Why Early Access?

“Since it is being made by single developer, some intended feature such as passenger system and conductor mode isn't implemented yet. I'd love to get your help and feedback to make further improvement for the game”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I aim for full release (v.1) in Q2-Q4 2027, Date may vary. There might be some delay depending on the technical challenge”

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

“The mainline (Hayamori Railway) planned to be approx. 80-100km of route length, I also planning to have passenger and conductor mode. Freight operation might be possible in full release depending on technical challenge”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state and key feature of the Game since the start of version 0.9EA:
