Sweet! Good luck.

Thank you everyone for 420 wishlists!

While I am still developing the second map for Summit Drive, the game launches on Steam in December.

Hopefully we can raise it up to 1000 wishlists before the launch and after SteamNextFest.

Summit Drive Demo received an update.

I also want to introduce Thomas Perrone, a friend of mine who will be doing the music composition/OST for Summit Drive.

I am also planning for a speed run contest sometime soon.

An update was made just now!

Nothing crazy but I had to change all the fonts. The Main Menu is revamped to prepare for the release.

More Soon...

What was once abandoned will now reappear from the dust.

Before I made Summit Drive. I was making this game called Our Light Beneath.

The game has officially joined the #RisingTide2 challenge by

Currently adding some more to the Main Menu to prepare for the new map and other things.

As for maps it might change...

I am looking into adding a place where you can customize your vehicle's interior colors and maybe the bird's color.

A difficult game about driving up a mountain that blends the mechanical absurdity of Envirobear2000's controls with A Short Hike's cozy, quirky aesthetic.

Only a few weeks until NextFest! There will be a new trailer dropping before the event including a release date.

To those who want to make games.

Something is not right here.🫠

I will be releasing a new patch sometime in the next 2 weeks hopefully. This will probably be the biggest demo update before SteamNextFest.

In the meantime play the DEMO and WISHLIST! (link in bio)!
