Original postAfter almost one year of implementing community-fed feedback, fixing bugs and polishing with bleeding fingers, Hypertrain is now ready to exit Early Access! All the important systems are working (e.g. multiplayer) and the pillar gameplay features have been added.
Thanks to everyone who helped me achieve this! I develop this game in my spare time while having a full day job, which can be demanding energy-wise sometimes. But your enthousiasm (next to my own ːsteamhappyː) keeps me motivated!

Now follows the list of changes brought by v1.0:

Original postGet ready for the first update of 2019!
This update focuses on Production Facilities, Multiplier Cards, a multiplayer matchmaking server and many quality of life improvements.
MAJOR NEW FEATURES
Production Facilities
Production Facilities are special settlements that do not appear on the map. If you manage to find and hook up a Production Facility you are rewarded with one of three types of Multiplier Cards (see below).
Multiplier Cards
These collectible wildcards come in three flavours: x3, x5 and x10 (rare). When you accept a mission you can use a Multiplier Card to boost the mission pay-out by respectively 3 times, 5 times and 10 times. A card is consumed on use.
Multiplayer Matchmaking Server
Multiplayer servers are now automatically registered at a central matchmaking server. This way players can now conveniently select a server from a list in the game. I've also set up a dedicated game server here for people to play on.NS 450
As requested by a user. This is a classic 50s locomotive which once served here in The Netherlands.
OTHER NEW FEATURES
- Pressing the S key (by default) will now gradually decelerate the train.
- The game is now automatically paused when starting from a save game.
- You can now use your own music. See the Steam Guides section for more info on this.
CHANGES
- Improved world generation speed by 50%.
- The game now notifies you more explicitly on events like passenger claims, lost cargo etc.
- Braking in Build Mode does not result in a full stop anymore.
- If you sell a wagon it will now be added to the settlement's stock.
- Building a left-most or right-most lane using build width 3 will now result in two more lanes on your left or right, i.e. the game will always build 3 lanes.
- You can now toggle between a 5 and 15 degrees bend angle which makes building smoother curves possible.
- When you upgrade a settlement its stock is now replenished to such amount that trading goods is immediately possible.
- You cannot build road segments next to signs and stations anymore.
BUG FIXES
- Fixed a bug where loading a game with a victor could cause another victor to be announced.
- Fixed checker pattern road bug.
- Fixed a bug that caused new player points to be rewarded everytime the same loaded game was won.
- Fixed a bug where the wagon icon and description were not updated after a wagon was upgraded.
- Picking up energy items when going >1000 kmph will not slow down the train anymore.
- Trains stats will now be properly updated when a wagon is sold.
- Fixed a bug that caused toll payments to be deducted at different rates depending on the number of settlement connections in the world.
- FIxed a bug that made you pay toll on your own roads.
- Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when entering the Hall of Fame screen.
Thanks again everyone for your feedback!

Original postIt's the season to release another Hypertrain update!
This update brings some exciting new features as well as many bug fixes and tweaks. Thanks again for all your feedback!
MAJOR NEW FEATURES
Construction Missions
Settlements will now give missions for constructing roads to (nearby) unconnected settlements. The train that builds the shortest road will be given a big sack of gold and - as the owner of the road - is entitled to all the toll payments given by Corp trains using the road.
Construction Tech Tree Path
Construction is now one of the main strategies to win the game. This is reflected by the tech tree which now contains a path tailored to construction.
Construction Wagon
The Construction Wagon lets you build three lanes at once. Futhermore, every additional Construction Wagon adds 100kmph to the maximum allowed train speed while building (to a maximum of 500kmph).
Repair Missions
Settlements will now ask you to fix holes in existing Corp-created roads. Don't crash against holes, just fix them! :)
OTHER NEW FEATURES
- World Settings: there is now a "none" option for connections.
- Additional ambient sound effects.
CHANGES
- Construction cost: building a road segment now costs coins.
- Significantly lowered the chance of road obstacles in corkscrews and such.
- Lowered the cost of the Radar Wagon.
- Terrain generation while building is now significantly faster.
FIXES
- Fixed a bug that caused the game speed to increase when looking up or down.
- Fixed "rubber banding" issues in multiplayer mode.
- Fixed issue where the game would suddenly put your train in another lane.
- Fixed issue in the Wagon Screen where wagons could disappear after a wagon drag-and-drop action.
- .. and many more.
Please note that this version of the game is not backwards compatible with previous save games. Too much has changed within the game to make this viable. After v1.0 save compatibility will be guaranteed with every update.
Also note that not all localisation has been updated. At the moment only NL is completely up to date.
Finally, after v0.9 comes v0.10. Don't expect v1.0 too soon :)
Happy holidays!

Original postAnother month, another update! This update focuses on multiplayer coop play through the addition of factions.
MAJOR NEW FEATURES
Factions
A faction allows human players to work together under a single banner. Faction members share settlement ownership bonuses. Each faction has a tax fund which is used to distribute the faction's total wealth evenly across its members. A faction wins the game if the average of the lengths of all its members surpasses 50.
Toll Revenues
Toll is now paid to the creator of the road segment. Toll revenues are paid out at the end of the day.Shop Stock
Settlement shops now have a limited supply of wagons.
Control Mapping
Controls can now be mapped to custom keys!
OTHER NEW FEATURES
- Winding road segments.
- New types of road overhangs.
- Neon signs on stations and some buildings.
- Purple gold items. Can be found in Marauder Nests. Rare but valuable.
- Navigation Wagon. Provides HUD aids for navigation. Previously these aids (i.e. the compass and mission target indicators) were available by default.
CHANGES
- Doubled the chunk size, which means the render distance is now doubled without any performance loss.
- Improved cloud variety.
- Starting settlements are now 50% larger.
- Lots of minor UI changes.
FIXES
- Fixed movement glitch when switching locomotives.

Original postHi guys,
Here's an update on what I'm currently doing.
Currently I'm slowly but steadily working on the multi-player mode of Hypertrain. As expected, this is a lot of (complex) work which also touches large parts of the single player code of the game. When I've got something working I will probably release it in a multi-player Steam branch first before merging it with the main branch.
The multiplayer setup will be client-server, in which anyone can run a dedicated server and up to 64 (hopefully, also depending on the power of the server) players can join in. It will be both PvP and PvE. That's the goal at least.
If in the meantime game breaking bugs emerge in the current version of the game then I'll definitely release patches. Bug fixing has the highest priority as always.
@31/07: we just had the second multiplayer test and it went very well! I'll be on vacation for the rest of the month but in September I'm planning to release the multiplayer mode and continue with the rest of the gameplay features. See you soon!
Cheers,
