- 1.24.1 Patch Notes - 14 November 2021
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. If you want to skip my tedtalk, feel free to jump to the bottom for patch notes. 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 e…
- v1.21 Patch Notes - 5 February 2021
Notes Hi all, long time no chat. Thanks for being patient with this one. In this next update, the team continued to experiment with multiplayer gameplay. Most Snakeybus maps are flat and allow players to B-line from drop-off to drop-off. The flat map style works in single player where the driving experience is more lax but quickly becomes problematic in multiplayer. Coupled with the fact that there is only one drop-off active at a time, players are quickly exhausted from cross-map sprints. Our next map, Tower City, focuses on verticality which moves drop-offs to different height levels preventing a straight shot from each drop-off. The team also noticed that players can experience bus-constipation where player 1 is hitting all the drop-offs so player 2 is stuck with a bus full of passengers. To address this, we've turned on concurrent drop-offs in multiplayer. In the voice of DJ Khaled:…

- Snakeybus adds a multiplayer mode that lets you shoot rockets at other bus snakes - 23 January 2020
Snakeybus was released early last year, introducing the world to the possibilities of driving a bus that gets longer and longer as you collect passengers. The longer you get, the more precarious your situation is, as the possibility of ploughing straight into one of your trailing bus carriages becomes a real threat. But now that threat can be thrust upon your enemies, because the newly added multiplayer challenges you to race and battle other players in a bid to become the longest bus. (more…)
- Multiplayer Update IS HERE! - 21 January 2020
Hi all, This has been probably our biggest feature request since Day 1. I'm excited to announce that our multiplayer is live today! Battle and race other bus drivers, longest bus wins. The multiplayer game mode introduces 3 power ups: infinite boosting, plow, and rockets. Utilize each to destroy and sever the opponent's segments! Our hope is that this update will give everyone a better idea as to what Snakeybus Multiplayer could be. The devs will continue to brainstorm and see what interesting dynamics can be added to the game. And of course we look forward to your suggestions. See you guys online! Thanks

- The best games of 2019 so far - 10 July 2019
Summer. The heat age. Scorch season. Spring’s hangover. It’s the mid-point of the year and you know what that means. No, not “mojito time”, Geoff, put those away. It’s time we told you what the best games of the year are so far. There are quite a lot of them. Just look how many videogames have escaped from their developers in the past six months and are now running amok through the blistering streets, getting stuck in the melting tarmac, like ants in jam. It’s unsanitary. So allow us to round up these unruly games and trap them in a handy list. Here are our favourite sword swingers and space ‘splorers so far this year (and a couple of DLCs for good measure). Okay, Geoff, now bring the mojitos. (more…)
- Update v1.6.1 - Jump Is Back! - 8 July 2019
The jump ability originally was the occasional "get out of jail free" card to help players get unstuck. It has since evolved into a core mechanic that helps shape the hectic style of the game. Thanks to popular demand and community feedback, we brought it back!
- Update v1.6 - 30 June 2019
Rework Jump / Boost Previously, the player had abilities to "jump" and to "boost." Each ability held their separate cooldowns. This system wasn't intuitive and was difficult to control. The "jump" has been taken out and boosting is more controllable. The boost meter recharges over time or refills after picking up passengers. It is meant to be a get-out-of-jail-card.

However, players no longer spend their credits to unlock buses / maps. Instead, content is unlocked based on their total accrued points. Ex: Paris is automatically unlocked when you have a total of 4,000 points. This replaces the previous, somewhat frustrating "play count" system. Points are earned based on performan…
- Dev Progress Update - 06/24/2019 - 25 June 2019
Hi all, here's a follow up to our previous announcement. We have content that is work-in-progress but got delayed. Instead of releasing a big update, we will release rolling updates as features are completed. Here's the current state of each feature and our plans to release them: Menu Rework The new menu is to help streamline game options. Of course, we kept the most important feature: https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F34375765%2F04af119c0e2de7b2d96bd3eab56b43daa68133c9.gif Game Mode: Time Race (BETA) Players race against the clock to drop off passengers. Successfully dropping off passengers will add time to the clock. Game ends when clock reaches zero. This game mode is labeled BETA - it's ready for players but is not in a definitive state. We plan on taking feedback and further polishing the game play. Map: Abstract 2 For those that have enjoyed the othe…
