Update Speculation thread

No you don’t have to leave forums the challenge is to not reply

 

The devs have already confirmed that the name change was merely to prevent conflict with old T-Series mods. They did this with the Covet (from "hatch" to "covet") and the Bolide (from "super" to "bolide")

I greatly failed at this challenge

 

I didn't see that

 

Wait so you tried it? Lemme tell ya, the 2 day challenge was way harder than the 4 day challenge. I’m guessing 8 days will be easier. You can start with 2 days if ya want

 

Tuesday is tomorrow.

 

If no tezer

 

there is no reason not to have a teaser at this point. its been like 3 months

 

considering that modders have made drivable mattress, wood crate, and haybale; I'm suprised no one has made a drivable large tire, a monowheel would be really cool.

 

you know what, tractor tire sport

 

One thing that would be near impossible to tease is the official introduction of Vulkan renderer, as there is no way to tease it without giving it away straight away.

 

how do you tease that



like at all

 

Tomorrow is NOT tusadey

 

show a picture of an aston martin vulcan? idk

 

The only way to tease it would be something like a screenshot of the main menu, and you are prompted to figure out what's different, but as soon as people found out, we would all know exactly what the update is. The problem with is is that the whole point of a teaser is to not reveal the update, but simply tease a small part of the update.

Tuesday

 

I have a feeling the devs are getting a bit cheeky

 

Speculation:

Agent_Y made this proof of concept of a tracked vehicle a while ago

https://www.beamng.com/resources/tracked-fpu-wydra.25212/

and is now part of the BeamNG team. If we assume the speculation about an heavy machinery themed update to be accurate, it would make a lot of sense to have some tracked heavy vehicles.

BeamNGs impressive physics engine could probably simulate tracked vehicles better than any other competitor which would also give it yet another unique selling point, as all games I know that have both wheeled and tracked vehicles tend to suffer from poor simulation of tracks.

 

Stoat Muldoon, one of the vehicle artists, also made the mark 1 tank mod a while back, so that precedent's been there for a while.
Tdev's old teaser post was also directly referencing an excavator, and wheeled excavators are far less common than the tracked variety, so that would likely be planned to use tracks.

Straying offtopic for a bit, if they do implement tracks at some point, I'd love to see something like a WW2 M3 halftrack truck, I'm not aware of any game that's ever simulated the handling of a halftrack realistically.

 

It would be way damn better than Hell Let Loose's half-tracks, and that game is a war game!

 

Hmm, new header picture
