We have been working on a huge update to The Last Train. This difficult pandemic period has given us an opportunity to look back at one of the most important games that we as a studio have worked on. Over the last few months we decided it would be a great time to revisit the game and try to improve many different aspects of the gameplay and the story.
Revisiting the game again gave us the opportunity to add new things we wanted to implement during development. We've also made many new quality of life improvements, bug fixes and most importantly listened to community feedback and implemented it.
Some of the major changes included are:
- Added random encounters in different stations
- Added a female voice over if you choose to play as a female character
- Every time you choose to drop a passenger halfway through the journey, you will have to be prepared to deal with the consequences
- Balancing fixes to the food, crafting, fuel, trains, etc
- Added over 99 new cooking recipes
- Removed the lockpick mini game
- You can now open all the trash cans with no tools
- Improved the quality of the art assets
- Added 64 bit support for Mac users
- All the trains are now only cosmetically different, so it doesn't give the players unfair gameplay advantages
- Made it easier to pick passengers from the station
- Re-balanced the coal rewards from passenger and scavenging
- Improved the pacing and progression of the story
- The upgrade system has been improved drastically
- Added a few tutorial prompts to introduce you to the radiation zone
- Streamlined the leaderboard options in the Sandbox mode
- See your previous best score and your current score in Sandbox mode
- Added a new achievements to the game
- And much more...
To celebrate the launch of the brand new update we've slashed the price of the game. If you have any other features you want us to add please don't hesitate to get in touch with us at [email protected] or in the discussion boards.
We would love to thank all of you for supporting us on this journey.
