Railgrade - News - Update #7: New & Free DLC Campaign!

Thank you for playing Railgrade!

[p]We've been working on Railgrade now for 6 years! Oh how time has moved on. I wish it was at least half as fast :)[/p][p]Now, we made Railgrade to be played, and thanks to you all: it got played! So thank you for giving our little train game purpose.[/p][p]As thank you we've put together a little surprise![/p][p][/p]

A New & Free DLC Campaign!

[p]Update 7 brings with it a bunch of new buildings, industries, and even trains! Yet one thing players have been asking for has been new missions! I do not think you'd believe me, and I almost do not, how many players DM'd me asking for DLC. In past updates we added a bunch of optional side missions, but we felt limited in just expanding the main campaign. We needed more: we needed a new campaign![/p][p]So please get excited for a new Railgrade Campaign: Rapid Repo Rescue![/p][p]In Rapid Repo Rescue you take on a new planet. This one's got a problem: a court ordered repossession ! You see, years ago when the colony ship first landed: they landed on the wrong planet! This planet has a different owner! An evil corporation at that! So now you need to rush to rebuild a resourceful planet to recharge the space launcher and rescue everyone before that corporation takes possession![/p][p]Did I mention the corporation has an evil scheme to trap any workers you leave behind to a life of low wages and high company-store-inflation? You better rescue everyone! And quick![/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/39259908/6c991621641bb9734d3ad877cdd79f1bd1ae95bb.png"][/img][/p][p][/p]

Who made it

[p]If you've been following the Workshop map making community you've likely played his maps already: Mortiz! He's one of our community's elite map makers. He took time out of his busy university schedule to craft this brand new campaign. Of course we paid him, cash, but I want to thank him for putting in his time & care beyond the paycheck.[/p][p]We also received a bunch of help from players on our Discord! A hardcore group of players helped Mortiz by play testing early versions of his maps. They spent a bunch of time testing and giving feedback. Plus, and I am quite thankful: no one leaked the surprise! [/p][p]They proved skilled at both Railgrade and at keeping secrets![/p][p][/p]

What's Inside

[p]You'll find the Rapid Repo Rescue campaign on the main menu under the "Bonus Campaign" choice. There you'll find a full menu allow you to play each map as you unlock it. Including an overview of each mission's score, and a total campaign rank.[/p][p]The full campaign rank takes the sum total of your best play times, and the sum total of every map's par time, and treats the entire campaign like a combined mission time. This means you can catch up by playing faster on some maps to compensate for slower times on others.[/p][p]And like all missions: you can enable modifiers to tune the difficulty to your choice.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/39259908/b9df8251082605090e5213f26c24641ddab51802.png"][/img][/p][p]The 11 missions should take about 9 hours to complete. We gave Mortiz access to every yet-unused asset in the game. This meant new trains, new industry, and new resources.[/p][p][/p][p]My personal favourite is the new Natural Gas & Hydrogen set of energy production chains. Complete with a new Gas Powerplant as you see below, plus Offshore Gas Wells! If you scroll to the top of this page you can even spy the on-shore Gas Well Industry.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/39259908/f2f2efec4fb22be6bf45b00b636067bac904debc.png"][/img][/p][p][/p]

Signoff

[p]When we started working on Railgrade I wanted to keep supporting it far beyond release. In prior jobs I felt we had stop working on games too soon. I am thankful for Whiskerwood we've found a publisher in Hooded Horse which values long term support for games and writes their contracts to make that happen. [/p][p]That is why we made this bonus campaign and are releasing it for free. I think Railgrade is special, and I am thankful to everyone who supported us over the years when our rent depended on it. I hope this campaign can give new and old players more of the unique fun Railgrade can give :)[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you again for playing Railgrade![/p][p]Daniel Dressler[/p][p]Lead Programmer on Railgrade[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
