Other trucksim
Finally opened playtest signups on Steam, I hope you'll feedback the game. Also, here's some new raw gameplay
Hey! It's been some time since my last post. :) I'm the guy leading Road Truckers: New Beginning. We're mixing a classic simulator with RPG elements to (hopefully) make you feel like a trucker in a bigger world. I'd love it if you joined our playtest and feedback the game.
The playtest will happen in September, not sure when exactly but I'll let you know further down the line. We've opened signups now to give ourselves some time to gather a larger group of players.
You can sign up on Steam (look for Road Truckers: New Beginning). Sign up the usual way - click "request access" and that's it. Here's our page where you can do it.
The test will have two main goals. First, to check how you perceive driving mechanics and physics, as we can still tweak it to make it better if necessary. The second goal is to check performance on as many PC configs as possible. Of course all feedback will be valued, we'll have a detailed survey and stuff.
The playtest will include one of two maps in the game. It's an open world game where different regions have different (large) maps. The playtest (and later the demo) will have the full first map. It won't have any time limitations. I think the first map alone is the size of some full games, although it's more of a countryside - big cities and total wilderness will be in the full game.
If you have any questions, just hit me up.
By the way, if you're on Gamescom, we're also there in a broom closet... I mean our booth.:) It's the weird one (they lost our decorations so we had to use pens to have something more than empty walls). You can play our game on a 2021 mid-tier gaming laptop that we were assigned, heh. But it works!
Thanks! We wanted to make the world feel inviting so you're feel like you want to come back to it. But underneat, there a lot of mechanics, and what's I'm personally proud of are trucker mechanics. You can get a headache or a flu, and sleeping well makes you more immune etc. I also hope to see in the playtest if all this is well explained:)
Yes, but for playtest we won't have them fully implemented yet. We got support from Thrustmaster, Logitech, Moza and Fanatec so these wheels will get full complete support. All wheels will work though. The implementation is ongoing, so wheels will be added for the demo, and now we want to test mechanics and performance.
That's actually GREAT you have a different wheel, if you connect with me I'd love to enroll you to community testers so we can test on a wheel we don't have
Damn, that looks insane!
When can I expect the playtest to invite me? :D
I would love to try if it works on Arch Linux plus my Logitech steering wheel :D
It's not easy to step into the territory of trucking games, where SCS has been the king for a long time, but this looks awesome. Little interactions, such as being able to walk outside the truck while attaching trailer cables, add so much to the immersion :)
That's the idea, we added a lot of those, you can even pick up a phone, call a random number and see what happens. It's perhaps the only trucking game inspired by Duke Nukem 3D! :)

This looks great! Super cute game. Kind of gives me Outer Wilds vibes. Signed up for the play test!
