Trucksim is on hold right now. I’m reading news and even did couple videos but rarely open games. It is still some reasons for that – luck of free time and motivation. I’m trying to balance my personal life with this hobby project, and that naturally slows things down.
The channel is no longer growing the way I once expected. To be honest, I feel somewhat dependent on YouTube’s algorithms and the uncertainty of ad revenue. Income from YouTube and the blog is quite small, and Patreon is still at $0.
Because of that, I’ve decided to dedicate more time to my personal life and reduce the amount of high-effort editing and complex guide scripting.
About the Guide Series
For those who follow the channel for guides, I currently have three main series:
I don’t have specific plans yet for the first two. I tried 1.59 open beta for ATS but not on 100% there and waiting for Illinois DLC. Hidden roads is also on pause despite I have numerous new roads in ATS but not consolidated them all. Map Combos are obviously are waiting for the final releases of both games and mods update so they will not return very fast. Ans since I plan to reduce the number of setups (and therefore videos), I will probably start with something bigger and more comprehensive than other parties. I don’t plan to rush out a combo setup just to be first. I’m not interested in clickbait or quick tricks to gain views. Instead, I will release a combination setup that I personally enjoy and would actually use myself — even if that means it comes out later and gets fewer views.
So for now:
No dates.
No commitments.
And no answers to questions like, “When will the 500-map combo be available?”
When it’s ready — and when I’m truly satisfied with it — I’ll share it.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
