A Virus Named Tom

Launch! And Free Soundtrack for Pre-order-ers
We Launched! WOAH! 25% for a week, tell your friends :)

Thanks for being a part of our group! If you pre-ordered, thank you SO MUCH for helping us. As a small thank you you'll find an email explaining that your Humble Store download page has a free soundtrack on it. We could not have done it without you!

Let us know what you think, and if there's anything you guys want us to do for the group :)

-Tim Keenan (very happy creator guy)

New Launch Trailer!
You can see it on YOUTUBE or on our WEBSITE. Basically a 'reboot' of our alpha trailer cuz that's what Hollywood tells me is cool.

Let us know what you think, little over a week till launch :)

High Score Contest deadline extended
Due to our mess up (the latest update caused the game to switch to the "demo" version by accident... though you can find a patch HERE) we're extending the deadline for the High Scores Contest 2 days to Tuesday July 24th at midnight!

Remember to send us links to your videos, either on the AVNT forum or send to info@misfitsattic.com.

Thanks, and sorry for the update mix up.

Latest update has "demo" mix up
The Bad:
We apologize, the latest update that just went out got mixed up with the demo build and it's unlikely that Valve techs will be back till Monday :
The not so bad:
We have a patch till then. Please see the FORUM POST for more details.

Sorry again!

Three days left, check out some High Score Contest Vids!
There's three days left on the high score contest and I've posted some of the videos you guys have been sending in HERE. Also check the forum POST for the latest!

Second, we've got a new update video coming and it'll launch a High Score Contest to get you name baked into the games leaderboards. I'm hoping for Monday, but if you want a sneak peak at what's new the new Steam beta just might already be uploaded ;)

- Better Vs Battle presets
- Crash fixes and less memory usage

Thanks again!

Penny Arcade! (+ launch delay)
OK, lame announcement maybe but we're pretty excited so we thought we'd share that Penny Arcade gave A Virus Named TOM some love!

Also, our release date has been pushed back to early August. As such we're taking some more time to QA and hope to release the final Beta update in the next week or two. When we do this we'll announce the contest levels as well.

Thanks!

Oops, TOM's not quite ready...
You may have noticed that A Virus Named TOM is showing up on the "New Releases". I think there's been a slight mix up, because we're still making sure TOM is ready for prime time (we've contacted Valve). We should have a final version of the Beta up for pre-order-ers (pre-order here) early next week along with the high score contest. Then AVNT should launch a week or two after that.

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for joining the group!

Achievements are Coming!
I said we'd do 20 achievements, but with all the fun suggestions we got we ended up with 43 ;) Take a sneak peak and check out Holly's awesome achievements icons! I knew having a wife that was a graphic designer would come in handy!

We're hoping to get out a final update to the Beta in about a week (then the final game to follow). Stay tuned!
