Join the Trans-Siberian Railway Simulator playtest on Steam today! The playtest is scheduled to begin in August, and there are limited slots available. During the playtest, you'll have the opportunity to try out the tutorial and take a ride on the locomotive. This serves as an introduction to the free prologue that will be released after the demo.
There is an option to "Request Access," Click on that button to initiate the sign-up process. It is on the main page of the store.
The game has been tested by professionals. We received an extensive feedback. The most important thing is that the game is stable and optimal and there are no major bugs, but it still needs some balance of the gameplay. Due to the fact that the game area is often forested, we have to fill it with more survival events. I think the next round of testing will take place in a few weeks. When we get the green light, we will release a free demo. If the demo gets good reviews then we will release early access to continue working on developing the game with your help.
I will continue to keep you posted on the progress in this topic: https://steamcommunity.com/app/998400/discussions/0/3480742287614079829/
UPDATE 21.07.2021
Hello, everyone!
Trans-Siberian Railway Simulator is still in development and everything is going well. As you can see in the linked videos it's lagging and the optimization and bug fixing is our current goal. After that we can talk about releasing the game in Early Access. Once again we ask for your patience and thank you that you are still here and waiting.
The featured videos show the SURVIVAL MODE. We know that there are a lot of people here who are not interested in it, but take it easy. We offer you a SIMULATOR MODE where you will mainly focus on building and managing your locomitive, unlocking levels, and transporting a cargo.
Not much has changed since the last update. Still testing, polishing and fixing bugs. We are pleased that AI has finally started working as it should. (More videos soon). Please give us some more time and thank you for your patience! Happy New Year to you! May this year bring new happiness, new goals, new achievements, and Trans-Siberian Railway Simulator to your life :)
We have made a tutorial video on how to connect wagons and brake the locomotive with them. Just like the last time video contains our programmer comment.

News
Hello, everyone!
It's been a while. We just would like to confirm that the game is still in development. What is stage of production? We hope it will light things up a little. We are polishing different mechanics, fixing bugs, optimizing, implementing gameplay, coding save system, and working on AI animals and people. As you can see we still have some work left. What we've done so far? SIMULATOR MODE is close to be ready. It contains currently: - Open World map from Novosibirsk to Krasnoyarsk. About 800 km, real scale and real train stations with interiors - Driving simulation, you have to follow the railway signs and light signalling to avoid problems - Locomotive repairing system that is linked to section mode. You can change locomotive parts and control their condition during the trip - Railway wagons system, Simple AI, radio, tools and shops
In parallel, we are working on a SURVIVAL MODE which still requires more time to spend. It contains everything above and additionally: - Survival system with hunger, thirst, alcohol, hangover, illness, hypotermia and fatigue stats. - Advanced AI people, guns, corrupt police officers - Buy/Sell system - Smuggling system with mafia - AI animals, hunting system, and more.
We do our best to finish the game as quick as possible but we have to be sure that we will provide you a good quality product. We appreciate that you are waiting. Thank you for your patient.
We have a small video that shows some basic mechanics. Enjoy!

Gameplay Videos
Hello!
We have for you some short gameplay videos. Please check them out and let us know what do you think. We are still working hard on the first Novosibirsk-Krasnoyarsk route. (about 800 km, 497mi). Real scale and real railroad collocation. It takes time because we want to give you as much side gameplay as we can. You will be able to stop the train anywhere you wish to explore train stations, earn dirty money, buy food, guns, play minigames, hunt, and many more!
Besides driving and servicing our winter train you will be able to buy and use guns, hunt, cooking meat on the fire, sell trophies, and many more tba soon.
We have different game modes and difficulty levels for you what means that
both survival and train simulators fans will be happy.
Many of you ask us for multiplayer - Can't promise at this point if it will be included in early access but we do our best to make it happen and have it on mind implementing each code line. We are still small team so keep fingers crossed.
Cheers!
