I hope you all were able to catch last week's SSF2 livestream at Apex! If not, you can watch Day 2 and 3 on the McLeodGaming Twitch channel, or you can wait for selective clips from all 3 days to be uploaded to the MG Youtube account.

I'd like to take this time to personally thank all of the devs who joined me at the event to help out, so shout out to Tid, ElvisDitto, Void, Xyless, TSON, Zero Insanity, Sirtopeia, Crabby, Froggy, Ya Dad, Drip, and a special thanks to everyone who played the game at the event! We definitely hope to return next year!

-Newcomer Chibi Robo joins the fray!

v0.9b Status:

And now what you've all been waiting for, information regarding the next installment of SSF2 nicknamed "v0.9b". For starters, I'm excited to announce today that over 9000 people have already pre-registered for McLeodGaming Network accounts! (Yes, that's over nine thousand...)



So many of you may be wondering "what is McLeodGaming Network?" Let me give you a brief overview:

McLeodGaming Network (or "MGN" for short) will be your ticket to play online multiplayer for games produced here at MG. The first game that will be utilizing MGN will be everyone's favorite of course, SSF2! The infrastructure for the user system isn't entirely completed yet, however I have plans to include features such as friends lists, messaging, stats-tracking, and more! You can expect it to make its debut once v0.9b is completed.

So where is v0.9b?

The SSF2 Dev team and I will be aiming for a release this March. There is still a decent amount of work that has to be done, especially with the high demand for MGN accounts to prepare for. So the team and I will be working hard on the game and MGN throughout the next month so that we can bring you guys the best experience possible. So have patience and it'll be here before you know it! In the meantime, we'll have other information to share with you guys to help ease the wait, so make sure you keep an eye on the MG front page as well as the MG Facebook and Twitter for more!

Alright then. All is good. Now I can catch up with my challenges on the forums.

Take your time
Just make sure it's bug free and complete!

What he said.

"Perfection takes patience."

Super excited for 0.9b.

Thanks for doing what you're doing.

Since January is done this week, 0.9b will be out in about a month. That's a good time frame to fine tune things.

Nobody said early March buddy

lol nice meem cleod :')

I'm still not sure about that Silph Co stage but I'll reserve judgment until I've played it myself

remember everything you saw on stream was of an in-progress SSF2 build and is either incomplete or subject to change between now and the final release as well

I expect the demo to be released in mid March tbh. I probably should've said a little over a month, lol.

Cant wait for the release of v0.9b. You are doing an excelent job in this game

Well, at least it releases around my birthday March 25th.

That's part of it. The fact that I can't tell from watching other people play how well it flows in motion is the other part

Can't wait for March!
I'm very eager to play as Chibi Robo.

Superman-level hype!!!!!
