Pandemic Train: Steam Playtests sign-ups, PGA 2022 and a new perspective

Welcome!

[h2]Today, we have only good news for you! [/h2]



[h3]Steam Playtests[/h3]

Starting today, you can sign up for Steam playtests for Pandemic Train. The number of places is limited, so don't waste your time and sign up now!
Don't let this train leave without you!

[h3]PGA - Poznań Game Arena 2022[/h3]

We also remind you that you will be able to meet us at the PGA next week, where you will also be able to test Pandemic Train. PGA - Poznań Game Arena - is an annual gaming event in Poznań, Poland. It gathers many gamers, publishers and press representatives, all connected by their passion in gaming. This year, you’ll be able to find us there in Pavilion 7th.
We’ll be awaiting your arrival!

We would be grateful if you find some time to fill out a quick survey about your gameplay after you're done playing. Every answer gives us much-needed feedback.


[h3]Better travel experience[/h3]

For some time, we have been testing a solution to the problem that you have been reporting.
“Drum roll please…”

A view of the train during travel!



The new view setting minimizes the negative sensation of moving between cars, but also makes us closer to our crew that we manage. We, as well as our testers, are pleased with this change and look forward to your feedback.

Let us know what you think on our Discord Server, and don't forget to add Pandemic Train to your wishlist.

See you at the PGA!




Pandemic's Train release date and introduction of the Leaders

[h2]Hello survivors![/h2]

The vacations are over, the time of trips to beautiful places has passed as always too quickly…

So we are back with our developer posts on Steam. We hope they give you a respite from your hard work and allow you not to think about studying, work, and the disappearing warm days, at least for a while.

However, before we get to this devlog, we are happy to inform you that we already know the approximate release date of Pandemic Train!

[h3]The game will be released in the Q1 2023! [/h3]
.
We're very excited, but let's put that joy apart and get to what we want to show you right now.

Our Leaders!
You probably already know them from our demo or previous devlogs.
This time, however, we want you to get to know them better.
So we present especially for you Character Cards.

In the attached graphics, you will find all the information about their character. We are very curious which Leader will become your favorite now.
Necessarily, let us know!

[h2]Hello Survivors! [/h2]

Today is the day!
Our NEW Demo is now available for everyone!

We have a new beginning of our pandemic train's story for you to try out.

[h2]What can you expect in the new Demo? [/h2]
  • UI visual improvements
    Our graphic design has undergone a transformation to better reflect the nature of the game
  • Sound improvements
    We have introduced sets full of new sounds. Among others, footsteps on a train, various sounds of gunfire or explosions
  • Brand new tutorial and tips
    The tutorial has been completely re-designed from scratch in order to provide as much knowledge as possible
  • A morgue car
    The place you have been waiting for, we hope you will take good care of the bodies
  • Headquarters
    You will pay a visit to the organization's headquarters where you will meet the command and be able to tour the place
  • New locations
    You will get to know our 2 new locations prepared as part of the prologue
  • Action points
    This is the points system we introduced you to in dev log 31. Each character has its own action points for each run, the ones you don't use - are lost.
  • You will also meet one of the 4 characters that weren't introduced in the first demo!


At the end of the demo, you'll find a link to a short survey. Your feedback is very important to us, so please, play as much as you want, and share your opinion on the game with us.
