Superfluous joins the Marvel team

Negotiations had been going on for several months in the greatest secrecy. It's now a done deal, and it's not without a certain pride that I announce today the integration of my Superfluous character into the great Marvel superhero family! Full details on the official Ptilouk.net Studios website!

Superfluous Returnz on Nintendo Switch!

It is with great pride that I announce the release, today, of the first official port of Superfluous Returnz on console, and not the least: the Nintendo Switch! I have to admit that if someone had told me, as a kid in the 90s playing the Nintendo 64, that one day I'd be releasing a game on the latest Nintendo console... Maybe it's stupid, but I must admit I'm a bit emotional :) For the moment, there's no web page to buy the game from your computer (it'll come, apparently it may take a little time) but you can find it directly in your console's eShop. The port obviously includes the gamepad mode available on other platforms (and the content is the same as on other platforms). Now's the time to convince your friends who only play on Nintendo Switch to enter the fabulous (and slightly absurd, yes) world of Superfluous Returnz! Note: the Nintendo Switch version is available in Europe, America and Australia/New Zealand. Depending on your region, you may have to wait a few more hours for the title to appear on the eShop.

The Steam Awards have begun, and if you've enjoyed playing Superfluous Returnz, don't forget to nominate the game in the Outstanding Story-Rich Game Award category! To mark the occasion, we're giving away a 20% discount on the game, which you can also take advantage of on the Deluxe Edition. So if your loved ones haven't got the game yet, now's the time to tell them to do so! See you soon for new adventures...

Artbook, Comic Book and Deluxe Edition

Superfluous Returnz Artbook


I've been working on it for several weeks now, and it's finally finished: the Superfluous Riteurnz Artbook! You'll find every location, every character, every cutscene, every animation detailed frame by frame, and much more. All with my commentary, in English and French! This book is available:

Superfluous, the Comic Book


This was another job I'd been wanting to do for a long time: translating the French comic book Les aventures inutiles de Superflu into English. The translation is called The Unnecessary Adventures of Superfluous, and you can see it as a sort of prequel to the game: how Harpagon Lonion became Superfluous, how Sophie came to work for him, etc. You don't have to read it to understand the game, but it's a nice bonus. This book is available:

Superfluous Returnz Deluxe


Don't get carried away: there's nothing new in the game! This Deluxe edition is simply a Steam bundle that contains:
  • the video game Superfluous Returnz ;
  • the Artbook & Comic Book DLC;
  • the Soundtrack DLC.
In short, everything you can buy on Steam, with a small 10% discount. See you soon for new adventures!

The game is now available in Italian!

I'm proud to announce that Superfluous Returnz is now available in Italian, under the name Superfluo Ritorns! As the game is set in a small French village, I think it's great that it's been translated into another European language, and I hope that players in Italy will appreciate the familiar atmosphere :) A huge thank you to Miranda Miri Clarke who spontaneously offered to translate the game, which is no mean feat (over 2300 lines of dialogue, after all).

The game's soundtrack is available

You can freely listen to the game's soundtrack on Peertube (and soon on YouTube, the upload is in progress but YouTube has certain limitations so it takes a while). And if you want, you can also buy it as DLC on Steam, in FLAC and MP3 formats. So yes, the album title uses the English version of the title (Superfluous Returnz) and the track titles are in French: why make it simple when you can make it complicated? I liked the idea of keeping the French touch for the titles, while using the international name for the soundtrack. Not that it changes much, the music remains the same... Happy listening, and see you soon for new adventures!

The game now has Steam achievements!

Little announcement: there are now Steam achievements in the game! So yes, if you've already played the game, you'll have to play it again to unlock these achievements. I apologize for that, I didn't plan to put any in the first place. Have fun and see you soon for new adventures!
