  • Sweet Transit, a new train transport sim by Factorio's 3D Artist and developer, Ernestas Norvaišas.
    REALLY have been anticipating this game, so I decided to do the basics off-stream with a normal long-form video.

      it's not. Have you not seen the pointless restrictions they have, turning the game into busywork tedium instead of actually focusing on expanding and increasing the complexity of the network?
      This is by a dude who has worked on factorio. And despite not being a train sim game, factorio train system is orders of magnitude more advanced without even getting mods involved. it is immesurably frustrating to see a great concept, by a dude who worked on one of the greats in the genre of "logistics", screwed up to this degree.

    this reminds me of my previous home. there was a train track directly behind the trailer and it would shake my entire bedroom every single time the train went by. my cat would freak out and hide in the bathtub when we first moved in, but he eventually got so used to it that it wouldn’t even wake him up. i really miss that home. i still live close enough to the tracks to watch it go by every day, but it’s not the same. i’d never imagine i’d become emotional from train transportation, but here i am. this was a really good video 1000/10

      Aside from a squalling baby keeping me awake, the regular eardrum-bursting horn (which is completely necessary in the middle of the fucking night) was just enough to spice up a busy night before a day's work.

    4:15 "Part of the joy of this game is in being bad in it before doing everything in an optimized way", this is one of my favorite aspects of games generally. The exploration of the play space, the free and raw creativity of playing with a new game. Looks like a promising game! I'll have to check it out some time
    Edit: After watching the entire video, I'll add that this game seems to have good pacing. It seems like a few times as soon as some new content or mechanic became "unlocked" was right when you needed it. A train car that transports new cut stone, or a new resource type added right when things were starting to stabilize. This game loos very well paced, or at least the first hour of gameplay looks good!

    When you want trains to be able to take branching paths if one is blocked, like say different tracks at a station to prevent them lining up even if there are available platforms, you need a Chain Signal at the junction where you want it to pick. Otherwise with a normal Rail Signal it will just wait until the way it wanted to go when it left the previous station is emptied.

Despite its age and clunky interface, it has more depth than most games these days, and probably some of the best railway mechanics.
