Beta than ever: 7 changes and improvements made to Railway Empire
The boss of the legendary Union Pacific Railroad, Thomas C. Durant, may be a mastermind tycoon, but his teaching skills in the original tutorial evidently left much to be desired among our beta testers. As a result, we sent our railway expert to back to basic training and developed a completely new tutorial, which now offers much more help and guidance as you take your first tentative in the world of Railway Empire.
Even the most successful of tycoons needs to take a break every now and then! But big business waits for no one, and with that in mind we have implemented three distinct pause modes, available for selection before you begin a game:
Not only are Railway Empire’s 41 locomotives astonishingly detailed from a visual standpoint, but they also feature highly authentic sounds to enhance the tycoon experience and sense of immersion. All locomotives now have individual, authentic sound kits that bring the trains vividly to life.
As your fledgling business grows, you’re going to want to measure it – in a literal and figurative sense! And after consulting with our beta testers, the preference was clear – if we’re in America, then we need to measure like the Americans do! So now, all players can choose between Metric or American measuring systems in the options menu.
As well as being able to decide whether to build your rail network in miles or metres, you can now adjust the height of your tracks as well! Will you design your tracks with efficiency in mind, or will you dive into sandbox mode and make something that might look more at home in a rollercoaster game? The choice is yours!
No one wants obstructions on the track! To keep those trains get rolling, the development team behind Railway Empire has been working hard on overall performance and balancing throughout the beta.

Thanks to the continued feedback from our dedicated beta testers, significant improvements have been in the recent months leading up to the full release of Railway Empire. Here are some of the most important changes so far:
Tutorial revision
The boss of the legendary Union Pacific Railroad, Thomas C. Durant, may be a mastermind tycoon, but his teaching skills in the original tutorial evidently left much to be desired among our beta testers. As a result, we sent our railway expert to back to basic training and developed a completely new tutorial, which now offers much more help and guidance as you take your first tentative in the world of Railway Empire.
Pause functions
Even the most successful of tycoons needs to take a break every now and then! But big business waits for no one, and with that in mind we have implemented three distinct pause modes, available for selection before you begin a game:
- Trainiac (pausing is not possible, but you will receive a bonus to your final score)
- Normal (game pauses during dialogs and events, with no effect on your final score)
- Manual (game can be paused at any time, with a penalty to your final score)
Authentic sounds
Not only are Railway Empire’s 41 locomotives astonishingly detailed from a visual standpoint, but they also feature highly authentic sounds to enhance the tycoon experience and sense of immersion. All locomotives now have individual, authentic sound kits that bring the trains vividly to life.
American measurement system
As your fledgling business grows, you’re going to want to measure it – in a literal and figurative sense! And after consulting with our beta testers, the preference was clear – if we’re in America, then we need to measure like the Americans do! So now, all players can choose between Metric or American measuring systems in the options menu.
Height adjustments for tracks
As well as being able to decide whether to build your rail network in miles or metres, you can now adjust the height of your tracks as well! Will you design your tracks with efficiency in mind, or will you dive into sandbox mode and make something that might look more at home in a rollercoaster game? The choice is yours!
Bug fixing and performance improvements
No one wants obstructions on the track! To keep those trains get rolling, the development team behind Railway Empire has been working hard on overall performance and balancing throughout the beta.

United States, 1830: ‘The New World’ is in its ascendancy. Industry is booming, and the race is on to establish the most dominant and powerful rail empire in all of North America. It’s time to outthink and outmaneuver your competitors as you lead your company into the 20th century!

In Railway Empire, you will create an elaborate and wide-ranging rail network, purchase over 40 different trains modelled in extraordinary detail, and buy or build railway stations, maintenance buildings, factories and tourist attractions to keep your travel network ahead of the competition. You’ll also need to hire and manage your workforce if you want to ensure an efficient train service, whilst also develop over 300 technologies ranging from mechanical improvements to the trains themselves to workplace infrastructures and advanced amenities as you progress through five eras of technological innovations.

However, you can’t just build and research your way to the top – the competition never sleeps, and to keep your business on track you’ll have to survive against up to three rival tycoons. To get to the top you may have to resort to more cutthroat tactics as you attack and sabotage your opponents through raids and industrial espionage.
