Hello everyone!
First of all, we’ve just released a patch that fixes some outstanding issues:
Patch notes: July 4th
• Money balance issue showing it as zero from time to time.
• An error that could cause loading to freeze at 63%, 75% or 100%.
• The memory leak issue of Mission 6.
• Updated localisation.
Secondly, we want to thank you for your support and feedback that’s been sent in so far. We really appreciate your ideas and suggestions, so keep them coming! Many of you have been asking about an Early Access Roadmap in the past few weeks, and today we are happy to finally be able to share our plans with you!
July Update - Sandbox
New sandbox maps (small/medium sized) with extra settings
• Random city location with random production buildings (The game generates seeds so you can share the same locations among friends!)
• Either start with just the Best Friend locomotive or start with everything researched.
• Enable/disable: Contracts generation, buy/construct production buildings, lawn spawning on/off, staff etc.
Free Play campaign mission
• Enable mission objectives, only disable time limits or disabled objectives completely.
• Research and Portfolio progress made in the actual campaign is ignored in Free Play.
A small update to multiplayer
• A separate scenario of the current multiplayer map will be added with an extended goal, larger initial capital and starting with two researched trains. Even though these changes are related to the same map. We think this will make multiplayer sessions more dynamic and will provide you with a new experience while new maps for multiplayer are coming.
August Update - Challenges
Adds the challenges category: unique separate one-map scenarios for true hardcore players
• The point of challenges is to make it not easy but possible to pass. With deadlines, money limits etc. This is for players who would like to try a more challenging mode rather than the one in campaign or if Chapter One is completed.
September Update - Multiplayer
• Adds three multiplayer maps with different size and preset conditions. One of the maps will be a mirrored one to try out a similar conditions scenario for each team. Another map will be suitable for random settings, making it similar to the sandbox settings (including initial conditions and cities/production shuffling)
• Additional multiplayer options similar to the sandbox settings, including cities and production shuffling.
Fall Update - Chapter Two
• Chapter Two added: six new campaign missions.
• AI competitor
• Stock market feature
• Steam Workshop integration
Please note that more information will be given about each individual update, the closer we are to its completion.
