Euro Truck Simulator 2 version 1.13 is entering finalization for release - and this time it is all about Achievements!

As you may have noticed from our blog posts jumping from topic to topic
between different projects and sub-projects, the team at SCS Software is
actually a swarm of quite a number of micro-teams developing various
new features to grow the truck simulator ecosystem. Some things take
longer to develop, with some we may even be notoriously slow, but we
believe that our approach is right to achieve our ultimate goals
eventually, and we hope that you are having fun being along for the
ride. Achievements is one little step among many for us to help us in
testing the necessary improvements in our infrastructure towards game
data persistence.

So, achievements. Actually, at this stage we are preparing two different sets of achievements for you:

1. Steam Achievements
2. World of Trucks Achievements

Steam achievements were much requested by our Steam player community.
Thankfully, the native integrated Steam achievement system made it
reasonably simple to implement, certainly compared to us having to roll
our own superstructure on top of in-game achievement tracking.

On the other hand, the initial set of World of Trucks
achievements is a turning point in setting up the the back-end codebase
for extensive future updates. WoTr updates are sure promising to be
interesting and we'll talk about them in the future...




We understand that at this stage of the life cycle, with many players
having sunk tens or even hundreds of hours into the game, some
achievements might be, shall we say - not timely. You might even think
that you have tried everything the game has in store for you...

So with that in mind and with help of Steam community,
we have compiled a list of ETS2 achievements with a very seasoned
player in mind. You can think of some of the more difficult ones as little quests or challenges for
you to undertake in the game. Still there are achievements that are
very easy, we still have new players coming aboard having just bought
the game, and we want them to get some satisfaction quickly. Experienced
player can take them for granted already.

It was not our goal to make anyone suffer pursuing our achievements, as
it sometimes the case with games; forcing players to grind. Almost all
our achievements are within the reach of average player given enough
dedication.




Let's have a peek at the current ETS2 Steam achievements in more detail:chievement Count: 28

• Easy - 8 - pretty much everyone would achieve those and so quickly notice the achievement feature, that's how easy it is
• Medium - 8 - not all achievements get unlocked quickly, but none of those should be a problem for any user
• Hard - 11 - certain
  degree of patience and dedication is required to track and complete
  those. However the truckers are patient people and we have all
  confidence in them.
• Extreme - 1 - thats for the most hardcore, never to give up types that drive through the world of Euro Truck Simulator 2

fresh content. So if you wish to contribute an idea, we'd be glad to
hear it in comments.

According to our internal plans, we are aiming at the early September time-frame for release. Stay tuned!

Anfang September erscheint das SammelUpdate. Inhaltlich kann ich da keine Veränderung feststellen.

The readers of our blog have long suspected that another vehicle we
surely must be building is the 2012 New Actros truck tractor. It has
taken us a lot of time and effort to obtain the necessary license; to
finally complete the "Big Seven" European truck manufacturers licenses.

At long last, we are happy to show you that we are doing some solid work
on the truck! In fact we are now working hard to speed up production of
the 3D model, with one senior 3D designer assigned to the task of
creation of the exterior of the vehicle, while another 3D guru is
working on the dashboard and interior.

Check out some Work in Progress screenshots of this majestic truck:

Endlich startet die SCS Produktion für den neuen Mercedes

Greetings,

Starting of with tad of unfortunate news right away: we had to
postpone the Achievements update of Euro Truck Simulator 2 to get extra
two weeks for additional polish. Sorry about that little delay, it's
almost there and still coming, just a bit later this September.

Now the good stuff

During feature development, lots of time is spent discussing the
designs and how the gameplay is revolving around particular feature and
how to evolve it further. However we realized we seldom shared such kind
of behind the scenes info with you...

One of the features that has been under discussion for a long time is another type of DLC - Rigid Trucks.

Having rigids in the game brings quite a bit of challenges for us
- the developers, as we would have to touch an established gameplay
formula, and for you - the drivers, as backing these beasts is far from
easy!

Naturally we need to take care of seamless in-game integration,
with physics, economy, loading / unloading places infrastructure...
There is both good and bad there, this challenge may persuade us to
reconsider the concept of trailer ownership. But you know us, the more
ambitious we are in altering the gameplay, the more time we typically
take to make this happen. We will push to arrive to a broad concept of
trailer ownership, though here we will start with one particular case - a
swap body trailer on which you'll be loading the containers, cisterns
and other loads suitable for rigid truck transportation.

For a driver, this is going to be a whole new challenge,
especially when it comes to loading and unloading cargo. So in case you
thought your parking skill is near perfection with ETS2, think again!
Rigids with attached swap body trailer will test your maneuvering
skills again. Of course, if you are not a hardcore player or just prefer
just to chill out and ride, auto-parking feature is still at your
disposal.





Das Update dauert noch ein wenig. dafür arbeiten die Entwickler an einem DLC Wechselbrücken, der das Spiel aufpeppen soll.
