Since people often say we’re not transparent despite me writing almost daily in our dev log site, and baring our souls naked in heart-wrenching blog posts, I’ll do an honest-to-god attempt at getting folks up to speed with what we’re doing.

Hell yeah!
This game changed the lives of a bunch of people all over the world, gave this team an audience and all the cool things needed to make more games in the future. For that, we will forever be grateful.
Not gonna lie, I’m not good with anniversaries. Doesn’t help I’m way too excited about our current projects to reminisce too much about Va11halla, but I still love it to bits. I love your fan art, the experiences you tell us via email, literally anything you do with our lil’ game is blessed because it was made from a place of love.
I’m still disappointed I couldn’t achieve my goal of a new cool game every two years after Va11halla, but that’s alright. Shit happened, lots of it, but as long as I’m alive I’ll be able to learn and improve as much as I need to make that possible. Too many ideas, too many characters, too many stories that need to be told and I’ll do my best to make all of them happen!
Let’s fill this world with badass cuties!
While we didn’t exactly plan anything special for this anniversary (again, I’m not good with those), Garoad (the man behind the God Tier soundtrack) along with fabulous artist Aurahack and Black Screen Records have prepared a very special full release of the game’s music in Vinyl. Features every song in the game plus extras and goodies. Just look at that beautiful artwork. Jesus Christ.
I’m sure it’s gonna be gone by the time you read this, but here it is anyway.
Now I’m back to work. Games need to be made.
I like to think everyone knows we love to support fan content… perhaps maybe a bit too much. Our twitter feed is essentially a never-ending stream of all kinds of fan creations, and we actively seek for untagged artwork to share with everyone. Like a child who just learned how to stand on their hands and wants to show mom and anyone who will pay attention this newly found skill.
It’s not weird, I think, to be like this. After all, before we made that game our previous attempts at gaining a big audience sort of failed when it came to actual game projects. This means we don’t take for granted what we have, so we give back to the community by sharing their creations inspired by our work.
One type of content is easy to miss, though, since you can’t just look at it and finish your engagement with it then and there. You have to click a lil bit, perhaps download a file and then actually experience it.
I’m talking of course about video games. More specifically those inspired by VA-11 Hall-A.
The following is a collection of things we’ve found over the years. If you’re a dev and I forgot, or didn’t know about a game you made that should be on this list please feel free to get in touch.
