This game has so much potential. It just needs more content like you said mack. Its definitely lacking large cities, better ai, and even bridges. Just needs time for it grow into a relaxing modern testdrive experience.
I'm really torn on this kind of game. For one, I don't play games just to work a second job. On the other hand though, how can they give actual weight and value to the cars if they just hand them over to you? The answer's there somewhere, but I don't know what it is.
@@arnox4554 I agree in regards to those sims that are so demanding that they really are a second job. If I want to do that I will get a real second job and a paycheck to go with it. When you aren't pressured to haul-ass and manage a crew and juggle real life problems within a game though, well then, that could be actual fun. A relaxed pace kind of getting the feel for a different line of work that you probably would never try in real life, or couldn't, has a certain appeal however. As someone that has driven truck for a living I do think this could be fun if you get to do the parts you enjoy but skip over the ones you don't and do it all at whatever pace you feel like. I agree with Mack that if this had AAA graphics and a larger world I think it could be GOTY material easy. Not that it would be in their lists, as it wouldn't even be on their radar, but it might be worthy at least.
@@arnox4554 It´s certainly not for everyone. To me, it´s the perfect after work relaxation fun. Slap on a radio station from the menus and just chill. Game also seems to have a super developer and it clearly has a bright future ahead of it. Oh and it´s damn cheap aswell.
I guy from Korea made this game. He joined a game company just to learn how to make games, quit after 14 years and made his own game. Hope it gets a console release. I’d support that.
Mack, I've been playing driving/racing games my whole life, it's my favorite genre of game. But I didn't realize before what a driving game could feel like until I played this game. I thought you were exaggerating, but this game really feels fantastic to play. Thank you for promoting these smaller developers that are delivering great games!
I just thought i'd copy and paste the Dev info from his web page. "Hello, I'm MrHwang from South Korea. I love driving games so much that I started to make my own game back in 2002 but failed to finish it. So I joined a game company and worked there for 14 years to learn how to make a game. And in summer 2020, I finally quit the job and start to make my dream game again." He seems like a chap that wants to make a good game that he is passionate about. And yet some people still wonder why indy games are where the gems are found....
As a part time Uber driver, a fantasy virtual world where the passengers are actually f****** ready with their big toes gripping the edge of the curb sounds like a good time.
Oh you mean like a call where you don’t have to pull into some poorly lit dock area with no one in sight and years of hollywood training immediately tells you the call is the trap of a serial killer? Yeah that’d be nice
@@marcomelbournedude, cabbies played themselves. Breath. Kind of hard to call providing a supply to a demand a “fake job”. Thats like calling snow plow contracting a “fake job” because the guy brought his own rig.
I must return to say that this game is intensely boring grinding in an empty world with zero challenge whatsoever. Mack is high on painkillers this game ain't worth 10$
This would be great to chill with in VR, so I hope it gets support eventually. The low-poly aesthetic would probably make this a great Quest 2 game also.
Sadly I don't think it would run well on a quest 2 VR games take a good amount of graphical power already, but this game on flatscreen at 1080p on my PC that has an rx 590 and a ryzen 7 1700 runs at 60 fps smooth, but in some areas dips down to 25 fps. They definitely would need to optimize it before doing anything with VR, although I do hope that they try.
imagine living in a world where triple A games and companies, who have millions in funds, get completely outclassed by a video game made by a tiny group of people with a passion. Oh wait, you don't have to imagine it.
Mack, I’m so glad you’re giving these small, unheard of games the recognition and praise they deserve. I completely agree with you that a vast majority of „gamers” nowadays will write this off purely because of graphics I also agree with you that most people want games to give them everything straight away I miss those old racing games when you’d start in a 150 brake hatchback And about immersion, I once saw some imbecile call RDR2 (one of the best games ever made, in my opinion) a „boring horse simulator”…
I fucking adore this channel and Mack. Thank you for saving me so much money and giving us your honest take on games. I've disagreed on several games but to each their own, still respect your opinion immensely. This smaller indie games are soo up my alley, thank you for putting them under a spotlight and showing them off. 🙏🏻 Thanks For everything you do Man. Cheers
Hey Mack! If you're into this stuff, I can recommend another early access game called Sailwind. It need more content and patching but it's really immersive and relaxing sailing the ocean, using navigation tools or just making short runs around the islands.
