    Make Your Own Hit — MR. RECORDS Demo Drops Music Level Editor for Steam Next Fest

    Your music. Your beats. Your world. Wired Productions and Glee-Cheese Studio have cranked the volume all the way up for MR. RECORDS this Steam Next Fest, releasing a major demo update that gives players the power to build, customise, and play their very own rhythm levels — from scratch.

    It’s not just about playing the records anymore — now you get to make them.

    What Is MR. RECORDS?

    MR. RECORDS is a heartfelt rhythm-adventure about George, a man who finally chases his lifelong dream of opening his very own record shop. Every album he spins transforms into a fully playable journey — surreal dream worlds where you run, jump, slide, and dodge in perfect sync with the music. The game weaves together original styles — funk, rock, hip-hop, electro, world music, 80s pop — with a tender story about memory, regret, connection, and the redemptive power of music.

    Now You’re in Control — The Music Level Editor

    The big news: the Music Level Editor is live right now in the updated Steam demo. Here’s what you can do:

    • Build from the Beat Up — Place notes, obstacles, and effects along a music timeline, then jump straight in and play your creation
    • Style Everything — Customise colours, animations, backgrounds, and visual assets to match the vibe
    • Your Tracks, Your Tempo — On PC, import your own music, and the editor generates gameplay synced to every beat
    • Share the Vibe — Send your custom levels to friends or the wider community, and play what others have made
    • Coming to All Platforms — The editor will be included in every version of the full game: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Note: custom music import and sharing are PC-only

    How It Fits Into the Game

    The editor isn’t just a side mode — it’s an extension of MR. RECORDS’ entire philosophy: music is personal, and everyone has a story to tell. Whether you want to craft a precision challenge, a dreamy visual journey, or just turn your favourite track into something you can run through, the tools are there. Build something gentle and melodic, something fast and chaotic — or anything in between.

    What’s in the Demo?

    The updated Steam Next Fest demo includes:

    • The full original opening sequence and handcrafted levels
    • The complete Music Level Editor suite
    • Access to community-shared levels
    • A taste of George’s shop, his story, and the 7+ original musical journeys in the base game

  • Unleash Your Inner Architect: Dive into the GRAVELORD Level Editor!

    Unleash Your Inner Architect: Dive into the GRAVELORD Level Editor!

    If you’ve been blasting through the hellish, secret-laden levels of GRAVELORD, the retro “boomer shooter” from Fatbot Games, you already know the intoxicating mix of fast-paced action and intricate level design it offers. But what if you could put your own stamp on the world of Queedo the Gravedigger?

    Well, now you can! The GRAVELORD Level Editor is officially live, inviting players to go from being a slayer of darkness to a creator of it. This isn’t just a simple map maker—it’s the very same TrenchBroom-inspired tool that the developers and veteran Quake mappers used to build the game’s official episodes.

    Why the GRAVELORD Editor is a Game-Changer

    Inspired by classic FPS mapping tools, the GRAVELORD editor manages to be both powerful for veterans and approachable for newcomers. The team at Fatbot Games has prioritized a rapid, creative, block-based workflow, making the journey from a simple idea to a fully realized, functional level surprisingly swift.

    • TrenchBroom-Inspired Workflow: If you have experience with older FPS editors like those for Quake, you’ll feel right at home. The block-based geometry tools are intuitive and built for speed, allowing you to rapidly sculpt your level’s structure.
    • “Hotspotting” for Quick Art: One of the editor’s unique features is “hotspotting” functionality. This genius feature allows for quick texturing and detailing, turning your basic blockouts into atmospheric, arted spaces without getting bogged down in tedious asset placement.
    • Spectral Surface & Breakable Integration: Level design in GRAVELORD relies heavily on the Spectral Shovel dash and traversal. The editor lets you easily implement GRAVELORD’s unique mechanics, like creating spectral surfaces for movement shortcuts or setting up breakables to create dynamic combat and platforming scenarios.
    • Scripting Freedom: Want a monster closet that only opens after a specific puzzle is solved? Need a complicated puzzle sequence? The built-in Scriptbox allows for scripting levels to your exact specifications, from simple triggers to complex, overarching mechanics.

    Join the Community & Start Creating

    The best part of an accessible level editor is the community content it fosters. Fatbot Games has fully integrated the editor with the Steam Workshop.

    This means sharing your creations is effortless, and exploring new community-made levels and even entire custom episodes is just a click away. The editor ensures a quick and seamless transition between the editing view and an instant playtest within the game, so you can rapidly iterate on your design.

    To celebrate the launch and encourage new talent, Fatbot Games has even hosted Map Jams with cash prizes—a fantastic incentive for both seasoned designers and those dipping their toes into level creation for the first time.

    If you love the challenging, secret-filled level design of classic ’90s shooters, the GRAVELORD Level Editor is your chance to stop just playing the game and start making the game. Grab your virtual shovel and start digging your way to level design glory!

    Ready to Build?

    The GRAVELORD Level Editor is included with the game’s Early Access version on Steam. Will you create a punishing death trap or a beautifully intricate, secret-filled labyrinth?
