Locomoto News

Hey Conductors! 🚂

Thank you so much for this past week since release, it's been overwhelming hearing your love for the game. Thank you so much for leaving reviews, reporting bugs, sharing feedback, and coming up with amazing suggestions for Locomoto!




We know some of you have experienced bugs or gotten stuck on certain quests - our devs are working hard to get out hotfixes for this ASAP!

We currently expect a smaller hotfix later this week and a bigger one coming next week. For this week’s hotfix our priority will be smaller bugfixes, and we will be focusing on the known bugs listed in this discussion post.

For next week’s hotfix we'll look into fixing quest blockers for all of you who's gotten locked out of quests, since we want this to resolve the bugs for both new and old players, this fix need some more development time.

In the meantime, we've made sure to share some fixes you can apply yourself to some of the known bugs! Find the fixes in this discussion post, but also in a more frequently updated forum channel on our Discord, right here!

Keep sending us reviews, reports, suggestions, and feedback, we appreciate it so much! Now have a lovely time in Locomoto and we'll see you again soon.

Q: Will the game be released on other platforms?
A: It’s coming to Nintendo Switch later this year!

Q: Is the game singleplayer or multiplayer?
A: The game is a singleplayer experience. However, we encourage you to share your trains and conductors with us and the community, we would love to see how you customize and decorate in Locomoto!

Q: Will my Demo progress carry over to the full game?
A: No, the demo is its own dedicated experience separate from the main game, it even has its own slightly different story.

Q: My character is stuck, Is there a way I can continue playing without having to restart the game?
A: This shortcut: CTRL+ALT+U resets your character to a safe position. This should help in most situations whether you are stuck in dialogue, lost interaction input or physically somewhere in the world.

Q: Where can I find my back-up saves?
A: The game autosaves every time you arrive at a station. If you run into a problem and need to revert back to an older savefile you can find it by going through the debug menu:
- Press § and navigate to “Saving”.
- Your save should be called [SaveName](autosave[number]), press the one you want to load.

❗Remember that any changes will be lost if you jump straight into these saves without saving your game first.

Q: Where can I report a bug?
A: Bugs are best reported through the bot in the Bug-Reports channel on the Locomoto Discord. This will report it directly to our project management tool and make it easier for us to reach back to you when your bug has been fixed.

Don’t have Discord? Use the Bug Reports in our Steam Discussions!

Q: I have a suggestion or idea to share with the devs, where can I do that?
A:
