Deliveries Update coming soon & Steam


The new version of Keep It Running for Steam, which includes the new Deliveries update, is almost finished. I'm currently focusing on accessibility, testing, fixing & polishing. The new gameplay is becoming great fun and offers a nice break from toiling away on the Factory floor. Though... It isn't any less stressful with the kind of boss you are working for!

Accessibility:

I'm spending some extra time implementing multiple languages and subtitles, since the game has a pretty strong emphasis on following instructions and reacting to the angry shouts of the Boss.

I've added a language select to the options menu, as well as an option to enable subtitles:

I lucked out with some people providing assistance with translations, so currently these languages are supported:

Deliveries:

The Factory part of the game has been thoroughly playtested and is currently fully finished, though I may add some small things later on. The Deliveries part of the game is new however and adds fun new gameplay to the game for some extra variety.

In Deliveries you have to control an old steam lorry, which is loosely modeled after the Sentinel brand of steam lorry produced in Britain back in the day:

These hulking, 7+ ton, machines of pure steam power are challenging to control and to make things worse... the Boss is sitting next to you to give you directions and punish you should you get it wrong!

The steam lorry has several controls which you have to manage manually, making for some chaotic and fun stressy gameplay. Especially now that I've further tweaked the lorry to feel more scary when barreling down the windy roads of the town. Don't crash or flip it!

Of course you will be able to unlock Custom Deliveries when you've made it through the entire week, in which you will be able to freely tweak all the parameters to create fun challenges, or maybe to have a relaxing sunday drive through the town?

Achievements:

Can't have a survive-the-night game without some fun achievements! I'm adding a plethora of of them, some are easy to get as you naturally progress through the week, others provide extra ways to challenge yourself and go for that completionist streak!

Keep in mind that these are for the Steam release only.

Release:

Currently the Deliveries update and Steam release is set to the 22th of April, on a Monday. Go wishlist if you haven't already!
