The Year of the Road Trip

I thought it was quite neat that there are five indie games centered around going on a road trip that are potentially coming out in 2021, so decided to put together a little video to showcase them and also set up a little section of the website where you can browse through them in more detail. The music is Home Call by The Toxic Avenger which is from the Road 96 soundtrack.

Additionally I decided to put all the trailers together into a YouTube video, if you’d like to see more collections like this you should definitely like and subscribe. There’s also a bonus trailer at the end :)

Hope you all have a great end to the year, and thanks for all the support! Will be doing a look back at all the games of 2020 but I’m a slowpoke so it will be s 26 ometime early in January. :)

In the meantime you can make some music with Blob Opera.
