Keep It Running

Evil Turtle Productions | Released Feb 4, 2024

Welcome to your new job:

In this high-stress, multitasking challenge, your day begins with fueling the boiler to get the machinery running. As you control the speed of the engine, you'll need to assemble robot toys on the production line, using a wrench to fix any machines that break down. Fail to keep up with the daily quota and your watchful boss will quickly show his displeasure.

But the challenges don't end there:
Each day brings new obstacles – from mischievous toys disrupting the assembly line to the competitors of the factory intending to snatch you away. Stay alert, stay vigilant and above all stay loyal.

The packages you made need to be delivered as well and of course this task falls on your shoulders. You will have to manage the lorry's various controls whilst following the directions given by your boss. Once again he demands perfection and once again time runs out fast, so best be swift! Oh and... be cautious for any "obstacles" on the road ahead...

The game features Custom Days and Custom Deliveries in which you can tweak the game's parameters to your hearts content. Create fun challenges or go absolutely mental. It's up to you.

Steam version also includes Achievements.

System Requirements:

Minimum:
- i3 dual or quad core,
- At least a GTX750ti or equivalent, 2GB of VRAM,
- At least 4GB of RAM,
- Windows 10, 11 or Linux,
- 500MB hard drive space.

The game runs well on the Steam Deck too and has support for joystick/gamepad controls.

Released on Steam!

The new version of Keep It Running for Steam, which includes the new Deliveries update, is finished and even has seen two updates. I'm a bit late in writing this on IndieDB, sorry! :)

Check out the game here: Steam Store

Deliveries:

Accessibility:

I've spend some extra time implementing multiple languages and subtitles, since the game has a pretty strong emphasis on following instructions and reacting to the angry shouts of the Boss. I've added a language select to the options menu, as well as an option to enable subtitles:

English, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish are all available with plans to also translate the game into Simplified Chinese, Russian and Ukrainian. Maybe some other languages too?

I've made a Localizor page for this: Check it out and pitch in!

Achievements:

To add a little extra fun and challenge I've implemented 9 achievements, with varying difficulty. See if you can catch them all! Well... before the Boss catches you...

Updates and the future:

As I mentioned before the game has seen two updates since release and is now at version 1.1.3. Though I do want to add some minor things to the game still I will need to shift my focus back to Disinfection as that is still in Early Access.

Don't worry though! Keep It Running will see a bunch of updates in the near future, it will just be at a slower pace.

Some of you have also asked about a multiplayer version and I'm not gonna make any promises yet on this, but the incentive is there and as I've shown in my previous news post there's already some designs and sketches laid out for 'Keep It Running Together'. If the game does well enough I definitely would be able to make a co-op/multiplayer version!
