Weve been a little out of sync between playtest and demo builds recently, but with this update the playtest will be back in line with the demo, getting all the upgrades we made in 0.4. 0.4.2 also has some additional bugfixes

• Better formatting of town badges that are part of cargo chains
• It no longer counts cargo units when calculating waiting times at a town
• Fix for an exploit that allowed you to get infinite money by repeatedly building and selling statinos
• Fixes a crash caused when the title screen music started on some installations
• We added a count of waiting passengers to the destinations table on the town screen

Well also be updating the demo to 0.4.2 as well in the next few days

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.

A whimsical top down 2D indie offering for players looking for a streamlined interface and a touch of offbeat humour.
