This week we continued tuning, testing, finding and fixing everything from light positions to digging, we still have the front shovel excavators and wheeled excavators that needs some more love, and those need fixing before it makes sense to have a open beta,
But we are still aiming for the 12th! however if this weekends testing doesnt show the results we want to have it will be the Open beta (everyone that wants can join) that releases on the 12th
Just to give everyone the chance to play and us a bit of time to fix the last issues
And a big thanks to everyone for remaining patient and supporting us during this massive undertaking! ːsteamhappyː
Just another loader pic from MP testing
That's all for now! We're really excited about this update and hope you are too! The preliminary release for Next-gen, Multiplayer (beta), and Trucking updates (yes, all in one go) is on June 12th.
Stay tuned for more updates!

Friday news report!
Hello!
This week we continued tweaking and testing the upcoming update so everything should be finished on time. The official release is set for the 12th, but we will have an open beta for those who want to provide feedback or test it early. However, we still don't know when the beta will take place.
This Friday, we have another couple of teaser photos!
We now also have a tiltrotor for the bigger machines
Drillrig for the bigger excavator, reaches about 50% further down With the next gens they all now come with lights as standard
That's all for now! We're really excited about this update and hope you are too! The preliminary release for Next-gen, Multiplayer (beta), and Trucking updates (yes, all in one go) is on June 12th.
Stay tuned for more updates!

Friday-ish news report!
Hello!
Better late then ever is the theme for this "Friday news" On friday i realised that i had deleted the clip of MP gameplay with the entire crew playing,
And after gathering the crew again to re-record it we realised that something had broken in the physics part of the game making it unplayable, but after 2 days i finaly found what caused it, rolled back, reworked what was lost in the rollback and i have now re recorded that clip. So now we are back on track.
But we have been sent a few really good suggestions by you guys regarding price balace and camera stuff that i think we should include, we also havent had time to really do long term testing and there is just so much new stuff in this update that everything needs testing and tweaking
So we are gonna move the official release to the 12th, BUT we know some of you are really eager to test so as soon as we deem it possible we will have a open beta for those that want to come with feedback or just test it early,
Moving the date isnt fun for us but now we will make sure its done on the 12th becuse moving it another time will be embarrasing, Anyway here is 2 clips and 2 images of the next gens! And once again Thanks to everyone for the support and being patient! ːsteamhappyː
Multiplayer teaser, its 2 PCs on diffrent networks with simulated latency, but both are played by me, hence the delay between vehicles when im swapping PCs
New Engine sound teaser, now diffrent vehicles have diffrent sounds
2 of the new loaders
A quite worn out dozer
Thats all for now! but we are getting really exited for this update and hope you are too! Preliminary Release for Next gen, Multiplayer (beta) and Trucking updates (yes all in one go) is 29th May
Stay tuned for more updates! ːsteamhappyː

Hello!
Sad news this friday! There will be one last delay before releasing this massive new update, Parts of the Dozers and Loaders still needs texturing and that wont be done before the 15th, But we dont want any more delays so we are moving the release one final time to the 29th,
However, this update contains everything we hoped to release for the entire year of 2024, with Mp, suspension, next generation of dirt, effects, sounds, feel of the vehicles optimization etc. So with that in mind i want to thank you for being understanding and supporting us!
And here are 3 short video teasers showing a bit of what you can expect!
Digging with the next gen dirt, no sounds and still tweaks to be made
Dozer undercarriage working (might explain a bit why these take time to make)
Just the big haultruck going offroad becuse its nice to look at
Thats all for now! but we are getting really exited for this update and hope you are too! Preliminary Release for Next gen, Multiplayer (beta) and Trucking updates (yes all in one go) is 29th May
Stay tuned for more updates! ːsteamhappyː

Hello!
This week we have continued work on the update, but we had a few setbacks where we need to rework some dirt stuff to work better with MP, this will sadly cause a delay for the release (15th May now) 15th May is much more realistic and if there isnt something going super sideways this will be the date Thanks to everyone for understanding that we are just a small team that are just trying to get this update out to everyone as soon as we get it done and tested ːsteamhappyː
But we want this to be enjoyable and not have to lower the player limit (limit is still undisclosed) and the extra time should be enough for all the next gens to be included aswell
Preliminary Release for Next gen, Multiplayer (beta) and Trucking updates (yes all in one go) is 15th May But take that with a grain of salt as this is a massive update and we will release when its "done" not when the deadline says so ːsteamhappyː
One of the things thats been worked on is the network optimisation of vehicle movment (hydraulics)
Before optimisation 20.5KB/s peaks (even as high as 35KB/s with alot of movment)
After optimisation 0.01KB/s peaks (very stable, doesnt increase with more movement)
Next friday news i belive will be either about Trucking or showing more of the next gen dirt! ːsteamhappyː
Stay tuned for more updates! ːsteamhappyː

Hello!
This week we have reworked the dirt handeling of the next gens (this wasnt planned untill Q3 this year) since it makes more sense to release the next gens "Complete" with the next gen dirt (night and day diffrence), The next gen dirt is still not ready to showcase here, but we have pictures from testing,
What has been reworked/improved so far for the next gens:
*Vehicle handeling *Light optimization *Tracks handeling *Gearboxes *Hydraulics *More controls *Independant control of more features for graders *Textures *Models *Ability to wash and refurbish vehicles *Breakdowns and repair *Dirt handeling *Weight and power ratios *Effects and sounds *And much more
Light Optimization and Default lights (Can be removed) are now a thing Both the big and little new grader
A couple of the Haul and rocktrucks lined up
Adding the "Nextgen dirt" to the "nextgen vehicles" in this coming patch was something i didnt think was possible but thanks to working overtime and weekends turns out it was and will make for a much better (not comparable) final product and is 100% worth the slight delay it causes
if everything goes to plan (i did not account for the dirt being overhauled) the first next gens are 1-2 weeks out (all next gens exept wheelloaders and dozers due to them still being made)
Our focus is to release the nextgens when they are "done" not when the deadline says so, thats why the deadline/release for them might move, but we are seeing the finnishline
Stay tuned for more updates! ːsteamhappyː
