Yugo: the non-game
A downloadable non-game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Yugo: the non-game is a virtual space where you can drive a car, listen to the radio, and invite people to talk and share the experience with.
It's a space that allows long conversations and hangouts that are often harder to come by when communicating digitally.
It's a non-gamification of common voice chat sessions between people playing a game. It is a game for non-gamers.
–––
When a player starts a session, they are the car driver, and each person that joins is seated in one of the other three passenger seats.
Players are automatically connected via voice chat.
The radios stations are real-life internet radio streams and several of them are available in the game world.
–––
The environment, while it is abstracted and contextless, still contains elements of a certain time and region. The serpentine roads in the game are inspired by the mountainous roads going from Kosovo to Montenegro. The car is modeled after Yugo, an iconic car produced in Yugoslavia in the 1980s’. The time of the day is reminiscent of dusks in Kosovo, mostly because of the omnipresence of crows and the sounds they make at evening flying back to their nests for the night. Similarly reminiscent of that region are also the monolithic-like objects on top of hills, inspired by Socialist-era Yugoslavian monuments in Kosovo and the rest ex-Yugoslavia. Aside from the significance they have for the area and people there, they have a striking visual appearance that blur the time and place perceptions.

Shows this on my mac when I try to open. Help, please, really want to try this game.
everyone on the comments, use 0, password, or 123 from now on so that anyone can join you randomly. we gotta do it like that until they add a random room feature
I got a server passoword is 0
Why isnt there a random room feature?
why is the 'BackUpThisFolder_ButDontShipItWithYourGame' is doing in the 1.03
ahh thanks for pointing it out! I did not notice it got generated. I believe it's used for debugging therefore not necessary for players -- now I removed it : )
That means I have a collector build :D
can someone join me please? password: anre1
Amazing non-game! I am already having epic conversations while driving a Yugo.
As a non-gamer, non-car-lover, I really love this!
really sick game. time to make golf the non game or zastava the non game
fishing the non game
To everyone seeing this , id like to make a server revolving around this game , and to really make it something memorable and really get to know some new people. So to do so , please do reply to this with your discord usertag so that we make a little project and give some light for this game.
Much love , Snow <3.

Troppe cose da migliorare, l'interfaccia che serve a muovere la visuale non è ottimale e la freccetta del mouse rimane in sovraimpressione. Inoltre spesso la macchina cambia direzione a suo piacimento facendo sbandare il giocatore. Non consigliato fino al prossimo aggiornamento.
Just finished installing. Cant wait to play!
anyone can join me. code "hello123" :D
Love this game! It's so cute and relaxing; I can just zone out whilst listening to the music.
hi anyone wanna hang?
why is this fun with the boys
I love this, just really wish there was some sort of matchmaking rather than just password so that you could play with others if you dont have friends.
nice game. respect for car choice lol. I would like if you could add a camera lock button, or atleast a sensitivity slider.
Anyone here and feel like playing? I'm pretty sure I'm on windows. My password is pretty much always Hello. Try it whenever. I can't promise a good convo though.
ohhhh when are u going to play again? :D
I usually play after 8pm. I'm going to play now
its already 3am here in my country so i'll pass for now pal, have fun driving! its nice to know people are active here in the comment section ^-^
can i play this with a steering wheel?
requirements? i have a laptop .
Works fine for me on my laptop. It's a low poly game on Unity, so it should run on a lot of PC's.
I ran it on Linux, Ubuntu Studio 22.04.2 LTS. Nvidia GTX 1050 GPU/Intel i7-8750H CPU/32 GB DDR4 RAM. m.2 SSD. Latest Nvidia 535 drivers. If the 'untested' version works for me, and you have similar or better specs, you should be OK. If your PC is spec'd slightly below what I use, like a 900 series Nvidia GPU, it should run well enough.
Try it. If you're a bit tired, let the PC do the driving. :)

i can olny join a server with a code, thats a bit strange, bc i want to play with others, but idk how to join them without the code
this is a beatiful game its empty but the vibe and the ambiance is perfect thanks for making this game dude
Interesting idea for a truly relaxing experience. Sometimes, after a long day of work, all I want is a `calm` game like ATS/ETS to chill and listen to podcasts or music. You should expand your idea by adding more landscapes and sightseeing, that would truly make the game shine...
This game is truly awesome. Me and my friend spend hours just driving around and listening to music. this game is great and relaxing. I hope that in future updates there will be thing like different biomes or you could drive through cities or towns over time. But still, this game is relaxing and really fun.
Is there anyway I could add my own songs or add my own radio station to this game so I could listen to my own music?
can you please add text chat? thanks.
woah, i love this
Had a great time getting lost in the ambience.
