Hi everyone 👋
In the last community update, we teased one of Truckful's main antagonists - the mysterious, terrifying Ghost Truck roaming the countryside at night. Today, we'd like to showcase it a bit more - with early concept arts, models and some new gameplay. Let's go!
Early concepts & truck models
We had truckloads of fun playing with some early concept designs for the 'evil truck'. One of our inspirations was a 1971 movie called Duel, made by Steven Spielberg. The 'enemy' in this movie, was a big, rusty and scary Peterbilt truck. What struck us the most was that you could never see who is behind the wheel and found this idea very interesting - perfect for Truckful's ghost truck idea.
We wanted to make it look grim, rusty and almost bunker-like with little space left for windows. We also added a chain with a hook and curled it around the front bumper that resembles a winch, giving the Ghost Truck some 'teeth'.
Ghost Truck's disturbing presence
Encounters with the Ghost Truck won't be limited to duels and boss fights. While driving and delivering cargo, players will occassionally bump into wreckages, peculiar forest growth and other disturbing signs of its dark presence. All these elements found during exploration will paint a better picture of the game world, story and most importantly - Ghost Truck's true origin.
Ghost Truck chase gameplay
The Ghost Truck, once encountered, will aggressively chase you around the forest, trying to break your pickup truck and make you loose cargo. First thing players will notice is the sound - giving goosebumps, sounding like a freight truck or even worse.. a huge container ship! Terrifying sounds will be followed by grim red lights, which indicate to push the pedal to the metal and try to avoid this evil rusty demon.
Full chase gameplay is available on our YouTube channel 👇
Stay tuned for more reveals soon as Ghost Truck is not the only enemy you'll face in Truckful.
