I hope everyone's enjoying the Railroad History Jam!
There's already a ton of excellent stuff on the Steam Workshop that you can play.

This post is just to let everyone know that submissions for the jam will still be open over the weekend, which means any unfinished maps can still be uploaded up until Monday! (no strict time).

As well as that, I've just posted a "historic" version of the GeTA Sulfur map!
While the original map is set in the present day, this version is set back in the steam era, and features lots of little details and changes that reflect how the fictional railway has grown over the years.

You can find this new version here:

And the original modern day version here:

And of course you can find the full collection of liveries and maps for the GeTA Sulfur here:

If you've already submitted a layout, why not have a go at making a historic version!
It's a lot of fun, and really adds depth to the history of your railway.
And with submissions extended till Monday, it's worth a try!

Here's an example of the Oatery yard from the GeTA Sulfur map, both modern and historic:

In other news, I've just spent the last couple of weeks away on holiday!

As you may (or may not) know, I'm actually a solo developer. I work on this game on my own, which means I handle everything like programming, modelling, map making, social media, Q&A, etc.

This means that it's quite tricky for me to take a break, since no one is left in charge to take care of things while I'm away. So events like this (jams and competitions) are a perfect opportunity for me to take a break from working on the game.

During this jam, i had a holiday around the South Island of New Zealand, and had a wonderful time!
Here's some of the beautiful places I visited:

Mt Richmond (Marlborough):

Ben Lomond (Queenstown):

And Milford Sound (Fiordland):

After a lovely holiday, I'm very excited to be getting back to Rolling Line, and I have a ton of interesting stuff planned for the rest of this year!
In fact this year is going to be a big one for Rolling Line, and there are going to be some BIG features on the way.

Thank you all so much for taking part in the Railroad History Jam, and remember you can still submit entries over the weekend!
I'll be making another news post after the weekend to show off my favorites and wrap-up the event.

In the meantime, enjoy!
