Trailmakers News

Hello Trailmaker,

We're happy to announce the very first "Trailmakers Content Creator PVP Tournament", the biggest content creator challenge we've ever organised!

5 rounds of PVP action, more than 20 content creators and tons of fun!

Make sure to follow all of them so you don't miss out on anything. Here are the brackets:



As for the rules, the matches will use the new pre-made blueprints, and in each round, the contenders will have +1 minute to modify them as they wish. This means that in the first round, the matches will use unmodified blueprints, in the second round, they can be modified for 1 minute, in the third round for 2 minutes, and so on. Best of 5, the one with most wins after 5 rounds takes the win and goes on to the next round.

However, we've given total freedom to the content creators to add any extra rules they might agree on, meaning that there are surprises and uniqueness coming into every match!

Prepare for the action, Trailmaker, it's coming this week with Round 1 of the tournament.

For the last couple of weeks you have seen us having a blast on the new Great Carrier Reef with the game-changing Aiming Servo, aesthetically pleasing air-intakes and beautiful block skins.

But we are done hogging all the fun! Now it’s your turn.
1.9.5 PVP Update Part 1 is out NOW on all platforms!

Jump into the new map and give the template vehicles a spin. We promise they’re actually good now - and if you want to give them a makeover consider purchasing the Skin Pack 3 with 8x new block skins that will make your eyes say “hell yeah this looks good.”

We are going to make this short since we know you are eager to get started but we just want to say that we are blown away at the reception of this update. It seems like this is something that a lot of people really yearned for. We promise we will do our best to not do a Half-Life 3 on the Part 2 of this update.

[h2]The Steam Awards are back and 🎶 We’re still standing 🎶[/h2]

Which is why we are once again asking for you to nominate us in the Labor of Love category.
The nomination is given to a game that has consistently gotten updates throughout the year and you can say what you want about the lack of tank tracks, 1x1x1 blocks, and parachutes but we have put a lot of work into Trailmakers in 2024.

We started the year with 1.8 and the introduction of the Cinematic Camera, Player Event Feed, and Waves on all maps just to name the major parts of that update.

With 1.9 we shifted into 6th gear with lots of new car parts, the new Grand Prix track, and a heap of logic. To end the year we are going combat mode with the Aiming Servo and a brand new PvP-oriented map yet to be revealed.

Award or not, we will continue to work hard on Trailmakers and you have yet to see the biggest update.
However, we would be humbled if you would nominate us in this category.

Thank you for playing Trailmakers and for being the most creative gaming community in the whole world!
