Hello Trailmaker!

A new dev diary for our upcoming 1.7 Update just dropped ːsteamhappyː

This time, we respond a selection of questions from our players (join our Discord server if you want to participate aswell!) and end the dev diary commenting some of the upcoming features, specifically we focus on Multiplayer:

• You'll be able to hide names of the enemy team players without having to hide the whole HUD
  
• You'll be able to make everyones character in the server invincible, specially usefull for certain types of custom challenges
  
• A new Gravity Slider to mess with how strong the gravity is in your multiplayer servers

The first episode of the Dev Diary is now live.

We have taken questions about 1.7 and Trailmakers development from Discord and brought Trailmakers’ Art Director, Lasse Outzen, on the stream to answer them. Questions like “How did Trailmakers start?” and “What’s your stance on guided missiles?”. Even “Will there be a new map?”. And the questions were answered but you will have to watch the video to find out what the answer was. 👀

If you want your question to be answered on the next episode join our Discord and ask your questions in the #dev-diary channel. Next Dev Diary will be livestreamed on July 27.

Happy Trailmaking!

Hey Trailmakers!

We just pushed a small hotfix to fix a crash that was affecting a subset of devices and would cause a crash when loading into worlds. Thanks for your patience as we worked to identify and fix this issue!

If you haven't already - be sure to check out our latest Steam news all about our next update, 1.7!

We are making the next Trailmakers update in collaboration with… you!

Following the trail made (hehe) by 1.6 and Airborne we are now ready to unveil Trailmakers 1.7 and we are especially excited to announce this one to you.

All of our updates are made with the community in mind but this one takes it a step further. Over the course of the summer and fall we will be working hard on implementing suggestions from the community and launching them in one big community appreciation update.

To make this work we have launched four new channels on our Discord server:


Suggest features/fixes for Trailmakers 1.7. Vote on your favourite ones and you might see them in the patch notes!

Mind you, this is not a popularity contest. Suggestions with a lot of votes won’t necessarily make it into the game. We will be evaluating what suggestions are realistic to implement. We are looking to improve on already existing features in the game with quality of life being the main focus.


On top of your suggestions we would love to see a discussion about suggestions features.

This channel allows you to go into detail, both regarding your own suggestion, but also other peoples’ suggestions. Why is this a good idea? What kind of problems could this feature cause? Could we tweak this little particular detail? Constructive criticism all the way.


Every second Thursday we are livestreaming the Build Challenge which will be succeeded by a Dev Diary at the end of the stream. Here we will answer questions that have been asked on the Discord channel as well as update you on how development of 1.7 is going.


Modding is an important part of any game’s ecosystem and we want more clear communication with the modding community about what tools they need to succeed.

The first stream will be on Thursday, June 29th, 17:00 CEST.
