5 days until Early Access!

This is a detail from the Horseshoe Isle scenario - Thoracic Park - a small town depending on nearby fossils. You can build on the fossils to gain space, but doing so will reduce the passengers and from Thoracic Park

Mistra is a scenario set among ancient ruins. You are not allowed to destroy the ruins, so you are forced to thread your tracks between them

We just pushed update 0.2.0 to the Iron Roads playtest on Itch and Steam. Amongst many other changes, this adds a challenge mode - how many passengers can you transport in 5 (ingame) days?

We are reasonably happy with random maps generation in our train game #IronRoads now, just random task generation to sort out and we'll be updating the beta
