All details, including the official patch release video, can be found on our website: https://www.transportfever.com/thank-you-patch-released/ Please find the complete release notes here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/446800/discussions/1/224446432325393106/ As already announced, we have the pleasure to unveil a great new project in 2019.

Today we released a patch to fix some issues that came up with the newest macOS High Sierra. Also, we would like to give you more information about the upcoming performance patch.
The Mac patch fixes two major issues on macOS. On the one hand, systems with the High Sierra OS and NVIDIA graphics sometimes caused the game to freeze during game initialization. On the other hand, there was a bug which caused lags when constructing railroad tracks or streets. The patch is already released on Steam and GOG and will very soon also be available over the Mac App Store. As already announced, we are currently finishing the upcoming performance patch, in order to make the game run significantly smoother. Development of this patch was (and still is) a big amount of work, but we are confident that you will like the outcome. We expect that the patch will be available for testing in March. We are very happy that the success and popularity of Transport Fever allows us to further improve the game. All the best from the whole Urban Games team!

Urban Games is working hard to further improve Transport Fever, with a particular focus on performance optimization. However, in order to achieve a real performance boost, some fundamental changes and therefore more development time is needed.
To bridge the waiting time, we decided to release a convenience patch as a next step. The patch aims to make your player's life easier by introducing several usability enhancements. As a main feature, the patch brings a scalable user interface and therefore better support for 4k resolutions.

Also, the mod selection dialog in the main menu and the autosave feature have been improved. A range of additional small improvements and bug fixes complete the patch. The patch will be available for beta testing starting on October 11 and is scheduled to be officially released at the end of October.

In early May we asked the community to create and submit mods for the “Design the future” modding contest. We are excited about having received many creative contributions, and today we announce the winners!
Contributions include great ideas like a hybrid hydrogen-electric multiple unit, a hexagon residential building, a hyperloop train or a levitation harbor. For those who want to feel the future, we made a Steam Workshop collection with all the creative work here. Please find the winners on our website. Congratulations to the winners! They will receive a Steam private developer comment with further instructions. As promised here, we are currently finishing and testing the upcoming gameplay patch. The patch will be officially released in July. Until then, have a great time!

The gameplay patch brings waypoints for street vehicles, explicit line track/terminal selection at stations, consistent people and cargo when modifying infrastructure, an upgrade to ships so that they can carry more than one type of cargo, an unload only feature for vehicles, and much more. We have also improved other elements of the game, such as tunnels that now actually cut the terrain so that you can see through, or user interface details like that the bulldozer now asks if you are sure when removing large structures. Many additional improvements and bug fixes as well as new modding features complete the patch. For those of you interested in testing the patch, the beta test is scheduled to start on Wednesday, June 21. Information on how to test can be found in the “Testing version” paragraph in the Wiki. Official release of the patch is planned for July. It is a pleasure for us to further improve Transport Fever and we are very happy that still so many players enjoy the game. Be assured that development continues, with major performance improvements being still on our to do list.

We are super happy to officially release the long-awaited usability patch today!

In addition, several new modding features have been added, including a new camera tool to record keyframe camera movement as screenshot sequences.

We are aware that everybody highly awaits the upcoming usability patch. We are working very hard to allow for a release as soon as possible. If everything goes according to plan, we can officially release the patch before the end of March.
The patch will introduce a lot of improvements. To ensure everything runs smoothly and to accommodate the request for a more open development at the same time, we would like to invite everybody to test the patch beforehand. The beta test is scheduled to start on Thursday, March 23 – an application is not required to participate. We would also like to point out that currently a patch for better stability on Mac OS can already be tested. Information on how to test can be found in the “Testing version” paragraph in the Wiki. In addition to the already unveiled features the patch will also include a redesigned line and vehicle window, improved train braking behavior and better late game performance. Also, two new languages will be added to Transport Fever: Text and subtitles will be available in Italian and Portuguese, too. The improved debug mode is tailored especially to the requirements of modders and now also includes a camera tool to record keyframe camera movement as screenshot sequences. In this regard, we also would like to let you know that we are currently planning a modding contest with attractive prizes. With this contest we would like to show our appreciation for the outstanding work of our modding community. We say thanks for your trust in our work and for your patience. We are confident that the upcoming patch will be worth to wait!

