Meat Engine Demo Anniversary Year 2 Update

Message to the community:

My deepest thanks to everyone who has played the game! Without your feedback and playtesting the game would have never come as far as it has! Its been a long journey to finish Meat Engine, I'm hoping to get the game out this year! Work on the final level and boss and underway and will hopefully not take too long. I'm trying to keep my ear to the ground as your feedback in the final stages of development will be crucial. And yes i do believe the project is going into its final stages, the final level and boss are the main pieces of content left to do.

I still have plans to possibly redo the model for the rail gun and tweak a bunch of the existing levels to improve their quality. Sadly this update isn't insanely big as most of the work I'm doing now is levels outside of the demo, that being said i hope you enjoy the update! I'd love to hear your feedback!

Keep your eyes on the playtest! E1M7 and E1M8 might be available for testing in that build when the time comes. Playtesting is coming soon for E1M3 and E1M4.
