Still being developed?

[ricochetv1]

I heard they were shutting down development on this thing. Is that true? False? What's going on?

Unfortunately this is true.
The Publisher Behind the Game (Nacon) have no interest in Train Life and the Development Team (Simteract) can't do anything with Train Life because of this. The Train Life team got moved to the Taxi Life team.

Noooo waaay! I just bought it. I like the game. it has some bugs and problems, but is quite playable. Now I'm playing also Rail Route, a very addictive trains traffic controller game, and the idea of switching to this game was grate. But well... will see.

All these early access are jokes nowadays... Triple A are cash grabs, so are early access now... What is the future of games..

According to a Message in the Official Discord there is a Chance the Devs return to it. They just focus on Taxi Life At the moment, after that who knows maybe the'll return

Train Life was just released on GOG as Early Access title.

So I suppose it means it will continue to be developed? Otherwise it would be a false advertising.

On May 23rd Mike, the Community Manager of Simteract posted this in the official Discord:
"Nothing is abandoned. The further development for Train Life has paused as we're focusing more on Taxi Life for the time being."

Let's cross fingers

Yup.

I think this is absolute nonsense and they just want to keep milking their dead cow.

This game hasn't seen updates in what, 2 years now at least?

There are elements in the game that make it unplayable at times. The sign placement for example is a complete catastrophy.

You can't react just in time to construction sites and always risk to derail if you don't go way below speed limit.

Developement ever only did the least amount of what was necessary for this game.

There is absolutely no heart and soul for the project, which tells everything you need to know about this dev and it's publisher.

Do not buy this game, if you haven't done already, it's an completely unfinished mess!

While I do Agree wit is an Unfinished Mess it is more or less confirmed that development on Train Life will be resumed. And keep in mind thaat it maybe wasn't even the Developers decision to publish it on GOG now but rather the Publishers.

How could you discontinue such a fascinating simulator and leave so many fans orphaned? A more mature and economically stable gaming audience... Who owns this simulator commercially? With an efficient sales and product management team, this simulator would be a huge success. I am deeply disappointed.

The Decision of it came from the Publisher
