PalmRide

PalmRide, the retrofuturistic fast-paced driving game inspired by classic games, and the modern outrun aesthetics. Drive through busy streets of the city, climb the tallest mountains, or just chill out on your way to the beach. Avoid obstacles and be the first in the leaderboard! Be the rad guy!

That's right, PalmRide was released on this day last month.

[b]The first month[/b] When we released the game, we didn't know what to expect. This was our first game on Steam, so we had no experience with that. We were a bit pessimistic too, knowing that the games we published for Android didn't have many downloads. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38713185/63cadee3cf879ad5a301c8a7ce30fc9c787c2163.png[/img] After the first day of release, we had already received tons of positive feedback, and the downloads were going great. For that, we are deeply grateful. The rest of the month was good too, a lot of people tried the game and got some pretty good scores in the Rad Guy game mode. REPTONE got a score of over 80k, which is a lot more than us, the devs, can achieve. Thank you for making the launch of the game a success!

All you have to do is join our Discord server [url=https://discord.gg/NgZ3ygb8N5]https://discord.gg/NgZ3ygb8N5[/url] and keep an eye out for the giveaway in the #giveaway channel. The giveaway is set to begin at around 10AM PDT, but it may be delayed a bit/ it may start a bit earlier.

(unless you want to give the key to a friend who can't buy the game) [b]Patch notes[/b] Since the last update, the game received a few minor updates. So here are the changes: [list] [*] Faster loading/ unloading times. [*] Probably fixed some of the end game crashes. [*] Added x64 support for PalmRide. [*] Added horn. [*] Fixed a bug when using the controller for the UI. [/list] It's not much, but it's honest work. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38713185/107bec38dbbe5254399b6b4115f9e7a55b8298e9.jpg[/img] Keep in mind that since the last update, we started college, and we don't have that much time remaining for updates to the game. That is not to say that the game won't receive any further updates, in fact, we have some really cool things planned, and we'll reveal them eventually.

[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38713185/b7f723b0b91b4838bead8957086e9dec1f432dec.png[/img] The event will have dedicated page on Steam, which will be featured on the front page of Steam on October 25. On that page, there will be PalmRide too. We may add a discount to the game specifically for that event, so keep an eye out for that in case you want to buy the game cheaper. This event is mainly focused on game developers and publishers, so I wouldn't suggest attending the event to see PalmRide there, because there will probably not be any livestreams with the game. We'll let you know if the event is worth attending for regular gamers, but as far as we know, the conference is dedicated to the devs. We'll have to dig a bit deeper into the details though. [b]Thank you[/b] Again, thanks for this first month of the game. We'll continue to bring (bigger or smaller) updates to the game, so keep an eye out for these updates. Until next time, keep driving, and don't forget to shoot those motorcyclists.
