After a weeks of tweaking, tests, trial and errors we're finally releasing a new beta version of the game! We're happy to present the features it includes:

Techtree-based blueprint unlocking

There's a new way to access and unlock blueprints. Instead of collecting them along the tracks, or after reaching a new level in the campaign mode, now the blueprints are related to each other. For example, to unlock the well, you'll need to unlock the pickaxe first. This change allows to have a unified way to progress in the game across all game modes. It also gives a better and easier way to add new blueprints with future updates. Another benefit of this, is the it is up to the players to decide which "branching" strategy to follow: Do you want to focus more on improving your defense? Or you maybe want to have a stronger train? You decide what's best for a specific run.

New locomotives and more

Meet the "Crocodile". Based on the iconic Swiss locomotive, this engine requires electricity to work. We added a generator, and batteries to build! Windmill are also back on the item's menu. They also produce electricity. It comes with an upgrade that increase the power and speed.

Barbara has a new "Turbocharger" upgrade for its diesel engine! It'll give you the boost you need to escape enemy attacks! There's also a few more weapons available: Blunderbusses, cannons and catapults (because why not!)

Various improvements

- The map between the levels in the campaign now display the progression of the wild fires. You better watch your back and move forward quickly! - Balancing. We spent a fair amount of time balancing the game: adjusting the unlock costs, the rewards, the damage factors of the weapons, etc.. - Bugfixes, and more bugfixes

Get your tickets to ride the Trackline Express today! Small disclaimer: there might be some missing rails sections. And occasional barbarian attacks. But don’t worry, our trains are the most reliable out there. Some just require a few upgrades here and there. Other than that, a perfectly fine ride is awaiting for you!
Did we mention wildfires?

Trackline Express is a train builder where you need to reach the stations while keeping your passenger safe from attacks and wildfires. Gather wood, rocks, ores, coal, and then transform them into various resources to create new buildings and equipment using blueprints that you unlock along the way.

The game offers a unique blend of gameplay elements that could appeal to players who enjoy strategy and resource management and to those looking for a more relaxed and cozy gaming experience with occasional exciting twists.

There aren't many resources in the desert, so you’ll have to think about how to use them in the best possible way.

You’ll need to collect enough coins to unlock blueprints in order to build anything. Once a blueprint is unlocked, it’s freely available. Coins are rare around there, so use them wisely.

With enough resources and the right blueprints, you can create multiple buildings and equipment to help you keep going forward and survive. What will you build first? A mine to get the coal for the train? Or maybe a well for your water tank? Unless you choose equipment to defend yourself against an upcoming threat... Each game is different and might require different prioritizations. Adaptation is key.

Attacks are frequent. You’ll have to fight to protect your convoy. Fortunately there are a few items you can use. As more passengers arrive, you’ll have to be more creative with how you use them.

Feed your train with coal, build new wagons and new equipment to defend against, well, basically everything. Try to automate things to keep moving as the game gets harder and harder with time and distance.

Bring your friends along for a ride! Join forces to tackle challenges on a journey to the final destination with Trackline Express multiplayer mode. Unite your strengths, strategically plan your next steps and defeat incoming threats!

You just want to play during a short break? We got you covered! The game comes with a Daily Challenge mode. Every day, a new randomly generated map will be available for everyone, so you can challenge yourself and your friends!
