Happy Sunday everyone! @Sim17 from Discord asked me to enable different wagons in the Versus Mode for a tournament. We made a version where you can disable "Versus: Cannon Wagon only" under Settings->Accessibility (might not be the best spot to put it). The sampled wagon is bound to the seed, similar to the quick mode. Changelog 2.1-8db720a41 New: Versus matches can start with different wagons than the cannon wagon when you disable under settings->Accessibility->"Versus: Cannon Wagon only"

Hello everyone :) Thank you for all the feedback with the last update. We just pushed a small patch fixing issues that appeared with the last update: - Bug fix: Some players saw a being banned message even though they were not on the global block list - Bug fix: Sometimes players did not get correctly kicked or blocked from a running session - Crash fix: Occurring when being blocked during a session

[ 2023-07-05 09:40:29 CET ] [ Original post ]

Dear track building community, we recently pushed pushed some changes around the kick/ban system but we noticed some bugs as well as occasional accidental blockings of friends. Therefore we tried to overhaul it a bit. Here is an overview: - You can kick via [ESC]->[Manage Players] - The host kicks instantly. Non-master players can majority vote-kick. Kicked players will be thrown out of a session. - When kicking, you'll be asked whether you want to block the player as well. If you are host and blocked a player, the player won't be able to join any your sessions anymore (that is why you don't want to block your friends). You can unblock players in the main menu under [ESC]->[Blocked Players]. - Additionally, we can issue global blocks ("bans"). Banned players will automatically be blocked from every session if the host did not un-block the player via the block list locally. That means if you're banned, you can still play with your friends online if you ask them to un-block you. However, random matchmaking will be disabled. We want to ban players who actively try to sabotage other matches. We decide on evidence (eg replays) from Discord and we count all (locally) issued blocks as well. In any case, if you're banned, feel free to reach out to us:
We are going to ban some players right away and hope that less players are motivated to grief in general. Thank you for your support and happy trackbuilding! <3 Changelog: - New: You'll be notified when you're banned - Improvement: Kicked players no longer get added to block list automatically. Instead, a popup appears to ask whether you want to block the player as well. - Improvement: The block list now indicates which blocks are global blocks - Fix: Player flickering when in block list - Fix: Lost achievement reachable in shop - Fix: (Hopefully) Controller remapping can no longer unbind movement stick - Fix: Invite friends option reappeared in lobby - Fix: Crash dumper sometimes having issues - Neat: You can add replayfps [fps] to you setting file to improve replay quality. Note that this will prevent you from uploading you replays to the highscore! Oh and completely unrelated: Did you know that you can change the camera in the replays since our very old versions? We added a small documentation here: https://unrailed-wiki.com/page/Replay

[ 2023-06-23 18:14:01 CET ] [ Original post ]

Beloved railroad engineers, on the experimental branch, we pushed some fixes around the kick/ban feature. Some of you accidentally banned friends and sometimes the block did not correctly work. The idea is the following: - You can kick as before but kicked players can join again if they want. - When kicking, you'll be asked whether you want to block the player as well. If the host blocked the player, the player will never be able to join any session of the host again. You can unblock in the main menu under "Blocked Players". - Additionally, we can issue global blocks ("bans"). Banned players will be automatically blocked from every session if the host did not un-ban the player via the block list locally. Changelog: - Improvement: Kicked players no longer get added to block list automatically. Instead, a popup appears to ask whether you want to block the player as well. - Improvement: The block list now indicates which blocks are global blocks - Fix: Player flickering when in block list - Fix: Lost achievement reachable in shop - Fix: (Hopefully) Controller remapping can no longer unbind movement stick - Fix: Invite friends option reappeared in lobby - Fix: Crash dumper sometimes having issues - Neat: You can add replayfps [fps] to you setting file to improve replay quality. Note that this will prevent you from uploading you replays to the highscore!

