Post-Holiday Schedule & A New Source for Updates!
Hope you all had a happy turkey day! A couple small announcements as we move into another holiday season of development:
Firstly, October's dev vlog with the Mason Bogies and Block Signals will be going up on Youtube shortly. Secondly, November's mini dev vlog to showcase some more in-between work will be rescheduled to the first week of December as team members return from their holiday gatherings (or several trips to and from the north pole by rail!)
And lastly, we now have a Bluesky account as another place to get public updates on the project! For folks who would like a better alternative to Twitter (hi, I'm folks), you can now follow us at https://bsky.app/profile/studio346.net to receive the same public updates!
We hope you stay safe, warm, and happy this holiday season, and we look forward to sharing more progress into the new year. Game development is a marathon, not a sprint, and we will continue working night and day to deliver the best railroading experience that we can with passion and expertise!

WOW!! just managed to get through the vid. The cyl cover glint at the end blew me away. For those not interested so much in empire building, will the included routes be available just to potter about, run some trains and admire the work that has gone into this? On the subject of routes, will downloading and installation of other user created routes be a thing, similar to Train Sim? All the very best to everybody in the team, your work is remarkable and you should be very proud. Have a great Festive Season, be safe and if you cant be safe, be Spectacular :)
The maps will have the option of selecting a pre laid route if you just want to jump in and run trains. There also will be sandbox mode in addition to a campaign mode. With those two things you should be able to basically explore around the map if you so desire. I don't know about the answer for the second question.
We appreciate your guys effort and commitment to this project! Slow and steady wins the race! Keep on trucking lads! Much love and support!❤️❤️❤️
Agreed! Steady and Slow wins the race.
I guess the November vlog will be out today, or it has been delayed again.
Seems it has been delayed again... :(
Here's hoping for modern Baldwin 4-6-0s! ET&WNC, anyone?
*Cough, cough! DEEP inhale.*.......................................Tender for Porter.
I just want to know if the K27 or any of the other "K" class locomotives will be in the game? I just can't wait to drive a "Mikado" around Colorado. Will we get to see Durango and Silverton?
While we saw some k class locomotives in the game announcement trailer, we won't know specifics of what locomotives are in game until it publicly releases. The maps in the game are meant to invoke the feeling of a region with multiple railroads influences rather than be a copy of a singular real railroad. So inspiration from the D&S is possible but I would not expect exact recreations of Durango or Silverton or the rail line.
any word on any type of release dates yet or is it still too far out?
Once we are ready to announce a release date for our game, we will make a big deal about it and ensure everyone knows! But for now the only release date is "when it's done." 😉
I love the artwork and characters! Take all the time you need especially in this busy holiday season. What has been shown so far is wonderful and I look forward to what is in store in the future! Plus glad to see a fem character making an appearance. As some have said I think Dolores is a fine name. Keep doing what your doing, quality content and games can't be rushed.
No vlog this time?
We had to push it back 1 week due to the holiday but it is coming! 🙌
Who’s there with Rico?
Delores. Obviously.
hopefully the game will be done soon
Maybe, most likely in a couple months like February or June ( or whichever is after feb )
Bsky is telling me that's an invalid handle
Search for “studio 346” (with the space)
Hoping to see a exciting update for November and December will a good update! Keep up the good work
Thanks for the update!
I would agree with throwing Twitter in the firebox, but it would probably give the engine indigestion
Ha! No doubt!
Thanks for keeping us in the loop love the work you guys do
