Hello Dispatchers! Hope that youre doing well and having a great early Autumn. Weve got some great new content planned for release soon, and we thought that wed tell you a little about it -- so stay tuned!

Revamped Tutorial

Our first announcement (and the soonest, releasing in November...) is that were implementing a new and improved tutorial experience! This new tutorial is designed to ease players into the game whilst making sure the experience is as painless as possible. We had some confusion with the previous tutorial, so weve addressed all of your concerns and suggestions to streamline the experience and make it great! Check out the teaser: [previewyoutube=XR9Tt-bh_CE;full][/previewyoutube] This tutorial will also be introducing you to Jozic - an old dispatcher with a lifetime of experience, who will act as your guide throughout the tutorial (and potentially, beyond)...

Upcoming Story

Once youve gotten to known Jozic through the tutorial, youll find that hes a kindly, sweet man - and that he has a whole lifetime of stories to tell and anecdotes to share! Were planning a story mode to not only allow you to get to know Jozic better, but to add a whole new element to the gameplay experience. Were planning this story mode to be completely dynamic - meaning that it wont impact your creativity or freedom at all - and youll still be able to play in the way that you choose, creating the routes that you love. Were coming up with some new features to allow you to experience and play through Jozics thrilling and sometimes unusual tall tales -- well provide some more information closer to the time, but for now, its safe to say that we cant wait to show you what we have in store. We hope that Jozic will help you to get along and enjoy the pure relaxed experience of Rail Route. This story will hopefully help all the people that are struggling now to get the right grasp of the game. We don't have a release date for the whole story but we will be releasing bits especially focused on the tutorial during various updates.

Meet the narrative designer

Thats about it for the news -- but well be sure to update you when the time comes. Id love to take a second to introduce myself quickly, though. Hi! Im Aidan -- I joined the RailRoute team as a narrative designer at the beginning of September. So far Ive designed the new tutorial and had the pleasure of writing Jozics narration, and Im having an incredible time - its great to be a part of the community! If you have any questions or suggestions about the narrative (or just want to chat) Im @Aidan#7172 in Discord, so feel free to ping me. Thanks very much! Thats all for now, and thanks very much for reading. Feel free to leave any thoughts under this article -- Id love to know what you think. Next time, Angel will tell you what else you can expect in the following 1.2 content update. It will bring new System Upgrades in the contracts category! Happy Dispatching! Aidan Follow us:

Rail Route is a train dispatcher simulator. You negotiate contracts, build rail roads, set up routes for trains and control the traffic. Unlock features of your dispatcher interface, upgrade railway network elements and research new technologies that allow you to automate the operations!

Manual Routing

Manual Routing is basic mode to control the rail roads from the beginning of the game. You set up switches and signals one by one. Nothing but your skill and focus prevent collisions.

Automated Routing

Automated Routing helps when traffic becomes busy on a complex yard. You need a few clicks to set up all switches and signals en route. Collision avoidance included. Available later in the game when you unlock it and upgrade the signals.

Building

Build your own rail network to optimize the traffic. Be creative and fill every possible space you have.

Automation

Automation allows you to operate your railway network without your hands on. Your growing traffic does not lock you in the operations, freeing your hands for further expansion. You build the automation sensors and set up route to create when trains go by.

Level Editor

Level editor allows you to create a custom board with everything that comes with it. Create a schematic of your hometown rail roads, your imaginary rail network or even model the Tube rapid transit system using it! The rectangles you see moving can be modern or historic trains, the underground trains, trams, monorails, just whatever you imagine.
