Best Forklift Operator News

๐Ÿšจ Before v1.00 + What's behind it

=====๐Ÿ”ง The When ๐Ÿ”ง====

We've come to this place together, we're here!

The full game will be released THIS week - on August 11, 2022. On this day you will be able to purchase version 1.00 of Best Forklift Operator (or if you already have Early Access, the game will update itself, at no additional cost).

From the moment we decided to work on Best Forklift Operator, we've come a long way in discovering what simulator fans need. We added support for more steering wheels and VR goggles to the game, we expanded it with another warehouse and forklifts. We also fixed any bugs found along the way.

Now we can finally add leaderboards(so you can race to the top against other players), achievements, and an arcade mode where every operator will be able to catch their breath and relax a bit.

=====๐Ÿ”ง The Reset ๐Ÿ”ง====

Leaving Early Access means we need to clear some things so that all players can start this title all over at the same time. To put it simply: all progress will be wiped - progress in missions and discovered forklifts and warehouses. Without it, we wouldn't be able to roll out the full update - which affects much of the game code.

We know that not everyone will accept such a message with a smile, but it is necessary for the achievements and leaderboards to work properly (out of many things). In return, however, you get a finished, polished, extensive COMPLETE game. We tried to find workarounds but we would risk the game stability and data corruption with Steam API. We hope it will not prevent you from continuing to enjoy being the Best Forklift Operator.

=====๐Ÿ”ง The Hack ๐Ÿ”ง====

Life hack alert: However! The amount of money you have on your account in the Early Access version will be transferred to version 1.00, so if you want to make it easier to start the premiere edition of the game, we suggest selling all forklifts before the update.

+We fixed a couple of minor bugs and one major one that could lead to erasing default settings for keybindings

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.

โ€ฆand 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!

๐Ÿ‘€ Getting closer!~

Yupitergrad 2: The Lost Station is the next step in the development of VR games and our studio. We want to prove with this title that free movement in 3D, dynamic combat, and unlocking passages can work well in virtual reality. In a few months, we will offer you our vision of Metroidvania, which you can immerse yourself in completely. All that will happen in a vast, and infinite cosmos. Far, far away.

This approach - to create a more ambitious, more complex, and simply bigger game is also connected with the fact that some of its elements are rebuilt and redesigned many times.
Before we can show you another fragment of Yupitergrad 2 in the form of a video (as in the first trailer), we want to invite you for a small walk through the concept art on the basis of which we develop our title:


Yes, Yupitergrad 2 also has huge obstacles and windmills. We arrange them so that they make an additional impression with their scale.


Is this a shooting range? I think so! Now that you have a gun, you should also have a place to exercise freely.


The new space station will use known puzzles in new, fresh colors. Such obstacles will be a great test of your skills and an opportunity to really feel the dynamics of the game.


This buddy is not an ordinary robot - he perfectly patrols the corridors and very often gets in our way. Pay attention to its turret, it is very similar to the one you will be fighting with!


Docks are a place without which a space station does not exist. We hope you will see something fresh in our vision when you have the opportunity to fly over them.


One of the most important aspects of Yupitergrad and Yupitergrad 2 is scale. Since the game is based almost entirely on moving on ropes with suction cups, each location must offer enough space. It is not easy in VR, especially with adequate information about where the player is and where to go next. Above you can see how we design specific places and traps based on this attitude - always bearing in mind how much they must be larger than the hero's character.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Dev Diary #5 - Update 4

=====๐Ÿ”ง Overview ๐Ÿ”ง====

Dear operators, we are opening a new warehouse for you!

It's good to meet you again and give you a whole new place to play. Remember that driving a forklift is much more than just precision and duty. It's also something that should be a lot of fun.

That's why in the fourth update we're adding something really important to us - a unique, big third warehouse. But let's move on to the details, here's what we are preparing for you:

=====๐Ÿ”ง Update Content ๐Ÿ”ง====

[h3]๐Ÿคฉ Third Warehouse + Missions[/h3]
The largest and most polished magazine is waiting for you. This is where you will be able to really show who is the Best Forklift Operator. As in other warehouses, it has a permanent open space in Mission 6, so you can also admire the game environment and enjoy a greater variety of loads.


[h3]๐Ÿ“ก Navigation[/h3]
As the space has increased, we have also prepared a navigation system that makes it easier to find the right cargo and where to put them. Think Uber Forklift.


[h3]๐Ÿ”ฎ Field of View Setting[/h3]
Owners of Ultra-Wide monitors rejoice! Yes, it will be possible to set the Field of View!


[h3]โ›”๏ธ Game Over screen[/h3]
If there is a situation in the game that does not allow the cargo to be successfully delivered, a message will appear on the screen that will end the attempt


=====๐Ÿ”ง End Note ๐Ÿ”ง====

This time around, the update is very specific - the new content is large, and designed to be engaging, and we love adding it to the BFO. Early Access is a special moment in the life of the game and we are glad that we still get so many votes from you and we can develop our project.

Be with us, have fun and if you can - tell your friends that it's fun to ride on forklifts ๐Ÿ˜Ž
