THE END IS NEAR!

The end of the year AND the final stretch of the P&B, that is ๐Ÿ˜. I wouldn't say we're at the end of the P&B quite yet, but we're getting pretty damn close and I think I'm fairly close to schedule for once ๐Ÿ˜‚

-------------------------------

News:

It feels like every month that goes by goes faster than the last one. Maybe that's adulthood, maybe it's the time of year, but either way I think November somehow was a pretty productive month none-the-less.

I've been laser focused on the P&B and all that hard work is beginning to show. The majority of Grafton is now complete with only two major industries needing some attention. The grain terminal and the ore dock need a lot of work, but the rest of Grafton is looking pretty good. My thought at this point is to just get it good enough to release it early next year. It's always going to be a work in progress and I really don't want to spend another year super detailing a bunch of background scenes when you guys could be enjoying the route just fine without them. That's not to say I'm not going to detail all those background scenes eventually anyway, just not right away.

Outside of Grafton, there's about a 5 mile stretch of track east of Allegheny to Mt. Union that needs a lot of work. Luckily for me is fairly generic main line scenery with a small town or two mixed in. Shouldn't take too long to bang that out.

Once the scenery work is completed I can then turn my focus to all the small things. No, not Blink-182, all the small nonsense I always wait till the end to do. Track marks, signaling, speed limits, track condition, environmental sounds and of course a base session. I haven't decided if any additional content will be included with the route upon releases, like new loco's and sessions, but I'll at least include a base session with configured industries and all that. I'm thinking a content pack with a session or two and some additional loco's or whatever will come later but you guys let me know your thoughts. I'd like to redo the entire roster (its currently wildly overpowered), so maybe that'll be the next thing.

Once the P&B is done I'm definitely jumping into a different project for a bit ๐Ÿฅด. It'll either be the modern DBEV or the NYCH. I'm kinda leaning towards the NYCH simply because it's a real prototype that I have a DEM for and I could use a little break from fictional builds.

Patreon Benefits:

Executive: P&B route update will be available on 12/3 or 4 depending on if I end up working on it over the weekend or not.

Changes include:

  • Completed a lot more scenery around Grafton

  • Includes the new lumber industry at Grafton -though I haven't finished the video yet ๐Ÿ˜”

  • Updated track to the JR procedural track - This is an ongoing process

  • Lengthened the siding a Laurel, though I can't remember if this was in last months route update or not

  • Added more scenery around Huntindon Paper

I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting, so you'll just have to load up the route and see for yourself!

Dispatcher: The monthly live stream for Dispatchers and Executives will be Wednesday 12/6 at 7 pm EST. We'll probably be doing P&B things but I have no idea what exactly. The last one was kind of a flop trying to do speed limits and track marks, etc, so I'll have to come up with something different.

Project Manager: This month's asset pack is another collection of city highrise buildings. Admittedly, the scaling of these things is a little wonky but they'll work nicely as background structures. I tried my best to scale them properly but there wasn't much to base anything off of so I mostly eyeballed them. I think with a little camouflage they'll work well trackside, but most of them don't have main entries so you'll have to do a little kitbashing.

Station Agent: Weekly Wednesday hangouts continue as scheduled. The schedule around Christmas is TBD but we'll figure it out as we get closer.

If you're not part of this tier and are curious what it is, every Wednesday from about 7-9 PM EST a group of us jump into a call on Discord and spend the evening talking shop and working on projects. Usually I'll stream something I'm working on and lately its been the P&B. If that sounds interesting, check it out! It's always a good time.
