We're excited to announce that the new Beta update v0.3.6.b is now live on Open Beta branch!
Caution: This is a Beta update. It could contain bugs and may rarely undergo heavy changes. If no problem, it will be promoted to production version after a while.
If you come from previous production version and want to experience a solid continuation of that, you should wait for it.
Changelog compared to previous Open Beta update:
- New Prologue: Experience a brand-new prologue where you can control a fully built train! This section marks the beginning of our complete story overhaul, which we will continue in upcoming updates. Please note: You must start a new game to experience this new content.
- New Stackable Chests: You can now stack chests on top of each other! To help with organization, the chest body now displays the first item inside, making it easier to manage your inventory.
- New Light Module: A new, brighter, and larger wall-mounted light module is now available to unlock and build for your train.
- New Window Modules: You can now further customize your train using two new window modules. These can be unlocked after reaching the mountain side station.
- Graphical Improvements: We've made improvements to the game's graphics, which should result in a sharper overall look.
- New Sticker: A new sticker has been added to the underground mountain station!
- New Snow Particles: We've changed the snow particle effects. They should now look much denser and more realistic.
- Destroyed Engine Indicators: When your engine breaks, you will now be alerted with a full-screen error notification on the train control panels. Additionally, you will see smoke particles coming from the damaged engines.
- Enemy AI Change: Damaging enemies now alerts them, making combat more reactive.
- Performance Optimizations: We've made several optimizations and tweaks that should result in slightly smoother gameplay in certain areas.
