No serious changes in this patch. We have fixed a bug where building and selling a station would leave you with more money than you started with. We also expanded the tutorial slightly after some feedback from the Next Fest, and we've slightly increased the starting funds to compensate for the maintenance cost introduced in 0.0.8. Now that the Next Fest is underway, we'll likely have another small patch or two to fix bugs, optimise the game and allow for buying town tiles. However, our real effort will go towards 0.1.0, an update in which we hope to introduce cargo to the game in a new map, much larger than the Horseshoe scenario.

Build train networks to connect people to the towns and places they need to go to. Turn remote wilderness into a thriving metropolis brimming with colour and life as you set up routes to link tourists to resorts, grapes to wineries, and aspiring sleuths to detectiving conventions, among others. See the fruits of your efforts reflected in your burgeoning bank balance while making sure your reputation stays intact.

Iron Roads is a game where you set up train networks connecting your towns and industries. Build infrastructure, buy trains, and fine-tune their routes and timetables to optimise your network. But don't get complacent! As you progress, further towns, industries, events, opportunities, and natural disasters may come your way and threaten to upheave the little train utopia you've just built.
