Train Fever

[ganzpopp]

Check out the new game called 'Train Fever'

Especially the gameplay video makes me really looking forward to the release!

[APDAF]

This looks quite good but I think this is in the wrong forum.

[welshdragon]

It's also in the crowd-funding stage, so nothing has been firmed up yet!

[Ameecher]

It looks to be very similar in style to Cities in Motion, here's hoping the infrastructure is easily customisable.

Someone could probably clean up if they get this right, but I think they need to provide more evidence about their claim that there are 1 million people in the transport sim community. OpenTTD is free, and they will charge - its got to be good.

[Chrill]

It looks promising but also the game does not look very well thought through. They constructed only 3 routes in this video, yet the Route Window already felt cluttered. I'm not sure a massive empire will benefit from having 230 different routes in that video. What if we are constructing a massive route with 10 trains on it? There must be some sort of Duplicate Order, etc. but I am sure this will all be added. After all, they did say it's Pre-Alpha.

My first impression is why the awfully generic name, 'Train Fever'? It sounds more like the name of a third-rate Wii party game than a transport simulator. There's nothing to it to get you enthusiactic about the product.

As for the product itself: Role-playing elements?...character development?...skill training? Blech! Isn't this a transport empire building game? The only thing I want to develop is a network, not a 'character'.

I think its very exciting, its a been a long time since we had a new decent transport sim, thought it might come through KickStart or similar.

Looks good! Will find some cash for this.

Edit: YouTube vid is great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... vO4I9mIOaw

Looks like someone is finally trying to update Transport Tycoon to the modern day.

I know it's pretty taboo, but I highly recommend fans check out www.train-fever.com

I'm not affiliated with the project in any way, I would just love to see the game released. I am a US resident and thusly can't invest in the project, if I could I would.

can't blame You..
that game has some features i'm missing from ottd.
seems pretty reasonable---

[Buggi]

Check out the videos of the game. Click the "Invest" link at the top and go to "Attachments", screenshots and videos galore!

[Robbedem]

Buyed 2 shares.

[Buggi]

How much per share?

[Robbedem]

20€ per share, and about 3€ for transaction costs end taxes.
But if you buy at least 2 shares you get the game for free.

[Buggi]

I wish I could invest.

But good news for supporters! The project head recently posted that they will be supporting Linux!

With that 50,000 outside investment they are soooo close to their goal!

[Oligarf]

It is a nice way of investing in something you like. After that 50k things went fast. A month to go and just under 100k short of an initial 300k goal. I invested 100 euro.

Train Fever is a modern-day Transport Tycoon (business simulation) based on an engine with a great innovative scope. Specialized in procedural content and urban simulation.

I'm gonna go ahead and say this is the best TT-esque game that's coming up. A shameless rip-off it may be, but it looks like great fun. I haven't played A-Train 9 yet, but I'm fairly confident that this is even better. Backing it for at least 20 euros when I get home.

Look at it here. Also gameplay video is here.

We already had a topic about it

[Nawdic]

Pretty sure there is a third but I'm not too sure.

Oops, I hadn't seen either of those, only checked the first 2 pages or so. Guess this can be closed.