We are incredibly happy that Transport Fever was received so well and that the game is still very popular on Steam and similar platforms. Every day thousands of players enjoy the game, and several new mods are added daily to the Steam Workshop. As a consequence, it’s without question that we improve and support Transport Fever also in future. As a next step, we will soon release a major usability patch. Thanks to the huge amount of feedback we receive every day, we identified several usability flaws which we try to smooth out with the next patch.
In addition to various user interface and usability improvements, points of action include the long-awaited replace-vehicles-now button, don’t disable achievements when only cosmetic mods are active, adding names for people, a new layer to display track and street speed, and another round of performance enhancements. Also, there will be several bug fixes and game-play improvements. The upcoming patch will also improve the stability on Mac computers. Unfortunately, there is still a problem with some specific Mac systems where the game can crash after some minutes until some hours of playing. This problem is addressed with highest priority. For those players experiencing this problem, we wanted to again apologize for the inconvenience caused, even though the problem is unfortunately caused by the Mac graphics driver. Thanks a million for your interest in Transport Fever and best wishes from the whole Urban Games team!

Today the official Transport Fever Wiki and mod specification were released.
The Wiki gives background information about Transport Fever’s construction features, management options, game world and campaign. Also, there is a beginner’s guide with tips and tricks. Because the Wiki can be extended by the community we expect that it becomes a comprehensive source of information in future. The Urban Games team is impressed by the amount and quality of mods already released in the Steam Workshop. To further motivate and support development of mods, we have published a modding specification as part of the official Wiki. As an example mod, we are excited to provide a curved train station. In addition, we have released a tool to facilitate modding. With the Model Viewer, modders can preview their models and test features like animations, dynamic aging, coloring, logos, passenger load and more. There is also a feature to automatically create screenshots and GUI icons of vehicles. This said, we wanted to let you know that development on Transport Fever continues and there will be additional patches. Based on the huge amount of feedback we get, we try to improve Transport Fever also in the future. We say thanks for your interest and continue working hard so that we can release a next patch soon!

Today a major performance patch has arrived. In addition to optimizing performance, the patch improves stability on Mac computers and much more.
Simulation, rendering and building performance has been significantly improved. Also, several user interface enhancements like e.g. a fluent mouse cursor or a save game progress bar make the game feel more responsive and fluent. Some issues which occurred on specific Mac systems have been addressed. In particular, a random crash which happened after several minutes playing the game is solved now. Moreover, the terrain tool has been reworked, and several game-play and simulation changes make the game more enjoyable. Also, quite a few small bugs and campaign issues have been solved. Please find the complete release notes here. We hope that you like the latest improvements and wanted to tell you that Transport Fever will for sure also be improved in future. The whole Urban Games team wishes you a great holiday season and a Happy New Year!

Today a major robustness patch has arrived. The patch includes both bug fixes and game-play improvements. Please find the complete release notes here.
On the one hand, the patch solves a list of stability and compatibility issues. Most of the crashes that occurred randomly, at the end of a month or upon user interaction are solved now. Also, most of the crashes that occurred on startup or during initialization due to specific system configurations have been addressed. However, note that still it’s of upmost importance to update your graphics drivers to the latest version available. On the other hand, the patch brings a list of game-play improvements to clear some common misunderstandings. Examples include more accurate visualization of station catchment areas, a maximal waiting time for vehicles set to full load mode, or a new warning to display that an industry has stopped production because its output stock is full. Finally, there are additional improvements, like a more stable display resolution change mechanism or an optimized terrain tool. Also, translations have been improved, and, thanks to great community efforts, both Simplified and Traditional Chinese were added as new languages. For sure Transport Fever will receive additional updates, including the already announced major performance patch which is currently work in progress. At this point we also wanted to emphasize that we are aware that still there are compatibility issues on certain Mac OS X systems which we address with highest priority. If you still encounter problems, please don’t hesitate to write us to info@transportfever.com - we are happy to help. We hope that the newest patch improves your game experience and send the best wishes!

