Hello SnowRunners!

Today, VladSib72 joins us to answer our questions and give us a glimpse behind the modder!

I’ve followed this series since 2014. The game about heavy (and small) trucks struggling through the wilderness to get the job done became my favorite. So there was no doubt I had to play SnowRunner on release.

With my first PC back in 2002. One of the CDs was the Insane racing game. Free roaming, progressive physics, vehicle deformation, fun challenges - all this gave me many, many hours and I remember that spirit of freedom when playing the Runner series too.

I live in the west Siberian countryside. Celebrated my 33rd birthday a few days ago. I'm not involved in any significant job, so I just live a boring life (especially after the pandemic began) and watch the world's things going. Travelling is maybe the only thing I really like.



First, to drive new vehicles. Lately, to bring life to forgotten trucks. I started to play custom maps in the original game of the series and at the same time learned the truck xml structure. Later I built a few mods from scratch, but only for my own use because the rumor about "MudRunner 2" had already spread, so that stuff was never released.

Yes I have a finished mod project called 'Man's Work' for an old strategy Civilization III, with a ton of machines from around the world.

Rebalance Trees & Stumps mod. Though I was never able to get it to work. My top respect to vehicle mods that are exclusive to SnowRunner and can’t be found in any other games.

My mod list is still short and vehicles are unusual. I'd suggest waiting for the next mod I'm going to add, that's a very common-style truck as most in the game. Speaking of published mods, start with the smallest one, the SUMB.



Fully functional interior cabin as a potential addition. A dream is the random map generator.

The extreme growth of game content compared to MudRunner. Also remember how I said Wow! sitting in a teammate’s truck in multiplayer. This new trick with synchronization was really unexpected to me.

To communicate or cooperate. Gain experience from others, if possible. I’d say it’s the fastest way to make things work. I'm saying this because my folly to work solo on everything costs me a lot of time.



One project is in progress, but my summer modding activity was low, I’m sorry to admit. Support for my published mods after every game update, if needed, is my highest priority.

I’m not interested in driving in real life, I prefer to travel as a passenger. But if I decide to have a car someday, it would certainly be a pickup, perhaps the newest or unused Hilux. Should I say my favorite in-game vehicle is a Chevy CK1500?



Oh God, a helicopter cosplay, that's what I want! Now it is my fantasy... Thanks for the questions!

If you have questions you'd like to see added to these interviews, feel free to suggest them and we may add them! 🙂

Here are a list of the changes for this version:
- Now it's possible to skip text by holding the "continue" button (Z on Keyboard, A on Xbox controller), no more mashing.
- Xbox controller is now natively supported. Game properly displays buttons for the input you're using.
- Optimized collision calculation. This should make it easier for lower-end computers to run the game.
- Optimized lighting in some busy areas. This should minimize frame-drops.
- Small bug fixes.

As always, feel free to give us feedback. The game is still early in development, so if there's something you'd like to see fixed, now is the chance!

Welcome, Cultists, to the 2nd edition of Fan Art from Beyond!

This time, we’re happy to present a few wonderful paintings by Sabinian Moonstone. This picture here is just a teaser. Due to the 18+ nature of these pieces, we posted the full gallery on our Discord. Join us here.



Sabinian is an exceptional artist and was kind enough to allow us to put his works in Lust from Beyond. If you’re up for an explorer’s challenge, find them in the game!

Do you have an artist in you?

We’ve received a great deal of fantastic art pieces from you after our first call. We’re thrilled and shocked to see how creative and talented you are. Yet, we always crave more!

Send us your works to fanart(at)moviegames.pl, and they’ll most likely go to our publishing schedule.

For today’s offer, we’ve prepared a series of Battle-Hardened bundles for three German progression MBTs, including the Leopard 2AX. These discounted bundles contain Gold as well as the Battle-Hardened status, which will turn your Progression vehicle into a semi-Premium one by increasing its Credit income, Experience income, and by improving its matchmaking quality so that you meet lower Tier opponents in battle than usual, much like Premium vehicles do.



The discounted Battle-Hardened bundles are available for the following vehicles:

• Leopard 2AX Tier 10 MBT (50% discount)
• Leopard 2A6 Tier 9 MBT (45% discount)
• Leopard 2A5 Tier 8 MBT (35% discount)

Please note that if you do not own the vehicle in question, you will receive the Battle Hardened status price in Gold instead.



We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
