Interesting little game (currently only a free tech demo) which might interest a few people. Very much in the Euro truck theme, based on the kickstarter looks fairly novel.

Been playing with the tech demo, the MAZ is a beast.

BTW no connection to this, just noticed it on RPS.

This looks pretty good actually, I'm a fan of the Euro Truck games and doing the same but with military kit is even more appealing!

I'm impressed with the mud physics too. I'll have a go on the demo when I'm home from work.

Good find!

I had a go on this earlier, and although there's nothing really to do in the demo, it was very enjoyable to get myself stuck and try and maneuver my way out of it.

As a tech demo it shows off the mud physics very well, it will be interesting to see if the game gets put into production.

Yeah, trekking across the middle of Siberia trying not to get stuck has a certain appeal.

I downloaded the tech demo again last night, and had a quick go on the two vehicles on offer. One is an UAZ light 4 wheeler, and the other is a MAZ 8 wheeler. The UAZ gets stuck in pretty much anything, but diff locks and 4WD help to pull itself out. The Maz just powers over everything, bouncing along on its big balloon tyres.

As before, the demo is moddable, there's a huge community building all sorts of offroaders, from Landrovers to crawlers, and massive Russian beasts!



I'll have a look at some of the trucks and maps this evening, it looks like it could be quite a timesink!
