I just released an updated toolbox that is more visually refined and hopefully easier to use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0wS9aU7x6I I finally added a model for the save camera that opens and closes when you pick it up. I temporarily moved the vacuum, remote, and airbrush into a pull-out shelf on the right side of the toolbox. All three need to be improved so I didn't want to make any changes to accommodate their current designs. In addition to the toolbox, I added an alternate hand position that should more accurately reflect your hand position (especially with Oculus Touch). This can be toggled with a button inside the lid of the toolbox.
- Updated toolbox models
- Split inventory into multiple categories each with their own "drawer." Some are further divided into subcategories.
- Inventory page scroll is animated to make it more obvious when pages switch
- Updated all of the dials to use the new dial model
- Added alternate hand position
- Hands now become transparent when grabbing dynamic objects instead of disappearing completely
- Added red glow to items when deleting them using grip buttons, glow intensifies until object is deleted
- Added the ability to delete saves by gripping them the same way as other objects (but didn't check that they were actually being deleted so this is half broken ːconwayshrugː)

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.
