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.

The Ascent – "Outstanding Visual Style" Award
Lawn Mowing Simulator – "Sit back and Relax" Award
I Am Fish – "Best Game You Suck At" Award
For The King –"Labor of Love" Award
Human: Fall Flat – "Labor of Love" Award
Autonauts – "Labor of Love" Award
Embr – "Better With Friends" Award
Just Die Already – "Better With Friends" Award
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
Did someone say Thanksgiving?
Enjoy a delectable festive banquet on the Athena station, courtesy of Wing Commander Lyra...just make sure to keep it away from the turkey that will be roaming the deck!

Brand new free Hotshot Racing DLC ‘Big Boss Bundle’ is out now on PC and consoles, featuring colourful new tracks, a new Grand Prix Championship – and brand new game mode, Barrel Barrage!
Watch on YouTube
Barrel Barrage takes Hotshot Racing’s trademark breakneck speed and add explosive barrels to the mix. Launched from the rear of each vehicle, barrels explode on contact with competitor’s cars, inflicting damage and making each dash for the chequered flag more perilous.
To celebrate this explosive new mode, we’re starting Hotshot Team Rivals, a competition that pits Hotshot against Hotshot for the chance to win their own incredible 3D printed car model and trophy!
Think you’ve got what it takes? Just follow these simple steps:
Capture your Barrel Barrage moments
Barrel Barrage isn’t short of hectic battles and we want to see the best moments you can muster. Grab a short clip of your most spectacular race via each platform’s recording feature.
Pick a team
It’s a rivalry as old as time: Red vs. Blue! But choose your team wisely; once you pick, there’s no going back
Share your clips
Join your chosen team by tweeting your clip with either the hashtag #HotshotReds or #HotshotBlues
And that’s it! We’ll choose the best clips from each team very soon, and ask the Hotshot community to vote for their favourites. Three racers from our winning team will then receive their awesome Hotshots prizes.
Looking for a race? Jump into our Discord and join a game with our Hotshot community!
But before your begin, take a quick look at our list of rules:

Barrel Barrage mode must be used in all clips
All clips must be recorded in an online game (feel free to use either Ranked or Public games)
Share as many clips as you like, but only for one team – the first hashtag you use will be counted as your official choice
Entries are limited to players in Europe and North America due to shipping restrictions
Have a Hotshot stream planned soon? You can also enter our competition with this! Just share the link to your stream with us on Twitter and use the relevant hashtag
We can’t wait to check out your awesome Barrel Barrage clips. In the meantime, let us know what you think of the Big Boss Bundle on Discord and Twitter!

Hotshot Racing takes the colourful and iconic arcade racing formula of the 90s and updates it for the modern generation. We're delighted to say it's out right now on Steam!
Watch on YouTube
Featuring tracks in playfully reimagined locations from across the globe, drivers bursting with personality and an easy to pick up yet hard to master drift-centric gameplay, Hotshot Racing is perfect for anyone who spent their formative years slinging coins into driving games at arcades.
Hotshot Racing’s is available for £15.99 / €19.99 / $19.99 but during the week of launch, prospective racers can purchase the game for 20% off that price. Additionally there are no microtransactions, and we're already working on free post-release downloadable content in the guise of new tracks, a new championship and more! Further details on this new content will be shared in the weeks ahead. Here's a little tease!
Here's a full rundown of everything you can expect from Hotshot Racing:
RACE AROUND THE WORLD
Hotshot Racing features 16 tracks set across the globe with sharp corners providing technical yet enjoyable challenges. Take in coastal, jungle, alpine and Las Vegas desert environments, with each course modelled with the most vivid colours and blue skies for miles.# PLAY YOUR WAY
Time Trial and Grand Prix modes cater to those who like to compete in classic racing formats, while ‘Cops and Robbers’ and ‘Drive or Explode’ modes offer exhilarating new ways to play. Smash lap records to rise-up the global online leaderboards or download ghost laps to match your racing lines against the very best. MEET THE HOTSHOTS
Keiko, Xing, Mike, Alexa, Aston, Toshiro, Marcus and Viktor - eight speed addicts that have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of being the greatest racing driver in the world. Each racer has four unique vehicles which pay homage to some of the most iconic racing cars on the planet. ADDITIONAL RACE TYPES
In addition to classic single race and championship game modes, Hotshot Racing also features two new signature game modes; Drive or Explode and Cops And Robbers. In Drive or Explode players must keep their vehicle above a minimum speed which continues to increase at regular intervals. Cops And Robbers is an eight-player game mode which casts players as law enforcement or criminals. GOTTA UNLOCK ‘EM ALL
Every race completed earns players dollars based on their performance which they can utilise to customise their ride from new chassis components to cockpit ‘improvements’ like furry dice and bobbleheads.
Pick up Hotshot Racing today with a 20% launch discount. We can't wait to hear what you think, and stay tuned for more updates soon!
