Hello Administrators! I come to you hat-in hand to ask you to nominate our passion project for the Steam Awards! We're working on something special for RAILGRADE fans. Granted it is still a secret project only a handful of trusted players have been able to playtest, but please be rest assured that it is fun and it is more of the RAILGRADE players enjoyed. RAILGRADE brings to the train management genre a unique challenging and yet rewarding experience. With actual end goals and accomplishments you can feel proud for achieving. We want to give players more of that. If that sounds like the RAILGR

Hello Everyone, Based on discussions with players after our last update it became clear new players were missing the modifiers. Ages back in Update 1 we implemented the modifiers feature. This allows players to disable train ghosting, disable the timer, and even give themselves unlimited money. New Update 6 Patch #2, these modifiers can be toggled from the new mission menu. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39259908/5ade3ceb5e039c135f0848bc0d89218f18e39ab6.png Introducing our new game Whiskerwood!

Hello Administrators! Thank you for reading and playing our game! My name is Daniel and I’m excited to show off our many new additions to Railgrade we’ve launched today in Update #6.

Hello Everyone! Thank you for so many players trying out our sandbox mode! And thank you for the feedback and bug reporting! This minor patch is meant to quickly address several issues players have raised, and features requested. Sandbox Save File Deletion {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39259908/42a238fb3c847e5629c0fdf7ff4351eb2c3e635e.png The headline for a number of players is you can now delete sandbox save files from within the save file list. Please be careful, as while there is a confirmation dialog once you delete a save it truly is deleted. Remember, you can always make new backup sandbox saves us

In-Game Map Maker + Steam Workshop Added Hello Everyone! We are proud to announce that Update #4 with its in-game Map Maker and Steam Workshop support is out now! This is a big personal milestone for me, and a point of pride for the team. For me, I've worked on many games before Railgrade. Each time the topic releasing a map maker came up but producers shot down the idea. Now that we're in full control, we've made this map maker a high priority. And now you can us it! But not just any map maker. This map maker is in-game, you can launch it from the Custom Maps menu from the main menu. This sam

RAILGRADE is now verified on the Steamdeck Hello Everyone, This patch was a bit unplanned. Our intention was to go straight from Patch #2 to Update #4, but Valve gave as the honor of a verification pass. After some iteration and improvements to meet their standards bar I am proud to announce that Railgrade is now Steamdeck verified! Changelog wise nothing major to announce. The changes were all User Interface related to ensure text was readable but menus did not overflow. The important bit is Railgrade should now show up in your Steamdeck's verified tab.

New Patch, Changelog, and Sandbox Timeline Hello Everyone! My name is Daniel. I am the lead programmer on Railgrade. I want to introduce this patch by saying every task, fix, change, or improvement, was motivated or suggested by player feedback. Every day I wake up, check your comments, reply when possible, and make tickets. Those tickets then feed into our work over the past two weeks. This patch is meant to improve the early game experience, address as many quality of life requests as possible, and fix the high priority crashes and glitches players reported. What might be most exciting: we'v

Railgrade isn't the game that its trailers and store page led me to expect, and it seems that I'm not alone, given a cursory glance at its user reviews on Steam. Like so many others, I went into this railway management sim expecting something similar to Transport Tycoon, or perhaps an automation-style game in the vein of Factorio... Read more.

Hello Everyone! THANK YOU FOR PLAYING! For those who do not know me, my name is Daniel and I am the lead programmer. Over the weekend we’ve been collecting feedback and ideas from across reviews, forums, and our discord. We want everyone to be able to enjoy this game. We crafted it with care, and now we want to be earnest in listening to feedback. This weekend has been an incredible rush. So many players! And so many requests for improvements. Which is good!
