Oovee Game Studios is Kickstarting a unique simulator in which players take on the role of a Russian trucker during the latter era of the Soviet era from 1980-1990, Spintires.
The challenge is that the player is completely dependent on their own wits, having to rely on a compass, a map and landmarks. Supplied with a truck, players must use a claw crane to load the truck with logs then navigate the loaded truck mostly offroad trails, without losing cargo, becoming stuck in the mud or depleting all of the fuel reserves.
Players can win “Skill Points” by successful delivery of Cargoes (more is better), not inflicting cargo damage and not wasting too much fuel. Bonus points include finding secret crates and finding the most territory.
The Kickstarter for Spintires is looking to raise £40,000 and has already raised 3/4 of the amount with 9 days left.
