Hi everyone,

We have been developing Train Jumble for roughly one year now and have a big announcement to make.

We want to go to the Kickstarter route to finish our game.

Our demo already let's you experience Train Jumble’s gameplay for many hours. But the game still lacking content to warrant a full release in our opinion.

We want to at least add

  • 2 routes across Europe

  • 8 new passenger types

  • 6 new modules

  • a feature that lets you add more train cars adds effects to the train cars which should enable more build variety.

Each route we'll have 14 or 15 towns you can travel too and 30 collectible postcards. We also need to localize the game.

Adding this content won't be possible with our current budget. The FFF Bavaria has graciously supported train jumbles development with €80,000 and we have invested €50,000 and its development ourselves.

But to finish the game more investment is needed but a strained publishing market has prohibited us from finding funding.

We are willing to invest more of our own money into developing the game, but we need your support to complete the budget. We are looking to earn €25,000 from the Kickstarter campaign and looking to invest €25,000 to finish the game. The cool thing about Kickstarter is that we can show you more of our ideas and if you're really interested, we get to develop more features.

Starting today you can follow our pre launch page on Kickstarter we are looking to gain at least 1000 followers there before we launch our campaign.

Train Jumble @ Gamescom

If you're at Gamescom there is a really cool opportunity for you to win an amazing prize if you follow our Kickstarter page. With the help of plush manufacturer Heunec we have created a 1,5m tall plush giraffe that you can win. There is also 5 Buzzy plushies from our previous game Fireside available to win.

To join the giveaway you need to visit our booth at Gamescom and show us that you followed our Kickstarter page.

We are doing the Kickstarter not just to secure funding but also to verify your interest in our game. We believe there is great potential in Train Jumble and with your support we can finish this awesome game about traveling Europe, managing your passengers and building your train.

Thank you for your support up until this point and we really hope we can count on your further support on Kickstarter.
