We’re thrilled to announce that GhostJam Games has officially entered a development partnership with Foulball Hangover to help drive Backseat Drivers across the finish line.
Foulball Hangover, known for their unique and beloved indie titles (Hydroneer & Die Trying), shares our vision for creating games that are both endlessly fun and full of personality. Through this partnership via the Foulball Hangover Developer Fund, they’ve refueled GhostJam with a development loan that will allow our team to expand, polish, and optimize Backseat Drivers ahead of launch.
With Foulball Hangover in the car, GhostJam has additional support that allows us to:
- Add more features that the community has been asking for
- Refine core gameplay to make the experience smoother and more engaging
- Expand testing to ensure the game launches in the best possible state
From day one, Backseat Drivers has been a passion project fueled by community feedback and our team’s love for chaotic, cooperative fun. Partnering with Foulball Hangover gives us the resources to not only finish strong, but to deliver something truly special.
We can’t wait to share more updates in the coming weeks as we head toward release. In the meantime, wishlist Backseat Drivers on Steam and follow both GhostJam Games and Foulball Hangover to see what we’re cooking up together.
🚗💨 Buckle up — things are about to get wild.
