Model Trains Playtest · published · build 18843515
🌟 We are back with another update! 😊
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Since this build has a considerable amount of changes, you will need to clear existing game data by going to Settings > General > Default and clicking on the "Clear Game Data" button before playing the game. Not doing so may result in crashes or other un-intended behaviour. ⚠️⚠️⚠️
Ok, so now that's out of the way, we have about two sprints worth of updates to show you.
On the player facing side of things, we've been working on our modding tools into a unified framework for all content in the game, be it it created by us or content modders in the future. As a result of this, a lot of our pipelines got optimised and the load times for the game has drastically improved.
The second major update is the context aware help! Depending on what tool is active, you can quickly access context sensitive help by pressing the ❓ icon on the top left of the screen. When you play the game for the first time, this system will automatically kick in and show you context aware help as you start using tools that you have not used before.
We've also been hard at work in creating new assets and content for the game. This process kicked off with cleaning up our existing assets library and making it a lot more cohesive. This is an ongoing process and you can expect more prop in future updates soon. We have also added new locomotives in the game which you can select from the track context menu in this build!
