Hello there, Emperors!👋
Phew, the last few weeks were super busy for us all at Lichthund - day by day we've been introducing bigger and smaller changes, we've hosted two Open Playtests and we've been to a bunch of different cool events! We haven't even had time to have a proper sit-down with y'all and talk about customization that you might have already checked out during playtests!
Let's fix that!
What's one of the most important things regarding building a brand? Making sure that you look the part! Customization was one of the tools that you've demanded the most and for a good reason - it's always nice to drive a truck looking just the way you want it to look or be able to change the look when you get bored of it. Customization was one of the priorities for our team and believe me when I say that we've spent many chats and discussions about the direction we want to take with it. Currently we're happy to say that our customization tool should indeed allow you to create trucks full of personality resonating with your own unique personal style!
Truck is on display, you know what to do - start clicking everywhere and see what kind of visual makeover can you give to your mobile work station! We've categorized the options you have at your disposal into several categories - trust me you'll want to go into each of them and change some things.
Take a look at the list of options available in the truck customization:
- Parts
- Roof Props
- Trim
- Accessories
- Colors
- Decals
- Drawing
Your first steps will probably be all about changing the overall shape of your truck. We're giving you several options in that regard and you'll be mostly interested in "Parts", "Roof" and "Trim". Those three options will let you change some of the shapes of your truck. Imagine yourself walking through a dark alleyway and suddenly seeing a truck's dark silhouette... don't worry, trucks don't rob people but they do offer tasty food! Anyway - that particular silhouette will look differently depending on your choices made right in these three tabs.
We have several options awaiting you in the tabs - and as we are still working on the game and the changes you might expect them to change in numbers and possible options. I'm particularly proud of the roof options - they are very distinct and easily identifiable so your food truck will be recognizable even from a larger distance!
Accessories will let you add some extra elements to the walls of your truck. A single sleek speaker to let everyone audibly know that you're driving nearby? A handy neon-lights to illuminate the night and transform your truck into a beacon of hope for all hungry midnight-dwelling partygoers? Browse, select and use them as you see fit!
Keep in mind that accessories' colours can also be modified to better suit your chosen truck theme. Experiment with them to find the right look for your truck!
Last but definitely not least we've got options related to colours - painting, drawing, decals and stickers! Colors can easily influence the atmosphere and mood of your customers - and we know that we all have our own favorites when it comes to them. Through these options you'll be able to enhance the overall mood of the truck and the vibe it gives off.
We do however know that sometimes too much is not good - that's why when it comes to painting we're giving you the option to choose whether you want to stick to an easier, less complicated choice and select the overall color pattern/use simple color scheme edition options or dive into deep and tackle advanced color scheme editing options. Just keep in mind that we're using the word "advance" for a good reason - you'll literally be able to edit tens out of tens of different parts of your truck!
Decals and stickers will add something extra to the visuals of your truck - we've created several super cute stickers that you can freely use on many parts of your truck. I absolutely adore them but I wonder which one of those showcased before do you like the most?
Also - for those of you who are artistically inclined we also included the option to directly paint on the truck. We know, we know, it's risky business, you can after all literally draw ANYTHING and we know what that means but just do remember that customers will also be able to see your creations! 😂
