Hey friends! We've got a few updates for May from the Clever Endeavour team.

From May 8 - 11, we're running a free Steam demo for our new, upcoming game Ultimate Sheep Raccoon.

We just announced our newest character: Monkey from Ultimate Chicken Horse! Plus, the demo has a new race track called Docks, improved bike controls and physics, a reworked camera, private lobbies, lobby codes, and custom player counts (up to 4).

All of these changes will be in the physical PAX demo too!

We'll be at PAX East 2025 in Boston at the same time as the demo - from Thursday, May 8 to Sunday, May 11! We'll be showing Ultimate Sheep Raccoon at booth 17093. Come say hi, race the devs, and grab some swag!

See you soon!

Grab your friends and race together all weekend!

The demo contains:

• Two race courses: Farm and Scrapyard
  
• Local and online multiplayer for up to 4 players on Steam
  
• Blocks, power-ups, and tricks to play with
  
• Four favourite characters to choose from: Sheep, Raccoon, Chicken, and Horse

As a thank-you for playing the demo, you'll unlock an exclusive in-game reward when Ultimate Sheep Raccoon officially releases!

Just a reminder that this is only an early build of Ultimate Sheep Raccoon and we’re actively working on the game, so 8-player support and the custom level builder are not included this time around. You may also encounter bugs or features that are still rough around the edges - if you do, please fill out the in-game bug report to let us know.

Your feedback is super important to us as we work on Ultimate Sheep Raccoon, and we want to hear from you! So if you’d like to share any other ideas or suggestions, please post them in the Ultimate Sheep Raccoon Discord[discord.gg].

And if you won’t have to chance to play the demo this weekend, join the Discord to be notified when future playtests are available. (And there WILL be more!)

Hey friends, we've got two big pieces of news! Our upcoming game Ultimate Sheep Raccoon has a public demo available Feb 21 - Feb 23, and we're running a massive sale for the Quebec Games Celebration! Read below for details.

Our very first public demo of Ultimate Sheep Raccoon will be available for FREE from Feb 21 - Feb 23 on Steam!

The demo goes live at 2 PM UTC / 9 AM Eastern!

Did you know we were making a new game? Ultimate Sheep Raccoon is a bike-racing party game where you and your friends build the course together and race to the finish line. It’s like a spiritual successor to Ultimate Chicken Horse, and it absolutely has the same chaotic hilarious party shenanigans.

Just a reminder that the demo is only an early build of Ultimate Sheep Raccoon and we’re actively working on the game, so you might encounter bugs and features that are still rough around the edges.

The demo will have:

• Two race courses: Farm and Scrapyard
  
• Local and online multiplayer for up to 4 players on Steam
  
• Blocks, power-ups, and tricks to play with
  
• Four favourite characters to choose from: Sheep, Raccoon, Chicken, and Horse

While our full release will have even more features - including 8-player support, the custom level editor, and new playable characters - we’ve packed the demo with lots of racing action, and we’re super eager to hear your thoughts.

Player feedback early on is very important for our game development process. So if you’d like to share your ideas or suggestions with us, please join the Ultimate Sheep Raccoon Discord[discord.gg].

[discord.gg]Stay tuned for the demo on February 21, and please wishlist Ultimate Sheep Raccoon! We can’t wait for you to join us on the track later this week! (And if you're not able to play the demo this time, join the Discord to be notified of future playtests.)

Ultimate Chicken Horse is 65% off during this giant celebration of Quebec's video game industry! Our studio calls Montreal home, and we're so proud to be part of such a talented community of developers.

When Ultimate Chicken Horse first came out (over 8 years ago), we never could have imagined it taking off the way it did. Our silly game jam project grew into a massive party hit that people play across the world and across generations. That's special. And UCH's success has allowed us to keep working in that party game space and create Ultimate Sheep Raccoon - our next step for awesome times together with friends and families!

We seriously can't wait to get it in front of you! 🚲

See you very soon,
Clever Endeavour Games
