Heavy Duty Challenge Devlog #14: Iceland and France!
Welcome back, Drivers!
We are excited to share with you what we have been up to lately to ensure that Heavy Duty Challenge is as authentic as possible and has the best locations. To do this, we took a trip to Iceland for research and scanning, and another trip to France to meet with truck trial drivers!

We made a trip to Iceland with the goal of creating scans of the rocks and terrain there as research for an upcoming level set in Iceland. Our environmental artist Marek Barski and Lead Game Designer Łukasz Pleśniarowicz took these scans.

The Nature in Iceland was absolutely breathtaking; it's hard to find anywhere else in the world that can compete with the landscapes we saw here. Łukasz even said it is his current favorite place in the world, which is why we will have it playable in the game!

We also made a trip to France with the goal of more environmental scans, truck research, sound recordings, showcasing the game, and meeting the drivers and fans!

The trip to France was a fantastic opportunity to experience being part of the off-road community and watching people play Heavy Duty Challenge. However, it is also crucial that we take time to watch the real-life sport to make sure HDC is as accurate as possible.
