Developer diaries #2 - Concerning graphics
Dear friends, we continue to tell you about the development of the project and our current plans!
This time we decided to improve the quality of graphics profoundly. So we develop the dynamic lighting in the game. This will provide more realistic picture in order to feel the atmosphere of the subway.
In addition to the new type of lighting, we are working on an improved system of reflections. The choice of weather parameters will become more customizable.
We want to show you the new graphics as soon as possible however due to the large amount of work on each of the subway lines, we will add new graphics step by step through the levels. You will be able to evaluate the new graphics in the middle of December!
Leave us your opinion about this innovation! What would you like to improve? Your feedback influence directly on the development of the game.
See you soon in the new release!

Developer diaries #1 - Train physics and Free driving mode
As new updates are released, we'll try to add new functionality and improvements of the already available content to our game.
One of the innovations of our next update will be the Free driving mode. Now Players will have a choice: earn coins, making rides, or explore the locations not only as a passenger but also as a driver! This opportunity promises many interesting things, which Player can discover himself: for example, there will be secret places, that could be found in the locations.
We also read all your feedback and suggestions attentively and decided to pay more attention to the train physics. We receive numerous requests and suggestions about improving the train driving physical model (take into account boosts, brakes, rising and falling). Now we work on improving this part of the game, and we're going to show you the results of these improvements in the nearest update!
We're really interested in your opinion: would you like to change train driving physics settings to your own taste or not? Share your feedback in comments!
In addition, we continue developing new environment models. At this time we work on modeling of the open spaces on the lines and also stations of the "Horizontal elevator" type, which are common for such cities as Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore, Seoul, and St. Petersburg.
Please, hang on, a lot more coming!
Improved trains and Passenger mode
Dear Users, we continue to work on our project. We have received a lot of your feedback and suggestions since the last update and fixed some bugs.
In this update we present you 3 modifications of the famous 81-717 train. We improved the driver's cabin view and added more details. Now each train modification has its own cabin and train driver dashboard view. "Passenger" test mode was added to the game: now you can walk through the familiar subway stations!
Stay with us, a lot of interesting things are in development!
Send us your feedback, comments and suggestions! What train model would you like to see in the next updates? Let us know!
The long awaited Update is out now!
Dear friends, we are glad to announce that our big update is finally out! After the first version's release, we've been following all your reviews and questions about the game. We must say that we've made a great deal of work on errors! That's why we would like to thank everyone who helped us with their reviews, notes, and suggestions!
Also, we'd like to mention that we've fully redesigned the location to make it more realistic. Perhaps, some of you will notice that some of the stations now look more like their prototypes. Let us know which stations you could spot!
We've also added new trains!
The trains' traffic system has been fully renewed. There is an opportunity to set up the traffic density. Now you are not only to control your train but also be more attentive; take notice of the traffic lights, as there are other trains ahead and behind you.
Passengers' behavior is now more realistic. They choose a definite route and a station.
There is also a new lighting system.
We also want to point out that this won't be the last update and we are working hard on further versions. In the updates to come, we are planning to add new lines, stations, and subway trains. We are also working on the functionality.
You can take part in game development: suggest your ideas in Steam discussions or contact us via e-mail.
