Hi everyone!
Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone for playing Anger Foot so far, for your feedback, and for your general enthusiasm. We're always very happy to see lots of people enjoying one of our games!

We'd also like to apologize for the rocky start, particularly in areas of choppy performance. It's always difficult to predict how things will go when a game is released to a large audience with wildly different PC specs, but we definitely should've done a fair bit more testing before launch.

In any case, we've started working on the first major performance patch, which is now playable on a beta branch. We'd still like to stress test this patch with whoever is interested in opting in.

Before you run the beta, please back up your progress in case you want to roll back. There's a chance new saves won't be compatible with the previous ones. To back up your files, go to the folder below and copy the content somewhere else.

• Right-click on the game in your library
  
• Properties
  
• Betas tab
  
• Select "openbeta" from the drop-down menu.

If you give it a try, we'd be grateful for any feedback on roughly how much of a difference it's made for you. Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet solution for the game's performance issues, but we'll keep working on it. We feel fairly confident that over time and with several patches, we can get the game running a lot better.

So, if you've been experiencing bad performance in the game and want to see how much this patch improves things, please opt into the Beta and give us your feedback.

Many thanks,
The Anger Foot Team

Anger Foot has been out for just 4 days, but it seems like an eternity of emotion. We are humbled by the reception and the incredible support you've all shown us leading up to and after the launch.

A massive thank you is in order to each and every one of you. Your enthusiasm and love for Anger Foot has truly knocked our socks off. We couldn't have gotten this far without you.

The weekend behind us was a wild one, and you can catch a glimpse of the euphoria inside of the studio in the latest Anger Foot VLOG available on YouTube now.

Moving forward, we're focusing on improving the experience. Anger Foot just got its first update, and more are on the way. We're looking into the performance issues some of you have mentioned and will be on the lookout for any and all other issues so we can address them as soon as possible. We'll keep you posted!

P.S. We have also set up a sweet bundle that pairs Anger Foot with the incredible Mullet Madjack. If you like Anger Foot, there's no doubt you'll love Madjack, too! Go grab it and secure 10% off if you don't own either of the two.

The road to launch was an exceptionally fun one for us. We poured our hearts, souls, and skeletons into making this world come to life.

Starting as a simple shooter game made as a Seven Day FPS [7dfps] jam prototype, Anger Foot grew into a game that we're incredibly proud of.

We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we did making it.

P.S. Just before launch, Anger Foot took his kicking door and bad attitude to the British seaside this week to fight seagulls and win the hearts of Develop attendees. See how it went below.

P.P.S. While you're waiting for it to download, why don't you prepare your feet for action by taking a glance at the game manual available on the right-hand side in your Steam library?
