It's finally here! Three years since development on it started, we're pleased to announce the Simulator major update has just been released – along with a brand new trailer:



If you already have Derail Valley in your Steam library, it will be automatically downloaded. When you start the game your last save from the previous version will automatically convert to the new format and location used by Simulator. You'll then be able to continue from there, or start new sessions in the main menu – up to you!


We've made this listing so you can see what's new and what's coming soon:





For an early coverage of the new additions, check out Squirrel's exclusive preview videos! Some examples:

Being an enormous update, a few things remain to be done. These are notably the S060 locomotive, DE6 slug, Steam Deck input layout (it does work otherwise), RailDriver support, and a couple more smaller things. Rest assured that the mentioned two vehicles will be added very soon, in a couple of weeks.


We've been making core changes to both until recently, and are happy to say that they are finished. The update features the all new S282 steam locomotive experience, as well as dynamic VR hands that naturally interact with controls and items. Support for the Pico 4 headset has also been added.




The update introduces 25 new languages to the game, translated by a carefully selected dedicated group of players. Apart from providing a good spirit and feedback, our translation team handled tens of thousands of words per language, and have put a lot of care into making it all fit nicely and using proper technical terms. They're absolute heroes!

We've marked the languages that we think the game is sufficiently translated to as supported on the store page itself. The rest are also available to choose from in the game, with an UI scoring element representing their completion level. Please let us know, and our translation team, how you like the translations and we'll further update the statuses.

Please bear in mind that since the tutorial translations needed to be done at the very end (today, also barring many bugs we've just resolved), they are also the least complete. Don't worry though, the translations will continue being improved after the release.




If you've been using mods, please note that you should to do a clean install of the game. If your save file was modded, it may not convert well – it depends. Most, if not all pre-Simulator mods will no longer work with Derail Valley and will have to be updated by the community in the coming weeks and months, to become functional again. Some of that effort is already ongoing.


For the next few days and weeks we'll make frequent updates, fixing all the immediate issues as they arise, as well as finishing up the two vehicles and a few more things. Then we'll drop the pace a little and take a well deserved rest. For the more long-term plans, please see our http://www.derailvalley.com/future/ page.



We hope you'll enjoy the new Derail Valley and where it's headed, and we're looking forward to seeing your reactions in posts, reviews, videos and other media!

尊敬的玩家们好，这里是燏空联合开发团队（虽然只有两个人）！
凡诺提亚：幕间 1-奥布扎因修道院是我们团队的第一部作品。从本意上讲，这部作品的目的是磨合我们这个只有两个人的团队，看看能不能共同作出一部游戏。事实证明我们成功了，我们的工作完成地相当不错。
游戏很短，相当于一个MMORPG的副本流程，但是，下一部的游戏，我们会做的比较大，因为我们有了这一次的经验，能够扫平路上的很多障碍。
游戏肯定没有达到玩家和我们所预期的效果，在此跟各位玩家道歉，希望能够海涵。我们的能力和精力有限，但我们希望各位玩家能够看到我对游戏制作的真诚与热爱，我们想把凡诺提亚系列打造成一个大的IP。希望各位玩家能够对我们给予更多的鼓励支持，在此献上我最真挚的问候与感谢。
如果玩家们对游戏角色立绘感兴趣的话，可以移步pixiv/触站/画加/微博/Ins，搜索@Kanngi，就能找到角色全图立绘了，非常感谢各位玩家对游戏角色们的喜爱。画技欠佳，和大触们无法相提并论，日后有了成果，一定会请优秀的画师们作画。
