Planes, Trains and Automobiles Fest - and us!

Hey everyone,

We hope you’re well and have been enjoying the extended demo since our last update 😊

This is just a really quick post to let you know we are participating in the Planes, Trains and Automobiles fest starting today. We haven’t been able to update the demo (we’ve been hard at work on those exciting things we posted about last time), but we hope the event puts our little passion project in front of more people.



If you have just arrived because of the event, hello we’re Akos & Fabian, and we are so humbled you decided to stop and have a look at Islands and Trains.

We’d love to hear what you think, so please do give the demo a go and let us know either in the Steam forums or social media.

Thanks again for being so supportive.

Hugs to all of you 🧡,
Akos & Fabian

New and improved demo now live!

Hey everyone,

Since we last posted, we’ve been hard at work on the main game and improving the demo you previously played. We listened to all your feedback, came up with some new ideas of our own, and are now ready to show you what we’ve been cooking up :)



Available right now, the demo features:

🗺️ A larger 50x50 square map
📖 Improved tutorial
🏪 New Buildings Inc. a Townhall, bakery, swimming pool and an alpine cabin
🎨 Colour customisation for buildings and trains
🚂 Talking of trains, there are new trains to bring your island to life
🐄 New animals. And yes, you can pet them!

We’d love to hear what you think, so please do give the new version a go and let us know!

But that’s not all. We’ve also been planning out new things we want to add to the game. We’re not going to spoil everything right away, so we’ll be covering these in more detail in upcoming posts but here is a little teaser...

🛣️🌊🌻🚨🚃⚽🎛️

See you if you can guess what they might be.

Thanks again for being so supportive. We really hope you enjoy what we’ve been working on, and we can't wait to share more with you in the future
