Hail, mighty gladiators!
 

 
I bring good tidings, we’ve released Rooks Keep good and proper out of Steam Early Access and into the main fray of the Steam arena. Still only $14.99, so be sure to check it out if you like swords and decapitation, and lets face it, who doesn’t?
 

-Buy from here-
 
-Or Buy on Steam-
 

 

We’re currently working on getting Steam Workshop setup for it and for Viscera Cleanup Detail, so that should follow soon, or early next year.
 

Until then, keep hacking apart the traditional sacks of meat that wander about the arenas!

A bring (late)news of the most fantastical! Viscera Cleanup Detail is now out on Steam Early Access, version 0.25 no less, for $8.00!
 

With this update comes 2 new maps, a redesigned punch-out system, various fixes, Multiplayer networking through Steam, DEAD WORKERS!!
 

If you have already bought the game through the Humble Widget on our site, Humble Store, or any other bundles, you will have received a Steam key.
Also, anyone who has bought Santa’s Rampage on Steam already will receive a discount!
 
Furthermore, purchasing this version on Steam Early Access also gives you a Steam key to the Santa’s Rampage AND Shadow Warrior spin-offs.
 
 

Here is the general list of changes:

-Steam networking: now you can connect through Steam to friend games using a list on the Main Menu.
-New “Waste Disposal”(Sewer) map
-New “Caduceus” map
-The newly added Janitor Office
-Redesigned punch-out system, far more interesting now!…also makes punching-out a no return choice.
-Glorious dead worker bodies to clean up. Extra creepy worker bodies mind you.
-Movable and burnable body-bags!
-Many glorious fixes and improvements.
-Mad writings intended to destroy your mind!

 
And in-case you are somehow foolish enough to not be interested, we’ve got you covered…in blood.
 

 
 

 
And that’s that for now, Mr.Waddles clocking-off!

I come with good tidings, after a long wait in the void between death and undeath, we bring you a glorious update.
 

Recent advances in janitor based technology, due in no small part to the research done by the company’s mining department, have resulted in a new, overpowered and potentially destructive device for use by all janitors with the aim of repairing bullet hole dotted walls.
 

The new Welding Laser will allow janitors to not only patch bullet holes, but also make new holes! Modern technology eh, wondrous stuff. Janitors are required to safely follow company regulations, and not burn everything in sight once the evil machine spirits have possessed you.
 
 

The game now also features the much desired Save Game system! No longer will janitors have to be oppressed. They can eat a cheese burger or burrito along with their Jingo-Pop, and management will be none the wiser…unless they leave evidence, which would be rather stupid of you.
 

This version also comes with a great deal more fixes and improvements!
See for yourself!

And why not a few tasty images to correct your mind.

Attention all workers, the station has been infected with a new and improved organism in the mock form of an alpha update, if you see it, alert security immediately. Do not be fooled by its innocent appearance, it is deadly!

Yes, well with that departure from normal proceedings out of the way, let’s list a run down of the major changes in this build.

Firstly we’ve taken big steps to improve the multiplayer syncing, and it’s running much much smoother now.
We have also reduced the chances of things ever falling out of the world and being unreachable.
 
Mops now clean up multiple splats at once, and they don’t disappear instantly.
Also in this update we see the punchout machine not only properly working, but also with a new mesh and interactive UI.

And many more things, here is the full changelog:

-Numerous fixes and improvements to debris replication and syncing in multiplayer
-Added blood footstep sound
-Improve hold distance and handling of horrid metal sheets and other objects

We are also still working hard on the med-bay, many new features currently working or being worked on will present themselves once the Med-Bay is operational, this will feature a more specific focus and increase of current VCD mechanics. Until then, clean on noble latex-warriors!
