Hello, truckers! 👋 Today we'd like to show you several important gameplay systems we're currently working on. 📖 Tutorial & First Mission We're almost finished with a short tutorial that introduces new players to the basics of Truck World: Australia. During the tutorial, you'll learn the core controls and get familiar with the manual refueling system. And don't forget to remove the fuel nozzle from the tank... 😄 After that, you'll complete a short delivery around town to learn every step of the delivery process. 📦 Improvements to the Job System Once you've completed the tutorial, the Job System will become available, allowing you to choose any delivery contract you like.

- Dev Log - New Trailer on IGN! - 7 June 2026
Hello, truckers! 👋 We have some great news - we’ve prepared a new Truck World: Australia trailer that was featured on IGN! Enjoy watching! Now, let’s take a closer look at a few things you may have noticed in the trailer that we haven’t previously shown in detail. Manual Truck Refueling In Truck World: Australia, refueling your truck is more than just pressing a button. You’ll need to: leave the cab grab the fuel nozzle insert it into the fuel tank fill the truck with diesel fuel and then pay for the fuel at the station Almost like in real life. We hope this mechanic will make your journeys more immersive and help you feel even more like a real truck driver. Eyre Peninsula At the moment, the most complete region of the map is the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. Most of the locations shown in our recent dev logs and videos are located there. The Eyre Peninsula will definitely be incl…
- 🚛 Dev Log - Job System in Development - 15 May 2026
Hello, truckers! 👋 Today we’d like to show you the first version of the delivery job system in Truck World: Australia. At the beginning of the video, you can see the available jobs in the region, including loading and unloading locations. The reward for completing a job depends on route length and trailer parking difficulty. At the moment, only one type of job is available in the game - a single delivery using a company trailer. In the future, we plan to add a cargo system where you’ll be able to take multiple jobs at the same time, if your trailer allows you to load them in a single trip. The job menu is still a work in progress and not its final version, but we already wanted to share our progress with you. Thank you for staying with us! 🦘 See you on the roads of Australia!
- Dev Log - Map & Navigation - 8 May 2026

Hello, truckers! 👋 Today we’d like to once again show our progress on traffic in Truck World: Australia.

- 🚛 Dev Log - Cummins → Lock → Kimba → Port Augusta Road - 27 February 2026
Hello, truckers! 👋 Today we’d like to show you another road in southern Australia - the Cummins → Lock → Kimba → Port Augusta route. This is a new drive through rural areas, featuring long highway stretches, open landscapes, and the distinctive atmosphere of Australia’s south. The world is gradually becoming more diverse, with new settlements and infrastructure taking shape. At the start of the video, I decided to wash the truck at the automatic wheel wash - because a clean truck drives faster… right? 😉 Many areas along this route will still be improved - everything shown is work in progress - but we couldn’t wait to share our progress on these new locations. You may also notice the fuel station areas. For now, they are placeholders — we’re actively working on a full refueling system and will showcase it in more detail in an upcoming dev log. Thank you for staying with us! Follow us o…
- 🚛 Dev Log - Updated Traffic System & How It Works - 20 February 2026
Hello, truckers! 👋 This time we’d like to talk about the updated traffic system on the roads of Australia. Unlike First Haul, the full version of the game features complex intersections, roundabouts, and cities, so we completely reworked the behavior of AI vehicles. Now the AI-car analyzes the situation: checks for the player and other vehicles along its driving path (red markers) calculates possible trajectory intersections slows down or stops to avoid collisions Outside the cities, the new traffic behaves faster and more confidently — vehicles drive at the speed limit, instead of crawling along the highway. Our goal is to make traffic predictable, fast, and realistic, creating a living world without getting in the player’s way. Next time, we’ll talk about new vehicle models for traffic 🚗 Add Truck World: Australia to your wishlist - more updates are coming soon! 🦘 See you on the ro…
- 🚛 Dev Log - The Coffin Bay → Cummins Road - 30 January 2026
Hello, truckers! 👋 Today we’d like to show you another road in southern Australia - the route between Coffin Bay and Cummins. This is a new drive through coastal and rural areas, featuring long stretches of road, open landscapes, and the distinct atmosphere of Australia’s south. 🚚 And yes — the same truck from Driving School is back in the main game! Now it comes with full steering wheel support and updated handling 😉 You may also notice the new traffic in the footage. It’s still a work in progress - vehicles can behave a bit rough and occasionally collide with each other. We’re actively improving this system and will share more details once it’s ready. As in the main game, the trip starts and ends at cargo loading and unloading locations. We’re continuing to build a world centered around real routes and logistics, not just roads leading nowhere. There’s much more ahead: new routes,…
- 🚛 Dev Log — The Road to Cummins & Development Progress - 26 December 2025
Hello, truckers! 👋 Happy holidays to everyone! 🎉 Today we’d like to show you a small part of our current progress in location development — specifically, the road to Cummins. In this video, you can see significantly more greenery compared to First Haul. We’re gradually moving away from purely desert landscapes and making the world more diverse. In fact, we already have around 20 new roads and several small towns nearly ready, but we’ll show them a bit later — once they’re fully polished. 🌗 Day / Night & AI Traffic At the same time, we’re working on a new day/night system — the previous version was poorly optimized, so we’re now building a new lighting setup for the game. You may also notice that there are currently no cars on the roads. This is due to the active development of a new traffic AI. With the new system, vehicles will: handle complex intersections and roundabouts drive con…
- 🚛 Dev Log – Optimization and Lighting - 14 November 2025
Hello, truckers! 👋 It’s been a while since our last development update — time to fix that! Today we’d like to share what we’ve been working on over the past month. Optimization and Global Lighting Overhaul Many of you who played First Haul noticed FPS drops when driving from the cockpit view, even on powerful PCs. We took this issue seriously and completely reworked the mirror and lighting systems. Now, the performance difference between third-person and cockpit view is under 20%. These improvements will not be added to the First Haul prologue, as the team is focusing fully on the development of the main game. Team Expansion Our team has grown this year, and we spent time developing new tools for our 3D artists to speed up world creation. Thanks to this, new towns and roads are now being built much faster, and we’ll be showing the first results in upcoming dev logs. Thank you for stayi…
