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.»

¿Cómo tienes planeado involucrar a la comunidad en tu proceso de desarrollo?

«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.»
