Why has this game disappeared on steam? i get a completely other game when running it on steam? All of the game related pages on steam have disappeared and the game says its "HaydesInitiative.exe"
What did you mess up?
Sorry i didnt know anybody still cared, I had no luck with getting help to finish such an complicated project and was very burned out. I was going to swap the key but steam would no let me, They "retired" that project to give me a credit for a diffrent game. You are one of the only people Who has spoken to me about it.
I hope i can contine in the future with some help hopefully.
I dont know, if you know, but i have been and still am a professional software engineer for the last two decades. TBH, i never made games, but I think I have experience in managing projects (at least for my company). Maybe we could work together on a more or less voluntary basis and improve the game step by step...
Greetings Wolfgang

I have changed to working on this game on the Steam platform. It will be in early access very soon.
Thanks for the interest. Im i don't think il be adding any soft body physics. but damaging vehicles and wheels falling off will be.
ive made the game Multiplayer and Im putting the game out on steam very soon if you are interested.
You can have a beta key if you want just let me know.
How are the controls of the tipper lorry? i cannot open and close the bucket!
Tipper control is "T" and "G". Thanks for the interest. Im putting the game out on steam very soon, with Multiplayer, if you are interested.
You can have a beta key if you want just let me know.
I know, how the tipper works, but the bucket? I cant open and close it.
I am interested in this beta key.
oh you mean the grabber, I forget because its not had that for a while in the later updates.

Join the discord server and il give you a key, I cant find any way to PM you through itch.
like the game.
but it seems like the shovel on the frontloader always rotates up, even when i rotated it down all the way
Ive seen that problem with some controler/joystics plugged in. I only have a Xbox controler so its hard to set it up for others. Thanks for the interest. I am nearly there with making the game COOP MP. But ive had to take a break to earn some money :) Check back in a couple months.
Hi there looks very promising, unfortunately i cant test it. description says platform available : windows,macos and linux but when i extract it in the folder i only have a windows exe and no linux files or mac.

Hello, thanks for the interest and sorry for the problem. This is my first public game and i have been stupid when i was thinking about this aspect.
I am working creating Linux and mac builds now. I would greatly appreciate feedback on these as i only have a windows pc to test on.
Thanks again
Hi JM-CS,
Thank you for your fast reply (time). Np :) , i would love to give you some feedback soon as the linux version is uploaded (i don´t have macos) so you can count on me ^^
I wish you an successful week
Greets
I have posted the Linux build. I hope everything works if not let me know il get it fixed asap.
Hi there thanks for the effort :D.
Ive tested the linux version overall it looks very good,i like especially the mechanics,but the mouse look doesn't works correctly doesn't matter if i change settings,keeps not work correctly.
Big praise for your work and you told me this is your first game(release) so. about fix take your time ^^ maybe you can fix it next version because maintaining various platform is more work.
Do you mean the free look when in driving somthing? because that requires to hold a right click. That input could be a problem.
Nice
Thanks, please feel free to give feeback and ideas if you have any.
