Increased level size and terrain height levels

You can now build PRETTY big levels in Islands&Trains and we have tripled the terrain building height, as well which should give you plenty of freedom for all kinds of lovely builds

TUNNELS

Omg yes, we now have a first iteration of tunnels in the game. The UI experience is a bit clunky in places but you can build straight and curved tunnels and watch your train travel through it. Plus: you can even build terrain on top of the tunnels !

Castles

Among many many new assets we have implemented a series of castle pieces, which you can use to build something like this:

What else ?

  • New train engines and wagons

  • Waterfalls

  • Buildings

  • Track pieces

  • Animals

  • and and and

What is next ?

Now that we put so much new content in and changed the game significantly in scope we want to focus on improving the usability. We know that it can get quite exhausting to click once for each terrain piece, so we will adress that in the future so you can really go big and still have a smile on your face instead of a look of desperation.

We will also overhaul the controls and camera since we have to take into account how big you can build now and sometimes you have areas where you can't look into, depending on how high you have built.

Thank you for support and patience during the development of Islands&Trains and we hope you enjoy these updates !
