Greetings, future conquerors of the Australian roads!

Today, we're sharing the latest updates on the development of Truck World Australia and giving you a look inside the ongoing closed playtest.

Closed Playtest in Discord

As we mentioned before, we are currently running a closed beta test in our Discord server. Each week, we implement improvements and gather player feedback to make the game as engaging and polished as possible.
A huge thank you to everyone who has signed up and participated! We’ve received an overwhelming amount of feedback that is helping us refine the game in the best possible way.

Playtest Embargo Lifted – Share Your Gameplay!

Now, playtest participants are free to share gameplay videos and screenshots! This is a great opportunity to see raw, unedited gameplay footage directly from the players themselves.

Key Game Improvements

The playtest has already led to significant progress! Here are the key updates from the past week:
🚛 Truck & trailer physics – we're continuously refining the driving experience to make it both realistic and enjoyable.
🎥 Camera movement – we’ve added more dynamic motion, so you can now feel inertia when braking, accelerating, and turning.
🔊 Audio enhancements – improved sound design.
🛞 Wheel support – optimizing controls for different wheel models. This week, we’ve added support for Fanatec and Moza.
💨 Force Feedback – making the steering experience more realistic and responsive.
