Hi dear community!

Today is a great day, since Blocks That Matter gets its demo LIVE on Steam!

The bad news: when you already own the full game, the "Download Demo" button will not work :(

If you uninstall the game, the "Download Demo" button will work... but it will install the FULL game insteand of the Demo :(

The only way to play the Demo on Steam for now is to have an account that didn't own Blocks That Matter.

However, since the demo installs itself in a "blocks that matter demo", you didn't have to fear about save data loss :)

We will see with Steam crew if there is a way to allow you to install this Demo next to the full version, because this demo includes:

- Custom introduction and dialog
- 6 tutorials levels
- 3 levels taken from the full game
- 1 ending level
- 1 bonus level
- 9 of the 17 tracks!
- 4 EXCLUSIVES BTMs to unlock!


For those who already own the full game on Steam and want to play the demo, you can go to our FTP:

http://swingswingsubmarine.com/BTMdemo/

and download one of the following archive file:
- Blocks_That_Matter_Demo_Win_1_0_0_4.zip
- Blocks_That_Matter_Demo_Mac_1_0_0_4.zip
- Blocks_That_Matter_Demo_Linux_1_0_0_4.zip


Thanks for spreading the word!

Have a nice game!

Hi everyone!

Just to say that some of you reported us an issue with the community levels sorting.

In the "All" tab, the levels should be stored by release date, so the new levels should be displayed first... but that's not the case right now!

We are working to solve this issue!

We don't know if it will fixable on the server side (no game update required) or if we need to bring a game update.


Thanks for your precious help!

Hi!

The update 1.0.0.4 should be live on every Steam client, and with it the fix to the annoying drill bug I introduced in the last version thanks to my dumbness.

Here is the complete changlog for this version:

CHANGES BROUGHT BY 1.0.0.4:

>> BUG FIXES

- bugfix: the robot not correctly upgraded, unable to drill the last material for the current upgrade.
- "Big Mama is Proud of you" achievement not triggered on the right time. So it will be deleted and recreated.
- MacOS Leopard can launch the game without Steam services support (instead of crashing). Prevent for manual config file tweaking.
- Typos
- Upgraders i Community levels: sometimes an autokill was needed in order to display needed material correclty

>> FEATURES

- Dialogs.xml file can be used to write some dialog in an easier way than in editor. See "CreatorHelperDatas/NOTE on Dialogs.xml.txt" for more infos.
- btm.png file can be used to display a custom BTM at the end of a level. See "CreatorHelperDatas/NOTE on btm.png.txt" for more infos. Levels made with this feature will need an approval from us.

Thanks again for your support, patience and time with us!
