Truck Mechanic: Dangerous Paths — Dev Diary #97

Hello, Truck Mechanics!


It's been a while since we last got in touch, but now we're back with a massive update for Truck Mechanic: Dangerous Paths, and trust us – it's been worth the wait! We've packed in a ton of new features, interactions, and systems to keep you busy on the perilous roads... Let's dive right in!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]


New Interactions

We've significantly expanded the range of uses and interactions for your tools. You can now open and repair gates and signs, or even demolish blockades using your trusty machete. You can also pick up new objects such as cash, skill books that grant free skill unlocks, and customization items. Additionally, the bolt cutters are now useful for slicing through certain fences, while the winch can be used to break down terrain obstacles. And that's not all – keep an eye out for paint buckets scattered around in-game locales to alter your truck's color scheme and give it a fresh new look!



New Reputation System

With so many new interactions, we've also revamped the reputation system. To progress through certain missions, you'll now need to attain specific reputation levels. And how do you do that? By completing side quests, cargo deliveries, and smaller tasks that earn you reputation points. It's time to step up and prove your worth!



Skill System

Finally, the long-awaited skill system is here! We've introduced 4 distinct skill categories: Driving, Mechanics, Exploration, and Economy. Each skill can be purchased with the cash you've collected or, as mentioned earlier, by finding special skill books hidden throughout the world. Unlock them to gain a strategic edge and further tailor your playstyle.



Misc Changes

In addition to these major inclusions, we've revised the tutorial system to make it clearer and more informative, ensuring that every newcomer knows the ropes. We've also introduced a guidebook where you can revisit essential mechanics or view gameplay tips at any time. Not to mention, the game now has full controller support, updated UI, and numerous other quality-of-life improvements to make your journey smoother than ever before.



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

Truck Mechanic: Dangerous Paths — Dev Diary #96

Hello, Truck Mechanics!

It’s time to unveil some exciting updates we’ve been working on to make your journey through Truck Mechanic: Dangerous Paths even more immersive, rewarding, and adventurous.
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]


Reputation System

Let’s start with something cool—the Reputation System. The more you contribute to the world through missions and challenges, the more of its doors will open for you. Higher reputation doesn’t just earn you respect but comes with tangible benefits. Think better deals on essentials like fuel, exclusive customization options to make your truck truly stand out, and access to additional quests packed with unique opportunities. Reputation is tied to individual maps, meaning that your standing in one region won’t automatically carry over to another—just like in real life, you’ll need to prove yourself wherever you go. This system is designed to reward exploration and dedication, so keep pushing those boundaries to reap the rewards!



New Tools

Next, let’s talk tools—because what’s a mechanic without the right gear? We’re introducing new mechanics and upgraded tools to expand how you can interact with the environment. The soldering iron is a game changer, letting you repair electrical systems to access previously unreachable locations. Meanwhile, the bolt cutter has been revamped to open up even more locked areas, paving the way for unexpected adventures. And since no trek down dangerous paths is without its share of grime, your truck will now get visibly dirty as you tackle the toughest of terrain... Don’t worry, it’s all part of the experience!



Updated Points of Interest

Lastly, the maps themselves are evolving. We’re continuously expanding them with new locales and fresh points of interest, breathing life into every corner of the in-game world. Whether you’re stumbling upon an impressive vista or investigating a hidden nook with something special to uncover, these areas are designed to keep exploration exciting and rewarding. We’re also fine-tuning existing locations, ensuring that every detail meets our vision for quality and immersion. This ongoing process ascertains that no matter how many times you revisit a map, there’s always something new to do or see.



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

One last thing — Playtest is coming soon! Sign up for it now and be among the first to try out the new features and share your feedback.
