The time has come! It’s Only Money is finally ditching Early Access and hitting full release on Steam this October 14th! We've also got a fresh new demo, It’s Only Money: Minimum Wage Edition, ready for you to dive into right now. Like...NOW!
The demo is packed with 45-60 minutes of gameplay, including a quick tutorial to get you prepped as Rockhaven’s top menace, which includes 15 minutes of free play. Earn some cash, take on odd jobs, or just drive through the city causing havoc - your earnings unlock sweet (and trashy) rewards in the full game, so make those minutes count!
Chapter 3 Content Overhaul - Now Available
If you're new to Rockhaven or not visited us in a while, let us recap. We started with Chapter Zero, introducing a ton of content and fine-tuning based on your feedback. In Chapter One, we dropped more missions, brought in the Maude Boss fight, and let you roll with your Homies around the city. Chapter Two introduced new Side Hustles, revamped vehicle systems, and Fast Travel.
Now, with Chapter Three (which launched a few weeks back), we’ve brought you the MOVR HQ mission. This is our biggest mission yet, featuring Memphis, an ex-wrestler who’s turned the MOVR base into a full-on wrestling spectacle. Expect drone scouting, sneaking, platforming, and yes, some serious wrestling action. Make sure your Homies are levelled up and ready to tackle our most challenging boss fight yet.
New Enemies
Get ready to face two new enemy types: MOVR LOSRs - the underdogs who’ll throw tantrums and fireworks, and MOVR BRUISRs - the muscle with a Ground Slam and Running Charge that’ll keep you alert.
Introducing Metro Dungeon
We’re also rolling out our third Side Hustle - Metro Dungeon. This roguelite experience puts all your combat skills to the test. Battle through Rockhaven’s Underground Metro System, collect Goorana Crystals, and choose from powerful Relics and Stat Upgrades to craft your perfect build. It’s a roguelite, so you start with nothing and leave with nothing - except the satisfaction of smashing through waves of enemies.
What’s Next?
We’re committed to squashing bugs and fine-tuning the new content based on your feedback. Plus, we’re heading to Gamescom next week to show off It’s Only Money. If you’re there, come check it out on the Indie Area Booth. We'd love to say hey!
Mark your calendars for October 14th and gear up to take back Rockhaven, one block at a time. We’ve got more coming, so stay tuned and keep that feedback coming. The feedback, support and general love shown for our game means a lot!
Welcome to the final Film Friday of the campaign! We’ll be focusing on what it takes to produce a game like koROBO which means we are interviewing Koshimizu-san!
Today, we're excited to share our first blog post focusing on one of the many cities which will be found in our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Let's make the journey to our first destination in Northern Finland!
Tervetuloa to Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland! Best known as the official hometown of Santa Claus, this northern city attracts visitors from all around the world, with its unique blend of wilderness and modern comforts. As one of the larger cities in Finland, there is plenty to explore and discover as a visiting truck driver.
Drivers visiting this city will most likely arrive by the E75, which runs right through the city. As you approach the city from the North-East, you'll discover the crossing of two majestic rivers – The Ounasjoki River and Kemijoki River. Be sure to enjoy the view as you travel past them.
In the city you'll find landmarks such as the Arktikum Science Centre and Musuem, and of course, Santa Claus Village, which serves as a year-round family-focused Christmas attraction. Truckers will of course be able to enjoy seeing both of these, and more, on their travels through the city!
Did you know Rovaniemi experiences the Midnight Sun? Also known as the nightless night or polar day, the midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs in locations north of the Arctic Circle. Simply put, the sun never sets between the months of June and July, as the earth is rotating at a tilted axis relative to the sun, and during summer, the North Pole is angled towards it! This has also been replicated in this DLC, so you'll experience it for yourself, virtually, no matter where in the (real) world you are.
Drivers will also find plenty of opportunities for job contracts in the south of the city, where the industry area is located. We look forward to sharing more on unique industries found in this DLC in the future.
We hope you enjoyed checking out the first (of quite a few) previews into the cities you'll find featured in the Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. If you are excited to get trucking in this region, be sure to add to your Steam Wishlist. Until next time, keep on truckin'!
It’s been a while since our last update, but we wanted to show you something exciting today!
In our previous dev blog, we introduced Ashlands. This once peaceful volcanic region which now lies desolate, is filled with ruins of a tribe that worshipped the powerful Bear Guardian and chose to awaken him.
Here’s a special behind-the-scenes speed design video of the Ashlands Dungeon, the home of the Bear Tribe being built in Unreal Engine 5 for Spirit of the North 2.
In the video you will catch a glimpse of what its like to go from prototype blockout to first pass meshed. Each area of Spirit of the North 2 has gone through this same process.
Additionally, here’s a sneak peek at the very first concept art of the guardian statues created which have become prominent figures in the game.
Can you spot the fox?
All images are still work-in-progress, and may change before release!
As you can see, there’s so much that goes into building each area of the game and the developers at Infuse Studio are hard at work from creative concepts to bringing every detail to life in the game.
Don’t forget to add Spirit of the North 2 to your Wishlist today and look forward to exploring the magical world as a fox!
Long time no see, right? We’ve worked pretty hard to deliver you today two news:
Our wonderful team made HUGE progress based on feedback gathered at our first expo - PAX East,
And in the outcome of the huge progress, we’ve just released our Kickstarter campaign!
There's 11 rewards in the campaign. From the basic ones that will give you access to the game and special Discord role, up to the highest tiers, that will allow you to co-create part of our game. It’s accessible in various ways:
access to Alpha and Beta,
co-creating the NPC,
designing an in-game monument honoring you,
giving your name to one of the Neutral Factions leaders,
co-designing events in the game,
co-designing an Architect!
That seems obvious, but still needs to be said: co-designing parts need to be greenlighted by our team.
And here’s our first gameplay trailer:
We will soon post about the updates, and the roadmap is pretty exciting—you can check it for yourself in the {LINK REMOVED}Kickstarter campaign!