The Urban Games team is very happy about the successful launch last week and is now ready to share the post release plans with the community.
Not only did Transport Fever reach the global top seller spot one on Steam, it also received great review scores like, as an example, 83% in the very popular GameStar magazine. The only thing we don't feel completely happy about is the current Steam review score with “only” about 7 people really happy out of 10. From our analysis we have identified three key challenges: technical issues on launch day, misunderstandings (or lack of explanation) concerning game-play mechanics and performance problems. Based on this, let us present our post release plans. First, we will release another patch to fix the few remaining crashes and clarify the game-play mechanics. For instance, there are some inconsistencies with the catchment area of stations, and running lines with vehicles waiting for full load is sometimes destroying the line frequency, which then leads to industries stopping production. Also, it seems to be unclear that industries with full output stocks stop their production, so a player has to be informed when only a part of an industry chain is connected. Once the game is running stable for everyone, we will focus on improving the performance. We understand that performance is suboptimal in certain cases, heavily depending on graphics hardware, but generally in the late game. Therefore, we plan to release a major performance update to address these issues. After that, for sure we will continue improving Transport Fever. We are very happy to have such a great community of players and fans, and we really feel responsible to support the game also in future and give something back to the community. Let us also to tell you that soon we will release a documentation about modding; Transport Fever was designed modding-friendly from the very beginning and thanks to Steam Workshop support there is huge modding potential available. Finally, we wanted to point out again that if you encounter any technical problems, please don’t hesitate to write us to info@transportfever.com ; we are happy to help!

Today we have released a first stability patch which addresses the most important launch issues. Please find the release notes here. While for the vast majority of players the launch was smooth, systems with Intel HD Graphics chips caused some unexpected problems. In particular, some players experienced a bug which made the terrain to be partly rendered in black. Also, crashes on systems with Intel HD Graphics 520 and 530 occurred. These and additional issues are now solved. Please be assured we give our best to solve such issues with highest priority. If you still experience problems and if you can’t find a solution in the Most common issues or in the support forum, please don’t hesitate to write us an email (info@transportfever.com); we are happy to help. The whole Urban Games team says thanks for your interest in Transport Fever and is further improving the game with full steam!

And don't be scared if after 30 website updates on Wednesdays the next update will be on a Tuesday Thanks very much for your interest in Transport Fever, and best wishes from the whole Urban Games team! And don't be scared if after 30 website updates on Wednesdays the next update will be on a Tuesday ;)

After two years of development, we are excited that today Transport Fever reaches the review state. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/transport-fever-reaches-review-state/]
As of today, members of the press are testing the game. While reviews that include ratings will be published starting on November 8, content producers such as YouTubers are allowed to publish Transport Fever game-play already starting this Friday, October 28, 6 PM (CET). Therefore, expect a huge amount of unrestricted content to be available after that date. Two weeks before the release we are confident that we were able to fulfil a big part of all the wishes, requests and suggestions that were raised over the last two years. We wanted to take the opportunity to express a big thanks to everyone involved in this process. Without the feedback and criticism that arrives us every day, Transport Fever would not be where it is now. And finally, if you haven’t discovered it yet, we wanted to point you to the following release date music video, to be taken with a pinch of salt ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KskfyHjwWgM The whole team looks forward to the final two weeks and hopes that the fever catches you!

Today we have completed the Transport Fever vehicle list. In addition to a bunch of new locomotives, buses, trams and trucks, all cargo train cars have been added.
While the header image shows the European vehicles, the following image lists all American vehicles:
And, for the sake of completeness, here are all aircrafts and ships:
Transport Fever is shipped with 165 individual vehicles. They may look small on these images, but they feature quite a high level of detail, and we are very happy that we were able to realize this vehicle list as planned. We understand that some of you want to see even more vehicles, also from other countries. For this reason, we made Transport Fever modding-friendly, and thanks to the Steam Workshop integration, sharing and installing additional vehicles requires only few mouse clicks! At this point we also wanted to take the opportunity to express our gratitude to everyone who has already pre-ordered Transport Fever. It is a big motivation for us. And finally, as always, we very much look forward to your feedback and comments.

Both the Gambitious Digital Entertainment and the Urban Games team are incredibly happy to release the first Transport Fever gameplay video. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/gameplay-preview-and-official-release-date/]
The 15-minute gameplay preview shows typical scenes from the endless game of the current beta version. Please find the corresponding video on our website: http://www.transportfever.com/gameplay-preview-and-official-release-date/ Also, we today officially announce the game’s release date. We are excited that Transport Fever will be available worldwide for Windows, Mac and Linux, on November 8. We wanted to express our gratitude to all players of the former game Train Fever by offering a 15% loyalty discount. In addition, there is a 10% pre-order discount, and both discounts can be combined: so everyone who owns Train Fever on Steam will be able to purchase Transport Fever at 25% off up until the game's release. This applies to Steam players at least, details for GOG players will be announced a bit later. Please note that pre-order on Steam will start very soon. As always, we say thanks for your interest and look forward to your feedback and comments.

