Our wee little track-building game is now already about a month and a half old! It was a blast to see the community grow this fast and wholesome. Our Discord has reached 2'500 members and Unrailed has been watched on Twitch alone for over 600'000 hours. Even from a competitive standpoint new heights were reached: The previous record featured in our last post has since been beaten by one of nearly double the distance!
Since launch we've wached on all these channels for feedback and new content ideas. And we distilled parts of that into our first update. Check a look at the follwing graphic to see what we added and improved:
That's it. Thanks a lot for everyone helping us to improve and extend Unrailed!
PS: Stay tuned for a little halloween themed extra update coming next week ːsteamhappyː
