Защо „Ранен достъп“?

“We want to find out if our vision for Model Railway simulator is shared by railway modellers & gamers. We need to get project going ahead from Day 1 in order to achieve & sustain development momentum.

Creating a game is serious undertaking and we want to make sure our effort & resources will not be expended & committed in vain.

Direct support from current & feedback from prospect users will provide us with much needed resources & information how to best develop our project.”

Приблизително колко дълго тази игра ще бъде в „Ранен достъп“?

“12 months”

Как ще се различава планираната пълна версия от тази в „Ранен достъп“?

“Planned list of features:

• Track & buildings editor [to create own layouts]
  
• Different modes [other than just control trains], for example ability to move goods between different industries
  
• Changing seasons, weather, day/night cycle
  
• Realistic railway equipment: switches, signals
  
• Lights
  
• Steam & smoke

Full version will also include features based on feedback received from Early Access version.”

Какво е текущото състояние на версията в „Ранен достъп“?

“Early Access version allows player to control single locomotive, couple/uncouple wagons & operate switch points.
There is limited functionality implemented into Early Access version, not all models are textured, sounds & effects are very limited.”

Ще има ли разлика в цената на играта по време на „Ранен достъп“ и след това?

“Yes. Full version will be more expensive then Early Access version”

Как се планирате да ангажирате общността в процеса Ви на разработка?

“We want to create game that will bring the best of railway modelling - variety of locomotives & rolling stock, buildings & structures, addictive gameplay and unique look & feel of model railway.

We know there are model railway enthusiasts out there looking to build layouts that wouldn't be possible in real life due to physical & time constraints it takes to build one. We are reaching to them through community forums, further down the line also through railway modelling clubs, model railway events & hobby magazines.

Once on board we'll get them involved in development through dedicated communication channels.

Get feedback. Implement. Iterate.”
