Hello everyone!
Today we'd like to share a fresh update on the current state of development and give you a clearer look at what's happening behind the scenes.
📌 Expanding the Game Even Further
Over the past months we made the decision to significantly increase the amount of content and mechanics planned for the full version of Train Station Project. Our goal is simple: we want as many players as possible to feel fully satisfied with the depth and variety the game offers.
We don't release devlogs very often, but please remember, we work on the game every single day.
We prefer to publish updates only when we have concrete, meaningful information instead of overwhelming you with small, repetitive news posts.
🗓️ Release Window & Demo Updates
Many of you have been asking about the release date. At this moment, we're aiming for a late Q1 2026 launch. We want to ensure the final game is polished, stable, and packed with the quality you expect.
We also received many questions about whether the demo will receive new content.
Unfortunately, the answer is no - and here's why:
The current development build contains a lot of blockout areas and placeholder structures.
We're expanding and updating almost every major mechanic at the same time.
New content requires proper SFX, controller support, balancing and iteration - all of which happen gradually.
Because of how fast everything changes internally, updating the demo would slow development down significantly.
We ask for your patience and understanding. We read all of your feedback and our goal is to surprise you with how much richer and more polished the final game will be.
🧰 What We're Working On Right Now
🍽️ New Station Rooms
Two new unlockable rooms have recently been added to the station:
Restaurant - featuring a large list of meals to prepare and serve
Copy & Print Shop - where you can print documents, photos for your customers
🏢 Station Expansion
The underground floor of the station has been expanded.
Our plan is to connect it with passageways leading directly to the platforms, making the station feel more alive and functional.
🕹️ Arcade Machines
We're creating custom artwork for all arcade machines.
The full version of the game will feature 10 arcade machines, each fully playable and with achievements to unlock.
🚂 Interaction with trains - Major Upgrade
In the demo, players could only clean one train.
In the full version:
🔧 Cleaning & Inspection
You'll encounter many different wagon types to clean. We're also adding a train inspection system, allowing you to:
Check for overloaded wagons
Verify transport documents
Inspect wagon condition
Detect contraband hidden in various places
🚛 New wagons
Coal hoppers
Container carriers
Animal transport wagons
Double-decker passenger cars
Once again, thank you for your support. Your enthusiasm and trust mean the world to us! ❤️
