Meet the Drive Buy Characters

“Selling is good, buying is better. Buy more at BuyCorp.”
Jeff Sellmore, BuyCorp CEO

What does every evil megacorporation need? An ace team of delivery drivers to GET STUFF DONE. Let’s meet BuyCorp’s roster:

In Season One of Drive Buy, there’ll be six characters to unlock and play. Each character comes with their own customisable vehicle, a unique play style and handling, and of course a dramatic and probably heartbreaking backstory.

It all began when BuyCorp started to implement a new, dangerous brainwashing technology in the neon cityscapes of Drive Buy. Posters and billboards started to appear encouraging the VERY LOYAL customers of BuyCorp to BUY MORE STUFF. Keep an eye out and you’ll spot them around the game! Just don’t stare at them for too long… 😵

Demo Week 3: Be Mine

Greetings, Drivers & BuyCorp employees!

We interrupt this service with a message from the BuyCorp CEO, Jeff Sellmore:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Buy more stuff,
Or we’ll make you!

Woah that’s weird – there must be something in the air this week, even BuyCorp’s evil CEO is getting in on the lovey-dovey stuff! Or maybe someone’s slapped him with a ‘Be Mine’?

This weekend we dropped all the content for Week 2 – more maps, more modes, more mayhem! Our Two Bridges map is (temporarily) gone and in its place are two exciting unreleased maps for your feedback!

Each week we’re mixing up what’s available to play in the beta, so drivers can expect something new and exciting each time they log in. This week our focus was twofold: the Steam Game Festival, and showcasing two never before seen maps in the Drive Buy universe!

EGX 2019 Round Up

Thanks to everyone that came by our stand at EGX, it was a blast and 4 days of pure eye-opening hands-on delivery driving. We loved every minute of it!

The last week has been a chance to sit down and take feedback on what you all said and how we could turn that into reality. Critical feedback was sparse, mostly people just wanted to get back into the driving seat with their mates and play again and again.

A good sign surely?

Player Feedback

But this is what we noticed from watching you all play Drive Buy at EGX:

A Nostalgic Q&A with Rachid Lotf

We sat down with Rachid Lotf, an Photoshop illustrator synonymous with a hyperreal nostalgic style that never ends to bring a smile to his followers (Instagram @rachidlotf) – Since Rachid is based in Agedia, Morocco – we didn’t physically sit down, instead we conversed through the warm glow of an CRT monitor, a highly customised AOL messenger window and a new technology called ‘the internet’.

RAchid, Why do you think your followers resonate so strongly with your artwork?

I think the theme I’m working on is the main reason for this. Being a player who grew up in the 80s and 90s, we all played almost the same video games and we have the same memories, so I just have to say how I struggled to pass the first level of “Ecco the dolphin” on Sega Megadrive and many people will understand me because everyone who played this game knows how difficult it was.

For the LOVE of Stickers

Anyone who knows Glitchers, or me specifically, will tell you – I LOVE STICKERS.

The fascination goes way back, but ever since I’ve made games, I’ve had stickers to push into peoples hands. It’s a joke amongst friends that whichever bar they end up in London, on the hand dryer, there’s always a GLITCHERS sticker staring back at them.

Not sure if that’s a testament to sticker culture, my drinking habits or the sheer fact that stickers are just super fun – but I’m writing this blog post, a brief break from our usual programming, to tell you about a company that has furnished my overstuffed pockets with stickers for the last 10 years – Sticker Robot.
