Signal and track bug fixes

10 Mar

Fixed a crash that could occur when certain track configurations collapsed to zero length.
Fixed an issue where signals could end up in an invalid position after dragging a nearby track vertex, which could cause further errors.
Saves affected by these issues will now be automatically cleaned up on load.

The tutorial is very wordy...

I struggled to get into the game unfortunately. I love a good train game, but there's just lots of text to read. If I can't figure out how to lay track and build buildings and deliver goods in a game without reading pages of text then I quickly loose interest unfortunately. I'd suggest keeping the text before you can start playing to an absolute minimum - having to read paragraphs of backstory detracts from the game. Under no circumstances should the tutorial use words like "colinear" - it complicates th...

Updated tutorial

8 Mar

I've tried to make the game's initial experience smoother. The first thing a player encounters is a lot of text. I can't completely eliminate this, but the tutorial was overly wordy and went into unnecessary detail about concepts familiar to players of other train games. I've also clarified that players don't need to read the entire tutorial before taking action, reduced the text in the character introductions, and made other edits to character dialogue.

I also fixed a bug affecting track placement over water and buildings.

Game Released & Demo Ending

7 Mar

I've released the full version of the game at no cost. The demo was primarily intended as a beta test to gather feedback and to showcase at Steam Next Fest before the full release.

Now that the full game is out and free to play, there's no need for the demo, and I will remove it in a week to give players time to transition. Saves are seamlessly usable between versions, so no progress will be lost. Please switch to the full version at your convenience.

Graphic consistency

Another piece of feedback: You have portraits that look like paintings, and a model style that's very blocky. The two styles are at odds with each other. I'd suggest either making everything detailed, or if you want the blocky aesthetic, make the paintings etc match it....

Unable to start the simulation or delete the depot

I accidently created a depot near a forest. I am unable to delete the depot with the X or DEL keys. I am unable to move the depot... I think that it is clicking the forest instead of the depot. When I try to start the simulation after creating a more appropriate train line, this stray depot is blocking me with the following error message: "Error: Depot placement", "The depot must be at the end of a terminal track segment"....
