La idea de sacar un videojuego como promoción de un videojuego, y con ello aupar a quienes "vienen detrás", es tomarse en serio los videojuegos como debemos.

«Venga a nosotros tu reino.» Artist @lurnoise.bsky.social cooked something haunting for Virtue and a Sledgehammer's release. (Can't wait to release this short comic.)

Replying to @fingerspit.bsky.social

because we made a game that is fucking beautiful. and I'm incredibly proud of the work we've all put into it. it took two years and a half to make this game, and it wasn't easy at all, and still it was all worth it.

Jordi de Paco reposted

regarding the soundtrack of Virtue and a Sledgehammer; it won't be available to buy or stream at launch, but at a later date. what I can say about it for now, though: it's more than two hours and a half of music spread around over 50 tracks. can't believe we're finally so close to release the game!

I can finally share this a concept/illustration piece I did of the Baku Visor, a very important device in the past of the main character of Summer Eternal's upcoming game, Red Rooster.

Forgot to mention that this week’s Creative Bloq indie spotlight is Virtue and a Sledgehammer, a PS2-looking game with Unreal 5 destruction physics, and how Deconstructeam partnered with another studio to make a 3D game that still retains 2D influences www.creativebloq.com/features/how...
