Development stream update #2 come and ask your questions!


HGVMP Team

Fellow Truck Enthusiasts,

There's been rumour and speculation recently that we're back in development. I'm writing to you today to gladly confirm that these rumours are in fact true.

It's a very passionate project for those of us involved and we were unable to just let it go nowhere.

Please note that, for right now, this is not a guarantee or promise that there will be an end result. We're currently a 3 man team of a Project Manager, a Web Developer and a Mod Developer and we're all pushing our free time to the limits right now.

We understand that there will be questions you all have and suggestions you want to put forward. To help us make this project something you're proud to be a part of, we've opened up a Discord server for you to be able to directly engage with the team. Further to this, we're always monitoring the Facebook page inbox for any messages and will endeavour to reply to any post made to the page.

You can find some FAQs on our Discord server and we hope to see you all soon and look forward to moving forwards together.

Dear Truckers,

After a long discussion with the higher management team, we regret to inform you that the HGVMP multiplayer project will be terminating with immediate effect. These past 6 months of doing the HGVMP project have been amazing, and a lot of it is down to your support but it has come to the point where we can no longer carry on.

We have decided to close down the project due to various reasons, one of which is we ended up with a single developer for the client and the website. As of late they have been swamped with personal client projects and can sadly no longer dedicate the time required to continue the project with us. With no developer(s) and no one stepping forward with an interest in development, we would have found it extremely difficult to continue onwards without major delays.

We did have an update announcement planned for earlier this week. We would still like to show the progress that was made, and hope it gives inspiration for others to possibly get a project of their own up and running.

The website was our main focus right now, built using a combination of HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, SASS, and VueJS. Our goal when building the website was to give our users something to do when they’re not on the servers, or if they’re out and about and fancy themselves a browse.

There are no images for this as it was all code at the time and no in-game images.

Built using XAML with C# and utilizing the MahApps metro library for design, our launcher was still in the very early stages where progress was halted due to not needing it right away. Features were still being discussed, so very little is represented in the image/video but at a basic level it would have allowed for;

• Launch commands
  
• Auto-updates (both game + launcher)

We are deeply sorry to each and every one of you that we have failed to provide you with an all new multiplayer modification. When we had comments from members of the public, there was a lot of anticipation for the modification as for some people it gave the opportunity for a fresh start or something different.

The project maybe picked back up in the future if we have the right amount of developers/resources.

If you have any questions regarding this decision, please post them below within the next 14 days and a member of the social team will be happy to respond.


Kind Regards,

The HGVMP Higher Management Team

Good day truckers,

We would like to apologise for the lack of updates and announcements regarding development of the multiplayer modification and our website. Unfortunately, we have lives outside of this and can't dedicate 24/7 to the project (as much as we would love to!), we hope you understand this. So with this announcement, we would like to update you on our progress of development.

The website is well on the way to being finished. 85% of the front-end (the design/theme) is now complete, with work being started on our forums. Once the forums are released, they will become our main hub of information where you can catch all of our latest updates and get involved in what you would like to see from us, and the mod.

The client itself is still in development to ensure the highest quality is given to our members, and the public. Unfortunately we have no definite release date for this part of the project, as starting from scratch for a multiplayer will take a while. We ask you not to be discouraged, as things like this take time to get right, so please bare with us as our developer(s) are working as hard as they can to get this out to you as soon as possible.

We would like to do this peacefully, as such we do not want to cause arguments or break up communities by creating a new multiplayer modification. Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion of what they think about us/other communities but we ask for you to not post these publicly. We are doing this to bring a fresh start for some people, a change in staff or just something different. At the end of the day you can choose whether to join our steam group, follow us on twitter or like us on Facebook. We are not forcing you to go on our multiplayer, if you prefer to use TruckersMP[truckersmp.com] that's fine, we just please ask that you respect both multiplayer modifications/communities and not to cause arguments.

• Can I be part of the team?
  Please look out for recruitment to open for positions. (We are not looking for admins until the mod is fully released so please do not ask.)
  
  
• What mods will we be supported and will promods be one of them?
  We are not confirming any mods at this moment in time, getting a stable mod is priority at this stage. Once we feel that we feel we can implement mods, we will start requesting permission/inviting mod authors.

For all of the latest updates follow us on all of our social media outlets:

Twitter
Steam group

We would like to thank you for your continued support and interest in this project. We know this may take a while for it to get up and running, but we ask you to stick with us and support us on this journey and at the end of it there is something for all of us to enjoy.

Kind Regards,
HGVMP Team