This is something I’m willing to try 100%. After the updates come I think that game will become a large franchise as long as it stays supported by the devs. Cool game I would have never known about.
The graphics are cute. They're fun. The style is enjoyable. We like cartoons. Not every game needs to be photorealistic. Only NPCs would dismiss this game because of graphics lmao
I rarely comment on videos, but I really wanted to say thank you! Ever since we lost TotalBiscuit (and his WTF Is?) series, your channel has become my first stop for learning about new indie and niche games in order to make my purchase decisions... Valheim was the first one (and got me subbed), then Mr Prepper, Going Medieval, and now MotorTown... And they've all been :chefkiss: marvelous! But more than just that, the way you review really helps me to figure out which *great* games simply aren't in my wheelhouse. There are plenty of Thumbs Up games that just aren't for me, and I really appreciate that your reviews aren't hyping them, or trying to make me like them just as much as you do, they just frame the style and substance of each game in a way that accurately represents the experience I'd be having if I played it. You seem like someone who understands the power of rhetoric, and yet you eschew it, and I respect that immensely.
I'm personally a big fan of American Truck Simulator, so this looks right up my alley. The developer says it has steering wheel support, and VR isn't a priority but is on the to-do list. Looks like an excellent game and I'll definitely be buying. Great video as always, Mack!
Mack isn't a game reviewer. He's a gamer who talks about games. Most times I enjoy listening to him talk about games but other times not so much. Ah well.
It seems like a nice game, I look forward to the full release when the map is better fleshed out and more features are in. Very promising. Hope you can get back to this when it's out, cheers Mack
Been playing Motor Town since the very first public demo build, fantastic game with engrossing gameplay mechanics. Indie devs are making the best games because they don't have to deal with greedy executives or stockholders. This is just pure game development in its purest form and I love it.
yes mack! i got this game running on my 2nd screen even while im working, doing truck deliveries in the background, its so great. in the options u can even cycle trough internet radio stations.
Mack ! .... This game is Astroneer on Earth ... Look at the map pins hovering , The way the guy walks & Jumps , The scenery . Nobody else sees it but I am 100% sure . Cracking game though . Get a flatbed truck & see how many parcels you can strap onto it . Grab pallets first then get small crates & boxes & pile them high ! Cruise around in a police car picking up hitchikers , Deliver sand & Cement . Drive the kids to school . Pick up broken down cars ... The list goes on . Had this game 10 days & already put 50 hours into it . Chilling while Listening to the Radio . Can't wait to see how this goes especially when the airport opens up (Wink)
If AAA made this game then you would only be able to drive trucks for delivery and every other driving type would be DLC. Oh and microtransactions for different car colours. It's so good to see things like this in the right area of the gaming industry.
It seems to me that single-creator games (or those with very small, closely knitted teams) have a huge advantage over AAAs. There's just no comparison really - you have a focussed vision, with no one coming in with their "own ideas" or disagreeing about how things should be. Look at stuff like Hades, Valheim, even Minecraft. All such brilliant games which came out of just a few people's minds.
Love your channel for these indie gems that would be so easy to overlook otherwise. Enjoy your angry rants but these vids are the ones that are the true value of your work for me.
Hey Man, dont usually post, but fair-play - this is a right little gem in the making. Was looking for something to play with the little lad, get the soundtrack going and we are lovin' it - great shout.
The game is incredibly relaxing. I bought it a few months back and played it pretty hard. I will say one thing though, the grind is real. It is enjoyable but it will get slow in progress quickly.
