It's been a couple of months since Double Fine parted ways from Xbox, and they've been busy getting to work since that split.

The short version

  • There's that game jam Kickstarter they recently launched that has Brutal Legend 2 as a stretch goal (just ignore the fact that stretch goal is $100 million).
  • And now, the once again indie studio has announced their first game post-Xbox: Thank You Bus Driver, a very silly job sim where you drive passengers to their destinations, and slap them if they break the rules.
  • You all at least have a basic understanding of how bus sims work, right?

What happened

You drive them around, stop to stop, picking up and dropping off passengers wherever they need to go. Thank You Bus Driver is just like that, except there are rules your passengers have to follow.

Why it matters

So what do you do if anyone riding the bus breaks those rules?
