PAX, GDC, and all things Pandemic Train

[h2]Dear Survivors,[/h2]



Let us start with some Easter wishes for those of you who celebrate it in any way. May you spend these days with a lot of joy and calmness! Let your Easter eggs bring all those happy colors to your lives. You can also simply welcome our little "Pandemic" rat who just can't wait for the Easter egg search! Just use this time to get a little rest :)

[h2]March events: PAX in Boston[/h2]



As some of you may know, we participated in two big events happening in March. First was PAX East in Boston, where you had a chance to play Pandemic Train at our stand. It was amazing to see your emotions while playing and then get to talk with you live about your experience with the game. Especially since many of you were asking about a co-op for Pandemic Train... To be clear, it's not in our plans at the moment, but if you will like the single-player version after its release, we may think about features like that. Big thanks to all who stepped by our booth and spent some time on our Pandemic Train.

[h2]March events: GDC in San Francisco[/h2]



At the same time, another Pandemic Train team member attended Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. It was very eventful and full of meetings with amazing people who've heard about our game! What's more, our representative attended different workshops, including some about storytelling, game design, and designing moral dilemmas in games. As you may guess, the last one will be especially important when it comes to Pandemic Train, as this is exactly what many of you expect to find in our game the most.
(In the photo above you can see the famous tourist attraction of San Francisco - cable cars! Not exactly a train, we know, but close enough to show you a piece of this city!)

If you work in game development and want to meet us and talk about Pandemic Train, let us know, and we can catch up at the Digital Dragons conference happening in May in Cracow, Poland. You can also find us on Discord:

A little nugget of wisdom for today:
"May the wrong trains always take you to the right places."

Beta tests finish & Release date update

[h2]Dear Survivors,[/h2]
As you know, two weeks ago, we launched beta tests of Pandemic Train! Thanks to all who found some time to play and leave your feedback! Many of your comments opened our eyes to some of the game's problems and things that need to be fixed before its release. Therefore...

[h2]Pandemic Train will arrive a bit later[/h2]
We want to address many of your notes and complaints. You've pointed out some stuff about combat that worried us greatly, as well as asked for more train management. We need to think it through and work out some new systems. Pandemic Train is supposed to engage you on many levels, and we don't want to destroy that element by releasing this game too early. That's why we've decided to move its launch a bit. We'll try our best to release the game in 2023, however, we want to give you the best possible game and your feedback shows us there's still a lot of room for improvement.

[h2]Thank you for all this feedback! [/h2]
In April, we will contact the authors of the most valuable feedback from beta tests and reward you with free game keys! Meanwhile, we're going back to work. Expect more news from us in the upcoming weeks.

Motivational quote for today:
Even in the darkest tunnel, always head toward the light!

[h2]Best regards,[/h2]
Pandemic Train team

Beta Reminder

[h2]Hello Survivors![/h2]

It's been a week since we started beta tests of Pandemic Train. Some of you have already fulfilled the survey, for which we're very grateful, as it shows us that we need to work on some aspects of the game. Still, it's only 30 responses out of 300 beta keys sent.

Today we wanted to kindly remind all chosen beta testers to play the game as soon as possible and share your feedback with us in the survey before next Friday, March 17th, when beta tests will be closed.
Thank you for your help once again!

In the upcoming weeks, we'll let you know what will be improved in comparison to the present version of the game and how much time will it takes us to give you a better game that will fulfill your expectations better!

Motivational quote for today:
Remember, always look for the light at the end of the tunnel!

[h2]Survivors, hang on tight! You're in for quite a ride![/h2]

Pandemic Train: Beta Announcements



[h2]Welcome Community! [/h2]

We are coming to you with some announcements about the beta tests! You will probably be happy to know that we are selecting 300 people, not 100 as we announced at the beginning!

That's right!
You guys are really awesome, and we love your commitment, so we've slightly increased the number of people that are going to participate in the beta tests of Pandemic Train.

Next week you can start checking your email inboxes, where selected people will find keys to Pandemic Train together with a feedback survey. Your feedback and opinion on the game are REALLY important to us, so if you're one of the chosen ones, don't forget to fill it out!

To motivate you, we solemnly swear that the authors of the most constructive feedback will be rewarded with a permanent key to the game!

We wish you all the best of luck!
Until the next time!
