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!


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'.


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.


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.

Hi everyone 👋

Happy New Year! We hope you celebrated Christmas and New Year's Eve with family and friends surrounded by truckloads of fun. We're back on the trail and start 2025 on the high gear on Truckful and in this community update, we're sharing some recent milestones and gameplay updates. Buckle up and let's go!


We've been working on Truckful's first antagonist - the mysterious big, scary truck haunting the countryside during the night, affecting the small town residents who tremble with fear hearing all the stories. While roaming the countryside, players will learn more about its origins and true nature, eventually having to face this steel monster. Here is the first look at its grim silhouette:

" - What hits you first is the smell. The smell of burning rusted metal and oil. Before you know it, you can't see anything... and then that noise! It's a horn, but it sounds more like a city siren, yet here, in the forest? I ran as fast as I could. Others mention corroding rust that poisons the crops and plants, leaving forest paths stinking of decay. Some drivers also go missing." - says Theresa, The Mechanic working in the nearby Workshop.


We've been working on a checkpoint system that would automatically save your progress during important game moments and came up with charming shrines - ones that resemble small town roadside altars. For example - once you conquer a steep hill or any other demanding section fully loaded with cargo, you might want to *phew* for a second, making sure the hardest part is done before finally delivering the cargo to the recipent.

We plan on having a variety of shrines scattered aroung the countryside with different night/day variations, below you can see an example 👇


Last but not least - we closed 2024 on a high note, reaching net 25 000 wishlists on Steam (now at +26k!) and would like to thank you - each and everyone! Your interest, feedback, gameplay ideas and overall support means the absolute world to us at MythicOwl and we continue working on Truckful more motivated than ever! 🙏

We will be sharing more gameplay updates in the upcoming weeks. We're also working on a heavily requested demo but have no projected timeframe for public testing yet. Once ready, will surely let you - our Steam Community - know first!
