Steams gemenskap :: Keep Driving

Demo back by popular demand (140k wishlists!)

8 nov, 2024

Hey hey, it’s Josef and Christopher!

We just wanted to let you know that Keep Driving is part of Indie Cade from today to November 16th! This means we’re putting the demo back up again after popular demand!

If you are not one of the nearly 45,000 people who played the demo during Steam Next Fest, don’t miss out. If you’re on the fence, we’ve gotten some really awesome comments to encourage you;

‘This Steam Next Fest RPG about lonely road trips gets my recommendation after I chugged 2 liters of soda to survive an all nighter with an N64 game in my trunk’ -GamesRadar[www.gamesradar.com].
‘If you’re anything like me, you’ll finish your first run through… and immediately go back for more.’ - VG247[www.vg247.com]
‘Keep Driving feels like one part enthralling management sim and one part Kentucky Route Zero-esque pastiche of the oft-forgotten parts of the country.’ - Kotaku
‘Keep Driving made me nostalgic for road trips I’ve never been on and places I’ve never seen’ - RPS

We’re also celebrating over 140,000 wishlists in just over a month since the reveal! It hasn’t been long since our last post here, so yeah, that’s pretty damn crazy and humbling. Thanks so much for all the support.

Be sure to follow us on Twitter[x.com] and join our Discord[discord.gg] to keep up with our updates! If you enjoy the game, don’t be afraid to leave a wishlist – truly every single one means so much to the two of us.

Until next time!

Demo Out Now!

14 okt, 2024

Hi again everyone! Christopher and Josef here again.

Firstly, a massive thank you to everyone for the feedback and such an amazingly positive reaction to Keep Driving. We have been completely blown away by your comments, especially on Twitter, where things absolutely blew up[x.com]! Kotaku, Rock Paper Shotgun and PC Games even gave us a shout out already!

You can watch the reveal trailer below if you missed it previously.

Today, we’re even more excited to let you get hands-on with our first-ever demo for the game. You’ll get a taste of things to come as you spend a weekend driving to your friend's house to play a video game, encountering hitchhikers, taking odd jobs, and keeping your vehicle running on the way. You’ll get a sneak peek into our procedurally generated world with its naturalistic pixel art, a couple of endings including a specially made main story for the demo, and a fantastic but limited (for the demo) soundtrack by local indie bands Westkust and Crystal Boys!

We’d LOVE to hear what you think of the demo, so feel free to comment on the Steam forms here, let us know on Twitter[www.x.com], or join our Discord[discord.gg], which will become more active in the coming months.

Cheers!
Christopher & Josef

Keep Driving Reveal

2 okt, 2024

Hey there! We’re YCJY Games, a two man studio – we made Post Void, Sea Salt, and The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human. We’ve just announced our new game, Keep Driving!

It’s been in the works for some time, and we’re pretty excited to be able to reveal it now. Featuring: a procedurally generated world, a naturalistic pixel art, multiple endings, a soundtrack composed by local indie bands, and more.

You’ll embark on a journey on the road, where you’ll pick up hitchhikers with their own personalities and stories. You’ll also customize and repair your car so that you can solve the challenges of the road using a pretty (we think, at least) unique turn-based ‘combat’ system.

We’ll be sure to provide all updates here to keep all of the game’s followers in the loop. Any questions or thoughts that you have about our reveal trailer – let us know!

Be sure to follow us on Twitter [x.com]and join our Discord[discord.gg], which will become more active in the coming months. Until next time!

Cheers!
Christopher & Josef
