"A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism" is arriving!
We are happy to announce that the long-awaited "A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism" is arriving on Steam on December 7th! (PT) Wishlist it right now so you won't miss it out!
A-Train: All Aboard Tourism is a business simulation game in which you use the railroad to help towns develop. In the world of A-Train, people gather around stations, gradually developing the surrounding town. As president of your very own railroad company, you are free to build stations and lay train lines as you see fit. What kind of railroad will you create? How will you develop the town? All these choices and more are yours to make.
However, as company president, your job is about more than just developing the transportation network. It's important that you decorate your town by establishing subsidiaries and advertise your company to increase your brand power.
Tourism-based urban planning
In each town, you will find a variety of tourist attractions, from idyllic hot spring districts to ancient historical castles. There are many tourists who would love to visit these locations at least once. However, whether these locations ever reach their full potential depends entirely on your skill. If a destination is difficult to reach, it will receive few visitors, regardless of how stunning its sights may be. Use the railroad, bus lines, and even ferries to envision and enable enjoyable holidays. Your success will surely be reflected in the number of tourists flocking to your town.
All aboard! Tourism is a one-way ticket to urban planning!
Any town you can envision is yours to create! Do you want to see a highly developed metropolis? Perhaps a quiet town, tucked away in the shadow of its beautiful tourist attractions? How about a bustling city with a highly efficient transportation network? You decide the town's future. This story is yours, told with the help of your friends and associates. Now, it's time to get started on tourism planning and begin working towards your ideal city!

A-Train 9 “Beautiful Japanese City” Competition Winners
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSh7GAjEF3Q
Thanks to our fantastic community we had a great response to our recent competition to design a map using the A-Train 9 Japan Rail Simulator map editor or to create some images using the free to download A-Train demo.
It took a while to go through the maps, as you will see when we showcase the winning entries. Some of the effort that went into creating them was extraordinary. (More soon :) ) Full vibrant worlds with intricate and well-designed rail layouts set against stunning backdrops. To say we were impressed would be an understatement.
Not only were the maps wonderful, the layouts imaginative, but the schedules the trains ran at in all these maps was so impressive. Each one could be a tutorial in optimizing a transport network.
The image competition received some great entries using our free A-Train viewer. It was clear that great use of lighting and placement was made. Sunsets and storms featured alongside the mountainous backdrops provided some fantastic "picture postcard" images.

Our technical demonstration of the wonderful world of A-Train 9.
A-Train, a game with roots back to 1984, A-Train 9 the latest version a simulation with more scope and scale than ever.
Grand Simulation
If you are tired of city builder and transport simulators that promise you vast landscapes but deliver small scale scenarios, then A-train 9 is the answer.
Huge 10km by 10km cities can be built. Mountains, seas, lakes, skyscrapers, industries, farms and of course the transport network both rail and road that allow such massive cities to work efficiently.
Creating a world from real life or from your imagination is possible. Detail or trackside and roadside objects, train timetables and scheduling for your transport network that can be as simple or as complex as you like. If you love transport and rail simulators, then A-Train 9 is the game you've been waiting for.
View a Beautiful Japanese City
It's important to us that as many people get to benefit from A-Train 9 as possible. The graphics in the game now allow for such stand-out features as 4K display support, day/night cycles, dynamic weather, shadows and even the option of switching to a comic style similar to cell shading. With all of these features turned on the game looks fantastic. Whole districts of city and countryside brought to life.
Importantly we are keen that the game is scalable. There are myriad options that allow users to lower the graphical complexity within the game that will allow it to work on a very wide range of existing hardware.
With that in mind we have also created the A-Train 9 viewer. Free to download here.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/278550/
This allows potential buyers to test the full graphical capabilities of the game on their own system free-of-charge. To get an idea of the scale and scope of the game while exploring the beautiful Japanese city included. To watch the trains and trucks programmed into the viewer busy themselves as they go about their daily business.
The viewer also allows entry to our great new competition! Check out the forum here on Steam for more information.
