Dropkick Navvy: First Step

About this game

"First Step" is a short demo for the upcoming "Dropkick Navvy", designed to help us fine-tune the fun.



Do you dig crafting games like Minecraft, Astroneer, and Forager? How about goofy physics sims like Human: Fall Flat or Moving Out?

We love both — so we smushed em together!





Go ham on rocks and trees with slapdash tools you made yourself, then pile ‘em into your little wicker basket and wobble back to your workbench in charmingly precarious fashion.

Or just dropkick them suckers clear across the map. Ain't nobody got time for all that.

• Roam the cosmos and knock down everything in your path to turn them into stuff!
  
• Can’t hold all the stuff? Try throwing it or using a basket or something!

• Craft some tools! And then craft some more tools! And keep crafting until you run out!
  
• Then use those tools to help you gather more stuff to craft even more tools. Oh, and workbenches too!

• Don’t forget the Growth Potions. Craft some of those and throw them at the World Tree!
  
• Watch the World Tree grow taller! So tall that you might need a little boost to reach its branches!

• Expand, expand, expand, until you can’t expand anymore!
  
• New lands, new materials, new puzzles just waiting to be revealed!

  Saved Boston: PAX East 2024

  Friends, We brought the demo of Dropkick Navvy to the PAX floor again and shared this whimsical, goofy game to you all. While we didn't have much coverage as our other two games, Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch and Blackout Protocol, we surprisingly had a lot of people try out the demo, just because of the game's main menu. Our team was always happy when you guys asked about this game in particular, since there was always only one computer (out of 15) showing off this game! We were so surprised when some of you came back the next day to play the game even more and bring some friends along! It just showed us how much interest this game could capture in such a short amount of time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44456041/86928298c5e6bd7d7c02de83c826fb7d1910fcd4.png We urged many of you to go home and try out the demo, since it's free on Steam. We can't wait to see more of you try out the game and leave a review to let us know how you feel. We hope to bring you more news about the game in the future. Until then, keep on watering that World Tree before it goes thirsty and the world crumbles once more.

  Happy Thanksgiving from ODS

  Hello everyone! Happy Thanksgiving! 2023 went so fast and I can’t believe it’s already November. 2023 was exciting for everyone at Ocean Drive Studio! We started Early Access for Blackout Protocol, released Lost Eidolons on PS5 and Xbox Series, dropped the Dropkick Navvy demo, and of course, we announced Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch. All of us working on these various projects are grateful for the ongoing support from everyone and hope to deliver something even more meaningful to our community in the upcoming months. To share our plans going forward: Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch As Lost Eidolons is a very important franchise for us, we are going to keep investing in the genre and IP. For Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch, our plan is to share regular updates via our Dev Logs, and plan to stream and showcase development progress. We are hoping to share the demo build with everyone early 2024—that is, unless we find critical issues during internal playtests! Please follow our social channels and Steam community hubs for more updates. All links below. Blackout Protocol It was busy 4 months after we released Early Access in July! We learned a lot from the community feedback and have been working to improve the foundation of the game, pivoting from the content roadmap we announced at release. As we hope to have addressed most of the improvement points of the core gameplay, we think we can start adding new content again. If you haven’t tried out the game yet, now is the perfect time to give it a go since you will see the much-improved version of Blackout Protocol thanks to our community feedback. And it’s on Autumn Sale! Dropkick Navvy and Unannounced Title Right after PAX West, we released an early demo entitled Dropkick Navvy: First Step! We are collecting feedback and reading the reviews for the game to better plan the development roadmap for the full game—Dropkick Navvy. If you haven’t tried the demo yet, please give it a try especially if you love physics base...