One week before we announce the release date and show Transport Fever game-play for the first time, we unveil another ten vehicles. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/game-info/vehicles/]
This time, we added two locomotives, two trucks and six buses. Highlights include:

• The 4-8-8-4 Big Boy, a real monster of a locomotive which carried the latest in steam technology.
• The GE P42 DC, a recent diesel locomotive with a single, monocoque carbody design.
• The Twin Coach 44-S, a typical American Twin Coach bus with a unique design.
• The Daimler top-seater bus, an early top-seater bus which was in use in Berlin, Germany.
• The Postbus ET 13, a commonly used motor-driven bus built in Austria.

We are very happy to today release the eight developer blog. This time, we present the basics of the campaign game mode. By using an early beta version, we show some scenes of the first mission of the America campaign. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/developer-blog-8-campaign//]
While two historical campaigns each consisting of seven missions are included in Transport Fever, we also wanted to emphasize that thanks to modding and Steam Workshop, additional campaigns or challenges can be created and shared by players. Please find the corresponding video on our website: http://www.transportfever.com/developer-blog-8-campaign/ We wanted to take the opportunity to address the current most frequent question, which is about the release date. The release of Transport Fever is still scheduled for this fall; the specific release date will be announced on this website in two weeks (October 12). This is also the date when we for the first time show Transport Fever game-play. As always, the whole Urban Games team says thanks for your interest and looks forward to receive feedback and comments.

The vehicle page received another update today and now contains all airplanes and ships which will be included in the release version of Transport Fever. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/game-info/vehicles/]
The very exceptional designed Lockheed Super Constellation concludes the list of now 10 airplanes. From the sternwheeler Klondike up to the modern motor vessel Graf Zeppelin, the diverse newcomers expand the existing fleet to 13 different ships for cargo and passenger transportation. In addition, various new street vehicles from Europe and America were added to the list. Please visit the vehicle page to find out more about the new additions: http://www.transportfever.com/game-info/vehicles/ We will still expand the comprehensive pool over the next weeks, among others with additional street vehicles and cargo wagons.

We just released the seventh developer blog video. Today we present how towns look and feel in Transport Fever. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/developer-blog-7-town-simulation/]
Towns form the basis of the game and consist of residential, commercial and industrial areas. Each resident is individually simulated and lives in a specific house. People have places where they go for shopping and where they go for work. Commercial and industrial buildings require end products of the cargo chain. The better a town or city is connected with passenger and cargo lines, the faster it will grow. Since the game starts in the year 1850 and time progresses through the eras, it was a big challenge to develop the town buildings so that they adapt to the eras and change their look. The growth and look of a town is highly dependent on the player’s transport infrastructure. Please find the corresponding video on our website: http://www.transportfever.com/developer-blog-7-town-simulation/ As always, the whole Urban Games team looks forward to receive your feedback and comments!

We are very happy about the mostly positive feedback which we receive since having presented the alpha version at gamescom in Cologne. A lot of new questions were raised, in particular about the campaign and the differences between Train Fever and Transport Fever. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/community/faq/]
Consequently we decided to update the FAQ page once more to address these questions. Currently it is full steam ahead for work on the beta version. Anyway we will supply you with new information on a regular basis also over the next weeks. So we would like to invite you to further write comments and give us feedback! Visit our FAQ page for further information: http://www.transportfever.com/community/faq/

The vehicle page received an extensive and important update today: Passenger wagons and middle cars from multiple units, a core part of the rolling stock. More than 20 models from Europe and North America were added to the current vehicle list. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/game-info/vehicles/]
Our selection includes numerous famous and popular examples from the rich railroad history, like the historical Pullman cars, the very luxurious American Heavyweight Parlor or the cutting-edge double-deck wagons which are still in service today in many European countries. A distinct highlight we would like to point at is the interior of vehicles. In the game individual seats are visible through the windows and passengers are really seated there. In addition, wagons age over time and the player can put logos on the wagons and even change the painting color. Please visit the vehicle page to find out more about the new additions: http://www.transportfever.com/game-info/vehicles/

