The people have asked and we have delivered.

Today we published a set of trading cards for the Steam edition of Escape from Pleasure Planet. The set of eight cards use beautiful behind-the-scenes production artwork from the game and contain extra information about the characters and worlds in the game.

There are also five badges, including a special "Gayest Gamer of All Time" foil badge, as well as emoticons like ":gayspacecommunism:" and special profile backgrounds that you can unlock.

If you have already been playing the game, you should retroactively receive some cards.

It was fun to put these together and we hope you enjoy them.
