Title: Train Control - lead your trains safe!
Post by: Qler on June 04, 2014, 06:51:26 AM
Hi all! I'm completely new here but always is a good time to say hello  :beer:

    We're making a game called Train Control, where You become a "train traffic master" trying to lead your trains to their station using semaphores, switches and barriers across the road.

Game is creating using Unity 3d and You can play a demo here: http://traincontrol.madpixelmachine.com/ (http://traincontrol.madpixelmachine.com/)

It's over half-way done. We'll show you some videos soon but here you have some screenshots of the game to see what is looks like:

Wow, this game is a lot of fun!

Every once and a while it seems like a train doesn't start even though its light is green...

Also, have you considered adding a wildcard, so that sometimes a train has a '?' and can go to any station?

Maybe trains could start with only an engine car but get longer every time they stopped at a station.

Hey Bleezy, thanks for suggestions! There will be a few types of levels and it'll be more than going to certain station.

We'll have a demo version to show you as soon as possible and trains will start faster, so don't worry :)

Thanks for feedback! If you'll have some new ideas just hit ;)

Hey! Here's how graphical setup look like for Train Control. Tracks have been already set, so all I needed to do is to make the terrain smaller, repaint it, set the heights, additional environment objects, combine it all, and bake lights. Took me more than an hour, but hey. Do you see the final effect?! :-)