Today we published a next developer blog. This time, we speak about how we designed the sound effects in order to make Transport Fever a game which is not only nice to look at, but also nice to listen to! [url=http://www.transportfever.com/developer-blog-6-sound-effects/]
There is a multitude of sound effects and they can be categorized as follows: - Environment effects emitted by water, wind, birds, etc. - Constructions effects emitted by stations, industries, town buildings, etc. - User interface effects emitted when bulldozing, track construction, clicking buttons, etc. - Vehicle effects emitted by running trains, aircraft take-off, etc. While all of them are important to reach a high degree of immersion, the vehicle effects for sure deserve closer attention. This is why we show examples of this category in the video. Please find the corresponding video on our website: http://www.transportfever.com/developer-blog-6-sound-effects/ Thanks a million for your interest and feedback. As always, we very much look forward to read your comments and receive your questions!

This week, part of our team is at gamescom. We've joined the nice folks of Gambitious Digital Entertainment to show Transport Fever to members of the press. Therefore, you can expect new previews, reports and interviews to be published over the next couple of days and weeks. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/media/screenshots/]
We want to take the opportunity to give some additional information about the current development situation. While the game is still in alpha, we are rapidly approaching beta state now and target to start the beta test soon. As you may know, the application phase of the beta test is already finished and participants have been selected. Once the beta test has started, we plan to release the game within five to ten weeks. In other words, you can definitely look forward to Transport Fever being in stores (and on Steam) this fall! To ease the waiting, additional updates (including new developer blogs) will be published. As a start, we have updated the today. Finally, let us say thank you for your interest, feedback, comments and participation, which are a great motivation for us. Please visit the screenshot page to find out more: http://www.transportfever.com/media/screenshots/

Today we added another ten vehicles to the existing list. The update includes four ships, two planes, two locomotives and two street vehicles. Three vehicles are highlighted in the following: The Wilhelm ship was built with the support of King Wilhelm I. of Württemberg and was officially the first steamer on the Lake Constance. The Boeing 757, an exceptionally large narrow body plane, is a twin-jet aircraft with over 1000 units built in various variants. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/game-info/vehicles/]
The very futuristic RTC Wrightbus was designed to mimic a train and is in use in the city of Las Vegas. Please visit the vehicle page to find out more about the new additions: http://www.transportfever.com/game-info/vehicles/

We are very happy about the great feedback we received after publishing the gamescom trailer. Though the trailer answered a lot of question, it also raised a number of new ones. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/community/faq/]
Consequently we decided to update the FAQ page once more to answer questions about the new towns, industries and modding possibilities. We are sure, there are still some questions left unanswered, so we would like to invite you to further write comments and give us feedback! Visit our FAQ page for further information: http://www.transportfever.com/community/faq/

We are very happy to today publish a new game trailer. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/gamescom-trailer-released/]
While illustrating all aspects of the game, the trailer in particular highlights the game's towns and demonstrates popular modding options. In addition, it shows campaign elements for the first time and proves that multi railway crossings, a very important element of the track construction tools, are powerful and intuitive. Please find the corresponding video on our website: http://www.transportfever.com/gamescom-trailer-released/ We hope that you like our newest trailer, and as always, the whole team looks forward to receive your feedback.

We would like to express our gratitude for the great interest in the beta test. An overwhelming amount of over 6,000 people applied. This exceeded our expectations by far! [url=http://www.transportfever.com/beta-test-update/]
It is our endeavor to integrate all beta testers into the development process as close as possible. Accordingly we decided that the quality of the beta test will benefit by limiting the available spots. We are sorry that due to this decision a big portion of the applications will have to be rejected. Though the chance is very slim, we will draw the spots among all applicants to guarantee everybody has a shot to get in. We would also like to point out that a part of the applications are not complete and thus will not be considered. However, it is possible to complete and rectify data until Friday, July 22. It is planned that everybody who applied will get notified by email on Tuesday, July 26, about the outcome. Everybody who was picked will receive additional information about the further procedure. Thank you again for the lively participation. We are convinced that with the help of the beta testers we can significantly improve the quality of Transport Fever.

