Alaskan Road Truckers
Happy National Truck Driver Appreciation Week!
This week, we're celebrating the tireless people who pretty much make the world go round.
Can you imagine any business without truck-based logistics? Neither can we.
All the best, Truckers!
Truckers Update #1
We've read all your comments about our Gamescom presentation, posted here and in other places. You've had some interesting remarks and asked good questions, and we're happy to answer!
Let’s start with what we feel is the most important for our oldest fans. We've seen that you've been wondering what's been going on with the development and with our studio. We did have a pause in our communication with you, and you are rightfully curious about it.
So here's the deal. Some of you know this, but ATS was started by a small team of simulation game maniacs. We wanted to make the game we’ve always wanted to play. We were super passionate about it and we had super talented people, but it was just a handful of us nonetheless.
At the same time, the concept behind ATS grew, also because we heard your feedback and wanted to include it. We can openly say that the game we first envisioned isn't the game that we have today. It's so much richer now. You have your base, dynamic weather across all seasons, CB radio reacting to the situation on the road, tons of facts about Alaska, real places to see etc. etc. We'll be talking about it in the posts to come.
Anyway, we knew we couldn't continue as a tiny team if we wanted to follow this direction. So we shut up and rolled up our sleeves.
We expanded our team. We enrolled new programmers, visual designers, a 2D graphics specialist, a UI designer, a sound designer, and so on. Some of our old guard went their separate ways, but we've finally assembled a tight, specialized team of the right size for the project, with a passion for the subject matter.
We’ve focused on polishing the mechanics because this is what makes ATS stand out. You play as a trucker, not as a truck. You're not glued to your seat. You have a world around you that you interact with. You have a life.
But let’s not delve into this just yet. This is long enough already, and we want to present the game to you properly.
Thanks for reading! If you want to support us in a free and simple way, add ATS to your Steam Wishlist. Consider following us or join our Discord to keep up to date.
See you next time!
MythBusters: The Game Kickstarter is on!
Well well well!
See what game just got its Kickstarter launch! It’s MythBusters: The Game, which is as awesome as it sounds.

It’s being developed by Byte Barrel, the biggest nerds we’ve met (there’s always someone wearing a NASA t-shirt, I think it’s their dress code). They let us play it, and it’s sweet!
Give it a shot. You can even get the demo! We totally recommend it.

Another week has passed so it's time to show you some new screens from Alaskan Truck Simulator production :)!
There are times when bad weather, hunger or just fatigue forces us to stop for a while to draw breath, eat something warm or just sleep a few hours. To do so, we can rent a room in one of the many roadside motels or stay in the comfort of our cabin and listen to the raindrops falling on the body of our vehicle.
However, once we recharge the batteries, we will be able to go behind the wheel of our truck. After all, the goods will not deliver themselves in time
All the best

We come back to you with another portion of previously unpublished pictures from the Alaskan Truck Simulator locations!
Below you can see the truck breakdown that caught us right in front of school. The malfunction can happen at any time of the journey, so remember to take care of your equipment!
That's all we've prepared for you today.
Take care and see you next time!

We’re arriving to you on this rainy Friday to share with you what we’ve been working on recently!
The foggy climate has settled a bit in Alaska.
During cargo delivery, remember to be careful and not turn into the wrong road and not to interrupt the peaceful night of the local citizens.
The mistakes happen to everyone, but most important is to reach your destination safely!
Have a nice weekend, and see you next time!

We’ve back to you on this beautiful autumn Friday to show you what we’ve been lastly working on.
Recently, we’ve focused on expanding the number of increasing the number of places to start or finish your load transport orders.
But do not worry, we know that people don't live the work only, and that’s why we didn’t forget about creating places where you can eat, drink, rest or visit some interesting places.
Greetings,
Westend Studio & Movie Games
