[Game -> Interview] - More info on <a href="http://wikipocalypse.duckandcover.cx/in ... le=Aleksey Tchetsnikh">Person: Aleksey Tchetsnikh</a> | More info on <a href="http://wikipocalypse.duckandcover.cx/in ... title=Hard Truck: Apocalyptic Wars">Game: Hard Truck: Apocalyptic Wars</a>

The hillariously badly-named post-apocalyptic RPG Hard Truck has <a target="_self" href="http://www.ggmania.com/full.php3?show=5728">an interview up at GGMania</a>. It's with Aleksey Tchetsnikh, writer and lead
designer on the game.
<blockquote>
GGMania: Is there anything else you'd like to add about the RPG elements in
the game?

Aleksey Tchetsnikh: 
Ex Machina is not only about upgrading your truck and
making it a juggernaut, but also about communication, exploration and
investigation. The players who prefer action, will get action, while those who
enjoy exploring the world, will get plenty of opportunities to do it through
dialogs with numerous NPCs and books that reveal the secrets of the lost
civilizations.

GGMania: What kinds of enemies will the player have to face in Hard Truck:
Apocalyptic Wars?



Aleksey Tchetsnikh: 
There are several powerful and less powerful groups
fighting for influence in different regions of Ex Machina world. Each group has
its own variety of cars and combat tactics to fulfill their aims. The player
will fight with different types of military machines, heavy trucks, deadly
robots and fast scavenger vehicles, not to mention extra powerful bosses. 
</blockquote>
Nice to see the questions referring to Hard Truck and the answers talking about Ex Machina. Real smooth, guys.

WTF is up the the trucks? Why fucking trucks? To appeal to the redneck market? I mean, yeah I liked trucks when I was fucking 10 years old but this shit is embarassing. Go into your game store and ask for a copy of "Hard Truck". You'll sound like a fucking mouth-breathing shit.

Ex Machina was such a cooler name.

Whats post apoc about it except the logo they riped of from fallout. Looks like your trucking in a freaking rainforest on screenshots.

Who says the Apocalypse has to make the planet a desert?

Haris · Post by **Haris** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 3:00 am

Well at least it should be burned down jungles. Not all green with lots of green grass fields.

Well to my understanding, the apoclypse just means doom for mankind. It could just be possible that mankind was wiped out by a genetically engineered virus that didn't affect foilage or something. I have no idea about the backstory because this game doesn't sound too great or anything, but ugh, just to say "It's possible."

Voice of reason, as always, congratulations Walt. I'm eagerly awaiting our lovely little planet turning into a heat battery. Can't wait for this one to be more like Venus.

IT'S A SCORCHER TODAY !

Hard Truck... it's almost as someone came up with this name as a joke.

And the Apocalypse doesn't HAVE to involve explosions or meteor impacts... hell, in Day of the Triffids the world ended because everyone went blind.

Is the movie worth anything?

Could be a title of a porn flick... "HARD TRUCK starring Rocco Siffredi and Jenna Jameson in hot on-the-road action!"

Porn flicks usually have better and funnier names.

And guys with big moustaches and huge....wrenches come to fix the plumbing.

Sounds like the army.

Hello, Guys!
I'm from Targem, the developer team of Hard Truck: Apocalyptic Wars.
It was kind of useful to read this forum and hear your opinions about the name... So, it just doesn't sound good to American and British people?
Was Ex Machina better?

I would also like to invite you to the website of the game:

There are the description of the game, the screenshot gallery and links to some of our interviews. I'd be happy to anser any questions you have and hear your constructive criticism.

Saying things in Latin makes everything better. Even sex.

Fez · Post by **Fez** » Tue Apr 26, 2005 2:13 pm

Hard Truck is a terrible name, please call it something else, for your own benefit.

S4ur0n27 · Post by **S4ur0n27** » Tue Apr 26, 2005 2:19 pm

Especially sex.

Crystal, I think you won't get any constructive criticism here, especially about a truck RPG.

I think the game looks interesting, though definately ExMachina was a better name IMO...