While development is running at full speed to prepare everything for the upcoming beta test we are very happy to today release another developer video blog. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/transport-fever-developer-blog-5-cargo-system]
Based on the criticism we received for the cargo system in Train Fever, we tried to eliminate the weaknesses and fulfil the major wishes. We are convinced that our new approach significantly improves game-play, and that it brings the cargo system to a new level. Please find the corresponding video on our website: http://www.transportfever.com/transport-fever-developer-blog-5-cargo-system Here is a short summary of the cargo system: - About 20 cargo types (six end products are required by towns) - About 15 animated and growing industries - A wide range of complex cargo chains - Stock and cargo type conversion simulation - Realistic cargo flow (cargo items never get lost) As always, we look forward to receive feedback, questions and suggestions!

Today’s update of the vehicle page adds some famous and popular vehicles to the existing list. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/game-info/vehicles/]
Among them there are two new airplanes: The Dornier Do-B Merkur, which set seven world records within a few days in the year 1926 thanks to the pilots Walter Mittelholzer and Georg Zinsmaier. The Douglas DC-4 is a robust prop plane. Quite a few of them were converted for civil use after they served in the 2nd world war. Some are still in operation today. In addition, the list newly contains high-speed trains from Europe and America. A highlight is definitely the Pioneer Zephyr, also known as Silver Streak. Made mostly out of stainless steel, the Zephyr is one of the first streamliner for passenger service and had a very futuristic look for that time. Please visit the vehicle page to find out more about the new additions: http://www.transportfever.com/game-info/vehicles/ There are still a lot of vehicles we would like to present. Therefore please expect more vehicle page updates to come. Finally, let us mention that we are blessed by the huge number of beta test applications we received so far! Registration is still possible until July 17th: http://www.transportfever.com/closed-beta-test-application/ Also, please note that we will release more developer blog videos in the near future.

We value the feedback from the community very much! To allow for a closer look on the state of the game prior to release, we will carry out a closed beta test. This will not only help us to eliminate bugs but also to improve the overall game experience. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/closed-beta-test-application/]
We would like to invite everybody who is interested in participating to fill out the application form. Prerequisites are a Steam account and the willingness to report about the experience with the test version on a regular basis. As we expect more applications than we can handle for organizational reasons, we hope for your understanding that we cannot accept everybody. The link to application can be found on our website: http://www.transportfever.com/closed-beta-test-application/ The application is open until July 17 2016, and the beta test is currently scheduled to start in August.

Again we received a lot of questions about Transport Fever via the various social media channels, via our website and by email. Therefore, the FAQ-page was extended to give more answers. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/community/faq/]
While many questions have aleady been answered, there are still some open questions around, typically on very specific topics. Because we are still evaluating and testing some features, it is simply too early for some questions to give a 100% final answer. We kindly ask for your understanding on this. Anyway, the FAQ page will be further updated during the development of the game, and as always, you are very welcome to send us questions, feedback and suggestions! Visit our FAQ page for further information: http://www.transportfever.com/community/faq/

The fourth developer video blog is all about railroad track and street construction. Trains and street vehicles are essential to create a successful transportation network. Therefore, a lot of resources were put into developing simple yet powerful tools to build tracks and streets. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/developer-blog-4-tracks-and-streets/]
Today's video demonstrates the scope of these tools. Numerous examples show the different ways tracks and streets can be built, upgraded and combined. Please find the corresponding video on our website: http://www.transportfever.com/developer-blog-4-tracks-and-streets/ These tools and especially the corresponding user interface are still under development, and we will give our best to still include wishes from the community. As always, thanks for your great interest. We are looking forward to your feedback!

Today's update of the vehicle page introduces a first cargo ship in Transport Fever. The Zoroaster is considered to be the first successful oil tanker and sailed the Baltic Sea and the Volga in the late 19th century. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/game-info/vehicles/]
Another highlight is the Sixwheeler invented by Matthias W. Baldwin. An innovative design with flexible coupled axis improved the locomotive's traction while at the same time allowing it to drive around tight curves. Next to other vehicles a new plane - the Boeing 757-200 - was added to the list. This twinjet is capable of taking off from short runways thanks to its powerful engines. Please visit the vehicle page to find all ten additions: http://www.transportfever.com/game-info/vehicles/

The third developer video blog focuses entirely on modding possibilities. Modding allows players to modify the game and also to add their own content with simple means. The possibilities in Transport Fever are comprehensive: Existing vehicles can be modified and new ones added to the game. New missions and buildings can be created and so-called script mods influence the game’s behavior in many ways. [url=http://www.transportfever.com/developer-blog-3-mod-support/]
The example in today’s video demonstrates how building can be easily extended with various functions and properties. Please find the corresponding video on our website: http://www.transportfever.com/developer-blog-3-mod-support/ A lot of effort was put into the development of modding interfaces to make sure modding is extensive and flexible, but also accessible. Thanks to Steam Workshop support, installing and sharing mods is a matter of a few simple mouse clicks. Thank you for your great interest! As always we are looking forward to your feedback!

