Esports29 May 2026Star JourneyHi everyone, I'm making great progress on a new game where you are a starship captain with a crew. You can also modify and build starships! Travel a living starmap of claimed worlds, hostile fleets, neutral powers, spaceports, unexplored systems, and dangerous anomalies. Take command from inside your ship: pilot through space, raise shields, fire torpedoes, manage power, repair hull damage, con…
Choo Choo Engineers! Thanks to Joaquín Riveros Véliz we know have Latin American Spanish as a language! Also I've added more targeting options to each weapon. Just remember though that auto targeting is against monsters, not structures that can yield resources. My recommendation is to power up an auxiliary weapon that can help with gaining resources and then set an auto targeting option on the…
Choo Choo Engineers! Good news, our weapon technicians have been able to upgrade the Wrecking Ball and Vampire blade with auto targeting/swing options. You can now set them to auto rotate or auto snake. Note : For the wrecking ball you must have at least the first Hurl Level purchased or else the auto rotation will not be able to kick in. There just isn't enough oomph until you upgrade the Hurl…
Choo Choo Engineers, I've doubled the effect values for weapon class specific damage increases. Previously Hardened Bullets, Hardened Spikes, etc. could have a damage boost from 1% to 6%. This is increased now to 2% to 12%. Thanks, GTGD
Choo Choo Engineers! Today our epic and dangerous journey begins! It is up to you to rescue survivors and make it through the apocalypse. I know you will survive and destroy the boss, because you're awesome! Thank you to all the fans and translators who volunteered their time and skill to help make Choo Choo Survivor 2 an incredible experience! Thanks, GTGD
Choo Choo Engineers! I've made a few improvements to the custom colour palette system: · You can now enter a title for your custom colour palette. · You can paste in a quick fill code to auto populate the colour fields if you have one. · You can generate a quick fill code and so share your palette with others. They just have to paste it into their game and done! Also this is a good forum to sha…
Choo Choo Engineers! I've added the option for you to define three custom colour palettes which can recolour the game. You can access them from Game Settings > Colour Palette. You can then click on the Edit button for any of the three custom colours and then type in or copy paste in the hexadecimal colour codes into each of the input fields. Press Apply to apply that colour scheme. You must ens…
Choo Choo Engineers! Launch is not far away! On the 27th of October it will be up to you to rescue survivors and try to erase some of the damage done by the evil Raincoat corporation in Choo Choo Survivor 2! Over the last year of development a huge amount has been accomplished and Choo Choo Survivor 2 will be launching with much more content for you to enjoy than what Choo Choo Survivor 1 had w…
Choo Choo Engineers! Thanks to pe_yang we now have Japanese language! Also Choo Choo Survivor 2 has achieved the wishlist requirement to appear in the Steam front page popular upcoming list on launch day which is great! There is one month to launch and Choo Choo Survivor 2 will be in the October Next Fest. I'll be reaching out to influencers and let's hope lots of them choose to play! Thanks, GTGD
Choo Choo Engineers! It's been an amazing journey, and it is now time to reveal the launch date, which is the 27th of October, so only five weeks from now till we can get our train out of the depot! I'm hard at work on the choo choo rail road and I'll soon have Steam achievements (about 60 achievements at launch) created for the full game. At launch the full game will have five bosses to defeat…
Choo Choo Engineers! I've moved the guard tower track section to after the regular boss. I think it was a bit troublesome trying to avoid activating the survival challenge while fighting the regular boss so I wanted to fix that gameplay issue. So now you will encounter the regular boss first, and just before the end of the level you will come across the guard tower and you can then choose to ac…
Choo Choo Engineers! We’ve reached our demo launch milestone, which means we’re getting much closer to a full release, most likely in late October! I’m really excited we’ve made it this far, and I want to thank everyone who played Choo Choo Survivor 2 . A special thanks goes to those who shared feedback and especially to the volunteers who helped translate the game. I’ve also given the cow catc…
Choo Choo Engineers! The demo for Choo Choo Survivor 2 will be launching on the 5th of September to coincide with the start of the ANZ Indie Festival here on Steam! The demo version will have an Australian A Class locomotive from the state of Victoria and this locomotive is equipped with powerful boomerangs! The boomerangs fly away from your locomotive and then return, hitting everything on the…
Hello Choo Choo Engineers! I'm trying out floating damage numbers so we can all better see how much damage each weapon type does and also get a bit more feedback on screen. Fortunately I've written a different system from Choo Choo Survivor 1 that is much faster and does not affect performance much, but if you do find the floating damage numbers to slow down your experience then they can be tur…
Choo Choo Engineers! Thanks to two very kind Choo Choo Engineers we now have Spanish language onboard! Thanks to Carlos and Juan for their hard work! There are still a few places here and there that are not yet localized and over time we will get to them! Best Regards, GTGD
Choo Choo Engineers! I've built a new camera system for Choo Choo Survivor 2, that makes use of three cameras, and you should now find the graphics to move really smoothly as you drive, and the monsters and background should move smoothly as you chug along at max speed! Hopefully the lines in the mines textures have been eliminated. Every good thing though does come at a cost and here the cost…
Choo Choo Engineers! Our survivors have located a Raincoat Facility, and believe that this might be an origin site for some of the monstrosities that have been emerging! The site is under the control of insane Raincoat mutants and these monsters use jetpacks to do their jump attacks. If you have more than two victories you will see Raincoat Facility as a possible track section in your journeys.…
Choo Choo Engineers! Those train journeys can be pretty long so now you can play your own music. Import your soundtracks through the Settings menu under Sound and Volume. You'll need to give the game permission to access the relevant folder on Windows or Mac and then you can import whatever music you want to! You can replace all of the soundtracks in the game. The Guard Tower has received an up…
Choo Choo Engineers! There is now the option to engage in a 40 minute survival challenge and fight a mighty boss! At 30 minutes monsters will gain 5x health, deal more damage and move faster. They also drop more money as well! You can advance time quickly to 30 minutes by activating the guard tower which is at the 97% mark. Once activated you can upgrade the guard tower from your upgrade menu a…
Choo Choo Engineers! Over the past two months some new dangers have emerged along with some great progress in improving the odds of our survival! Mines are the latest type of track section to navigate through. They are filled with resources, danger and some survivors managing to hide down underground! A few survivors have found a supply helicopter and they can get it flying again! Once the supp…
Great news Choo Choo Engineers! A new locomotive and primary weapon has been brought online, The DRB Class 01.10 fitted with a lightning rod, and the Blaster energy weapon that leaves damaging flames! The Blaster is the most powerful primary weapon so far and the flames left behind by each blaster shot melt zombies in no time! The thrill of operating the blaster is like no other! Our Survivors…
Choo Choo Engineers! There has been some more disturbing news! A handful of survivors made it to our base and they talk of a terrible Vampire Lord who feasts on humans! They say it can summon hundreds of giant blood thirsty bats. This vampire seems to keep humans as food so defeating it will help us gain more survivors! Choo Choo Survivor 2 will be part of the Steam Zombies vs Vampires Steam fe…
Choo Choo Engineers! It is no longer enough to just defeat the boss! Mindless track zombies now emerge on defeating the "boss" monstrosity and we must blast them and drive to the end of the track (good old finish line)! Some survivors think these zombies were once Raincoat researchers. Whatever they may be they do carry lots of money and protein bars! Thanks, GTGD
Hello All, Choo Choo Survivor 2 is part of the Indie Assemble festival here on Steam! Over 1,000 indie games created by more than 600 development studios from 63 countries! Thanks GTGD
