🎬A BRAND NEW YUPITERGRAD 2 TRAILER is here! Meet AIsha!🎬



[h2]A new trailer is here, together with some new exciting info about the game![/h2]


As we get closer to the release of Yupitergrad 2: The Lost Station, we're gearing up to give you a more in-depth look at what kind of game we're preparing. And there is not a better way to do this than showing you our new trailer

Swinging through the corridors, solving environmental puzzles, opening new passages, and fighting rebellious robots are just some of the exciting elements of Yupitergrad 2 you will see in the trailer below. All neatly commented by our wonderful narrator.

We cannot also forget about AIsha - our loyal virtual companion. With her help, the journey through the dangerous station will be much more interesting and comfortable:

[h3]πŸŽ–οΈAbout the game[/h3]
Yupitergrad 2 is an action adventure game in which you move around an abandoned space station using suction cups attached to ropes. Wait, but that’s just the beginning! You’ll also have jets (nozzles) to maneuver in the air, and a set of powerful weapons to eliminate cheesy robotic opponents.

The game consists of everything a good VR adventure should have: environmental puzzles, hostile enemies, exciting combat system, lots of gadgets and some easter eggs with some strong vibes of metroidvania games.

Not only that, the light and humorous tone of the game will definitely keep you engaged through the whole experience.

[h3]⭐What's new in Yupitergrad 2?[/h3]

It's full of new ideas - we built this game according to the principle of "more & better".

First of all, we focused on the open structure of the space base, in which you should look for ways to open further passages. We will encounter rebellious machines to fight and shoot at with our new weapons. Our hero will use various helpful gadgets to maneouvre the game world, and his companion AIsha will finally appear on the screen!

All this together creates a new, more adventurous atmosphere and the feeling of actually taking part in a great space adventure in VR.

[h3]🐸Do I need to know Yupitergrad 1 to enjoy the sequel?[/h3]

Yupitergrad 2 very gently refers to the first part, being a completely new story. We took an approach similar to games like Mario or Zelda - where each part is a separate entity, but takes some basics and expectations from its predecessor.

[h3]⚑️Game access and release[/h3]
The release is now set for the first half of 2023. The game will be available on Pico Neo headsets, and a little later on Meta Quest 2. Further platforms, including Steam and HTC Vive XR Elite, will have release dates after the release on Quest 2.

Also, we'll soon be sending the trial version to the press and influencers, so you can check out their impressions online before the full release so stay tuned!

πŸ“œ Dev Diary 2 - From Egypt with Love

[h2]Hello dear adventurers,[/h2]

We recently teased that we will be showing something completely new. A new space where you will find challenges, puzzles, and opportunities for entirely new interactions. Now you can see what we talked about, we invite you to Egypt!

On the occasion of Gamescom 2022 (where you can come across us in the Business Area), we want to present you a trailer showing the mystery that awaits you inside the pyramid:

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
As you might expect - the theme of Egypt's ancient treasures and secrets perfectly fits the topic of virtual escape rooms.

In Rooms of Realities, you will be able to visit not only the abandoned hospital and the pyramid, but also the abandoned submarine (which we will show at the appropriate time). Now let's focus on Egypt. Whether you play alone or with friends, we're gearing up a series of puzzles that will move your body and mind!

Stay with us and wait for the following presentations, we will have much more to show. Rooms of Realities still have many surprises to discover.

πŸ₯³ 3, 2, 1... Release!

====πŸ”§ The past, present & future πŸ”§====

We are grateful to everyone for participating in Early Access and following the development of our game! Thanks to you, Best Forklift Operator is much better and bigger than we planned. On this occasion, we also made sure that the update to version 1.00 gives you something new, fresh and exciting.


We believe that the difference between what was released in April and today is visible to everyone. We did everything to ensure that each update gives you something convenient and that the game could be better and bigger.


Leaving Early Access is a big event for us. From now on, our game is officially released as a finished title in a very competitive environment. We are glad that everyone who has already bought the game will be able to update it to version 1.00 for free, and we are happy that we can present it in this version to completely new players.


====πŸ”§ What awaits you at 1.00? πŸ”§====

πŸ’ͺ Arcade mode called Make a mess! in which, instead of stacking loads in the warehouse, you have to make as much of a mess as possible!
πŸ’ͺ New, fourth Forklift.
πŸ’ͺ Steam Leaderboards, so you will be able to compete with the whole world!
πŸ’ͺ Steam Achievements to see if you really are the Best Forklift Operator!

On this special occasion, we have a new trailer:

Celebrating the end of Early Access!


Hi!

We have two good news for you. First: Best Forklift Operator is about to leave Early Access. Second: before that happens, you can buy the game at a promotional price.

On August 1-8, you can buy BFO with an 34% discount.


We have prepared such an offer because we know that many of you are still watching our project.
Over the past weeks, we've added many features, additional forklifts, a warehouse, Steering Wheel support, VR+HOTAS combo, FOV, key presets and binding, Point Shop and Community Items, ultra-wide screen support, and there will even be an Arcade Mode in 1.00 version.


[h3]That is why we want to be transparent and inform you that with the premiere of the full version, the price of the game will be increased to $19.99.[/h3]


Therefore, if you want to drive fantastic forklifts, on flat screens or in VR, now is an opportunity to do it at a very affordable price which is only half of the base price when BFO will leave EA..

The game will leave Early Access on August 11th. We will write about the details of what will be added in the update to version 1.00 in the following news.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1684670/Best_Forklift_Operator/
…and since you are already reading this - thank you again for supporting us all the time and sending your feedback! It is largely thanks to the community of contributing players that Best Forklift Operator has been able to become a better game.
Much love!

~Gamedust Team