Today we have added another ten vehicles to the vehicle page. With this update we have uncovered about 50 of the 120 total vehicles so far.
Highlights include a German flagship locomotive, the Class 103. It was a very powerful locomotive reaching a top speed of 200 km/h, mainly but not exclusively used on fast passenger lines. Also, we uncover a popular modern-day tram, the Be 5/6 “Cobra”. It is in service in many cities today, including Zurich. Being one of the first low floor trams ever built, the “Cobra” received its name because it runs through cities like a snake. Please visit the vehicle page to find all ten additions: http://www.transportfever.com/game-info/vehicles/

In the second developer blog we discuss our approach to constructions like e.g. train stations or airports. We invested quite some development time to finally offer a smart user interface to build and modify any kind of constructions.
Please find the corresponding video on our website: http://www.transportfever.com/developer-blog-2-constructions/ In addition to train stations, construction examples include bus, tram and truck stations, airports, harbors and industries. The latter are modified by the game itself, i.e. industries can upgrade and downgrade dependent on the player’s performance. One of the main development goals was to make the construction format as generic as possible in order to allow modders to create any kind of constructions. In a next developer blog we will discuss this topic in more detail. Thanks for your interest in Transport Fever. As always, we look forward to receiving your feedback!

We are very happy to see the growing interest in Transport Fever. Today the FAQ page was updated to answer some of the new questions which were asked on the website and across the social media channels. Among others, the answers address topics like track and street construction.
The FAQ page will be updated during the development of the game, so we would like to invite you to furthermore send us questions, feedback and suggestions! Currently, we are working on a next development blog which will soon be published on our website. Visit our FAQ page for further information: http://www.transportfever.com/community/faq/

Vehicles are key to operate a successful company in Transport Fever. During the development, great value was set upon the vehicles features in order to both ensure high visual quality and enrich the gameplay experience.
Please find the corresponding video on our website: http://www.transportfever.com/developer-blog-1-vehicle-features/ The video shows how lights, aging, paintings, logos, interiors and animations work. The tool shown in the video allows for quick vehicle previews. It is not part of the game but may be released within the context of modding tools later on. We are looking forward to your feedback. As always, suggestions and questions are very welcome!

Transport Fever features over 120 detailed vehicles, which will be uncovered step by step on the vehicles page. Today, ten new models have been added to the current list. In addition, the page itself received an overhaul and now features multiple images with different view perspectives for every vehicle.
The update includes a new very popular plane – the Airbus A320 – and a new ship from the Bodensee region – the MS Zurich. They are accompanied by a bunch of new locomotives, including a pioneer in aerodynamics, the PLM 220 C127, and the record breaking Flying Scotsman. More vehicle page updates will follow over the next weeks, and the upcoming developer blog will soon discuss the new vehicle features like aging, interiors, individual paintings or company logos. Visit our website to find out more.

Since the announcement we received an overwhelming amount of mostly positive feedback! It is highly motivating to see that so many people are looking forward to the game. We would like to express a big thank you for the participation by addressing the most frequently asked questions within a FAQ page. While the upcoming developer blog will target topics which require more detailed explanations, the new FAQ page addresses simple questions about the release, gameplay and modding. The page does not claim completeness but instead handles questions not yet answered on existing website pages. Please don’t hesitate to also ask questions and share your thoughts in future. You can be sure that we give our best to incorporate the feedback we receive over the website and the various social media channels. The new FAQ page will be updated subsequently.

We are incredibly happy to finally announce our newest development: Transport Fever is a next generation transport simulation game coming to PC this fall. Players build up a thriving transport company and create complex rail-road-water-air networks. In addition to the genre-typical endless game mode, two historical campaigns offer real world challenges from more than 150 years of transportation history.
A lot of work has been put into the development of Transport Fever. The game offers an impressing list of improvements over the predecessor Train Fever. Please find all details about the new game on: http://www.transportfever.com We hope that you like our newest development and look forward to your feedback!
