Get your hands on the devlog no. 1 - Alaskan Truck Simulator
Hi, Truckers!
It’s been a while since our last news update, but we’re back with new stuff to share. We’ve been super busy, working hard on the bumpy road of game development, and we’ve got a ton of new things to share with you!
Let’s start our engine and take you on a drive through all the updates for Alaskan Truck Simulator.
New Publisher - Green Man Gaming Publishing!
We’ve teamed up with Green Man Gaming Publishing to ensure we realize our dreams for Alaskan Truck Simulator. They’ll be helping and supporting the development of the Alaskan Truck Simulator as we work towards release.
With past experience working on Model Builder, Filthy Animals, Kainga: Seeds of Civilization, and much more, we’re sure they’ll make the perfect partners for us.
GET YOUR HANDS ON THE WHEEL
We want you to feel immersed in Alaskan Truck Simulator - after all, you’re a trucker, not a truck. From pumping gas to turning on your headlights and steering, you’ll be right there as your trucker with your hands on the wheel and your body in the driving seat.
We are also working on balancing the game regarding the weights of the trailers, the maximum speed of every truck, and how they handle different circumstances. Read what has been improved and reworked:
NEW STUFF - BODY AWARENESS
From now on, you can see your hands animations while handling your daily tasks. Also, we want to introduce special character customization from where you can change the look of your driver. See how those features look in the game:
NEW STUFF - REWORKED GRAPHIC DESIGN AND GAME LOOK
As you probably noticed in the video, there are a few changes to how the game presents itself. You’ll be spending a lot of time in the world of Alaskan Truck Simulator, so we’ve been making sure it looks as authentic as possible. We’ve increased the detail level in many areas, including buildings, trees, road signs, and truck parts.
In addition, we’ve partnered with Tobiasz Piątkowski, a comic book author and art director from Poland, helping us develop more color and authenticity to the world. We want the world of Alaskan Truck Simulator to feel alive, so we’re adding many small touches to help make the wilderness more lived-in.
NEW STUFF - INTERACTABLE PLACES AND NPC’S
Alaskan Truck Simulator isn’t all about sitting behind the wheel, sometimes you’ll need to get out too. That’s why we are designing interiors and authentic places around the map, including stores, and gas stations, so you can take a break or stock up on essentials.
We’ve also added NPCs in these locations - shops don’t run themselves, after all!
OPTIMIZING THE PERFORMANCE
Lately, we’ve also been working on the game's performance and stability. Our internal Quality Assurance team provided much feedback and insights, which we implemented in the game engine. Alaskan Truck Simulator gets better every minute we spend on it, and we will continually be working to improve the feeling and smoothness of the game.
At this point, we would also thank you - our beloved community members - for providing the necessary feedback after our demo tests last year and for your continued support on Steam and your ideas there on improving ATS.
SMALLER IMPROVEMENTS
On top of all of that, we’ve made several small changes that should improve your Alaskan Truck Simulator experience:
Improved weather and seasonal system
More development of the player’s HQ, including upgrades for the look and functionality of your base
KEEP IN TOUCH
That’s everything from us for now. In the meantime don’t forget to wishlist Alaskan Truck Simulator and hit us up on Facebook to keep up to date with everything we’re working on!
Truckers, we’ve reached the end of the road in 2022!
We wish you a very Happy New Year, full of joys, fantastic trips and good roads. May it be the best one yet!
Holidays on the road!
Truckers, it’s Holiday time!
Remember our new mascot, Jeff the Trucker? As a true Christmas aficionado, Jeff wants to wish you all a very happy Holiday!
Truckers, may the roads lead you home safely this Holiday season. We wish you a lot of happiness, dry roads, cheaper fuel and a well-working heater.
Here, take a cookie with you, Jeff has a lot of them.
Happy Holidays!
Meet Jeff the Trucker!
Heya!
Some time ago we asked you on our social media to describe your imaginary trucker. We were quite surprised to discover a lot of similarities in your descriptions!
One description in particular has charmed us and so we decided to bring this image to life… And so here he is! Meet Jeff the Trucker! Holidays are getting closer, too, so Jeff is in a cheery mood.
Jeff’s best friend is his truck (he calls her Betsy) and takes very good care of her. He might look intimidating but he gives great hugs. And he has a real sweet tooth – he just loves to cook himself up a mug of hot chocolate during his breaks.
Jeff loves Holidays. Sometimes, when he has more free time between jobs, he throws on a red suit and a hat, and visits kids in hospitals or orphanages in the towns he happens to be staying in. Somehow Jeff has access to unlimited supply of cookies and milk and might or might not have some connections with Nick up North. Jeff gets tight-lipped when asked and just smiles mysteriously.
Hey everyone! I guess there is no easy way to break it, so here we go.
We need to postpone the release.
There are still things to finish up and edges to iron out. Considering this, we'd rather postpone the game than launch it unfinished and then patch it up as we go.
We're sorry about the delay, but the game will be better because of this. We'll keep in touch.
Make your own mini truck!
Hello, Truckers!
Digital games are our life but it’s nice to have some physical gadgets, no? We have a solution – if you have glue and scissors you can make a paper truck yourself!
We’ve borrowed the idea from Food Truck Empire who released their own paper food truck. You can see it here:
So what if a food truck and our truck had a baby? It’d look like that!
Simply download the picture below, print it out, cut and glue it, and you have a truck!
Here's the video:
Have fun!
Visual overhaul + new truck - first look!
This.
More soon.
Wishlist us? 😉
We're working on a big improvement based on your feedback
Hi Truckers!
Tomek here. I realize we haven't posted an update in a while, but that's because we're hard at work. We went through all your feedback from the demo/playtest and, well...
I think you'll be surprised by how much the game's going to be improved.
I can't wait to show you what has changed based on your comments about the demo! But we still need some time before it's ready.
I'm quite sure the result will positively surprise you. For now, I wanted to let you know that everything is going in the best possible direciton. And that's because of YOU.
Thanks for being with us, and... see you later! ✌️
