Dustland Delivery Beta Test



Breaker, breaker! Dustland Delivery will be released in Early Access on July 12.
Before then, we'll be conducting a limited beta test. This is your invitation to experience the Dustlands for yourself!

  • How do I take part in the playtest?

Just visit our page on Steam and click the Request Access button to sign up to the playtest! Places are limited, so sign up now for your chance to immerse yourself in the world of Dustland Delivery!

Selected players will be entered into the beta test from June 26 to June 30 (Pacific Daylight Time).
For those who have signed up for the beta test during the Next Fest, we'll contact you via Discord or email before the test starts. Stay tuned!

When the beta test ends, we'll use your feedback to make the final changes and improvements before the Early Access release. We'll invite you to fill in a questionnaire to share your gaming experience with us.

  • What's the difference between the demo and the beta test?

The beta test will include way more content than the demo! You'll be able to experience much more of the core gameplay, including building your own city and recruiting crew members. You'll also be able to play through the main story, side stories, and a ton of random events!
So even if you've already played the demo, we highly recommend registering for the beta test!

  • How do I report bugs or submit suggestions?

Join our Discord Server! The dev team might be able to help nail down your issue.

You're also welcome to share suggestions with us and discuss Dustland Delivery with your fellow truckers!

DEVLOG #1

Hi everybody!

We're Neutron Star Studio, an independent games developer. The idea for Dustland Delivery came about in 2019. In terms of design, we were particularly inspired by Death Stranding and Fallout 2. In Dustland Delivery, you can choose to become an immoral villain who makes a living through banditry, or you can become a traveling trader and complete delivery jobs to earn Scrap—the currency of the Dustlands. In the game, you'll encounter a variety of terrain types and a dynamic weather system. To counteract their effects, you'll be able to mod your truck with a wide array of parts.

There are over 50 different professions in the game, each with their own unique traits which provide buffs and debuffs. For example, the Delivery Driver has the Ex-Racer trait, which increases driving speed, while the Adventurer has the Troublemaker trait, which could see them kicked out of Bars. When putting together your crew, you'll have to pay close attention to your truckers' attributes and traits, as well as their Virtue. Huge differences in Virtue could lead to discord during random events and disastrous consequences. The Dustlands are a place of scarcity, so you'll also have to make sure your crew has enough food to make it through each journey.

Whether you're playing a villain or an upstanding citizen, combat is an important part of the game. As well as facing off against bandits and bounty hunters, you'll have to fend off attacks from infected mutants. As you play, plague zones will continue to expand. Stopping to rest in a plague zone will put you in increasing danger, and if you hang around too long, you'll have to fight your way out through mutant hordes.

There are six major factions in the game, each one providing different membership benefits. One of the game's main stories follows the conflict between the Taranis Republic and the Civic Combine, and allows you to side with either faction. You'll also find plenty of side missions, with each character's story a test of your own morals.

As you can see, there's a huge amount of content in the game, and we're working hard to make sure it's the best it can be. We hope you'll enjoy exploring the world of Dustland Delivery when the first early access version is released next month.

We'll be providing regular progress updates and issuing surveys to gather suggestions and feedback. We'd like to invite you to join our Discord and add Dustland Delivery to your Steam wishlist. It'd be a great encouragement for us and our work.

Thanks for your support!

Dustland Delivery will be taking part in Open World Survival Crafting Fest!

Hi everybody!

Dustland Delivery will be taking part in Open World Survival Crafting Fest! We're excited to share this stage with loads of other brilliant games.

If this is your first time hearing about Dustland Delivery, allow us to explain what it's all about. Dustland Delivery is a post-apocalyptic survival business simulator. You'll assemble a rag-tag band of adventurers, scour the wastes for business opportunities, and complete missions to grow your trading empire, allowing you to transform your settlement into the capital of the Dustlands. In short, your goal is to survive the end of the world—and turn a profit while you're at it.

We're hard at work preparing a demo, and if all goes to plan, it'll be available for you to try out next month!
