[h2] Maps improvements [/h2]
We managed to make quite a few changes to the game's maps. More objects have arrived in the Jungle and Plantation. We are trying to add a lot of places, which finding them during exploration will give you a lot of satisfaction and maybe something more - like hidden finds or hidden achievements. We meticulously add small objects with which we want to increase realism and better reflect the places in which they appear.



[h2] Save system update [/h2]
In the past month, we have made some updates to the save system, which has undergone a major overhaul in the code and various improvements have appeared. Due to the huge number of mechanics available in our game, the task was difficult and complicated. It's really a HUGE and complicated system, which took a lot of time to work out properly. Now the system is faster, works better and has been made bug-free. During the prologue, you reported that this was the feature you missed the most. Being able to save the game correctly will avoid your frustrations and guarantee a quick and pleasant return to where you left off in the previous session.



[h2] Graphic improvements [/h2]
The graphic improvements introduced in Truck Mechanic: Dangerous Paths represent a significant leap forward in visual fidelity and optimization. By leveraging advanced technologies and optimization techniques, the game delivers great visuals that enhance the gameplay experience. These enhancements encompass a comprehensive overhaul of the game's graphical assets, including intricately detailed textures and meticulously crafted environmental elements. Dynamic lighting and shadows add depth and realism to the game world, while improved environmental effects, such as dynamic particle systems, it enhances the enjoyment of the game.

[h2] Maps improvements [/h2]
Our overriding goal is to make you drive in the course of carrying out various orders, and you will derive great satisfaction from what you see on the road. Our level designers are flooding maps with new content and expanding the existing infrastructure so that as you go, the world will be more complete and significantly more interesting. On one, you'll find multiple logging sites, on another research stations, on others a small old airfield, as well as a complex system of mines. Each will be different, and will force a slightly different approach.



[h2] Building Narrative [/h2]
Narrative in the game Truck Mechanic: Dangerous Truck is a fundamental element that not only guides the player through the fascinating world of the game, but also creates depth and emotional engagement. In our approach to building narrative, we put a strong emphasis on the interaction between the player and the game world through hundreds of dialogues and reactions of the main character.

Its implementation allows us to create a rich and dynamic world where each conversation can uncover new secrets, develop the plot, or introduce the player to new challenges. Dialogues not only provide information but also build the relationship between Bart and the player.

Bart is a key element of our narrative. His reactions to the situations he finds himself in are varied. Whether he is in an exciting repair or a quiet moment of reflection near an epic view, the main character will react in a way that corresponds to his personality and experiences.

Additionally, our hero will react to changes in the environment and to where he is located. This may include different comments about the surrounding scenery or more subtle reactions to changing weather conditions or the time of day.

All of these elements build a deeper and more immersive game world that encourages the player to further explore and engage with the story. Through extensive narrative, dialogues, and reactions of the main character.



[h2] Side Quests [/h2]
As you traverse through lands, you'll stumble upon local predicaments that may seem trivial but harbor immense potential. Side missions not only enrich your experience but also pave the way for greater challenges ahead.

Engaging in these tasks not only rewards you with handsome compensation but also earns you reputation points with the locals. These points are crucial for unlocking main missions, ensuring a satisfying, intriguing, and demanding progression system. We've balanced gameplay to ensure that you derive equal enjoyment from both transport missions and the grander main quests, where not every challenge involves repairing something. Just as you witnessed in the prologue, narrative threads are of utmost importance to us.




Stay tuned for more updates and keep on trucking! If you like what you see, consider adding Truck Mechanic to your Steam Wishlist!
