Hello to all fans of our game! The Depo Hostivař update has been out for some time now, so you may be wondering what comes next. Depot fixes and expansion There is still plenty of room to improve and expand the depot. We will therefore focus on it again in the next update and fix the issues discovered so far. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45321274/ebb88362f3668e208ca97a128839086a3213e5f4.jpg Tutorial We know that our game can initially be a little confusing for some new players.

Hello everyone, the new update for Back in Service is now live! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45321274/368a7a4759a00b9b8b6f039530dc3d87c34ba966.jpg This time, it takes you beyond the regular route — to the Hostivař Depot. For the first time, we are taking the train above ground, where you can enjoy the view of the trainsets under sunlight or moonlight. The update adds a completely new part of the Prague metro, new tracks, a new environment, and the chance to drive through places you normally do not visit while carrying passengers. For now, we see the depot as a new foundation for further development. Thi

Hello everyone, next week, a new update for Back in Service will arrive, finally taking you beyond the regular route — into the Hostivař Depot. We have been working on this part for quite some time, and we wanted the depot to feel like more than just a background location, but as another important part of the game world. You can look forward to new tracks, a new environment, a day/night atmosphere, and another part of the Prague metro that you will be able to drive through directly from the cab. The update is now in the final stage of preparation. We are finishing the last adjustments and test

🚇 Transport restrictions are here! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45321274/a30a3442d0bf9fee97586e4b07ba785c4fa8c458.jpg From today, every ride will be a little different again. Transport restrictions are coming to the game – station closures that change the course of each journey. You can choose a specific closure yourself, or leave it to chance and let yourself be surprised. But that's not all – this update brings a whole range of new features and fixes: 🆕 New features Contact transformers now appear along the entire route Ticket inspection no longer pauses the game New radio call to the dispatcher New

Step into the role of a ticket inspector!Our transport company also needs to collect fares — and not every passenger has paid. Some ride honestly, others try to travel without a ticket, or their ticket has already expired.In the new version, you can walk through the entire station and train and check every passenger. Find out who has a valid ticket or pass, and who is riding without one.Each inspection is different. Some passengers pass without issues, others present an invalid ticket… and some will try to run away — it’s up to you whether they succeed!The update also includes bug fixes and mi

Work on the Hostivař depot project is progressing. Most of the required models are finished, and the same goes for the terrain and vegetation. Right now we are focusing on polishing a few details. This includes, for example, more detailed terrain work around the bridge and the tunnel portal, aligning the tracks in the yard, optimizing the vegetation system, and similar tasks. Next up will be connecting the line to Skalka station, implementing the depot features needed for running trainsets, and finishing the switches. The Hostivař depot environment is a large area with plenty of room for futur

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45321274/0dc4a7a7bc267f33217a7f5b573ce8543afb96fa.jpg The 81-71 metro train became an icon of the Prague underground and an integral part of its history. It was first put into operation on May 1, 1978, on Line C and was gradually introduced on other lines as well, replacing the older EČS type. Over more than three decades, these trains transported millions of passengers and became a symbol of everyday life in the capital. Due to their distinctive appearance, they earned the nickname "black muzzle." The gradual phase-out began in 2003 and was completed on July 2, 2009, when t

The launch of our game on Steam is approaching very quickly. Let’s take a look at what’s ahead and what we’re currently working on. New Stations We’re currently focusing on extending the line to Želivského. All the stations are already modeled and textured. Now we need to do a lot of programming, build tracks, tunnels, turning points, and implement everything into the game. We’ll gradually showcase all the stations. Let’s start with Jiřího z Poděbrad. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45321274/018dad6ae4acc47fbe2a55b99f357629a716dca7.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45321274/45daf87948bd714977cdace616c6c25d2c8ac320.jp
