In reply to Rene.

Yes!

Industry Giant and Transport Giant have a lot of the gameplay that I like, but the graphics are blah and track building and signals are pathetic. Station upgrades are cool too.

TrainFever has the graphics. The track building is much better but it still could be greatly improved (level crossings, roads placed other rails, less “collisions”, etc.).

But the most frustrating thing for me in TrainFever is the lack of animation and production of the industries. I want to see my Bigboy pull 100 cars through a working coal tipple which visually loads the cars. Hell, 20 year old games have working animated industries.

Too often I build a route (e.g., coal and iron ore to a steel mill and a separate goods train to a city) and NOTHING HAPPENS! Nothing is produced and the trains all run empty. I want to see some fruit from my labor. I want to see the industries grow and prosper and fill my trains with products. I want to see new industries appear and need service.

I know . . . . YOU NEED DEMAND! I hear that over and over. You know what? Demand just doesn’t happen in most cases and it doesn’t build enough to do much of anything. This is where TrainFever falls flat. It gets too repetitive and boring.

Incorporate the good parts of TTD, Locomotion, Transport Giant. Give me something to transport. Give me something new like a seaport to bring doublestack trains to and freighter ships to export my goods like in A-Train. Give me an inland distribution center to unload my doublestack trains onto trucks for delivery to nearby cities. It’s been said over and over . . . we need a modern version of Transport Tycoon . . . PLEASE!

In reply to Telman3058. IIRC - If I Recall Correctly. Especially common to be used when trying to cover up a vague guess, or when you are truly befuddled and trying to recall a fact of some sort.

Please make Industry Giant 3 as your next game. It’s so nice to build up the factories and transports yourself and micro managing to optimize. I just played a little Industry Giant 2 and thought, if only it was with train fevers 3d graphics instead.

I am looking forward for updates to train fever as well as announcements on your next game. Keep up the good work.

I bought Train Fever right back at it’s release a year ago, I’ve seen it’s changes, some good, some not so good. Even with it’s few faults this is still a great game and for me is the best tycoon type game ever, I still love it a year later.. Great game guys and I’m looking forward to your next release…x

Starting to think we have been taken for a ride with this software company. The worst part is there is never any communication about what they are doing.

Last post was in July 2015!!!! Why is that?

According to your last post, and i quote “In future, seven people will work at Urban Games. One particular highlight is that one of our employees will work as a community manager. As a consequence, you can expect that our communication and community support will be much better in future.” So were is this communication????

Very disappointing that you treat community like this, as they say “Actions speak loader than words”.

Not generating much loyalty here or trust!!! Very sad.

Has it really been released a year ago? I only purchased it a few month back, and initially I was very happy to see a new transportation game, which I am a fan of. However, the more I play, the worse it gets… Graphics and music are pleasing, and that’s about it.
It takes more space than a train station needs to build junctions to platforms when double tracks are built, mostly due to diamond junctions not implemented. Various errors when building railroads or roads, especially with bridges. Errors when trying to cross railroad with road. Inability to destroy road, even when connection to the main network exists. Train depots are PITA also. No option to expand an existing train station. No option to reserve space around tracks/stations for future improvements and so on.
In other words, a BETA VERSION being sold as a finished product. This game has potential, but for some reason devs went after easy money and created an engine in hope that the modding community would further improve and customize it.