Heya railroad workers! A new experimental version is ready! Many things under the hood changed as we finally merged now all console versions into the main branch. Also, the last Steam Deck submission gave us only "playable" but not yet "verified", since some texts were too small and keyboard-icons were still shown. This should now be fixed and we just re-submitted for a new verification. Changelog 2.0-3d41f289a (compatible with production version except for time mode) - Improvement: General performance improvements (shader improvements, map-gen is more efficient, lag-spikes should be reduced). Especially for low-end devices should profit. - Improvement: Steam Deck has higher UI font-size and allows zooming during the game (with select) and hides keyboard UI elements until a keyboard button is pressed - Bug fix: Escape menu missing in the last experimental version - Change: Non-modifiable controls in the "manage controller" menu are shown at the bottom (eg menu controls) - Crash fix: "Yeti-Bug". Killing Yetis and Snowmen could lead to crashes (when new and old versions were playing together (eg PC & Console cross-plays)). Edit: Yeti-Bug added to list

Heya railroad workers! We've just added the option to remap keyboard and controller configurations to the in-game menu. This should make it easier to set up your input device just in the way you want it. Also, FYI, we've made some balancing changes to the time-mode. And that's it for now!

[ 2021-07-08 19:47:56 CET ] [ Original post ]

Changelog 2.0-65e21b605: *Balance: All biomes can now appear on all difficulties in Time Mode (but each session only 3 distinct ones) *Balance: The mars vines will now also be mined as fast as specified by the global mine-speed in Time Mode *Balance: The "40s not crafting task" will not appear in Time Mode *Bug fix: Non fitting animals spawning in the first map part in Time Mode *Bug fix: The milk wagon will not appear in Time Mode, when no biomes with animals are chosen *Improvement: (hopefully) better random number generation for the wagons and tasks in Time Mode

[ 2021-07-07 22:04:13 CET ] [ Original post ]

Changelog 2.0-be0a220de Balance: In Time mode, only three different biomes based on the seed will appear during a session (the starting biome will be the "lowest" biome and some biomes appear only on harder difficulties)

[ 2021-07-06 23:03:05 CET ] [ Original post ]

Changelog 2.0-61b147ea6 *Improvement: Versus maps generate a lot faster (especially easy and extreme) *Bug fix: Hitting respawn sometimes respawns the bot *Bug fix: Generator not finishing on very rare seed *Bug fix: Some versus map were not solvable (especially extreme) *Balance: Time mode has now an upgrade box at the start *Balance: In Time mode, the default wagons will get upgraded normally (not 2 steps at once as introduced with the last patch)

[ 2021-07-02 11:58:06 CET ] [ Original post ]

Changelog 2.0-395208d16 *Bug fix: Credits were missing with the new settings menu (now visible in main menu) *Bug fix: Time mode did not switch the bucket in space / mars *Bug fix: Button Remapping - button removing not working *Bug fix: Button Remapping - problems with Alt key *Bug fix: Input of "+" not working on US keyboards *New: Emoji trigger 3 can now be mapped *New: Respawn button can now be mapped *Balance: First wagon upgrade in time mode now upgrades directly to level 3 (instead of level 2) *Balance: The collector wagon in time mode now increases its pickup speed beyond level 3 only when supercharged (but not when upgraded) Concerning the live version & highscores: Unfortunately the highscore server did not accept highscores last week due to an issue which should be fixed now :). You can re-upload your replays from the replay-screen via [ESC]->[Upload Replay to highscore server] if you want to add it now, Also most of the (top) replays were down which should also be online again! Furthermore the highscore in-game should load faster since recently.

[ 2021-06-30 22:12:58 CET ] [ Original post ]

Changelog 2.0-8cd96235b *New: Reactivated new settings menu *Balance: Time mode now allows you to upgrade all wagons up to 7 times with the upgrade-boxes. The effect is the same as supercharging a wagon multiple times (except for the crafting wagon which does not increase the track-creation-speed when upgradeded more than 2 times, but it increases its speed when supercharged and being upgraded >=2 times) *Balance: Time mode mining-speed now increases to 150% in the first 5 minutes and to 250% in the last ten minutes. *Change: Milk-Wagon & Box-Wagon can now also appear in timed-mode. *Balance: Mining-Wagon now produces shockwaves with a faster interval when being supercharged (or upgraded > 2 times in time mode). Before, supercharging the Mining-Wagon did even decrease the shockwave interval. *Balance: Milk-Wagon now produces milk faster when being supercharged multiple times (or upgraded > 2 times in time mode). Before, only a single supercharge increased the milking-speed once. *Bug fix: Time mode sometimes does not generate the map far enough after the timer went to 0 *Bug fix: Time mode does not show biomes later than snow (now all biomes can appear)

