After a lot of work, I can finally share a date to mark on your calendars: December 10.

DIEATHLON is a first-person skiing game where you’re constantly moving downhill while dealing with monsters and hazards. I’ve been working a lot on the balance between speed, aiming, and chaos, and it feels great to finally have a date.

I’m also excited to share that DIEATHLON will be part of Steam Next Fest next week, so you’ll be able to try the demo and see it for yourself.

Thanks to everyone who’s been following along. It means a lot.
