…

We’ve just fired an update to the game for you live. It’s likely to be the penultimate update before we go full v1.0. The usual changelist with full details is below, but basically it’s way prettier and way more fun, plus the online is a TON more stable. We’re still keeping the story, steam workshop and final world/enemies/traps/weapons/boss back for launch though. Sorry!

- We’ll be taking Tango Fiesta to EGX in Birmingham, UK. We were born there two years ago in a game jam, and it’s wonderful to be able to come full circle with the game and showing it there one last time! Here's the site for the full lowdown: https://www.egx.net/egx

- We’ll also be launching Tango Fiesta 1.0 LIVE from the show! I hope to update you all with the link, but it should be getting streamed live right here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCejV0ECovLMARGaPwzaRoOA) for those who can’t attend. It’ll be at the end of a fun talk we’re doing all about the game’s development.

- We’ve also launched a free game call The Legend Of Tango, which is out right now and you can get it here. It that tells the story of how the game was born in the Rezzed game jam all those years ago, but via the medium of a comedy JRPG. Please do have a play and rate it if you like it!
