You Suck at Parking® - Complete Edition news & patch notes

Hey our wonderful You Suck at Parking community!

So. We made another game. And unlike parking, you might actually be good at this one. ːsteamhappyː

Modulus: Factory Automation launched today on Steam. It's a creative sandbox factory game where you make your own voxel modules and build them into production lines. No pressure, no timers, no one judging your spatial awareness.

Think of it as the opposite of parking. Relaxing. Satisfying. Nobody honking at you.

Thanks for being such a brilliant community. We love you even if you do suck at parking.

Hello everyone.

As longtime supporters of Happy Volcano, we wanted to share a quick reminder about something close to our hearts.

Our Creator Program is open and now fully focused on supporting the launch of our next game, Modulus, a relaxing, creative factory automation game.

If you’re a creator and would like to help us get Modulus seen in the run-up to launch, we’d love for you to apply. Equally if you watch Twitch, YouTube or TikTok creators and think one of your favourite channels would be a good fit let them know about the program. We just want to stress that even if your channel is on the smaller side, if you have a clear passion for factory games, builders, or creative games, please do still apply. We are a small team and have worked super hard to get to this point. We fully understand what it is like when you are starting out and are passionate about what you do, so know that we are open to working with smaller creators too. You can check out the full details of the Creator Program below, but bear in mind that for the next few months we will be focusing the program on Modulus:
