  OVERHAUL DEVLOG#3

  Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. The Caravanners Overhaul update is progressing at an intense pace. I want this game to become the best among caravan games, and that’s why it takes time.It took around 1.5 years to prepare Caravanners for Early Access. As you know, instead of making small updates, I decided to completely rebuild the map due to engine related issues. Along with the map, many other aspects of the game are being reworked. As you can imagine, it’s not possible to rebuild a game that took 1.5 years in just 2–3 months. This project is very important to me, and I want it to be as good as possible. That’s why it takes time. I’m currently working at a very intense pace, focusing on details, and the process is going very well. Why aren’t there updates for the current version of the game? I had already made many updates to the current version based on your feedback. Right now, I’m building a completely new, more detailed, and more immersive map from scratch. Since the map is entirely different, the old mission locations and money-making systems no longer fit the new structure. Therefore, these systems also need to be redesigned according to the new map. In short, along with the new map, many core systems must be updated to match it. That’s why the map will be completed first, and then the mission and economy systems will be adjusted accordingly. After that, a large, all in one overhaul update will be released. What is the current status?The map has been completely redesigned from scratch.It is slightly smaller than before, but much denser and more detailed.The city has been rebuilt from scratch and is larger than the previous one.Forests and biomes are now much more detailed and higher quality.Highways and road types have been diversified and improved.Environmental models have been remade with more detail.Optimization improvements have been made.Trees will now be visible from kilometers away.NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR support have been added.The playe...

  OVERHAUL DEVLOG #2

  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41597188/c7065098791ae5e611bd1416c13220fcaf577141.jpg Caravanners Overhaul development is ongoing. As you know, the game is being rebuilt from the ground up, and in the previous announcement I showcased the revamped city and improved graphical details. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1609370/view/604181090672836726?l=english Currently, the Caravanners map is being reconstructed at a much higher level of quality. I’ve started creating new biomes, natural environments, and visually appealing landscapes. Designing organic, non artificial looking environments takes time, but it is absolutely worth it. My goal is to build a layered world where you can experience beautiful views everywhere you go. Caravanners is being renewed at a significantly higher quality compared to the Early Access version. Along with the map, many aspects such as mechanics, UI, and core systems are being redesigned and expanded with new features. All images are realtime in game screenshots, with no post processing or edits applied. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41597188/5c22607d268bb991a84234eeee2635b3e15bf345.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41597188/2684c99a616f9dcf0600156868572ab3b09ae7b2.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41597188/bfba3272b94f1dad09a25e8fb5ea1a9bb695911a.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41597188/a25752a36ad70460c342011c2eb75f42702a7480.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41597188/3d753e88dc323f1ff329d32e02841d32d86cd51c.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41597188/da3d10a1865c4cb10444d299a85bc32b78b2b480.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41597188/bcd1f0af58a9397e3a7f15f5bdd66d45a985973a.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41597188/29cfadc77d61c12cc51c75047a86311564d6d80b.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41597188/5b67cc9f59f18659ff7a8d94079cc31a09e8b234.jpg --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- City visuals shared in the previous announcement. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41597188/8ec4ead97f204d8d4c9a831f38f449353b3f6172.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41597188/84c07801656843afb9585aa9e8175803548e70a6.jpg {STEA...

  OVERHAUL DEVLOG #1

  HELLO I am Akif Akdemir, the solo developer of Caravanners.I developed the Early Access version of Caravanners over the course of 1.5 years. The game was released in Early Access on October 31, 2025, and it has now been in Early Access for 3.5 months.Taking your feedback into account, I published 8 updates within the first 1.5 months after release.After 1.5 years of intense solo development, working day and night, followed by a very busy first 1.5 months of post-release updates, I reached a point where I needed physical and mental rest. Throughout December, I focused solely on resting and reflecting.Month 1 – November: Released multiple updates. Month 2 – December: Took time to rest. Month 3 – January: Returned to development with full intensity. What am I working on right now?I am currently rebuilding Caravanners from the ground up. MAP REWORKI am recreating the entire map from scratch. The new map will be more modern, better optimized, higher quality, more detailed, and built with longterm sustainability in mind. The improved optimization of the new map also enhances the multiplayer experience.Why not just improve the existing map? Why build a new one?Yes, adding improvements to the existing map would have been easier in the short term. However, due to optimization issues caused by the game engine, rebuilding the map became the only viable long-term solution even though it represents a major loss of time and financial cost for me. The current map was built using Unreal Engine’s World Partition system in order to optimize a large open world. World Partition improves performance by streaming distant objects in and out based on region. However, about two months before Early Access release, serious optimization issues began to appear. I was forced to apply temporary fixes just to keep things playable, but those solutions were not sustainable. At one point, even adding a few trees to the map would cause a 5–10 FPS drop. Due to issues within the World Partition system, ...

  UPDATE 8

  This update serves as a foundation for the upcoming major update. Up until now, I have collected a large amount of feedback from you and made multiple improvements based on it. At the moment, I am continuing to work on a major update built directly around your feedback.With the major update, the optimization, save system, mission system, and multiplayer systems will be completely reworked. You will experience a renewed and significantly more stable version of Caravanners.Preparations based on the most important player feedback:Language support issues: FixedMultiple save system request: In progressSave delete problem: Completely reworkedOptimizationOn the current map, due to engine-related cache issues, the game relies more heavily on the CPU instead of fully utilizing the GPU. As a result, some systems experience low FPS. To solve this properly, the map is being completely rebuilt.MapA brand-new, more stable map is being created from scratch. It will feature a more detailed design and significantly better optimization. This change will also fundamentally improve performance for both multiplayer and single-player gameplay.GameplayPlayers have stated that in-game guidance is not sufficient. I understand now that instead of total freedom, players want clearer direction but not mandatory guidance. It should be optional and player driven. This is something I care deeply about, so I am preparing major gameplay improvements.New systems will include clearer progression indicators, stats, and menus that help players understand their current situation and next steps. The goal is to completely remove the feeling of “What should I do now?” and replace it with a system where players always understand their progress and objectives.Alongside these changes, new ways to earn money and additional features are also coming.In shortCaravanners is moving toward a much better version during Early Access, shaped directly by your feedback. I will continue updating the game, and updates will...