Thanks for that. I actually find that refreshing given how so many things today are so rushed and the leveling up is so unearned. Maybe this has too slow a pace in that regard, but I prefer it to lean more in that direction anyway. I enjoy really appreciating the new thing I bought after saving for it and I find it so much more satisfying that way, kind of like real life.
I Told you that you'll like it Mack! And yeah it's one person. Recently they've hired another person to help with the world building, but the actual game until now was made by one person.
Thanks for mentioning the wheel support, I was just about to write a comment asking. I play a lot of ETS2 and this looks right up my ally, might wait awhile for some more content, but gonna add it to my list.
Just played the demo and I am getting the full game next. I prefer games where I can earn the better vehicles rather than being given to me on a silver platter. I think it makes us appreciate the game more than those where you can speed through it. I prefer indie games like this and I hope more will come. Someday I am going to make a game myself as I like these type of games and I may do something related to railways. I love this game.
I may give this a try with mouse and keyboard. I have no desire for a "game controller", as I really don't like consoles, mostly due to the controls. I also can't really justify buying a wheel and pedals either as rarely as I have ever played a driving game. I did use to play this one that was not really driving but owning a trucking company and picking up regular contracts and side jobs and buying more and bigger trucks hiring drivers as you grew. It was a logistics game and I really loved it. It was a business simulator but without the need to manage employees which was perfect for me at the time. Even though the graphics are so simple in this one, I can tell already that the look of the driving appeared realistic otherwise, if that makes sense. Something about the physics of the motion when turning and accelerating, etc.. This also seems like it could have great potential for growth as a series. Just don't let the AAA companies get a hold of it, they'll incorporate rep and heat into your bank and,, well you know.
Yet again, Mack suggesting games I would never have known about, nice one, played the demo, grabbed it, great little game for the price, can't wait to see it mature.
Nice! This actually looks like pretty great. I love the way the game looks. I love low poly 3D stuff though. And +100 dude, this game looks like it's from the future compared to stuff I grew up with. Shit I've been bitten by the retro bug myself and have been really enjoying TheC64 device and all the C64 games around. There are so many great ones I missed. Point being, we can always count on you for a good no frills no bullshit review and this is one of them. Gonna give this a go! Thanks.
Imagine if instead of doing this in game, we actually got off our arses and did this irl, delivered goods, people, drove buses ect. And actually earned irl money! I like dreaming of crazy thoughts like that!
it's alright, about 5 hours in you've already done whats needed to be done, hopefully, the devs have a good roadmap for the direction they're going to take this game, ill keep an eye on it.
Just finished an indie game (Strange Horticulture) and it was absolutely fantastic. Have a look Mack. This game looks really nice, I am a sucker for the whole 'low poly' look. It has a demo too.... FANTASTIC!
I dont get games that are life simulator. If I loved driving and chilling so much i guess i'd be an uber driver or something. To each their own, play what you enjoy :)
The graphics IMMEDIATELY grabbed me, I love it. I think its because games are an escape into an alternate world. I DONT want games looking like they are Google Streetview. I see that every day. Thats why games like this, ATS & ETS have a certain charm to them. We dont need to have 8K photorealism where the manhole cover on a street uses 12GB of RAM.Oh and they have a DEMO - how often do you see the AAA clowns do that?! I am gonna get this game, thank you Mack!
I totally agree Mack, it’s painfully obvious to see these days indie games are made with love and triple A game companies are nothing more then giant money spinners.I think we’re gonna have to live with the fact there’s 2 races of gamers now, 1. squeaky 5-year-olds who get daddy’s wallet out every 5 minutes for a glittery turd. 2. Everybody else that actually enjoys a well-made, well balanced game.
Hey Mack, I really hope you're doing better, how's your arm Doing mate?, Also I hope you and your family and loved ones have an amazing year, you all truly deserve it mate!.
