Hi all, For this update I decided to focus all of my time on code, doing things I've needed to do for *years* so no new decorations today, but hopefully you'll enjoy this update all the same for the many new features and improvements that have been made! Autosave & Quicksave Your building progress can now be automatically saved as you play. Autosaves don't overwrite your manually created saves, instead there are three rotating slots dedicated to it. You can choose how frequently it happens in the options menu, or disable it if you prefer. Additionally, you can now press a key (F5 by default) t

Hello there, I’m sure many of you have been wondering what's up with the lack of news / Tracks updates. I won’t go into details but long story short I’m now back to working on the game and I hope to do an update in the near future. As always, if you’ve got any suggestions you can post them to the forums/discord, I'll be a lot more active than I have been. Thanks for your patience! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29269006/e8dc0a51a10ad8cad3dbd65fba753fb6ce8a39e5.png

Steam Deck I'm happy to confirm that Tracks is now working very nicely on the Steam Deck! As part of this work, the game now uses the Steam Input keyboard whenever you need to enter text (if playing with a gamepad) which allows for a much bigger range of characters and has better support for languages besides English. We've submitted the game to Valve for their approval, though if you find any issues with it please post about them on the forums. Other Improvements Added Korean language support Overhauled the language selection menu Improved accuracy of Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese a

Hi all! This update features a lot of system overhauls I've been meaning to do for a long time so there might be some teething issues, but it'll ultimately be for the greater good. The way trains move around tracks has been completely changed to allow for new more interesting track pieces. Many new pieces have already been added and I'll continue adding more if there is an appetite for them. The same goes for the new selection/collision system, it should feel just like the old one for now but will allow for nice new options in future updates. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29269006/6bb7ad3a09c66e823ef483e

Hi all! The next update is nearly ready and I've completely revamped quite a few things. Not all of it will be visible just yet but the upgrades give me a lot of nice new options going forward. Naturally this can introduce new bugs, so if you're interested in getting an early preview of the new content and helping iron things out there will be a beta available for the next week or so. The main new features: Complete rework of how trains move Allows for more complex track pieces, smoother movement and improved train controls ~15 new track pieces New junctions, new pieces, new road/river pieces
