[h2]IT'S TIME FOR NEW THINGS!! :D[/h2]

I'm going to release a free Zeepkist demo AND a new paid DLC, on the same day!

You can expect these to become available on November 20, 2024, right in time for the holiday season! :D

Now, let me go over the details to both of these!




https://store.steampowered.com/app/3320860/Zeepkist_Demo/?beta=0

[h2]Zeepkist is getting a free demo!![/h2]



The free demo will feature:

• 16 Adventure Levels
• 48 Cosmetics
• Full Splitscreen Support

I've selected levels that showcase Zeepkist's mechanics and most of them should be pretty easy, however towards the end of the adventure demo I've included some harder levels to showcase those as well!

Most of these levels should be great for splitscreen as well!



I hope the demo will introduce Zeepkist to many many people who would otherwise might never have given it a chance, as well as giving splitscreen gamers on a budget a really neat little racing game! :D

Fun fact: When Zeepkist first launched it had 24 adventure levels, compared to the 16 of the free demo.




https://store.steampowered.com/app/3316260/Zeepkist__BOBO_Tires_DLC/?beta=0

[h2]Zeepkist is finally getting a new DLC![/h2]

Many many people have been wondering when I might release the next DLC, but I always felt Zeepkist was still a little bit too unfinished to warrant another DLC.

However, with the recent release of v16, and especially the rollout of the many many cosmetics that can be unlocked through gifts, I figured it was time to spend some time making another DLC! :)



The Bobo Tires DLC is all about Bobo Tires, a tire and rim manufacturer from Japan that's renowned for making sick wheels for the entire zeepworld! And this DLC will feature 9 awesome wheel designs and 3 cool cars from Japan!

The full list of cosmetics is as follows:

• 9 New Wheels
• Each wheel comes in 3 variants: Road, Race, and Race Thick
• Each wheel variant will come in 64 different colors
• 3 New Zeepkists:
• 1979 Watanabe Camel (The Kei Truck)
• 1988 Yudi 700R
• 2023 Taniuchi Chizu
• 10 sweet Bobo glasses
• 8 amazing Bobo hats
• 16 incredible Bobo paragliders

With the Bobo Tires DLC you can support Zeepkist development AND look super epic, all at the same time! :D




Like mentions, these will become available on November 20, 2024, in about two weeks from this news post going live.

I hope the demo will attracts lots of new players and friends, and I hope existing Zeepkist players will love the new DLC!

Looking towards the future, December will have the December Gift Hunt, so that's going to be lots of fun as well!

Now, I've got to get back to developing games & making Zeepkist updates!! :D

Happy Zeepkisting!!