I still play TDU2 to this day, can't wait to see if Solar Crown will keep the same spirit... this one looks interesting. You may like Euro Truck Simulator 2, can open a business in Liverpool, cross the Euro tunnel and crash driving on the other side of the frogs, ehem I mean of the road ;)

I had bought it even before your video had finished! Can't wait to begin my new life.
Nice! This actually looks like pretty great. I love the way the game looks. I love low poly 3D stuff though. And +100 dude, this game looks like it's from the future compared to stuff I grew up with. Shit I've been bitten by the retro bug myself and have been really enjoying TheC64 device and all the C64 games around. There are so many great ones I missed. Point being, we can always count on you for a good no frills no bullshit review and this is one of them. Gonna give this a go! Thanks.
Colonel Failure liked it too, very much... Such a great little treasure and the best start into 22' Gaming...
Not for me. If i want to play a driving simulator, i would just pick my car and drive.
lol that wild Lada taxi at 7:43. It might be a Chinese asset flip, but it looks fun all right.
Mack's taste in video games is fundamentally different from mine, but I still like his reviews. They're honest.
Imagine if instead of doing this in game, we actually got off our arses and did this irl, delivered goods, people, drove buses ect. And actually earned irl money!
I like dreaming of crazy thoughts like that!
"Get into the world" reminds me of Atari 2600 and Spectrum 48k days 😊
Looks fantastic. I even think the stylised graphics are great.
it's alright, about 5 hours in you've already done whats needed to be done, hopefully, the devs have a good roadmap for the direction they're going to take this game, ill keep an eye on it.
So youve unlocked police? Tried all the roles?
@@TalonWren yup, did them all.
Just finished an indie game (Strange Horticulture) and it was absolutely fantastic. Have a look Mack.
This game looks really nice, I am a sucker for the whole 'low poly' look. It has a demo too.... FANTASTIC!
A driving game where you can use your indicators… finally!! I’ll buy this if it comes to PlayStation. Cheers Mack for the great review
This is my kind of game. Thanks mack for introducing it
I dont get games that are life simulator. If I loved driving and chilling so much i guess i'd be an uber driver or something. To each their own, play what you enjoy :)
The graphics IMMEDIATELY grabbed me, I love it. I think its because games are an escape into an alternate world. I DONT want games looking like they are Google Streetview. I see that every day. Thats why games like this, ATS & ETS have a certain charm to them. We dont need to have 8K photorealism where the manhole cover on a street uses 12GB of RAM.Oh and they have a DEMO - how often do you see the AAA clowns do that?! I am gonna get this game, thank you Mack!
I feel like this game would become an instant classic if it had mod support from the steam workshop
I would never find this game during a steam scout. Luckily you highlight these gems and now I consider buying it. Cheers Mack
Thanks for bringing this to my attention mack. I’ll be grabbing this one thanks.
this is what GTA RP is basically about without -voice chat -timebased punishments -swimming -emotes
as a car enthusiast this is pretty much my idea of zen
Edit: 8:30 nice choice of car.
I totally agree Mack, it’s painfully obvious to see these days indie games are made with love and triple A game companies are nothing more then giant money spinners.I think we’re gonna have to live with the fact there’s 2 races of gamers now, 1. squeaky 5-year-olds who get daddy’s wallet out every 5 minutes for a glittery turd. 2. Everybody else that actually enjoys a well-made, well balanced game.
I’d have never considered this based on the name but I’m tempted now.
Glad this game is getting some attention. I've been loving it!
Hey Mack, I really hope you're doing better, how's your arm Doing mate?, Also I hope you and your family and loved ones have an amazing year, you all truly deserve it mate!.
I still play TDU2 to this day, can't wait to see if Solar Crown will keep the same spirit... this one looks interesting. You may like Euro Truck Simulator 2, can open a business in Liverpool, cross the Euro tunnel and crash driving on the other side of the frogs, ehem I mean of the road ;)
Thrustmaster T300 with pedals and TH8A shifter is way beyond expectations.
