Warning: Asset Flip!

School Bus Driver Simulator is an asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", Atomic Fabrik/TITI Studios, took the School Bus Simulator Driving 2022 tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Zoobs Man, changed the name, and dumped the result onto Steam. They're attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else's work.

Atomic Fabrik/TITI Studios has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself:

The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "School Bus Simulator Driving 2022" is just another driving asset pack (this time with a school bus) from Zoobs Man with little to no merit as a serious game, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so this copy+paste of it can't be recommended.

Asset flips don't involve any professional game development. Sure, sometimes they may change a few cosmetic things, swap out different assets etc, but at heart it's functionally identical to the asset they're ripping off.

Asset flips like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have, and make it harder for gamers to find real games from genuine developers.

Bonus unethical points: The "developer" here has priced this game anywhere up to a whopping $200 USD in some regions. This is not accidental, and while there is no direct proof, the primary reason for any developer to do this for such a trash/fake game is simple. Money laundering through Steam. Like I said, there's no direct proof, but given the "developer" here has such a long list of unethically stolen games and intellectual property infringement going

Might need to bump up the price a little bit, the quality of this game is too good, its like none other. Screw Elden Ring GOTY, get School Bus Driver Simulator up there, should be atleast $500.

$200 well spent

This is the best game I have ever played. It has changed my life for the better and I can not believe the amount of time put into this piece of art.

This game is absolutely beautiful. I've been waiting years to play something as immersive as this wonderful title. It cured my depression, and now I am happy every day. Thank you, Cristian Manolachi and Atomic Fabrik for making this fantastic masterpiece of a game. I am truly impressed with the amount of effort you've put in this game. The physics are insanely realistic. The graphics, well, let's just say you can't tell if this is a game or real life. And the gameplay is beautiful. Truly, thank you for making this game.

Warning - Asset Flip!

Didn't even have to dig deeper this time - it's another Zoobs Man template, namely School Bus Simulator Driving 2022. They all look so damn alike and that's because the asset developer reuses their stuff every time.

So you've got to drive a school bus now, fantastic. There are four buses to drive which differ mostly in color. Three of them need to be unlocked but they are so cheap you hardly need to play - and there seems to be a bug multiplying your money after each level so it's even easier. Your task is to drive the school bus from A to B, pick up a student - yes, just the one, mostly the same ugly dude with a huge backpack, poor child - and then deliver them to another stop, often on the wrong side of the road for whatever reason. That was a long sentence. Repeat this twice per level and that's it.

Despite the store page proudly claiming "More than 10 levels with different routes" there are exactly 10 levels and the routes often repeat as well. I can however confirm there is a "daily reward" spinny wheel thing offering you a chance - that chance being 100% to earn additional coins. As if you needed them thanks to the money bug ...

Sounds thrilling, right? Well, the graphics will excite you with their low resolution textures, low poly city that looks the same everywhere you go and oh, did I mention there's no traffic? Actually the city's just as lifeless as in Police on Duty, another Atomik Fabrik stinker and also a Zoobs Man template. I didn't bother with the sound; at least you can turn it off.

No, I'm sorry to disappoint - if you were looking for a good school bus driving simulator look elsewhere. This is just a lazy asset flip by "developer" Cristian Manolachi. Remember his name - it comes up every week or so and all of "his" games are terrible ripoffs.