Heya railroad workers! We're back with an update that includes a new game mode and a bunch of features you guys asked for here on Steam and over on our Discord server ( http://discord.gg/unrailed ). First of all, we are trying out a new game mode - "TIME-MODE" by name - that lets you race against the clock, and puts you against a randomized order of biomes. Next, we've added "auto-save" feature to the checkpoint system: In your savegame list, there should now be a last visited checkpoint as first entry. The savegame won't be deleted when opening it and should hopefully reduce the amount of lost savegames. Just keep in mind that there is currently only one such slot, so if you start a new checkpoint game, the slot will be overwritten by the last checkpoint of the new game. Also note that you can still save at any station or at the last checkpoint just as before, independent of this feature. The kick system has also been improved, now the host has the complete power over who gets kicked which prevents other players from joining and kicking the host. Otherwise, two (non-host) players can also votekick somebody out. You can kick via [ESC]->[Manage Players]. Votekicks should appear as information popup for all other players. There is also now a statistics menu that shows you a lot of stats from the game - like how many trees you chopped and how much time you spend on mars. And finally, we've fixed a lot of the bugs you reported on the #Bugs channel on Discord. As always, should you have some feedback or if you find bugs we haven't fixed yet let us know here or on our Discord server. Changelog 2.0-7e71577fa *New: Time-Mode Beta (non-crossplayable so far, use the extra lobby button in the online menu) *New: Weekly-Challenges (Only available in local lobbies or online time-mode-lobbies) and will be displayed in the highscores *New: Statistics menu (Can be opened from the progress menu. Note that while many statistics have been recorded from quite old versions on, some have just been added and start therefore from zero.) *New: force-https and force-http command line parameters *New: "choo-choo"-sound when dashing the engine *New: The last checkpoint will appear as AUTOSAVE in the savegame-open-dialog and will not be deleted when opening it to make the checkpoint system less frustrating in case one forgot to save the last checkpoint explicitly *New: FNA3D version now default for macOS (giving M1 support) *New: Possibility to generate maps in kids mode without enemies (bandits, yetis, ghosts & blobs) when adding the line disableEnemiesOnKidsDifficulty True in the settings.txt (%localappdata%\Daedalic Entertainment GmbH\Unrailed\GameState\AllPlayers\settings.txt) *New: Czech translation added ( thanks to @SnnPernk from Discord ) *Improvement: Replay sample rate decreasing when the replay is large enough (this should hopefully fix the not complete world record run replays in the future) *Improvements: Many sounds adapted/updated (atmosphere in lava, mars & credits, orange-bolt pickup, train countdown sound in mars, mars engine sound, miner wagon sound) *Improvement: Update to SDL 2.0.14 *Crash fix: Possible crash during online matches or replays when a player was just joining and when having the name-box open *Bug fix: Sandbox change-speed-button triggers the button sound when being ingame *Bug fix: When train wagons crash, commodities might float in the air and engine-smoke might appear *Bug fix: The lava-blob might ignite the train eventhough the blob was already extinguished by a client in online sessions *Bug fix: The bot can teleport commodities in its hand when not being able to reach its destination *Bug fix: The bot is sometimes in a temporary pick/place loop eventhough it could pick up rails when being in the fill-box-state *Bug fix: Ping speech-bubble did not get destroyed when the player went to remove input *Bug fix: The bot could redirect the tracks when the tracks were already connected to the station (always leading to a train crash) *Bug fix: When using split controller and the controller disconnects and reconnects, the game did not correctly recognize the mapping anymore *Bug fix: Controller types (Xbox/PS4) was arbitrary when both types were connected. *Bug fix: When saving and loading the game with a milk-wagon, the milk in the wagon did not have any perks anymore (only fixed for savegames created with this or a newer version) *Bug fix (2nd attempt, please notify me if it still occurs): Music sometimes stopping after dynamite explosion *Bug fix: Collector sometimes stuck picking up a commodity which is already full *Bug fix: Compass wagon level 2 not displaying anything *Bug fix: Some characters are appearing as N (especially in chinese)

After a week of very intense railroad construction and many unfortunate train explosions, the Unrailed! Free-Play-Event finally came to an end! We are incredibly happy and grateful that so many players participated: Almost 10k engineers where building simultaneously at Saturday. We want to thank you for all your support and for trying out our game :) ! On top of that, there are some great news from our publisher: The 50% sale on the game and 30% sale on the supporter pack will be continued until february 8, 10 am PST !

A small winter update went live today that includes a seasonally fitting snowy main menu and a new unlockable character - a reindeer ! In other news, we received many requests of having better matchmaking since with random matching, only lobbies (non-game) session are being found. To cope with that, we added a session-browser (you can also access it via https://unrailed-online.com/sessions), giving you the possibility to join sessions even after the game was already started. Sessions can be found when "allow random players to join" is activated. Note that it can also be deactivated during the game in the escape-menu by the host if you want to prevent players to find your session. And with that we wish all of you happy holidays!

Heya railroad workers! This year's Steam autumn sale just started and that means one thing - it's Steam awards time. If you fancy, you can nominate Unrailed for one of them, for example "Better with Friends", by clicking the button above.

Heya railroad workers! Since our 1.0 launch many players, including ourselves, wanted the ability to join our friends laying tracks on other platforms. Starting November 23rd - today, Steam players can play together with Switch players! We obviously don't want to stop right here and are working further on more additions to the crossplay family - we'll keep you updated once we have a date for this.

Heya railroad workers! The time has come, we're leaving early access and rolling out Unrailed 1.0 Obviously this launch comes with a big update attached . Take a look at the major new features:
Most of this should be self explanatory, just a quick comment about the new difficulties: The kids setting allows you, among other tweaks, to restart at every station. The extreme setting on the other hand takes things to the next level and should be a challenge even for experienced Unrailed players. Also, we're not going to spoil the part about the black silhouette, you'll have to figure out that one by yourself by playing the game . Due to popular demand, we're also adding wallpapers and profile pictures to the supporter pack. And additionally, the soundtrack gets expanded by the Endgame EP which contains new tracks from, well, the endgame of Unrailed and the Nocturne Edition which contains the night versions of the tracks.
Early access has really been an awesome journey for us. When we started working on Unrailed almost three years ago we'd have never thought that such a wholesome community would form around it. The feedback and support we've received from you guys has helped us a great bit in improving the game. And we intend to keep doing that in the future.

Heya railroad workers! Just a quick announcement: As part of our Indie Arena Booth presence at this year's Gamescom we'll do an AMA on our Discord server today (i.e. August 29th) at 7pm CEST (1pm ET / 10am PT). You are all welcome to join and ask what ever questions you have that are somewhat related to Unrailed or game-making in general!

Heya railroad workers! We finally have a release date for version 1.0: September 23rd! At the moment, we are still working hard to get everything ready until then, additionally coordinating the console releases for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One at the same time. We've come a huge way since Unrailed was released almost a year ago and that is very much thanks to you. With your feedback, game ideas and bug reports you've helped shape Unrailed into what it is today. Thank you!

[ 2020-08-21 15:53:35 CET ] [ Original post ]

Heya Railroad-Engineers! If you have read our last announcement what follows should sound pretty familiar. First off, the owl sitting smugly in the tree above joins the character roster (you'll have to unlock it though). Furthermore, there are a couple of performance improvements, bug fixes and some balancing changes. We also threw some new achievements into the mix:
But most importantly, this update adds a couple of quality of live improvements that were requested from our community on our Discord server. A quick selection:

• Players can now reorder wagons in the shop
• There's now a third page of emoji to alert the team to the current quest or to signal AFK-time
• A small notification will pop up when new characters are unlocked
• Many improvements that make the single-player bot smarter

As announced, this is the update that breaks current savegames and replays but is hopefully the last one to do so. If that is new to you, no need to panic - you can still access them by switching to a legacy version of Unrailed (right-click on the game, choose Properties..., then BETAS and choose legacy-0.10-c2379ab4c from the dropdown list). Similarly, you can access old highscores by selecting legacy at unrailed-online.com/highscore Finally, there will be a demo availabe in the next couple of days. In case you aren't sure what to expect from Unrailed, you can now easily find out! Just note that the demo only shows a small subset of the game - there is a lot more to discover and unlock in the full version. As always, should you run into any issues with this update, or have an idea what we can improve let us know below or on our Discord server.

[ 2020-08-17 23:30:15 CET ] [ Original post ]

Heya Railroad-Engineers! We would like to give you the most important details for the next update. The main reason for the next update (scheduled for the 17th of August at 7pm CEST) is pushing the technical base for the full-release-update for the game. The next update is neither the Early Access release, nor the final update. The release will be at some point soon but we can't give any specific information on that yet, except that we are also working on the Switch, PS4 and Xbox One port, which are planned to be released together, if possible. The upcoming update is only a small subset of the new features we are planning for the Early Access release. The update will consist mostly of performance improvements, bug fixes, balancing updates, some new achievements, overall polishing, as well as a new owl character as mentioned before. Due to the balancing and the technical changes we made, the new version will unfortunately be incompatible with existing savegames and replays and the highscore table will be branched off (meaning the old highscores will still be visible online but not ingame anymore). We are really sorry for that :( - we tried to keep compatability for as long as we could but it finally became infeasible to keep migrating all the old data. We will keep the current version on a separate branch on steam ("legacy-0.10-c2379ab4c" which can be accessed in the BETAS tab in the game properties in steam), so that if you wish to play the old version, you can still do so. Note that the update does not affect your in-game progress. Above that, as mentioned previously, our publisher plans to adjust the price with this update due to the upcoming ending of the Early Access phase and we will provide a Demo version. At this point we want to mention how happy we are about all players who joined our community and kept us motivated on working on the game and who helped us shaping and finding new ideas as well as bugs. Thanks to you, we made it thus already into the 11th month of our originally 6 month planned Early Access time. Also, since many players don't know us from the beginning, we want to make a small summary of what has changed in the game during that time:

• Savegames & Checkpoints
• Additional wagons & characters & emojis & ping tool
• Sandbox mode
• Single-player mode
• Achievements
• Online reconnecting & ability to join into running sessions, kicking, etc
• Online highscores with replays
• Accessibility options, widescreen support, new languages, etc
• Linux & macOS versions
• Balancing & Bug fixes & technical improvements
• And more to come soon :)

Thank you all, Indoor Astronaut & Daedalic Entertainment

Heyho again, dear railroad workers! We wanted to just remind you one more time, that after this week - starting 17th of august 7pm CEST - we will raise the price of Unrailed, so it will fit the amount of content and features it has already gotten since Early Access Start. Additionally, as announced last week, we will be bringing a new playable character and the brand new demo onto the table as well - everything hitting the servers at the 17th of august! Best Regards, Daedalic Entertainment and Indoor Astronaut

Heyho fellow railroad workers!

We are delighted to be able to share with you, that we are reaching the last steps of our preparation for the Full Release of Unrailed - and are able to share more specific details about that really soon. One of the few tasks having to be done is adjusting the price of the game, reflecting all the changes and additional features that have been added since Early Access Start. Since we know, that changes in pricing aren't always taken as the most positive thing on earth, we wanted to let you know as far as possible beforehand - and smoothen the change as good as possible - which is why we will be putting Unrailed up on Sale until the price change on the 17th of august at 7pm CEST. But this is not everything - additionally, at the same time, we will be releasing our free Demo and a new character to play as, so everyone who is still wondering if Unrailed is something for them, can test it out after the update hits the servers - with owl power!
Obviously there is far more to share in the future, so stay tuned to not miss the next updates! Best Regards, Daedalic Entertainment and Indoor Astronauts

[ 2020-08-03 17:00:20 CET ] [ Original post ]

Heya railroad workers! This update has been in the works for a loooong time. A single player mode was actually one of the first things we worked on after we bolted down the core gameplay. We iterated through a couple of design approaches, however we never felt that the single-player mode came close enough to the chaotic gameplay that ensues when playing Unrailed cooperatively. But since a single-player mode has been by far the most requested feature since our launch in September, we decided to really focus on that mode and thought a lot about how to make it as interactive and chaotic as Unrailed is when played with other players. And we think this time we managed to get there. What we came up with is the following: When you play alone, the bot will help you out! And just like with human players, you can give it commands using emoji, but the bot will actually follow them. You can even let it know exactly where you want to lay your tracks through and the bot helps you plough through that path. Also, we added a sandbox-mode, where you can customize your train right at the beginning with all things you have already unlocked, to help you train with different train-setups. We hope you'll dig the new modes as much as we do! And as always, should you have any feedback, leave it down here or on our Discord-server.

Hi railroad workers! We just added three new playable characters to the roster! They were developed in collaboration with our Chinese co-publisher bilibili and are in fact modelled after bilibili's mascots.

In other news, we also made some major under-the-hood changes that should improve the game's performance. But that might come with some bugs that slipped past our QA, so let us know if something acts up on our Discord-server here. Finally, Unrailed will also be 25% off until April 27! Take care & stay safe out there! [quote]Changelog:

• New: Bilibili characters added
• New: Mouse can be used to set pings
• New: Bot plays music (from biomes you have visited already) when dashing it in the main menu
• Bug fix: Animations were playing in the replay screen in the background when the menu was open
• Bug fix: Vacuum wagon did only put items in the first box wagon
• Bug fix: Connecting to session ids sometimes not working
• Bug fix: Tools sometimes disappear when disconnecting and holding it
• Improvement: Overall faster rendering performance
• Improvement: Faster initial loading
• Improvement: Unified ingame icon UI
• Improvement: Less memory usage
• Improvement: Vacuum wagon has distance increased + 1 for all upgrade levels and starts picking up now with 2.5 seconds (instead of 3s) per item without upgrades
• Change: Dark splashscreen
• Change: Switched from MonoGame to FNA
• Change: New build naming system
• Change: Slot based savegame and replay system
• Change: Back to old (non-winter) shop music

Heya engineers! We just put the MacOS & Linux versions of Unrailed - which we have been testing on our experimental branch for a while now - live on the main Steam branch. Just a quick note regarding supported OS': We officially support Ubuntu 18.04 and MacOS Catalina, however Unrailed should run on many other Distros and older MacOS versions as long as you have a somewhat recent Mac with an Intel CPU. One more feature for those of you with a reaaally wide screen setup: We now support screen ratios up to 48:9. Here is a preview of what you will look like:
In any case, should you run into any problems feel free to contact us on our Discord server.

Heyho dear Community, its "this time" again - Track Race Challenge Day!

Last Challenge we asked you to get as many animals into a screenshot as possible. You not only turned out to be extremely creative on what "could be called an animal", but you as well made it extremely exciting in the last hours of the challenge. So, without further ado:

our Winners are Nirish and Max with 42 animals! Congratulations!

Honorable Mentions go out to capanda and lue0303, who at one point tied with the recordholder - but unfortunately had a typo in the Seed. Additionally we want to thank Stencil for making it far more easy for us to keep track of all the submissions! Now its time to announce our next Track Race Challenge for the upcoming 2 weeks:

The Fast and.... FuriokY? Finish the Seed FuriokY as fast as possible!

(Please make sure to take the screenshot when the camera is moving back the path you took, after you finished - this way you have the Seed and Time in one screenshot together.)

Heyho dear Community, 2 Weeks ago we started our test-run of our new bi-weekly Challenge "TrackRace". What can we tell you - people went crazy and broke each others record over and over again. ManiaKK, BasstoMouth and TenLetters are the ones that had the longest track created in those 2 weeks: 4321m - what an achievement! This time, we wanted to spice things up a little - so without further ado, here is your next Challenge:

GET AS MUCH ANIMALS IN ONE SCREENSHOT AS POSSIBLE (SEED: AnimaAs)

Heya railroad workers! As is customary we've decorated Unrailed a bit and added a freshly-baked gingerbread man as playable character. Also new: in-game highscore leaderboards with the option to watch the replays of the top players! And with that it only remains to say: Thanks a lot for an INCREDIBLE 2019! We are looking very much forward to what is to come next year and wish all of you happy holidays. Update: Check out our official Unrailed online highscore list here: https://unrailed-online.com/highscore

Heya railroad workers! Alright, time for update number two. It's a smaller one but it comes with two frequently requested featuers - new languages and savegames:
Languages are pretty self-explanatory (and featured in another post), but let me say a couple of words about savegames: We know they are a controversial feature because on one hand, they allow inexperienced players to progress faster, but on the other hand it might take away from the roguelike core of Unrailed. We decided to tackle this problem in two parts: Part one allows you save and quit at each train station and continue if you return - but there is still permadeath - if you crash you have to begin from scratch. This is just a convenience feature for people that want to split their sessions into parts. Part two enables players to progress in the game without having to restart from the beginning if they crash. Here the first station in each new biome acts as a checkpoint. This means you'll still have to work quite a bit for each checkpoint, but allows you to learn quicker from your mistakes. However, games with checkpoints activated are not shown on the online leaderboards. As always, if you have feedback or even already an idea how we could improve our save-system-approach come by our Discord server.

