Transit King is looking for Pioneers!

Post by IsoElukka »

Image
Our thanks to orudge and the admins, who gave us permission to enlist! The game's not OTTD for sure, but hopefully something some of you might find interesting and fun to play from time to time.

Here's a short description:

In this new free-to-play tycoon game Transit King, your job is to take over the transport company of Henry Goodwin III, who’s more into horse polo than hard day-to-day work. The surrounding towns and villages evolve into glimmering cities as you fulfill their requests for food, clothing, goods and mass transit. Transit King offers an approachable yet elaborate take on tycoon games with multi-tiered goods chains and gradual expansion into new areas of transit business.

Image

We got big plans for what Transit King can offer with the final release. The current version concentrates on truck traffic, with buses, multiplayer and more to follow. We’re aiming at Fall 2017 release with Summer spent on adding features and polishing them up for the final game. Pioneers with suitable Android devices can hop right in with iOS users to follow soon after. Pioneers are not just glorified beta testers, but front runners whose feedback will help us make Transit King the best it can be! BON Games is a small team from Finland, we're aiming high to bring you a solid laid-back tycoon experience for mobile devices.

Image

WHO ARE THE PIONEERS
- A group of players ready to test beta builds, give feedback and help Transit King evolve during the summer for the launch

WHAT THEY DO
- Give feedback/bug reports/suggestions about the game straight to the devs 
- If they like Transit King, maybe mentioning it to their friends :)

WHAT THEY GET
- Early access to the alpha and beta builds
- Special in-game title of “Pioneer” with a golden nameplate (once the game's complete)
- Premium currency called Transit Notes periodically during development and a big pile on game's launch
- And of course, the eternal gratitude of BON Games team!

For more info, feel free to post questions and comments here, or send me direct messages or email (matti.isotalo@bongames.fi).

Also don't hesitate to ask any questions or shout out comments even if you're not planning on joining up. TT-Forums is transport-enthusiasm condensed, so all the feedback we get is valuable! And if you're an Apple user, contact me and I'll add you to the list. We already got an iOS version, but it needs a bit of updating before sending it to Pioneers.

First of all, thanks for posting. Second of all, let me confirm that IsoElukka did contact orudge first. This message is fully approved. :)

On the same topic, I'd be keen on testing for Android if I may. How do I go about setting that up?

My Scenarios:
Archipiélago Hermoso (Latest Release: Version 3.2)
Turnpike Falls (Latest Release: Version 0.91)

Yeah, didn't want to spam the forum with this before asking the admin(s). It's just rude.

Send me an email or pm here for your preferred email address, and I'll add you to the list. As soon as we've got our end set, I'll be sending you the download/install info and further instructions.

Since the devs of Transit King reached out to us for input, support etc, maybe it would be good to set up their own sub-forum? Surely that would be more active than the one for all the rest of the dead games that still have virtually no interest anymore? :)

If we end up with more than a few pages of content in here, and it's still being posted in a month or two down the line, then perhaps - otherwise it'll just be another empty forum!

I'm totally ok with either option but I agree that if this thread goes silent after a while, there's no point in having the an entire forum subcategory do the same.

Excellent! Send me a PM or email (address in the OP) and I'll add you to the list. As soon as we're set with a build, I'll send you a link and instructions to download. Welcome to the Pioneers!

The Pioneers have now received the game and we've set up a forum for them to provide feedback, suggestions and whatnot. There's still room for more participants, so don't hesitate to message me for an invite! We're hard at work, squashing bugs and bringing in more features on a weekly basis, so if you've ever been interested to see "behind the curtains" how a game gets developed, Pioneer program might be for you!

Are you looking into having this game translated in the future? Asking because I’m a Dutch translator and have been a Transport Tycoon player since forever, so I would love to work on that. :)

I think we have translation covered, but I'll ask about it!

Joining up is most definitely still possible! Just send me a pm or email with your preferred email address and I'll add you to the program! We've had issues with one of the servers and are working towards fixing it as soon as possible. You're not the only one suffering from this. My apologies.

Just a quick update: We've now published the Transit King FB page at https://www.facebook.com/transitkinggame/ and will be using that for news and game info. The soft launch is expanding as well, so you might already be able to try the game out! Go check it out and maybe drop a like while at it?
