Club Soko among many other rad games is in the #FlashGamesVibes Steam Fest until February 10th!

I’m stoked about this event because the game art and tone was partly made as a nod to my roots as a game dev coming up in the late Flash game era. 🖤

Publisher strongly suggested we start posting about Virtue and a Sledgehammer at least twice a week.

Would you be so kind as to share some stuff you'd like to see from this game? I need ideas for posts 🙃

For now, here's a screenshot of a plaza you'll find in the town of Virtud.

The game we are launching later today has:
- An alien orgy
- Full voice acting, including Alex Horne, Joel Fry and Ben Starr
- Many naughty words
- Fully animated like an Adult Swim cartoon
- Loads of willies

If you don't play it, you're probably an idiot?

One of the interesting things about working in a NPR art style is that many 'traditional' render features (like screen space ambient occlusion) can detract, rather than add to a visual direction.
