Tracks is now available to buy in Early Access. We'd like to thank everyone who played the game during its humble beginnings on Itch.io when it started as an entry into a game jam.
This is our first stop on our journey in development and we hope that many of you will hop aboard and provide us with feedback, suggestions and even share your crazy tracks!
Over the next few weeks we will be working hard on implementing new features and polishing what we already have. One of the fun tools we're working on at the moment is the booster, it assists in increasing the speed of your train, but in the hands of maniacs it can propel the train at ludicrous speeds. Check out the gif below
If you spot any issues, or have any suggestions do let us know in the forums. We hope you all have fun and we appreciate all of your support in helping us make this game!

New Objects, Passenger Mode GamePlay And Playable At EGX 2017
Hello Everyone!
We are a little under three weeks away from the release of Tracks: The Train Set Game in Early Access. Today we have a new video to share with you featuring game play of a new work in progress game mode, the passenger game mode. Check it out below:

We hope you enjoy the video, but remember to add Tracks to your wishlist to stay up to date with all news on the game. We aren't very far now and can't wait for you to play it very soon.
Though if you happen to be in the UK and attending EGX 2017, Tracks will be playable at the Excalibur Games stand. Do pop over and play the game! More info on EGX 2017 below:
The Steam page for Tracks is now live! This is exciting because we are a step closer to the games release. The game has been in development for a several months and if you want to keep up to date with the games development progress, make sure to add it to your wishlist.
Don't know how to do that? watch this Gif :D
Jacksepticeye, Nerdcubed, BaronVonLetsPlay and more have played a several month old build of tracks. The latest internal build has changed so much and we're looking forward to seeing what new players will think of the game as it continues to develop.
We've also had a lovely article by Destructoid, some of the comments and thoughts from the writer and community we're looking into. Maybe one day we'll see Thomas the Tank Engine available inside Tracks, but we shall see ;)
What we're looking to do over the next few months is add to the game by introducing some new mechanics and objects. If you have any suggestions to help us, get involved by joining the discussions forum. Share your thoughts, ideas, what you want to see and we'll do our best to get back to you.
We hope many of you will join us as we continue to develop Tracks - The Train Set Game.
