[Burning Bridges]

Also, there's a metric fuckton of mods out there already.

where are they??

thanks

Fuck this game. I just spent an hour dragging a fully loaded KRAZ thorugh 2m deep mud then I hit a wrong key once "Detach load"

without a proper save feature this really sucks

 

[Angthoron]

Can't you attach it back?

 

[Burning Bridges]

No sorry, I switched trucks regularly. "Drop Load" is directly under "Switch Truck"
if you click that and have not backuped your save you are fucked

At the moment I use Alt-Tab and manually copy savegames
The game has screwed me again because for several hours I'm trying to deliver medium logs, it's practically impossible.

 

[Burning Bridges]

This is so frustrating, the game has a shitton of problems
keyboard setup made by someone who does not play the game
impossible camera control
save game system that erases your progress with 1 wrong click
menus made by someone who does not play games

 

[Burning Bridges]

I think I have to give this up and start over
ca 30m from the next road, but it's simply impossible to drag the truck with medium logs, even with the help of the MAZ. my progress has slowed down to centimeters, it is night and I have not enough much fuel left to skip time

 

[Burning Bridges]

I have delivered my first logs
I always use carriage and short logs now, not trailer and medium logs .. that was a big big mistake

 

[Destroid]

Do you get more points for bigger logs?

 

[TripJack]

you know a game is good when the official trailer has dubstep

 

[Konjad]

Terrible trailer, this is how you make dubsteb trailers:

 

[Burning Bridges]

heavy metal in trailers is 100x worse

 

[Burning Bridges]

Do you get more points for bigger logs?

no, you only have to make 2 tours instead of 1
short logs = 2 delivery points, medium = 4 points

considering that I had spent a day with medium logs + trailer, the whole thing would tip over,
get stuck even with the pulling from a MAZ, and I could not deliver once before I eventually gave up,
delivering short logs is a rather smart thing to do

I have successfully delivered logs even with a KAMAZ now

 

[Destroid]

Spintires looks like fertile ground for making mlg dubstep parody videos, I look forward to them.

 

[Burning Bridges]

There are some vehicle mods, but does somebody know if there are going to be new maps?
I have already completed most of the maps.

Even though the game got "released", the development has been pretty slow and it still feels like tech demo for most parts. Which is a shame, as the game is an absolute blast especially in multiplayer. And now there seems to be some shit going on between the Russian developer and the UK publisher.

Got me the game today, briefly played it and absolutely loved it. I like eastern bloc/soviet aesthetics and hiking sims so this is right up my alley for some hangover days just to relax. Now sitting in train to reach family for christmas when I'd rather get stuck in the virtual mud for hours

 

[Burning Bridges]

Great game but unfinished, and lack of progress is frustrating. This has been released over 6 months ago, and what exactly have they done?

I'd like to see the game getting the support it deserves, but history tought us, that once publisher and programmer get at each other publicly, chances for reconciliation are rather slim.

 

[Burning Bridges]

What happened? I didnt know there was a problem, just checked the forum occasionally and noticed that there has been hardly any work done for months and months and months.

I don't know how accurate or current this info is: http://steamcommunity.com/app/263280/discussions/0/626329820654579168/

 

[Burning Bridges]

Sounds like a major fuckup. The Russian programmer is starving and the British company is releasing communiques, just like in Soviet Russia.

Spintires Pulled From Sale, Developer Denies Allegations

Jebus, what a clusterfuck.

 

[Burning Bridges]

The story somehow reminds me of this here



Lolvee
Developers of the Award Winning Spinning Tyres game

"What can you tell us about your involvement?"

"You know, we discovered this Russian who didnt have publisher or know anyone in the West and got told he wanted a contract. We never had to see the guy in person. We just sent him some thousand dollars provided that we got the executables and all, sold the game on steam and then let it run for a couple of years. In our office we mostly played cards and drank coffee because there was nothing we had to do. In fact we have not seen source codes or anything until recently when the allegations were starting that guy might be sabotaging."

 

[Infinitron]

Well, it's back on Steam now.
