Hi everyone! As promised, we started the new year by posting many short videos of Simulator, the upcoming major update for Derail Valley. 32 shorts were made so far and with this news post we're doing a little recap for anyone who may have missed it. All the shorts from January have been compiled into a single video: [previewyoutube=Mijb9hwDXuw;full][/previewyoutube] Almost every workday we make two videos, with each highlighting or explaining a particular new or improved feature that is coming in Simulator. So far we’ve revealed only about a fifth (and likely less) of all there is to show! If you're curious about what's coming in Simulator, see our [url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/588030/announcements/detail/3633872920419157041]previous post[/url]. The plan is to keep posting these videos all the way until the update release, and already tomorrow we’re continuing their production.

If you want to be notified for each post we make there, you can right-click the channel name and select the option. January has been very hectic with the amount of community engagement. Following the shorts barrage, we’ve received a ton of messages about the game and the update, both from experienced players and those new to the game. While the shorts are hyping many existing players, they are also reaching a lot of people who are seeing Derail Valley for the first time. The future of Derail Valley relies on this update breaching into a larger market, with its many new simulation and accessibility features. So far it’s going great, and the most impact is yet to come around the time of release. Your help in spreading the word is very important to us - make it heard that Derail Valley is taking the genre to another level! The update release plans haven’t changed, and it’s still aimed to be released in Q2 this year (so, between April and June). We’re still not sure when exactly, as new challenges come up while finishing it, but we should know in a few months. We’re getting ready to start doing the translations in about a month. This will be done with chosen members of the translation candidates, who will be given Simulator beta access in return for their help. If you’re interested, join our Discord server and on the onboarding popup (or the Channels & Roles tab for existing members) make sure to select the “I speak another language”, and we’ll notify you when the applications start. You can see how each of the supported languages ranks in the number of candidates here: [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ROT2-8GdIbJOGQa61S-viWG-AWRxbmPRqDtJH2Dyl0I/edit?pli=1#gid=0]DV Translation Candidates per Language[/url]. With that, we’re getting back to work. Thank you everyone who supported us and those who have shown trust in the team over the years! Next month we’ll do another recap of the shorts from February.
