Hello my factory workers, This is the final big update for Keep It Running, but don't pack your toy boxes just yet because I've started work on the multiplayer sequel to KiR. It is called "Keep It Running: Together" and will feature a bigger (and highly detailed) factory with more things to do and fear, allowing for up to 4 players (or more if applicable). A more detailed announcement will follow once I got some finished things to show off, in the meantime you can check out my Twitter/X for preview screenshots and other goodness :) I will still release some minor patches for KiR, as the VR implementation still needs some polishing. However I wanted to get this update out now, since it features some general quality-of-life improvements to the game and I won't have much time to work on it the coming two weeks which would delay the update. Anyways, here's what is in this update:
Bugfixes and Polishes:
- Fixed mouse interactions not working when a controller is plugged in,
- Fixed Boiler exploding with just 6 coal by making the pressure relief valve stronger,
- Fixed Lorry rolling backwards at the beginning of Delivery, causing a Boss voice line ("Turn back!") to wrongly trigger and confuse players,
- Lowered Boss anger rate on Day 2 for a better difficulty curve,
- Added progress bar to the loading screen,
- Game no longer hangs during load, to prevent glitches in VR,
- Removed confusing bits on the Ruleboard.
VR support:
VR is now fully supported, but keep in mind I only have an Oculus Quest 2 so I've not been able to test with other headsets. Please do let me know if you experience issues in the Discussions forum on Steam. Further more there's some minor polish that still needs doing, such as certain font sizes and subtitles not always appearing correctly. Functionality-wise it should all be there though!

The Factory:
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.
Deliveries:
Deliveries is a brand new addition to Keep It Running. 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 boiler, speed controls and steering whilst following the directions given by your boss. Once again he demands perfection and once again time runs out fast, so best be swift!Custom Days:
