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!
