The length of your bus grows as you pick up more people! Snake through the city streets and avoid crashing into yourself.
Hey guys,
This one is more of a bug fix / maintenance update; no noticeable content changes besides for some UI tweaks. I'm not active on social media (anxiety) these days so I tend to use these update notes as a chance to touch base with you guys. [b]If you want to skip my tedtalk, feel free to jump to the bottom for patch notes[/b].
I saw a comment the other day that made me laugh. It was something like "did the devs take the money and run?" I can see where they were coming from and, honestly, I agree - the devs are flaky af. I drop the ball a lot and I don't have an excuse. Sorry the game sometimes breaks, sorry we sometimes just ghost, and sorry we sometimes drop an update unannounced. Not an excuse but maybe I can share some of the behind-the-scenes that'll explain part of our shortcomings.
The OG bus gang knows this but for the newer bus drivers: the Stovetop team is 2 devs that aren't even full time (yet). I have a corporate 9 to 5 which means my game dev time is limited to after work. The other dev is doing something similar, balancing heavy grad school course work & game dev. IRL pulls us away a lot but we keep coming back because this is obviously where our passion is. In fact, recently we've been prototyping game 2 but took a break to revisit the bus game. Just wanted to say that yes, we're still invested and [i]cooking[/i]. It was never about the money so the tradeoff is that we get to keep promises like [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/bjm67g/comment/em9spkz/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3]this[/url]: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34375765/b0ddae272f3309e789383d19149609b846443f5b.png[/img]
Grateful for you guys and thanks for checking us out :)

Apologize in advance - [b]we performed a big internal update that will affect the update size but the save size remains the same[/b]. This patch was largely to clean up things internally to allow for future updates, boring things like: updating game engine, refactoring code, doing prep work for localization, etc.
[h3]Here are some minor changes:[/h3]
[list]
[*] update keybind view
[*] update settings view
[*] fix broken leaderboards
[*] leaderboards are now automatically submitted (min score 100)
[*] camera fix for museum map
[*] fix active bus stops missing passengers
[*] adjust school bus first person camera
[*] update multiplayer lobby view
[*] small HUD changes
[/list]
I know this update wasn't that exciting so I'll leave you with a teaser for the next map:
