June 2024 Newsletter
Lawdy, it's June already?! How did this happen?!
-------------------------------
What's New?
I'm happy to report that the P&B has entered its final stages of development!
In an effort to make installation as easy as possible for everyone (think not having to search for 3rd party dependencies or download DLC you don't want for one or two assets.....) I broke a good chunk of the scenery on the route.
Ooops!
After several grueling few weeks of asset replacement, I'm down to only about 36 assets left to swap out. If all goes according to plan, there'll be no need to download anything other than DLS dependencies and the included dependency packs for the route to function. The last phase is some final beta testing then packaging up all the dependencies. And dependencies of the dependencies. And the dependencies of the dependency dependencies....You get the idea.
So I think, we're in the final stretch before release! Hopefully next months newsletter will feature the release announcement!
As for the NYCH Trainz build, it's coming along quite nicely. I've been laying out a lot of the roads and sidewalks so in the next video I can focus on building out and detailing some scenes. I also laid out all of the remaining track mostly during the last Patreon livestream. And work will continue on it during this month's livestream as well.
Once the P&B is totally done and released I can direct my focus back to NYCH videos.
As mentioned last month, N Scale videos will be arriving on the channel some time this summer as well. I've already begun demolishing the current layout and filming the entire process. I also have a decent outline for future videos for the N Scale series.

Patreon Benefits:
Executive: The P&B will be available early next week once I'm comfortable it won't totally break for other people. The NYCH will also be available at the same time (NYCH is an HD build so it will require Trainz Plus to run).
Dispatcher: This month's Patreon Livestream will be Wednesday June 5th at 7 PM EST. I'll be continuing work on the NYCH build.
Project Manager: I've got one pretty cool factory building for the June asset of the month. It's a little high poly but it looks p nice.
Station Agent: Weekly Wednesday hangouts (7PM EST) should continue as scheduled all month.
-------------------------------
That's about all I got for this month.
Thanks you guys for the all the support as always!
