Miksi Early Access?

Mashinky will be in Early Access on Steam for one or two years. This is the best way to engage with the Mashinky community through the early development of the game.I still have a long list of features I want to add into the game. I’ve already taken a test version to game conferences and gathered feedback (and a couple of awards!) which has helped to improve the game immensely. My goal is to work closely with the Mashinky community, providing players the opportunity to take part in the creation of the best Railway strategy game ever!

The version of Mashinky that is available through Early Access features 5 of the 7 planned historical eras. At this point the focus is on polishing core gameplay features and optimizing and balancing the game’s mechanics. In the meantime, work will continue on new features (such as the implementation of a multiplayer mode) and additional game content ( historical eras, industry chains, new vehicles and transport types). In this state, you might encounter bugs or performance issues – the most critical of these will be fixed to ensure the test version is playable. Others will be logged for fixing; these could be as simple as a diesel engine that chuffs like a steam train, so raising them is important to ensure the game is polished for its release!
