If any of you have been wondering what our 2nd title is going to be, please help us decide! GO HERE and vote for any of our prototypes that you'd be willing to Kickstart (sadly we don't have enough $ to self fund a second title). On that site is a video to pitch you our 3 prototypes in 40 seconds each. We're just trying to get a gauge on which games you're interested in so please take a few minutes to go vote (if you wanna discuss you can leave comments below). The possible Kickstarter won't be for a few months as we prep for it. I apologize that this isn't exactly AVNT related but thought you guys would want to be involved in what's next. We're finishing up our port to PS Vita and hope to have it out in early 2014 :)

Go HERE, grab an avatar and friend us HERE so we can see :) Thank you so much to the 20+ entries. For more details check out the contest & entries HERE! And stay tuned for Holiday DLC next week!

We've got over 20 amazingly decorated TOMs from you guys, and now we have to pick which ones we use, vote HERE!

CLICK HERE for full, pretty version. Well it's holiday time, and we're getting ready to launch our holiday DLC! The only problem is that TOM is still rockin his Movember mustache in December... We need your help. We want to replace all the avatar images of TOM with holiday ones, but can't decide how. Below are our current four steam avatars (w/transparent BG's). Take them, and infect them with holiday cheer! Then send them back to us and we'll put them up for a vote. The top four will not only be our Steam avatars for the holidays, but the mad scientists that created them will get a holiday gift: their pick from any item of schwag on our cafe press store. How to submit?

• Tweet it out ending the tweet with @MisfitsAttic #HolidayVirus
• Post it to our Facebook page
• Email us at contest@MisfitsAttic.com

CLICK HERE for the prettier version (with cool AVNT Big Picture image) It takes 2 to spread a virus... 2-4 that is. With Steam Big Picture launching today A Virus Named TOM is a whopping 75% off. Why so much? To celebrate being played the way it was intended: with friends of questionable morals over for a couch co-op session, causing mayhem throughout the City of Tomorrow! But don't get the wrong impression. While it is cooperative, we mean that in the loosest sense possible. Sure you need to work together to infect the city, but no one said you couldn't get achievements for killing your teammates, or that you shouldn't rub it in their face when the results screen shows you solved most of the puzzle or took out the most drones, while they acted like some scared little email virus. Doubt our cooperative nougaty center? See what reviewers had to say about it: "...the best feature of the game is its cooperative gameplay – which should say something considering the magnificence of the single-player game." - Co-optimus.com “The most addictive co-op game we’ve played since Portal 2.” – MMGN.com "Failing a puzzle in single-player mode is upsetting, but when you can blame at least half of the loss on another person (preferably one whom you care about deeply), it's much more enjoyable." - Joystiq "Getting angry at a friend because he doesn’t see the solution as clearly as you is always fun and allows for some really entertaining moments." - GamesRetrospect "While playing through the co-op levels with a friend, I couldn’t help but think about Portal 2’s co-op experience...If you’re looking for an engaging puzzler this one is a no-brainer, but if you’ve got a friend you can play co-op locally, it is a must buy" - Internet Freaks “Friendships will be destroyed, but I’m sure that’s all part of Dr. X’s diabolical plan.” - TruePCGaming even more reviews HERE The heads of robot dogs will fill the streets, teleporters shall send different body parts to different zip codes, Muahahahaha!

We just updated the A Virus Named TOM demo to show off more mechanics. If you haven't played AVNT, give the demo a try and let us know what you think!

TOM's finally getting into Movember! He's only 4 months old, takes a while to grow a mustache. Grab the Steam Avatar here: http://steamcommunity.com/games/aVirusNamedTom/Avatar/Preview/4
