I'm Aykut. I am a truck driver and a software developer who has been behind the wheel for years, personally experiencing the real-world logistical challenges, the long waits at border crossings, and the constant calculation of tolls and diesel fuel. Today, I am incredibly excited and proud to finally share Global Transit Manager with you—a project where I combined these two passions and have been meticulously crafting for a long time!
As you know, there are many truck simulators on the market. However, I wanted to create a true "Grand Strategy" experience where you step away from the steering wheel and sit in the boss's chair, managing that massive and ruthless logistical mathematics behind the scenes.
In this adventure, starting in a modest garage with a single second-hand truck, you won't just be going from point A to point B. Here is what awaits you:
🌍 Real-World Map and Macro Management: Map out your routes by calculating countries' tax rates, visa difficulties, and border crossing (customs) waiting times.
🚛 Fleet and Driver Psychology: Your drivers are not robots. Pay attention to tachograph rules and manage their fatigue levels. Otherwise, you'll be stranded on the road and face hefty fines.
📉 Ruthless Economy: Don't let the diesel costs of empty return trips (deadheading) burn a hole in your pocket. Track fluctuations in the second-hand market, use bank loans wisely, and build a global network by moving your company headquarters to the most profitable countries.
This is just the beginning of the road. Even though I have released the game on Steam, Global Transit Manager is a living project that will grow and evolve with your feedback. Please don't hesitate to share the situations you encounter while playing, any new ideas that come to mind, and any bugs you find with me in the Steam Community Hub.
Together, step by step, we will make this logistics network the biggest in the world. Thank you endlessly in advance for your support, your reviews, and for adding the game to your Wishlist.
Safe travels, and smooth roads ahead!
