Very exciting news today — The long awaited Derail Valley update, Simulator, is coming out on June 30th, 2023!



After several years being in development, the update will bring massive improvements to the game in the domains of graphics, simulation dynamics, user experience, bug fixes and future development productivity! You can see a lot of what's coming previewed on our YouTube channel.

An update of this scale can always be further improved, however, we've done enough preparations and testing over the years, both internally and with the closed beta testers, to safely conclude that any further improvements can be made after the release.

Simulator is a major stepping stone towards our even more grandiose future plans, that we've just recently outlined on this new page: http://www.derailvalley.com/future/




As we've made this massive update entirely from the game's sales so far — we'd like to say thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years!

In order to help fortify our next actions, we are ending the early supporter price period. The price of Derail Valley will go up for new customers, starting May 12th, 2023 at 19:00 CET, to $39.99 USD, or a region-tailored equivalent in other currencies.

We announced this change back in 2020, and now, more than four years after the initial barebones version of the game was released, we feel the change is justified. The team is now double the original size and all that time was spent working full-time on new features and content. Derail Valley has come a long way since, and it is especially the upcoming Simulator update that is driving the sales nowadays, with even more exciting coverage as well as a new trailer coming up in the following months!



If you're in position and willing to support our team for further development, please consider buying the game at the new price. If you'd like to buy it at a lower price, however, we've kept a time window for you until the 12th.

If you're wondering about the Early Access status - the game will remain in it, potentially, for years to come. This is because we want to add more features and content going forward, despite the product being stable and well rounded in its current form already. We'll keep at it for as long as possible, in our mission to make Derail Valley the best train simulator in the world.


April's been absolutely packed with work and we haven't had the chance to produce that many shorts this month. Next recap will, however, cover both April and May. In the meantime we've done a ton more bug fixing, finishing the UI, improving the translation workflow and have started work on the tutorial. The translation and closed beta teams have done a phenomenal job translating and finding bugs so far — thank you guys! We are about to start translating the second batch of languages soon.

That's all for today, we'll see you soon with more exciting content!

-Your DV Team

- Yangtze river flood event doesn´t add devastation to all owned provinces anymore

PLEASE NOTE!
There is still an issue with the Yangtze River Flood" Event, which causes it to effect all provinces along the River, even if below 15 Development. This issue occurs after completion of the missions "Tame China's Sorrow" and "The Jing Hang Grand Canal" - we're working towards a fix for this as well. Our apologies for the inconvenience caused.

# Governments
- The government reform "French Feudalism" no longer needs 50% of Crownland to integrate subjects. Instead, the "Seize Land" effect has now a counter which allows you to start the integration of an appanage.

You can save up the seize land charges so you can integrate all appanages later at the same time.

(If you're reading this on Steam and are confused why we are starting at #9, our previous dev logs can be found here).


Hello there! Ben here for my first update (Harry usually writes these but I've gone rogue) It's been a while I know, but I promise you, it's been worth the wait! All of us at K-Scope have been working hard focusing on content; finalising colours, characters, and ideas, we are even closing in on a playable demo (but more on that in the future)



Our artists (myself included) have spent probably a few too many hours arguing
debating over colour schemes, ultimately resulting in Lauren saving us all and putting together some concepts. You might notice the complete lack of the garish bright pink of the fantasy world...its for the better trust us.







Since putting these concepts together its become much clearer for myself and the others when it comes to designing both 3D and 2D elements for Play Pretend, allowing us to really amp up the quality and speed of the assets we create. Here's a lil' sneak peek at some of the enemies and the final look for the fantasy world, complete with a new colour palette and an all-new rework of our boss fight.



If you want to learn more about our enemies keep an eye on our Twitter - I'll be sharing some behind the scene glances at how we put them together and maybe even a couple tips on how to beat them when the time comes!



It's not just our artwork that's had a lot of love poured into it, we are nearing full completion of the core design of the entire project, with even a little allowance for expanding the project post-release if we are able to. What this means for you all is that we can begin to share more content that we can firmly say will be final and in the game we so badly want to put in your hands! I'll be sharing more about each world, character and playstyle soon, putting together a post dedicated to each character and the worlds their amazing imagination has put together for you all to play through.


As we begin to produce more and more content and we have finally settled into a development pipeline we are able to manage our resources a little better, as such you'll all be hearing from myself and the others far more often, with regular development updates coming out..well...regularly. Along with more information over on our Twitter, and maybe even an event or two over on our Discord, if any of that is of interest to you be sure you keep in touch!

Much love and see you very soon for the next devlog update!
