Kickstarter looking likely :)
With 250+ votes saying they'll support a kickstarter, I'd say it's time to start planning a campaign :)

Need your input + updates!
A lot has been going on in the world of A Virus Named TOM, and we wanted to update you, and most importantly get some input!

VOTE HERE to let us know what features you'd like added to A Virus Named TOM. We're going to try kickstarting to add networking, level editor, or both! Please vote for features you'd be willing to help us kickstart.

Check out our PAX PRIME 2012 PHOTO ALBUM! We went to our first PAX, and had our first booth in the INDIE MEGABOOTH :) Thanks to those of you who stopped by to say hi. One pre-order-er even won a PSVita at our raffle, muahahahaha :) We also posted several of the interviews that Holly and I gave on our FACEBOOK PAGE (G4, Co-optimus, Indie Game Magazine, and Indie Game Reviewer).

For those interested in the process of making AVNT, I wrote an article about the adding co-op to the game that got picked up by CO-OPTIMUS and GAMASUTRA. I'm also currently doing more in-depth interviews and we plan on doing some AMAs (Ask Me Anything) with various members of the team (art, audio, development) on REDDIT soon.

As always, stay up to date with us on FACEBOOKand TWITTER and the like :)
Thanks for all your support!

400+ Members! Updates coming...
Wow, over 400 members! Thanks for joining us here and please let us know if there's something you'd like us to do in the group! It's our first Steam group so give us ideas.

Lots coming:

- We're going to be at PAX Prime (Seattle, WA Aug 31-Sep 2), both Holly and I will be showing off AVNT so if you're going please stop by our booth (#876 I think), more details to come.

- We're putting the soundtrack up on BandCamp as we speak, for those that have asked for friends that want the soundtrack but are not gamers. I'll post a link soon.

- I'm going to make a poll soon asking what updates you guys would want in the game if we kickstarted for some help adding them. Networking, level editor, and mac/linux ports will be on the list. Please comment if you think something else should be on the list.

- We've been getting lots of great reviews! I've been making a LIST of them all with scores & links if you want to take a peek.

- I just wrote an article on Co-optimus.com about adding co-op to AVNT, if you're curious you can check it out HERE

Thanks again for making this community awesome!
