Hello! Many of you have asked me for gamepad support for Summer Trip Cruise. I'm happy to say that you can now play with a gamepad! You can activate controller support in the options menu of the main menu. If you don't have it enabled but a gamepad press is detected during gameplay, a window will pop up where you can enable support without having to go back to the main menu. When using gamepad, some of the main mechanics are broken, as you can use turbo, horn and steering wheel at the same time. Because of this, if you are playing with gamepad support enabled, the leaderboards will be disabled. If they were not disabled, players who play with a controller would have an advantage over players who play only with a mouse and it would not be fair. I hope this update will be good news for many of you, I will keep listening to your feedback, captains!

- Improved the behaviour of water currents to make them less chaotic and unpredictable. - Restart the level faster by pressing R twice - Fixed a rare bug that caused the photo not to be taken despite being correctly positioned in the area. - Twitch integration should be more stable now. - Twitch viewers can queue for the next trip as soon as they die. Have a nice trip, captains!

Finally, after 1 whole year full of work, the cruise has come! I hope you enjoy drifting with the cruise while enjoying the views and the music. I have nothing more to say, now is your time, captains! P.D.: I'll be carefully reading and listening to your reviews!

Hi everybody! Launch date is very very close, only 9 days to go! So, today I want to share with you why Summer Trip Cruise is both a realaxing and a challenging game. If you don't like pressure and just want to have a relaxing time, you can take it easy, drive slow and take all the time you need to reach the end of the level while you enjoy the landscape and the landmarks unique to each level. You can even crash several times before losing the game! BUT! If you like challenges, you are in the right place! You get a checkmark for: reaching the end of the level without crashing; taking the photo; beating the time mark. If you manage to get the 3 checkmarks in the same trip, you get 3 stars! And, of course, there will be a small reward if you get all the stars of a country! Besides checkmarks and stars, there are global leaderboards also, so you can compete against players from all around the world to be the fastset captain of the seven seas! See you on the leaderboards, captains!

Hello captains! First of all, I want you to know that I've already created ALL the levels of the game. From now to release, I'm going to add extra features like rewards, leaderboards, achievements and extra polish. I will reveal the launch date soon but for now, I can say it's going to happen on May :D So, today I want to talk about the first obstacle you'll face in Summer Trip Cruise: water currents! While cruising through Greece, you will find strange white lines moving on the water. This is a current stream, and it will drag your cruise if you don't get out quickly. It goes without saying, but you don't want to know how smashing with a rock feels like! But not all problems end up with a crush. Even if you manage to save your cruise, currents can push the stern on the way out, turning your cruise and resulting in a waste of time. Luckily, you can avoid this by steering properly!
That's all for now, see you soon captains!

Hi everybody! I've not published any news for a long time because I was full focus on making the game. Sometimes I publish some quick updates on my Twitter account (@GiusCaminiti) since it takes me just few time, BUT! Here I am! Hello, I'm not dead :D SO, first of all, Summer Trip Cruise is almost done. I'm creating the last levels right now. After that, I just need to polish stuff and add some small features, but the most of the game will be done. I'll make a new trailer in a month more or less, to show you all the new features and levels I've been creating. Also, I've added here on the Steam page some screenshots from the Italy levels a month ago, in case you missed them! I'll try to be here talking with you more often from now, I promise! And yes, I know, right now you are thinking something like "hey, all this stuff is great, but... when will you release the game?". I'm not confident enough to tell a closed date yet, but I think something like late May should be ok. Cross your fingers! If you want to ask me something, you can write in the Summer Trip Cruise Steam forum or reach me out on Twitter (again @GiusCaminiti). I'll be glad to talk with you :D That's all for now, see you soon!

Hey Captain! The Cruise is ready to set the first sail. Summer Trip Cruise demo is out, what are you waiting for? Cruise thorugh 3 levels from Greece and make the tourists have their best holiday ever! I'm doing my best to deliver you the greatest cruise experience. It will take me some more time to have the early access ready, but by now you can have your first cruises with the demo. I'm willing to know your thoughts about the game, the things you liked the most and the things you liked the least. Feel free to share them in the discussion pages! And remember: take it easy, have fun but most importantly... don't run! (or maybe yes?)

Hey captains! I'm going to release the first (and probably the only one) Summer Trip Cruise demo on 22/09/2022 at 17:00 UTC. In the demo you'll play 3 levels from Greece to show your mastery as a cruise captain, because you are masters, aren't you? Leaving a comment and sharing your opinions in the discussion page would be really really appreciated, so do it! :D I'm willing to know your thoughts about the game, hope you like it and have a good time cruising (and not crashing) through Greece!
