Lastly, there’s lots of exciting content coming up, so can anyone guess where these are? Posted in Add-ons, American Truck Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator 2 | Tagged American Truck Simulator, Euro Truck Simularot 2, Middle East Add-on, Release
Management of releases is easier to do with less new content in them.More frequent releases also makes the map more stable, preventing double bug-fixing jobs in the various map areas we work on.This should lead to bugs being discovered earlier, thus improving the quality of the mod. Smaller releases let us spread out content for testing over time, allowing testers to focus more on smaller areas.This means that every new version will have something new for you, the community, to enjoy and to make the effort of downloading the new updates worth it. Content will go out as soon as it is finished, providing new content in every version.
Moving away from big releases stops this backlog.
In order to further smooth our release process and workflow, we have decided to move towards adding content in each compatibility update – in short, more medium-sized releases. Currently, we have a rather varied release system, with a mix of compatibility updates, medium-sized updates and the big ‘2.x0’ releases.
Future releasesĪs a team, we have been discussing how to structure our future ETS2 releases. Similarly with beta testers, if you’d like to help tackle all of the pesky bugs in our maps, be sure to report in detail on our forum where we can then pick the most enthusiastic and dedicated users to join our testing team. We can then assess the best people to join our team! If you have aspirations to join our developer team, please showcase your work on our forum or on our discord server so we can give valuable feedback and help grow your skills in mapping and/or modelling. In the convoy stream we mentioned we are still looking for more fantastic developers and beta testers, and even moderators to join our team. We had fun live-streaming it and hope you enjoyed the drive! We’d like to thank our new event manager SvartWolf for helping organise the event, and thanks also to everyone from TruckersMP for their help. We hope to hold more of these convoys in future and have already gathered some valuable feedback from the event. If you missed our stream you can watch it here. We are glad a lot of people turned up to drive and of course watch the live streams of not just us, but other members of the community. On the 11th June we hosted what we think turned out to be (despite a couple hiccups) a very successful community convoy, our 2nd ever.