Greetings! You seem to enjoy Unrailed! At least judging by the Discord Server feedback and reactions to our in-game presence. You wouldn't believe how happy we are! A big ""Thank you!"" to you all, delivered in our own, special way. Granted, our game doesn't have that much text, but we still want to make your gaming experience as enjoyable as we can. That's why we bolstered our localization with various new language options:

• Polish
• Japanese
• Spanish
• Latin American Spanish
• Turkish
• Italian

See you in-game!

Our wee little track-building game is now already about a month and a half old! It was a blast to see the community grow this fast and wholesome. Our Discord has reached 2'500 members and Unrailed has been watched on Twitch alone for over 600'000 hours. Even from a competitive standpoint new heights were reached: The previous record featured in our last post has since been beaten by one of nearly double the distance! Since launch we've wached on all these channels for feedback and new content ideas. And we distilled parts of that into our first update. Check a look at the follwing graphic to see what we added and improved:

Heyho, railroad workers! As we already talked about in our recent Community Recap #1 you guys are crazy about proving yourself against your friends and/or rivals. Some more than others - for example, look at Astonkin, QuantillusVarus, Bulba and oilbucket (who got disconnected in between). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e0A97_ryAI This enthusiastic group of our community members came together to create our first official Record: 2.748m Distance. It took them 4 hours and 15 minutes and a lot of nerves, but in the end they succeeded in becoming record holders.
We enjoy the passion you are putting into Unrailed! and even if we cant promise much at this point in time, you can be sure, that we are planning to support this enthusiasm as good as we can and keep on working out those aspects of the game, that our playerbase already is going crazy about - so keep your eyes wide open, so you won't miss our upcoming events. [quote=Discord Member] "This game has introduced me to a new group of people from all over the world and theyre some of the most kind and genuine people Ive ever spoken to, so props to the unrailed team and the discord you guys created which let us come together and have a bunch of fun." [/quote] We are delighted, that seemingly Unrailed! does a great job in transforming strangers into a friendly group of gamers that enjoy getting stressed out by a train that doesnt stop. If you want to be part of this wonderful community - check out our official Discord Server!

Hey, railroad workers! It has now been precisely one week since we dived deep into Early Access territory and presented our precious indie game Unrailed! to the public. And what a week it was the sheer amount of feedback you guys have been delivering on Discord or Steam is mindblowing. And we are already on it. Feedback Since most of the things you are bringing to our ears need some tinkering in the code, it's only realistic that it takes a bit longer to fully implement gameplay feedback (When it comes to hotfixing issues, you can see here the urgent fixes we did right after Early Access Launch) but that was not everything you were talking about in the last 7 days: Aligned to your feedback we reworked a lot of our Discord Server: Content Ideas Even though we already have some great plans of our own, we still appreciate and value the big Hive Mind so keep those brilliant thoughts coming, who knows, maybe you will find your new idea in the game sooner or later. Streams Since Unrailed! is connected to Discord you can easily stream your gameplay via the Discord Feature but if you are streaming on another plattform, feel free to leave us your link, so we can say hi! Competitive Unrailed! might be a co-op spectacle where you work together to achieve your goal but seemingly that doesn't stop you, our community, from trying to test yourself against other players as well. This is why we created a brand new "competitive-section" on our Discord Server, where you are able to share your Distance Highscores or Speedrun Records! If you already want to test your skills: We found a particularly tricky Seed, which some players of our community declared "unbeatable" why dont you give it a try? It is Seed ZH86cCs Experimental Branch As some of you seem to be crazy scientists in your free time, we want to give you the possiblity to test our newest inventions (balancing and/or small reworks) before they are "save". If you dont shy away from possible crashes or bugs, feel free to reach out to "Penta der Panther" or the Developers in our Discord Server. PAX West 2019
Our trip to Seattle right before the Early Access Launch was a great way of seeing player reactions first hand - especially since some people might say, having your teammate right next to you opens up a whole new layer of "fun". Seeing you interact with each other and seeing that the crowd got hyped up watching you wiggle through the maps was the most wonderful thing we could have experienced.
This is it for today's Community Recap, but we have a lot of stuff in the pipelines to make this Early Access Phase an awesome experience for everyone involved so stay on track, cause this train won't stop!
