Facebook cover photos and some extra news
We're nearing the half way mark on our Kickstarter and we have a bit less than 10% to go! We are definitely on track to reach our goal. Keep on spreading the word!
Many of you have requested Facebook cover photos after our last update. Since the profile pictures seem to have been pretty popular, we have created three Facebook cover photos! We even have a new sketch by Jonathan Kim showcasing the Metal Wolf fight. You can either download the package or save them individually by right-clicking on them.
If you haven't noticed, Kickstarter has featured us on their blog! Jonathan Lavigne answered a few questions for them. You can also read his interview with games magazine games™ that was posted late last week.
Stay tuned for our next update later this week. Just to tease you guys a little bit, we're working on a new video showing off what we've been working on the past few weeks.

@Matthew Winter: Yup, that's it!

A Metal Wolf enemy? Is that a reference to Metal Wolf Chaos? If so, I love you.
Creator Vince Vazquez on August 29, 2012
The Metal Wolf tank makes me hopeful that you guys will have a Metal Slug enemy in the game too, in a not-so-subtle nod to the game that inspired Mercenary Kings the most. Man, I can't wait for this!

Creator Warren Bennett on August 28, 2012
Very cool. Since I'm doing a Mercenary Kings theme on my Facebook profile this week, I welcome these!
