Hi everyone ๐
In the last [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3090810/view/496057917371319332?l=english]community update[/url], 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!

[h3]Early concepts & truck models [/h3]
We had truckloads of fun playing with some early concept designs for the 'evil truck'. One of our inspirations was a 1971 movie called [i]Duel[/i], 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'.

[h3]Ghost Truck's disturbing presence[/h3]
Encounters with the Ghost Truck [b]won't be limited to duels and boss fights[/b]. 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.

[h3]Ghost Truck chase gameplay[/h3]
The Ghost Truck, once encountered, will [b]aggressively chase you around the forest[/b], 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! [b]Terrifying sounds[/b] will be followed by [b]grim red lights[/b], which indicate to push the pedal to the metal and try to avoid this evil rusty demon.
