Who are the Truck Gang?

Now then: who are the truck gang?

Let’s start with GC-53AN, or “Ground”, the player character - who’s a stoic, pretty direct guy-robot. He inherited an MSSIRT from a human operator, and parts of that may have rubbed off on this deadpan fella. You somehow struck lucky when waiting for a routine check-up by meeting OA-R8YE (Orby), and then... well you just kept in touch, then kept chatting, and now you two are close boyfriends 🤖💌🤖

But what about the other robots?

Well, starting with (my favourite):

Who is usually kept in line (but in a gentle way) by:

Now Jamie-Jane is a pretty old lady. But she isn't the oldest 'bot on the crew, that mantle goes to:

But who's the 'youngest' of the lot?

One interesting idea we toy with in-game is the idea of "Fascinations", where robots develop a thing they get extremely interested in. This can sometimes be lost, or dulled, or plain switched after a routine refurbishment occurs. These 'refurbs' occur every 5 years - the healthy lifetime of a normal robot's wetware. Garamond is a crew-member who recently went through that:

And finally, we have one last member:

And that’s it! It’s been long enough that I genuinely don’t recall when we brought in the truck gang characters, but you can thank spdrcstl for that. I know I had fun drawing their portraits.

Anyways. That's another blip in the timeline leading up to release (on APRIL 22ND), hope you all are hype!

Happy fixing.
