Miho inside of giant fish from SOPA - Tale of the Stolen Potato.

This was one of the earliest concept art pieces for SOPA. It was one of the initial ideas that never made it into the final game, but really got us inspired about the direction that the project was taking.

Want to see more of the behind the scenes work that goes into making a game?

SOPA - Tale of the Stolen Potato Featured on RockPaperShotgun

Having grown up as an avid gamer, I recall a friend sending me an odd link back in 2009. It was an odd article about an odd game titled Gravity Bone. It led to an odd site by the name of #RockPaperShotgun. And it seems they're now talking about this game called SOPA?

Sopa on Steam Emotional narrative adventure about the things we pass along. Inspired by Miyazaki, Coco, and The Little Prince.

Sopa - not just about making soup - it's about making soup with your grandma, and that makes all the difference.

Thank you so much for sharing, Dave! Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle were such a big part of my childhood, and are huge inspirations for SOPA.

I'm so thrilled that it caught your eye!
