Hello everyoneToday we'd like to share some of the things we've been working on over the past few weeks.As for the release date, we're still aiming for Summer 2026. As soon as we have a specific launch date to share, we'll announce it on both Steam and our Discord server.🎨 Station CustomizationLast month, we finished work on nearly all of the game's core mechanics. One major feature was intentionally left until the very end: station customization.We know that for many players this is one of the most anticipated aspects of the game. That's why we wanted to finalize the station layout first and make sure all activities and workflows felt comfortable before introducing full customization options.Based on the feedback and suggestions we received, the full version will allow you to:Paint walls, apply wallpapers, or cover them with tiles.Renovate every room inside the station, including offi…

Dear Community! First of all - thank you so much for following Train Station Project and for your patience throughout our development journey.We’re excited to share that the game demo will be available to everyone this Friday, August 15th! 🥳Why the wait?The demo has been in the works for quite some time because we wanted to deliver two fully professional language versions right from the start.

- Demo - Devlog 5 - 30 May 2025
Dear Community! We’ve got a quick update regarding the upcoming demo of Train Station Project. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to release the demo in time for the upcoming Steam Next Fest on June 9th. We’ve decided not to rush a version that doesn’t meet our standards. Instead, we’ll be releasing a polished and complete demo in July. We believe it’s better to deliver one solid experience rather than a series of unfinished iterations. 🛠️ What’s the Current Progress? The good news? Most of the features we initially announced are already implemented! We've also added many of your suggestions from the playtest surveys and we’re super grateful for all the ideas and feedback you’ve shared. 🔹What’s Already Been Added? Animals Ragdolls New car models New animations Dialogue system NPCs now perform various new activities Full English voiceover (Polish voiceover is still in production) Reaction…

Dear Community! A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the Train Station Project playtests! We truly appreciate all the feedback you provided through the surveys and your incredible engagement on our Discord server. Although we initially planned to end the playtests on March 3rd, due to the high level of interest, we extended access until March 10th. 🎯What’s Next?

- Playtest Update – One Week Left to Join! - 22 February 2025
Hey everyone! A huge thank you to everyone who has joined the playtests for Train Station Project! Your feedback has been incredibly valuable, and we’re thrilled to have such an engaged community. The playtest will remain available for another week, until March 3, 2025, so there’s still time to join and check out the demo if you haven’t already! 🔹 Why isn’t there a save option? Many of you have asked about the lack of a save system. The reason is simple: the demo can be completed in about 60 minutes, and we’re still actively modifying the game’s save files. If we had implemented saving, your progress would quickly become incompatible with updates. However, don’t worry – the public demo coming in a few months will include a save system! 🎯 What was the goal of this playtest? Our main objective was to gauge your general impressions and gather feedback on the overall feel of the game. Tha…
- Playtest Available Now! - 18 February 2025
Dear Station Managers Thank you for your interest and support for Train Station Project! Your enthusiasm gives us great motivation to continue improving the game. For this first playtest, the game is available in two languages: English and Polish. But don’t worry! In the public demo version, we plan to add support for additional languages so that more players can enjoy the game in their native language. The main goal of these tests is to refine the core mechanics and overall game flow. You’ll find a link to a survey in the game where you can leave your feedback – every opinion is incredibly valuable to us! We also want to highlight that Train Station Project is not yet fully optimized. We are continuously improving and tweaking the game, so better optimization will be available in the full version and the demo. No worries – the final game will run at 60 FPS even on low-end PCs. If your…

Additionally, while we have programmed NPC dialogue interactions, we haven't recorded the lines yet, so this feature will remain disabled for now.
