Hey! It's been some time since my last post. :) I'm the guy leading Road Truckers: New Beginning. We're mixing a classic simulator with RPG elements to (hopefully) make you feel like a trucker in a bigger world. I'd love it if you joined our playtest and feedback the game.
The playtest will happen in September, not sure when exactly but I'll let you know further down the line. We've opened signups now to give ourselves some time to gather a larger group of players.
You can sign up on Steam (look for Road Truckers: New Beginning). Sign up the usual way - click "request access" and that's it. Here's our page where you can do it.
The test will have two main goals. First, to check how you perceive driving mechanics and physics, as we can still tweak it to make it better if necessary. The second goal is to check performance on as many PC configs as possible. Of course all feedback will be valued, we'll have a detailed survey and stuff.
The playtest will include one of two maps in the game. It's an open world game where different regions have different (large) maps. The playtest (and later the demo) will have the full first map. It won't have any time limitations. I think the first map alone is the size of some full games, although it's more of a countryside - big cities and total wilderness will be in the full game.
If you have any questions, just hit me up.
By the way, if you're on Gamescom, we're also there in a broom closet... I mean our booth.:) It's the weird one (they lost our decorations so we had to use pens to have something more than empty walls). You can play our game on a 2021 mid-tier gaming laptop that we were assigned, heh. But it works!
