Season's greetings, noble mop wielders! Another year is coming to a close, and with it a lot of work. It has been an unusually taxing year for us with some unexpected(aren't they always) set-backs, but we're finally taking our annual break to cool-off and refocus our efforts for next year. With the work put in so far, VCD 2 remains underway and is as ever nearing a solid early showcase version. So, here's a quick run-down of what's new and what's next. (It may not look like much has changed since last year, but it has...if not always visually) The New We've made significant improvements to the

Greetings, noble mop-warriors! Ten years. It has already been ten years to the day since the full release of Viscera Cleanup Detail. It feels like only yesterday (and yet so long ago at the same time), that we were putting the final touches on our crazy creation. To celebrate and honor this occasion, we'd like to take a moment to look back and reflect upon VCD's history. Thanks Be To Our Legendary Janitors But first, we want to profoundly thank all of you, our loyal fans and valiant janitors throughout the years. From the first free release of VCD on ModDB, your numbers have swelled, and we ha

Greetings, all! I hope everyone is well, and their mops freshly dipped. Feels like forever since the last update, so I thought I'd take some time to get everyone up to speed on what we've been up to since last year. There have been some exciting developments and additions for our eventual VCD 2 showcase. We don't want to reveal too much(as that's half the fun!), but even so there will be lots of juicy images and things here that you might like to rather experience for yourselves in time. So, if you're keen to avoid spoilers, then proceed mindfully. Some of you may have already seen a degree of

Greetings, noble mop-brigade! Another year draws to a close, like the airlock doors on your fellow janitors; with much kicking and screaming. And we're one step closer to a getting something juicy into your eagerly waiting gloved hands. Before we take a much needed break, we'd just like to say thank you to you all, and wish you an amazing Christmas and holidays*! *Aerospace Sanitation does not condone the rampant exploitation of holidays for personal gain; work is worth, work is life**, work is you. **Aerospace Executives are exempt from mandatory work orders under section 7:A of the company e

Greetings, all! ːvcdmopː With the new year already well underway, we wanted to share with you a little bit more of what we're up to and give you an early look at some of the design changes and vision we're going for in VCD 2 ahead of the showcase. We're confident that we have more than enough material for a sequel and lots of interesting improvements to add. While it's going to be a very long road, we are now confident we can achieve it in the more modern Unreal Engine, rather than just a simple port of the original. A port of the original levels will benefit from its development in one form o

Greetings hard-working interplanetary sanitizers! As we bring things to a close this year, we'd just like to take this moment to thank everyone for their continued support, and wish you all an amazing holiday. When one is stuck in the reeds, it's often difficult to come up for air and post updates. But one thing that always strikes us is your loyal support(even when we're dreadfully silent), and the great many of you who keep this community strong. Not to mention that one of our favorite activities is to browse your many screenshots, artwork and workshop creations. You guys are great, so here'

Greetings, noble janitors! ːvcdjanitorː With only five days left, my fellow Janitors have asked me(under threat of hazing) to inform you that time is running out to claim their limited edition Bob Plush! I've been instructed to inform you as well, that anyone seen sporting this fine fellow is sure to be causing some sleepless nights for Aerospace Sanitation! That in and of itself is a fine bonus if I say so myself! If you're still not sure if you want to stick it to the higher ups, then take another look at Bob's endearing puppy-dog eyes and tell me that's not the face of a hero worthy of a se

Greetings all! As we work our way towards a showcase of what we've been up to with VCD and UE4, we wanted to take the time to give you guys another little bit of physical VCD merch you can decorate your headquarters with! To that end, we come with some exciting news from the custodial underground. One of our number has begun producing Limited Edition Bob plushies in clear contradiction of Aerospace Sanitation mandates! If you wish to show your support for Bob and the 'cause', then be sure to do your part and head on over to Makeship to order yours! If the campaign is fully funded, you'll then

Greetings custodial crusaders! ːvcdjanitorː We thought we'd take some time to give you an exciting update on how things are progressing with VCD's UE4/5 future, lift the curtain of secrecy somewhat, and reveal something new! Progress has been consistent, but we're still climbing a mountain. At present we have incorporated most of the fundamental mechanics(and while they are still rough drafts), they are largely just lacking a nice shiny coat of content to dress up their appearance. This includes: Tools (Bins, Buckets, Mop, Broom, Welder, Shovel) Decals(Blood Splats, bullet holes, etc) Sounds(S

A fine day to you all, noble janitors! Although we've been quiet(a shocker, I know ːsteammockingː), we've also been very busy! While we were certainly hampered in our work for months on end due to endless rolling blackouts in the country as well as failing backup solutions, we've been getting closer and closer to an end goal. So despite it all, we have made some progress! Our other secret project is continuing to see revisions and refinements, and is going well, our estimates for when it'll be ready for a public audience have unfortunately all proven to be quite optimistic given the circumstan

A fine holiday greetings to you all, custodians! I trust those stations are being kept clean, and that you're all well? This year seems to have gone-by in a blur, so we thought we'd take a moment to let you all know what's been happening since this same time last year. Between countless disruptions making any steady work a challenge, we've been making reasonable progress on our two main focuses: VCD in UE4 and the 'Other Project' We also partnered with Makeship in July to create a limited edition janitor plushie, which was a successful foray into merch, and it was good to have something physic

A fine day to all custodians! ːvcdjanitorː Aerospace Sanitation would like to inform you that you only have a few days left to claim their limited edition Janitor Plush! I've been instructed to inform you as well, that workers seen to be showing company spirit around the workplace will be "bumped-down the termination list". I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds nice! If you're still undecided, then you have just under a week left to pick up your very own soft doppelganger. Be sure to head over to the Makeship page to claim yours! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5859810/e651688eb5875661f3a9a7f466fbd04

Greetings, workers! Aerospace Sanitation is pleased to announce that thanks to your support, our Limited Edition Janitor Plush has just crossed the funding threshold and as such is now officially going into production! So you can all look forward to having the little bugger in your gloved hands in no time, and be able to put him to work around your own home "space-station"! Caution: Worker performance may vary as we are still unable to remove all personality from our subjects. If yours should prove defective, submit them for reeducation at once! Thank you for all the incredible support, everyo

Greetings, noble custodians! ːvcdjanitorː Our Limited Edition Janitor Plush is now available for purchase! Be sure to head on over to Makeship and purchase yours! If the campaign is fully funded, you'll then be receiving your very own plush custodian in no time! It's on sale now for $27.99, and the first 200 buyers will also get a free Steam key for VCD to keep or gift as they please! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5859810/cdf354f2a5822b165edb95ea267095c96a7d9bae.png

Greetings hard-working(and not so hard-working) swabs! Very soon you'll be able to get your rubber-gloved hands on your very own Janitor Plush! As mentioned before, this is out first foray into Merch, and so we (and administration) have partnered with Makeship to ease most of the challenges involved. Aerospace Sanitation prizes itself on efficiency. :vcdmop: Behold, we present to you the living embodiment of the oft-forgotten space-station working class! :vcdjanitor: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5859810/d0f2e09ad51b8c0342f5db1cd7ebfb454b2408db.jpg As you can see, despite his somewhat cute appearance, Ae
