https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idW7NSWSnn8 The major change in this update is the addition of the ability to paint objects. Using the airbrush you can change the color, glossiness, metalness, and translucency of most (but not all) placeable objects. Paint is saved along with everything else. To change the current paint properties of the airbrush, grab and move the four sliders on the sides and back. The side sliders can be moved up and down as well as forward and back. The current paint can be previewed as a small jar on the top of the airbrush. Once you are happy with the paint, you can apply it by pointing the airbrush at an object and pressing the touchpad. You can also sample existing paints by pointing and pressing the menu button. In the misc section there is a new color palette that can be placed in the room and used to store paints by painting one of its 18 cubes. You can then sample these back later. You can place as many as you need (performance permitting).

• Added the airbrush which allows you to paint objects in a variety of colors and materials.
• Added paint support to majority of placeable objects.
• Added Jack O Lantern to workshop. Can also be placed on head if so desired.
• Added new model for remote control.
• Removed ride preview when already in a rideable.

Are you a kid that wants to play with model trains?

Are you an adult that misses playing with your model trains as a kid?

Are you an adult that missed out on playing with model trains as a kid?

Are you an adult with a kid that wants to play with model trains?

Are you just an adult that wants to play with model trains?

Are you a person of any age/race/gender that wants to play with model trains?

If you answered yes to any of the above, do I have news for you because Locomancer lets you PLAY WITH AND RIDE MODEL TRAINS!
(Also if you answered no to all of the above, come on, we all know you're lying to yourself and everyone you love. Take a break from the wave shooters and play with some trains.)

Locomancer is a toy box style model train simulator for touch enabled SteamVR headsets. It allows you to build layouts of varying complexity and even defy what is physically possible in fake virtual reality (reality).

Featuring:

• Multiple locomotives including steam and diesel engines
  
• A variety of rail cars including a fully functional cannon car
  
• Straight track, curved track, inclined track, loop de loops, and more!
  
• Various pieces of scenery to add detail your layouts

Plus, with support for custom scenery, you can bring models created by yourself or the community into the game for even further customization (Steam Workshop support coming soon). The possibilities are nearly endless*!

Fully embracing the physicality of touch enabled virtual reality you are legally required to build layouts piece by piece, tree by tree. Then, once complete you must remotely operate your trains with a replica DC control panel or hop in the cab of any of the available locomotives and drive them with physical levers, knobs, and dials! They even burst in to flames when they crash, you can't say that about your real model trains can you?

Oh...you can? I'd get that checked out if I were you.

So what are you waiting for? Become The Locomancer!

Yes, you are the Locomancer. Was that not clear? It's like a train wizard. You're like the babe with the power, but instead of voodoo it's train magic. Also, there's no magic dance, but you can still dance to twenty-six minutes of sweet big band jazz by Nathan Boler if you want to.

*The possibilities are totally endful, but there's still a lot you can do.
