Hey everyone!



Today we've got a new picture for you. I wonder if you can recognise any new features on it? 🤔 🤓

We would like to thank you for your support over the last few months. As developers, we take your feedback very seriously. Since the release of SubwaySim Hamburg, we have been working hard every day to fix bugs and improve the game. It's time to update you on what's been happening behind the scenes!

For various reasons, we have decided to develop many parts of the game from scratch in order to offer you the best possible experience. For example, we have completely redeveloped the entire timetable and interlocking system as well as the AI trains. For you, this means a gigantic update with fewer bugs, better performance and more gameplay!

It is important to us that the release of this mega update runs as smoothly as possible. We have therefore decided to postpone the release of this update to 2024.

We wish you a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and look forward to an exciting year with you!

Your HR Innoways Team

PS: Of course, we also hide new details for you in some of the pictures 😉
