History

  • Demoverze - Úplně první verze hry, která nesla označení demoverze vyšla při Festival Steam Next, který probíhal od prvního do sedmého října 2021. Hra vyšla 1.9.2021 v 17:00. Tato zcela první verze této hry obsahovala velmi krátký úsek tratě, což odpovídalo jízdní době zhruba kolem 15ti minut, kde si hráč mohl si mohl zkusit jízdu mezi Dąbrowa Górnicza Ząbkowice (DZ) - Będzin (B). Již v této době bylo původně avizováno, že plná verze hry má vyjít v září 2021, což se nestalo a docházelo k postupným odkladům vydání plné verze hry.
  • Prologue - Druhá verze hry, která vyšla 16.12.2021 a bylo vyžadováno znovu stažení ze steamu a Prologue přinášel novou lokomotivu Traxx - scénář s nákladním vlakem, kde hráč musel odvézt uhlí do KWK Staszic. Zároveň zde byla poprvé představena trať Katowice - Sedziszów. V tomto období bylo stále plánováno, že plná verze hry by měla vyjít do konce roku, ovšem následně došlo ke změně a datum finální verze byl odebrán a nahrazen zktatkou "TBA" (To bude oznámeno) a poté na "Coming soon".

  • Playtest (multiplayer) - Třetí verze hry, která vyšla 7.12.2022, která byla specifická v tom, že sice i když byla zdarma, hráči se museli "registrovat", neboť bylo vývojáři oznámeno, že registrace do playtestu jsou omezené na sloty a k testování se dostali ti, kteří se registrovali mezi prvními a zároveň které autoři schvalovali k testování. Playtest byla úplně první verze, která obsahovala multiplayer (playtest byl také především o multiplayeru), kde hráči stále neměli celý úsek tratě jak ji známe dnes a zároveň také na serverech bylo zatím velmi málo vlaků a stanovišť pro výpravčí a občas se stalo, že hráči neměli z čeho vybírat aby si mohli zahrát s ostatními.
  • Playtest (singleplayer) - Aktualizace, která vyšla 22.12.2022, která cílila na část singleplayeru kde hráči dostali tři výukové scénáře, čímž se mohli naučit ovládat všechny jednotky a lokomotivy, které v tu dobu byly ve hře. Po několika týdnech bylo oznámeno, že k vydání plné verze hry nedojde, ale bude vydána verze EA (Předběžný přístup). Ukončení playtestu bylo 12.1.2023 v 19:00.
  • EA (Early Access) - 13.1.2023 došlo k vydání předběžného přístupu (EA), kde již byla k dispozici kompletní mapa Katovice - Varšava a postupně docházelo k rozšiřování míst, kde hráč mohl být výpravčím a přidáváním nových vlaků. 19.2.2023 byla do hry přidána elektrická lokomotiva EP08, která hráčům zpříjemnila cesty po CMK, neboť vmax této lokomotivy je 140 Km/h.
