Rake in some awesome games during the Steam Autumn Sale
Ah, Autumn…
Not too warm nor too cold, with its charming colours, relaxing sights, and nature-defying coffee flavours.
Picture this: you are at your PC, enjoying a nice cup of tea and looking through the window. Suddenly, you see a red leaf fall from a nearby tree: reminded about the fleeting nature of life, you decide to have some fun and play a new video game.
A bit of a stretch? Maybe, but, to celebrate the season, Curve Games is now offering discounts on ALMOST (looking at you, Ancient Britain DLC) its entire catalog. What are you waiting for? Check them out on our Autumn Sale page, and rake in a bunch of games at unbeleafable prices!
No, I’m not sorry about these puns.
Steam Awards
The Steam Awards are back, and throughout the Autumn Sale you'll be able to vote for your favourite games in the 10 categories selected by Valve.
We know it's going to be a hard decision to make, but we would like to humbly suggest some of our games for a few of the available categories.
Please consider voting for us if you believe that our games embrace the essence of those categories!
Lawn Mowing Simulator: New DLC and major update
Lawn Mowing Simulator just received its biggest update yet with the addition of string trimmers, giving mowing aficionados everywhere an entirely new way to approach the ever growing menace of tall grass in their lawns. At the same time, the first paid DLC for the game, Ancient Britain, has been released, containing 4 brand-new challenging locations set in iconic British sites.
Human: Fall Flat - Lumber
Talking about "Labors of Love", earlier this month we released a 19th level for our Human: Fall Flat community. Born from the ingenious mind of David Nielsen, one of our community creators, Lumber will challenge you with a mix of old and new elements. So limber up, gather some friends, grab an axe and start exploring this amazing new level!
Space Crew: Thanksgiving Edition

American Fugitive Patch Notes - 10th July 2020 [1.1.18951]
Thanks for your feedback following the 'Quality of Life #2' update we released at the end of the last month. This is a small patch to address a couple of issues that were caused due to those changes, as well as a few new things we wanted to finally put to rest.
Mouse confined to window during gameplay
Added audio option to control ambience volume (for less crickets!)
Fixes for certain RPG/tank missions
Residential cars spawning on driveways
Some automatic camera zoom out when multiple targets
RPG reload time reduced
We hope the new changes make the game more enjoyable, and look forward to your feedback on the discussion groups.
American Fugitive Patch Notes - 25th June 2020 [1.1.18924]
Keep inventory at restart - Inventory is kept after player death or arrest. You can still use the Game Options to choose the 'classic' behaviour where all inventory items are lost.
[Our reasoning: Feedback indicated that the classic behaviour reduced experimentation, which didn't suit sandbox. The classic behaviour can still be chosen by those who prefer a challenge.]
New Wanted behaviour - When the player is 'Wanted', the cops will search an area marked on the map. The player will need to escape this area in order for the search to be called off. Changing clothes or vehicle is still effective in avoiding detection and makes it easier to escape the search zone. (Playing with the minimap enabled is recommended).
[Our reasoning: The previous Wanted behaviour involved waiting for stars to gradually time out, which encouraged hiding and waiting. Feedback indicated that this could get tiresome after a while. We think the new behaviour has a clearer way to resolve, which is easy at low stars but harder at high stars.]
Extra map info - Nearby weapon drops, clothes, and stash clue locations are displayed on the map and minimap. Painting locations are also displayed (once the first painting has been pawned in an early mission).
[Our reasoning: We felt that searching for items - without any idea of their location - reduced the pacing of the game too much.]
Other fixes:
- Increased the player on-foot speed slightly
- Reduced the reload speed of certain weapons
- Increased ammo from weapon drops, and increased player ammo capacity
- Vehicle follow camera tweaks. Now defaults to 'Follow Camera' for new profiles
- Parked cars have 30% chance of being unlocked (previously had 0%)
- Reduced player vehicle damage
- Reduced camera recoil when aiming with mouse
- Fix text overlap in burglary UI at 16:10 resolution
Note: A small amount of new text is currently unlocalized, this will be fixed in a future update
We hope the new changes make the game more enjoyable, and look forward to your feedback on the discussion groups.
