[h2]As we continue on our way to make sure that the game looks good and has its own style we're also working on animating our courier![/h2]



We're starting off with a simple walking animation that will be your bread and butter when playing the game. We know, we know - everyone likes to abuse the run button however sometimes it's way better to simply walk the distance instead of running it! Look at our courier and his dignified walking style. Definitely something to be admired!



Running, obviously also available in game, will carry the necessary weight to it. You can almost hear the sound of our courier's boots on the ground. He is determined to run to his destination and deliver the final package of the day. He can do it - look at his gritted teeth, full of passion for his job and not at all irritated that he has to do it once again today...



Think about it - how often do you jump in real life with a purpose to it? That's an interesting question, right? anyway, our courier might sometimes have to jump in order to traverse a difficult terrain. In this case we wanted to encapsulate his whole being and make the animation as realistic as possible. You be the judge - what do you think about this animation?

Thank you very much for tuning in this week! Cheers!

[h2]We are aware that many of you have you favorite way to play games – be it gamepad or keyboard and mouse.[/h2]



We believe that all of you should be free to choose your preferred way of gaming! That is why we plan for the game to be able to handle both ways of controlling your main character and his trusty truck. As you might notice there is a lot of various functions that you can use in-game meaning that a lot of buttons will have to be pressed!



While there are many options and many keyboard shortcuts to facilitate the gameplay we are preparing for you, we will also make sure to not forget about the gamepad players and make sure to develop the game in a way that would allow for more than comfortable gameplay with a pad in your hands. Currently we have prepared the button scheme visible below but we might still revisit it and change the buttons depending on the internal testing.



Bear in mind that those screenshots are still Work in Progress and as such they can be change - including the functions the buttons serve!

Let us know what kind of player you are – do you prefer pad or K&B combination?

Best regards,

[h2]Not so long ago we've had the pleasure to show you our refreshed courier... but wait, there's more![/h2]

You know how it is - a knight can be skilled and dedicated to his job but it's their trusty stead that will bring them to their destination. As that is the case we know that we cannot simply improve one element of this combo without the other. A knight's armour received some polish, let's do the same for his mount!



Our truck has never looked better, I'd say! Look at the mighty logo it display on its side, look at the tires and lights! The visualization of the truck you can see above and below is the greatest showcase of what we intend to do with the ride. We want it to feel safe but at the same deserving proper respect and invoking in you the feeling of riding in a classy drive.



It will be safer, it will be faster and it will be more reliable than our old truck, we're completely sure of it. But we are also very interested in your opinion! How do you like our renewed truck and the visualization we've prepared for it? We're all ears (or, in this case, eyes)!

Thank you for checking in with us this week and see you next time!

[h2]Sometimes you will be hard pressed to find a parking spot but that does not mean that you should not pay attention and break the law without a care in the world![/h2]



Let's start with the easiest example - what you see on the screenshot above is absolutely unacceptable! Expect a Police to haul you car away and get a big fine if you park your truck like that. Middle of the street is not the place to park your car and that does not change even if the street is remote one or very rarely used. You need to find a proper parking spot if you want to deliver your packages to a house nearby!



It is also completely unreasonable and not permissible to park on the estate of the customers - especially so if they were not contacted about it previously. You might cause damage to the property and you and your company will have to face fines that might be really high. You definitely don't want to lose your job over a moment of weakness and laziness!



Additionally - you cannot park in any green spot you see. Those are most likely private properties and if you park there you risk getting another fine or at least warning. Besides it's simply rude to drive over a land owned by someone else. Perhaps they are cultivating some vegetable there or a construction will start on the land in next 15 minutes? With your truck parked there... well, it would be a true catastrophe!

Thank you for checking in with us this week and see you next time!

[h2]Big city = many buildings. Will you even have a chance to check them all during your deliveries?[/h2]



In many screenshots we've shared you could see many different buildings - from smaller huts and houses to big skyscrapers, they're all here. However - what are the most common buildings you could see in the city? What is something that you would definitely expect to be in the big city? Is there any building that simply must be in a city and without that one you wouldn't even be able to call the place "a city"?



Avocado Bar is nice and dandy but perhaps it's not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about city. Banks, offices, supermarkets and stores - those are all that might take precedence over some simpler buildings. But what would you say is a vital building to see in the city? We're quite interested in your thoughts regarding this topic.



Big, long city halls are something that will definitely find its place in the game. Perhaps you will be even able to deliver some packages to that kind of place? We can imagine the number of packages that you would have to deliver to a place this big... will you even be able to do that? Well... of course you will!

If you have any ideas for cool or necessary buildings be sure to let us know!
