Kenapa harus Akses Dini?

“We are running a Kickstarter campaign to allow us to ramp up to full time production. We are then planning to roll out regular updates, which is better suited to the Early Access model. We will be growing the content over time until we reach the desired level where we we leave Early Access.”

Berapa lama game ini akan berada dalam Akses Dini?

“Roughly 6-9 months depending on the outcome of the Kickstarter Campaign.”

Apa perbedaan antara versi penuh dan versi Akses Dini?

“Early Access will have the base game basically done but with less content than the final version. The Early Access period will see the addition of additional features which will depend on the stretch goals reached during the Kickstarter campaign.

In the base game you can expect: Trains, bridges, 10 maps, user made map and mod support, multiplayer, buy out and merge companies, Windows & Linux releases.

Stretch goals may add in the following features depending on the outcome of the Kickstarter Campaign, which will be implemented during the Early Access phase:

Research Mechanic - A research system to allow a player to specialize and optimize their company to suit their player style.

Enhanced Stocks and Shares Mechanic - Diversify your company by trading shares in resources and industries on the map.

Unique Events - Add some spice to your game by adding random events to upset the balance.

Aircraft and Ships - More ways to make more money!

Single Player Campaign - For those who just can't get enough!
Open source - We are big fans of open source. Most of the source code will be available for modding. However if we reach this goal, we will release the whole project under an open source licence while continuing to develop the game.”

Apa status saat ini dari versi Akses Dini ini?

“Trains & Things is currently unavailable, we will first be releasing Trains & Things first to the Kickstarter backers an a phased release to help grow our infrastructure before moving into Early Access.

Apakah harga game akan berbeda selama dan setelah Akses Dini?

“The price we have set is what we expect to, or at least close too, have after we release. We encourage you not to purchase the Early Access if you are not happy with the available content until the time of release.
We will also provide a demo build that is kept up to date with the current build of the game so you can keep an eye on the state of the game before making your purchasing decision.”
