Railway driving & company management shim Train Life: a Railway Simulator -Even if you are not interested in the railway shim, you may be a fan if you play this work [Developer Interview]

An interview with the developer of the new indie game I'm worried about this project. This time, SIMTERACT development, railway driving and company management simulation TRAIN LIFE: A RAILWAY SIMULATOR to developers will deliver a mini-in-tavy to the developer.

This work is a simulation that can be enjoyed by railway drivers and company management on the stage of Europe. In order to driving a railway, in addition to the attention to the signal and operation instruction, speed management, etc., it is also necessary to cope with fallen trees and standing vehicles on the track, and the weather conditions. In addition, management will begin to create a name or log, and aim for the company's development, new route agreements, and new route agreements, etc. It is also true for Japanese, but if you find a mistranslation etc., it is said that you want bug reporting from within the game.

Train Life: A Railway Simulator is delivering early access for 1,520 yen.

• First of all, please introduce yourself. What is your favorite game?

Mikemike. I'm doing gamers for over 20 years. The first game cleared for the first time is a small game for Mega Drive, Vectorsman , and was 8 years old. Because there was this work, I think that I was extreme by a gaming game.

There are a lot of great games, so it is difficult to say the most favorite game, but the most favorite game series is BIOSHOCK . All series works were played and cleared many times with PC and console.

-Why did you start developing this work?

Mike We have already launched the development of this work after playing the railway simulation game already in the market. I thought If I made a railway game that is easy to play more than anyone? Most of the already rail simulation games have targeted people seeking a full-fledged railway simulation, and I thought it would be complicated and unsuitable for those who wanted to try it freely.

Of course, the complex system itself is not bad. We just thought that many people wanted to step into the world of railway simulation without being scared. However, you can also enjoy gameplay with challenging in this work.

• Please tell me the characteristics of this work.

The first feature of the main way that MIKE player will be excited is the railway company management. The player can drive the train and transport the passenger, but buy a vehicle and hire employees, manage them, and start their business yourself. Aim for the biggest railway company in the EU!

• What kind of person do this work do you want to play?

I would like to play all people who like Mike games. This work has been developed, aiming to be a work that anyone feel free to buy and play. If you are not interested in the railway simulator, you may be a fan if you play this work!

As the railway driving and gameplay simplified, the player can enjoy beautiful graphics and gameplay without worrying about the head to remember difficult driving methods. The tutorial is also easy to understand the basics of this work, so I think you can enjoy this work in the vital!

• How long is early access plans? What factors will be added in the future?

I am planning for MIKE 6 to 10 months. For patches and updates, I think you would be able to follow @TrainlifeGame and developer @SimterAct. As a roadmap for future updates is also available, please check here.

• Please tell me the impression that you have released as early access.

MIKE Emotional roller coaster. Players are committed by constant feedback, and we are repeatedly improving the system so that you can deliver the best during formal release. At the time of answering this interview, I am very happy with the evaluation of very popular on STeam. After meeting a bug fix and a request from the community, I would like to aim for more. This work is supported by the fan community. There is nothing to thank you for everyone.

• Is there a work affected by this work?

Mike yes. He is inspired from other popular simulation games such as Euro Truck Simulator and Train Sim World . We are very respected with these game developers and we think that we should be as they.

-Did you have an impact on development by new coronavirus?

Mike honestly, it was not possible to prevent development by new corona. Most of us are working from home, but they have work very efficiently and there is no problem.
