It’s time for another development update, and we’re not slowing down: your feedback, combined with our own ambitions, keeps driving the project forward, as we work to make Truck Mechanic: Dangerous Paths even better.

NPCs
One of the biggest changes you’ll notice is the addition of NPCs across all maps. They will breathe life into the game’s world, with some being tied to quests and others serving to make the environment feel more alive. You’ll be able to interact with all of them, though don’t expect to find everyone in a chatty mood: some might be too busy or appear less than friendly, but each person you meet is going to have a logical in-universe role to play. This layer of interaction and detail is designed to deepen the immersion and make exploration feel more rewarding.
Lighting
Another key addition is improved lighting, especially when it comes to nighttime navigation. Lamps have been installed around every map, providing a realistic glow that not only enhances the atmosphere but also makes it easier to spot objects and find your way in the dark. Whether you’re crossing a narrow bridge or maneuvering through dense foliage, these beacons will be there to guide you while maintaining the game’s rugged realism.
And more!
Finally, our map designers continue to raise the bar by polishing up road connections and ensuring smoother transitions that feel more natural as you drive. We’ve also added new objects and environmental details, making each locale distinct and visually engaging. Exits and key paths are now better marked to help with navigation without sacrificing the overall sense of adventure. Beyond these highlights, we’ve also revisited areas that needed a touch-up, fixing issues and enhancing textures to meet our ever-rising quality standards.
Stay tuned for more updates and keep on trucking! If you like what you see, consider adding Truck Mechanic to your Steam Wishlist!
