In reply to George.

A big “Thank You” to the developers! Thanks for bringing us this game! Keep the passion for the Game, share the tech details about how to mod and continue development and improvement after the release!

A lot of things is a matter of personal taste, but I like what I see! It was really about time in the transportation simulation genre to have a new game like Train Fever. I cannot wait to play it myself!

Constructive criticism is a positive thing if it is shared in a polite and respectful way. And if someone is displeased – nowadays there are many ways where one can program a game and show that he can do it better. The expectations are high, of course. Therefore my respect to the Train Fever Team that they accepted the challenge and created Train Fever!

I think the release is not the end, but only the beginning! :O)

In reply to Tossi. Steam reckons 16 hours from now, which works out to 8am UTC (9am BST) Rather wishing it was tonight, as I have a free evening.

It’s not the usual station to station line video, at the moment this first video shows 3 stations connected by one line ! And more will come in the future !

First of all great job Urban Games!!!!
Unfortunately i feel that the game will be criticized because of the high expectations of some people .. but for those who will have in mind the fact that the dev team is composed by 3 people !! how much of a masterpiece of a game u want ? especially since this game is their debut game. I for one am excited for the chance to play a modern TTD the game won’t be polished right away again the manpower is too small for that , they even support modding for it so they can just concentrate patching and improving the game at the moment thus giving the game more lifespan. This is a chance for them to prove that they can to something right and they will learn from mistakes like all(most) people.Look at big companies where they have 100dev team and they let us down every year and then cry about every little thing here.
I think that if the game will be enough succesfull and they gather more talented people in their team to lessen the workload and expect in 3-4 years a sequel that will be much better than this one.

PS @gGeorg : maybe Unreal engine if it was choice (not really) but cryengine is resource demanding and very unsuitable for this type of game.

In reply to Dan.

Some video here has shown big cities. About 5thousand ppl. It was not playable even on above average PC. The engine is not only about graphich effects. The Engine midleware is about optimizations. Setting up processes, action, events, sounds, …. . Small studio dont have money to support 12 research/development guys who brings better one occlusion light effect in a month.

Check what new Unreal is able to support. Anything from 2D arcade, strategy game, FPS shooter, car racing, … anything.

Landscape is empty, that’s true. Actual engine is not optimized enough to show more details, that’s true.

I see only ways:
1. we can say that empty landscape is intended.
2. devs fill up landscape, and say that our PCs are too weak
3. we can pray that engine programers will do a miracle in a month. Haleluuja.
4. change the engine

In reply to Peter Fonda. The water thing is indeed a very minor issue, but I also found in a video that passengers are entering a train, while they aren't in front of any wagons. They just pop into the train from anywhere on the platform. Same thing with them coming out of a train. From one point a whole series of people is coming out of the train and all go the same route after that. Of course you can say those are minor details as well, but how hard can it be to simulate a normal boarding and offloading of a train? Them popping in at some point is understandable, but boarding a train from the other end of the platform, just looks too weird. At least make them walk to a wagon.
