🚛 Dev Log – Optimization and Lighting

Hello, truckers! 👋
It’s been a while since our last development update — time to fix that! Today we’d like to share what we’ve been working on over the past month.

[h3]Optimization and Global Lighting Overhaul[/h3]

Many of you who played First Haul noticed FPS drops when driving from the cockpit view, even on powerful PCs.
We took this issue seriously and completely reworked the mirror and lighting systems. Now, the performance difference between third-person and cockpit view is under 20%.

These improvements will not be added to the First Haul prologue, as the team is focusing fully on the development of the main game.

[h3]Team Expansion[/h3]

Our team has grown this year, and we spent time developing new tools for our 3D artists to speed up world creation.
Thanks to this, new towns and roads are now being built much faster, and we’ll be showing the first results in upcoming dev logs.

Thank you for staying with us!
Add the game to your wishlist, follow us on social media, and get ready for new dev logs and updates — there’s a lot more ahead!

🦘 See you on the roads of Australia!

🚛 Dev Log — New Location Progress: Port Lincoln

Hello, truckers! 👋

We’re continuing to expand the map of Australia, focusing on new cities and coastal areas.
Today, we’d like to share a video from Port Lincoln — one of the new locations our team is currently working on.

Port Lincoln is a picturesque port town overlooking the ocean, capturing the spirit of real Australia.

And this is just the beginning — even more cities, roads, and open landscapes are on the way!

🚛 Dev Log – Small Towns Arrive in Truck World Australia

Welcome to a new dev log! 👋

Today we’d like to show you more work-in-progress locations - these are the small towns in the south, and yes, in the distance you can already spot the ocean.

📸 Here are some of the screenshots:

We’ve already started replacing vehicles with more “Australian” models


[h3]Town overview from above[/h3]

For now you’ll see colorful placeholder cubes, which will later turn into proper buildings, and desert patches that will be replaced with green fields


[h3]Road with streetlights[/h3]


[h3]Parking lot with trucks[/h3]


[h3]Industrial facilities[/h3]


[h3]Dirt road[/h3]


[h3]Grain storage[/h3]


Right now, much of our effort is going into expanding the game world. But we haven’t forgotten about the other mechanics: in the coming months, we’ll be showing you the implementation of key systems such as economy, contracts, and deliveries.
We’ve got many exciting announcements ahead, and since our team has grown over the past six months, development is moving faster than ever.

Thank you for your support, and see you on the roads of Australia! 🦘🛣️

Dev Log: Heading South! New Locations in Development

[h3]Hello, Australian truckers![/h3]
Today we’d like to share some fresh screenshots of new locations we’re currently working on. These areas are located south of the First Haul prologue zone. Here, the scenery starts to change — instead of endless deserts, you’ll find more greenery, rivers, and larger towns.

[h3]🛣 Road to the South[/h3]


[h3]🌊 River[/h3]


[h3]🏘 Town[/h3]


[h3]⛽ Truck Stop & Gas Station[/h3]


[h3]🦘 Road with Wildlife[/h3]


All of these locations are still in development — we’ll be improving the level of detail, atmosphere, and overall visuals. What you see here is not the final version.

What do you think of these landscapes? Would you like to see more green areas in the game?
