Hi, finally, I can present you our big demo update.
I am also happy to say that we are moving closer to the point where we will be able to release the game. I hope to make a release date announcement very soon.
Here is a list of what was introduced and changed in a recent update:
- Updated signals mechanic. Now signals can be used as waypoints.
- Added "No stop" mechanic. Signal blocks train from stopping on a certain section of tracks.
- Signals icons on the map represent the current signal state and switch accordingly
- Added station parameters: loading, unloading, wait time, etc.
- Added expandable freight station that can serve all types of wagons.
- Updated passenger generation.
- Updated economy, added useful data about trains to the economy window (wait time, utilization)
- Updated UI (icons, cursors, UI fixes)
- Added "Bulk replace" mechanic, that allows replacement of a certain wagon or a locomotive
- Maps updated. A dedicated tutorial map was added.
- Improved rail construction.
- Added an ability to view track usage, track direction, and signal states in a special construction overlay.
- Train block error now contains the name of the train that is blocking the path.
- Updated graphics and color scheme.
- A lot of bug fixes and quality improvements.
Also, a lot of work was made on the systems that are not present in the Demo.
Unfortunately, old save files will not work with the new update.
