[ANSWERED][GP] The far future of TruckersMP

[djoh]

Like most other games/projects, TruckersMP will eventually reach a point where it's complete and there are no major features left to implement.

Now we all know about the Replication Framework and it's potential to bring AI traffic to the servers, but we also know that this is not the end of the road.

 

So the question is: what happens after the Replication Framework (including AI traffic) is complete?

Before you answer that: I know that answering this question might spoil a lot of plans (and you probably don't want to do that anyway), I thought of some less specific questions:

• How do you see TruckersMP in the 'complete' state?
• Will it be very different from what it is now? If so, do you think the current player base will like the transition?

 

I understand that this is a bit difficult to answer, but I think it's crucial for the community to have an idea of what to expect from TruckersMP in the coming years. Or we could just use it as a reference in the future to compare the plans with the actual result.

Hey,

 

It is hard for me to imagine TruckersMP being in a 'completed' state. I feel like there will always be new things to add to the game. 

 

We want to create a Multiplayer environment where we can do more than only the 'basic trucking' experience. Look at, for example, our Real Ops events and themed events. We have a lot of tickets in the backlog to add nice features to the game, but sadly they all depend on this replication framework to be finished.  It is not only AI traffic that depends on this. Our whole modification will use this system.

 

As for what we can expect ... this is dangerous for me to say, as I do not want to make false promises. As you know, AI traffic is one of the most requested features and we really want to bring it. We also want to bring more VTC-related features and the possibility to use custom modifications. There are more things but I will just keep it to this at the moment  

 

If the current player base will like these things? Well, it is hard to say ... We have seen in the past when a lot of people like something, a big group of others will not like it. It is sadly impossible to please everyone, but we will obviously do everything we can to keep everyone happy.
