Under the Hood: Reimagining Legacy Assets

by London

Since the release of Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, the processing power of personal computers has made some serious advancements. In turn, we've continually brought updates to both our titles to introduce new technology and techniques, which has allowed us to introduce higher levels of visual fidelity to our content. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/1789c1232b5ffd3f120da594f95c1c51be5255c4.jpg One such rework that has been happening over the last couple of years is the 'reimaging of legacy assets', which aims at enhancing the quality and optimization of game models that have started to look outdated and inconsistent with newer additions. The project team consists of two people, Pavel C and Robert P, both of whom we've had the pleasure to talk to about this project to share with you today. We will let them introduce themselves! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/c76663de716fbdef5e648d86daa5ae63ed167991.jpg "My name is Pavel C. I've been working at SCS Software for about three y...

Today we're happy to share with you a look at some of the forests that have been virtually implemented in our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2! Be-leaf us, you're going to enjoy this blog. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/1f5c7a6e04b60d3429049f93b24f8237ba8da3c1.jpg The northern regions of Finland, Sweden, and Norway all share similar forest biomes. However, when traveling from the south to the most northern areas of these regions, you'll be able to spot some differences in how these forests have grown. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/6861aadb982a433e11c6f2437d21bf3a2a26a551.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/b84e453986fb2f6759a8c76f71bdca7f0cc60dfc.jpg In the northernmost areas of the region, the forests are characterized by their sparse, open landscapes.

Greece: Nature to Admire

by London

Greece boasts an immensely diverse amount of nature and landscapes, from rugged mountains and lush forests to serene islands and sparkling coastlines. In our upcoming Greece DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, you'll have the opportunity to admire some of the gems that this country has to offer. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/82d51034d2ca302c7df8fde322b05f0fe86486ed.jpg With a majority of the country's climate being predominantly Mediterranean, much of Greece is quite dry. However, Greece also has a wide range of micro-climates and local variations, due to its mountainous terrain. This in turn allows a wide range of vegetation to flourish in Greece, which our team has worked hard to represent in this DLC, including cypress, palm, and oleander trees and, of course, large olive orchards that exist throughout the country. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/ce3e7cb886001e18ee7552c5b6e5de28ee56aa47.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/a25c7ea3004a8a9f706a3d662983b150f789e8af.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/1df539...
