https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lk_7IfGFAs I just released a new content update that adds a bunch of new city scenery pieces as well as new slot car roads and a slot car sedan. This is probably the largest content update to date. An important detail is that because scenery is designed to rotate around the center of grid cells as opposed to the edges (like track), scenery doesn't line up with the ends of track pieces. I also made it easier to enter and exit rideables. Now when you point the teleport beam at a rideable, you'll teleport in where you are pointing. You can also teleport between rideables, for example from a station onto a train. Changes are as follows:

Railcars now trigger switches when going over them (based on coupled loco switch direction)
Added elevated rail platforms
Added multiple city buildings
Added roads
Added slot car sedan
Added sidewalks
Made it so that track and roads can snap over each other (allows for street rails)
Added placeable trash can
Added placeable fire hydrant (twist the bolt on the top to turn on/off)
Added placeable traffic light (point at and click trackpad to change color)
Added placeable street light
Added rideable city station blocks (single and double sided, can also be placed next to roads)
Added example city layout
Improved load time
Improved teleporting into and between rideables (you can now teleport from one car to another or from a station onto a train)
Added support for loading saves as the starting scene (place your own in the steamappscommonLocomancersavesstart folder)
Fixed BART car doors not opening on the correct side
Fixed bug where clicking the touchpad while grabbing the toolbox would trigger the extinguisher and camera

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.
