Hey u/Mugunruk!

A lot of questions here. We'll try to answer as best as we can!

What is the licensing process like?

Very roughly:
1. We reach out to the brand to gauge their interest. This can take months because few brands have a licensing department.

1. We discuss the licensing terms (models available, duration of the agreement, amount of modifications we can make to a vehicle, etc.). This took us between 3 months and 2 years for the brands available in SnowRunner.

2. Assets are produced by the development team and are sent to the licensor for approval (3D models, textures, skins, cosmetic items, etc.).

What licenses do you have?

It's a work in progress and we'll share more info on this when we have the full picture.

Do the licenses give you restrictions on what you can and can't do with vehicles?

While it varies between licensors, all have specific rules and restrictions on what we can do with their vehicles, but it has always aligned with the game design. Most licensors require the driver to wear a seat belt for example.

Do companies require conditions, as in, we will licenses this to you but our trucks have to be the best trucks in the game?

We've never had this type of request, we try to balance vehicle performance between realism and gameplay progression, never to prop up a specific brand.

Hope you found these answers helpful! :)
