  Update v1.1 is out now!

  Hi Hypertrainers, This update focusses mainly on bug fixes and tweaks. More to come soon! Thanks again everybody for your feedback and support for the game! NEW FEATURES Toy Train Style As requested by one of the game's biggest fans: Alex Chosen! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32452015/c80add9aa22cced2923877d206357e76b0dcdd91.png Sonic Boom Another idea by Alex (thanks!). A sonic boom can now be heard when a train goes through the sound barrier, at 1234kmph. Windowed Mode You can now run the game in windowed mode using the -windowed command line argument. Note that this feature is experimental. The game might not adapt well to non-16:9 window aspect ratios. CHANGES Added more tooltips to help new players. Various localization changes. Various UI tweaks. FIXES Fixed a bug that caused the train to point in the opposite direction when respawning. Fixed a multiplayer bug that caused the game to crash when someone completed a mission. Fixed a couple of minor UI bugs. nkm

  Hypertrain has left Early Access!

  Now it's official! ːsteamhappyː Thanks everyone for your help! Your enthousiasm for the game gave me the motivation needed to get this far. I'm very happy with the result: Hypertrain is a one of a kind train survival simulator. As we say in dutch: een beetje vreemd maar wel lekker! But there's always stuff that can be improved, so expect more updates in the future. Regards, nkm

  Hypertrain v1.0 released! Departing for Early Access on February 28th!

  After almost one year of implementing community-fed feedback, fixing bugs and polishing with bleeding fingers, Hypertrain is now ready to exit Early Access! All the important systems are working (e.g. multiplayer) and the pillar gameplay features have been added. Thanks to everyone who helped me achieve this! I develop this game in my spare time while having a full day job, which can be demanding energy-wise sometimes. But your enthousiasm (next to my own ːsteamhappyː) keeps me motivated! v1.0 will not be the end of the updates for sure. I've got much more stuff on my wish list. Stay tuned. Now follows the list of changes brought by v1.0: MAJOR NEW FEATURES Marauder Boss The head of the Marauder clan hides in his tower of doom. You need to be pretty beefed up to have a chance of taking him out. If you manage though, you'll be rewarded with good(ies). https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32452015/33e264c51a45c407f931ae6f0cf182b4c44dfd56.png New World Settings You can now adjust the world size. The default size is 128x128km but you can now go up to 1024x1024 if you're masochistic. Victory length can now also be adjusted, from 50 to 100 wagons. MINOR NEW FEATURES Build Mode actions are now mapped onto the num pad keys. You can now bring up a command console by pressing F5. The following commands are currently available: hidehud to hide the game HUD and showhud to unhide it. CHANGES Added variety in traffic speed. Improved train explosion effect. Decreased the amount of loops in loopings. Decreased the chance of roads with ceilings. Increased the amount of coins dropped by killed commuter/marauder trains. Speed bonus is now indicated by a percentage instead of a factor. Commuters will now move more goods per trips. Gold items can now contain cards as well (small chance). Decreased the cost of the Luxury Passenger Wagon by 50%. Increased the pay-out of VIP passenger missions by 100%. Construction wagon build mode speed increase lowered from ...
