Hey, long-haul truckers! It has been rather quiet for a while but we're cranking out the 1.0 release today and finally pulling the game out of early access! There are still some updates to come such as rebuilding the networking code and more bug hunts.
Other than engine upgrades, some quality-of-life changes, and some bug fixes; most importantly the addition of the driver roster so you can dismiss bots (or players) that happen to get stuck on a turn. At least until the causes of those glitches is figured out; and possibly kept long after that. Leaderboards have also been moved over to Steam instead of the custom API.
Some of the expanded features have been scaled back though, such as racing/betting, so they won't be added later on. Controller support and Steam Deck support should be rolling out later this year though. Couch co-op may still make the cut too.
Here is an almost complete list of changes for your viewing pleasure:
