Hey, long-haul truckers! The time has finally come and we cautiously are releasing Haulin' Oats into Early Access on Steam. So far we've had great feedback and bug reports from the community; thank you so much to all who have chipped in thus far. Hopefully the wider net of the general public will go the same way.
If you are curious about purchasing the game in the Early Access state, we highly suggest you check out our Known Issues thread before hitting that buy button. This game is still a work-in-progress and it has some quirks yet.
That being said, most of everything is in the game now: singleplayer, multiplayer, horn honking, all cards, all the music, and more. We have a healthy list of features to add yet and those will be rapidly built then shipped along with bug patches.
We hope folks new to the game will make some more great suggestions to improve the game!
