- Steam Summer Sale - 9 July 2025
Hi everyone, I hope you got some good deals in the summer sale.I waited to send this message until everyone had spent their money on more popular games.But actually, 2 people bought the game during the summer sale – way more than I expected...One more day (I thought it lasts 5 days...) to get the game 25% off.Big mapHere’s some info about the new, larger map:The city will be about the same size as the current map.So far, I’ve laid out over 100 km of roads.More than 2,000 buildings have been placed already.The highest mountain is over 1 km tall (realistic height).The map is 14x14 km in size, with over 100 km² of land area.And a few screenshots:More VehiclesOf course, there will also be more land vehicles – currently 18 of them (making a total of 81 + variations).And as always, all based on real-life models (feel free to guess them in the comments).Here’s a video of the new map:Recorded i…
- Merry Christmas - 25 December 2024
Merry Christmas to everyone!!! Unfortunately I forgot that it's that time again, so it's a day late... As some of you know, I'm autistic, I have no friends, no family, I don't even dare to leave the house alone here in the city without getting panic attacks. Next update Unfortunately, the next update will take a while. Some people think that I click the game together in some editor, but in reality I develop it alone in the Unreal Engine 5 (the logo in the game isn't there for fun), there's no clicking together ^^ All models are created by me, all materials are developed by me, the entire code was written by me. Here is a video that shows how I create the new map, or rather, just the streets: There are 70km of roads so far, but in the end it will definitely be 150, as I haven't even filled half of the map yet and the city is still missing... The tuning menu will take a while, and if I ev…
- Early Access - Update #04 - 5 December 2024
The tuning menu still needs some time, but since I forgot to disable the physics change on snow in the last update, here's a small fix: I added a menu to the mechanic to change tires for snow (currently offroad is best for snow). The cost depends on the vehicle price and the number of wheels ^^ I'm currently working on re-adjusting the vehicles, because after some changes, not all of them drive as they should... BUG FIXES Fixed a bug where cargo has the wrong value after changing the vehicle Fixed the color of liquid cargo Fixed a bug where the map isn´t opening when pressing "m" CHANGES Updated vehicle systems to use different rim types (surface effects are used by rear wheels) Replaced "weight override" from vehicle setup suspensions menu with a direct "value" Increased default light brightness Added high beam light Minimap icons are rescaled now when zoomed Changed the "cargo deliver…
- Early Access - Update #04 - 26 November 2024
If you have deactivated the cel-shader you will see no fog of the weather system. I will remove the option to deactivate the cel-shader in a later update ^^ The big map needs some more time... (real size comparison) BUG FIXES Fixed fog on sea water Fixed opacity of track lines under fog so they fade out properly Fixed bug where sleep generator had a default value of 0 hours if not changed (now 8) CHANGES FAQ text in help menu changed to Q&A. Improved truck trailer handling (see modding map) Changed pallet loads to not show snow Removed handbrake from 1-2 gear vehicles to fix a bug Changed wheeled vehicles to only use handbrake when reversing if the vehicle is a drifter (RWD) Removed "auto braking" when vehicle setup menu is open Removed "auto camera turn back" when vehicle setup menu is open Updated the rims tumbnails (the old were made from the inside side) Removed the "Virtual Gravity…
- Early Access - Update #03 - 7 November 2024
More functionality for the cargo widget on top right, discounts at the old trader and a new trader for selling and ordering vehicles has been added. BUGFIXES Fixed the bug which overwrites the total drive distance when there are 2 or more of the same vehicle are owned Fixed mechanic costs (it was showing a wrong value on top left) Fixed a bug where the state of collection vehicles can be set back to rented even if it was already bought ÄNDERUNGEN Changed colors for the "money change" text (negative = red, positive = green) Changed vehicle spawn from mechanic to be always a minimum of 10m away to avoid hitting the player Changed options menu to use a drop-down menu for resolution Changed minimap icon for the sleeping overlap Reduced liquid prices by up to 35% Reduced Target Time by 50% HINZUGEFÜGT Added time and average speed to the cargo widget in HUD (to make the achievements easier) A…
- Emergency Demo Update - Snow - 4 November 2024
I forgot to deactivate the snow system, which makes no sense in the demo, since you can't change tires on the way and you're just sliding... That will come later, currently the snow line only goes down and not up again ^^

- Snow, big map and more - 5 October 2024
After the long summer and the big heat in Germany, I can now continue working again and I will not have any leg pain anymore for this year (chronic venous disease). First comes the weather with snow and rain: The vehicles will have a different driving feel depending on the snow conditions. But it's not 100% accurate because they are two different programming languages. Especially on flat terrain you can notice a difference of up to 2-3 meters... I'm also working on a new bigger map with more roads and some that are not as hard to drive as in the alpha map (demo). There will be a big city with skyscrapers. Currently I'm planning the road design after the terrain is finished. The size of this map will be almost 10 times bigger than the demo... The release is planned for this year, hopefully I can finish everything I want to have in the release version ^^

- STEAM NEXT FEST - 10 June 2024
Hello to all new drivers who found my game through the Steam Next Fest. CURRENT CONTENT The game will be released this year, the demo is still missing the save system, the employees and the passengers, which will be unlocked in the full version. The employees will offer to deliver vehicles and receive special orders. In addition, only 7 vehicles are drivable in the demo, if you want to see the rest, go either to the scrapyard, where all the created models have been placed (as well as some rims) or to the modding map, where all the vehicles I have set up can be selected and changed.NEW MAP I am currently working on a larger map that offers more roads, which are mostly not as extreme as in the demo. I actually wanted to release the game in July, but I haven't had time to add the rest of the gameplay in the last few weeks because I got feedback that you can't have such extreme roads in a t…
