RAILROADS Online! - An important announcement to the community

Dear Community,

Today we are pleased to announce that with us a new partner joins the journey that is RAILROADS Online!

Who are we? We are astragon Entertainment and we've been working on and with simulation games since our company was brought to life. With our experience and knowledge that spans more than 20 years and our parent company Team17 Group behind us, we'd definitely call ourselves a group of simulation experts. Over the years, we've been working on several other franchises in the simulation genre – and from now on we'll work with these sleek railroads, too.

When the game came on our radar, we immediately recognized both your passion (which is tremendous) and the huge potential of the game. After a few get-togethers with the developer, we are extremely excited about the future and will work together to improve and expand the game. However, we are very well aware of recent controversies and what the mood currently looks like.

To be completely honest, us joining the project was a very spontaneous endeavor. Since late last week, we're trying to catch up with everything that happened over the last few weeks and months and get a full overview. This will definitely take a while to ensure that we're all on the same page. Until then, we really want to hear what your recent impressions and concerns are – please feel free to comment with everything you have in mind. It really matters to us.

Together with Keume (which you 100% all know, much longer than we do), we will read and listen to everything you have to say to better understand your expectations and strive to be as transparent as possible in our communication. To us, it's clear that this is the way to go. Our community managers Jana and Wladi (spoiler: he’s a train nerd) will support Keume from now on, so expect to read their names more often!

Just like mentioned above, we want to emphasize again that we really see a huge potential for the game and after a few of us spent a bunch of time playing it, we immediately saw why. Our team will probably spend even more hundreds of hours in the game (but we won't stop them). So... let's work together to create the best possible experience in RAILROADS Online!

We know you'll have lots and lots and lots of questions after reading this. Please keep in mind that we are not able to answer all of them yet (we reaaaaally need to catch up with things) but do not restrain from still posting them. Just to be clear: We only have good intentions for the game and we hope to gain your trust in the near future. We are aware that this is not granted automatically.

Thank you all so much, we are really looking forward to all of your feedback.

Your astragon Entertainment team & Keume
