Coming Soon To Early Access

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I'm developing Train Goes Right solo with very few resources and need help realizing my full vision for the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It took two years to get to early access, so I would anticipate no less than another two years to reach full release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I plan to add diverse locomotive that span the steam age with distinct charm and functionality, complex industry production chains that incentivize mixed cargo trains, as well as ways and means to scale up rail construction.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Barest of bones build a railroad solo or with friends into the infinite right (or left).”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Early access will experience growing pains as I learn to scale up and will be priced accordingly. As development progresses and nears release the price will increase slightly to reflect the added value.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The Community will inform the direction and priority of features, balance, and game feel through the Steam forums and Discord community. ”

About This Game

The Train Goes Right, it's in the name.

Step into the mid-19th century on your own or with a few friends. Take on the role of a railway pioneer in a charming mid-poly world where you’ll build a rail empire one spike at a time. Operate faithfully simplified period steam locomotives with accurate controls,

Key Features:

  • Tracks not included
    Plan, dig, and shovel your rail network any way you see fit, as long as it mostly goes right.

  • Simulated steam
    A modest simulation combines firebox, temperature, boiler pressure, piston position, and valve gear into something that feels like a living breathing engine. Stoke the fire and get to work!

  • Physics, physics, physics
    Chopping trees, breaking rocks, shifting ballast, it all passes through the physics sim with only a modicum of jank.

  • Detailed work
    The essential aspects of all railroad; ties (sleepers), rails, and spikes, are all represented and necessary.  The track begins and ends with you.

  • Work Never Ends 
    The frontier is endless. How far can the train go?

Don’t like trains? That’s fine too; there's a handcart in the shed.
