Terrastore underground depot concept art │ American Truck Simulator - Missouri DLC

One of the large custom depots I worked on for the ATS Missouri DLC (2025). Terrastore is an one of a kind underground storage facility, and its uniqueness meant a different approach to.. just about everything regarding concept art for it. First off - the sheer amount of things to design was massive, and second - they had to be exceptionally good from a game design (player experience) perspective. A poorly designed sign meant the player would get lost immediately in the vast network of dark underground tunnels - and we wanted everything but that. The result? Many, many concepts; trial and error, hours of testing... until we landed on designs we were finally happy with.
When it comes to my favourite of the concepts, however.. that would have to be the maps. They are 1:1 recreations of the actual in-game map of the each respective facility, so the player can actually stop the truck to see where they need to go before venturing forward. It's features like these that I enjoy working on the most - when assets and decals aren't just a copy and paste, but they're designed with a very specific purpose.
