Our All-New User Interface!
Week by week, we’re getting closer to the release of SubwaySim 2. And yet there are still so many things we can’t wait to show you! This time, we’re focusing on something that’s been completely redesigned from the ground up: our brand-new user interface.
[h2]Before You Begin[/h2]
Before you enter the main menu for the first time, there’s one small step to take. In SubwaySim 2, you can choose from a variety of characters. This is where you select your character and give your profile a name. As we decided for a personal touch throughout the entire user interface, you'll meet your profile quite a few times in the game.
[h2]The Main Menu[/h2]
Next up is the fully redesigned main menu, where you’ll find everything you need to jump straight into the game. There’s now a dedicated Quick Play button to start a random journey right away. You’ll also have direct access to tutorials, or you can dive deeper into the game via Choose City.
After choosing your city, you can begin scheduled services, explore tutorials for each train type, or try your hand at various scenarios. You can also easily resume any saved progress here.
[h2]On the Tracks[/h2]
Once you're on your journey, you’ll get to know our new HUD, which has also been completely reworked to match the clean look of the main menu. It now provides all essential driving info clearly and concisely—without obstructing the view of the city.
On the left, you'll see your current tasks, along with helpful key prompts for your next actions.
At the top centre, there’s the new route preview, which shows much more than just the next signal. You’ll get a clear look at the next 500 metres of track, making it easier to react to red signals ahead of time. A new XP indicator appears in the top right, showing your current XP level and a list of your most recent XP-gaining (or losing) actions.
As always, the speedometer sits in the lower right corner, where you can check your current speed, the permitted limit, and your target speed. You’ll also find indicators for door status, brake pressure, and throttle settings.
By the way, if you take a close look at today’s screenshots, you might spot something new: the Career Mode. We haven’t said much about it yet... but that's a topic for next week's post. Stay tuned!
All aboard - join us to gain deeper insights into the world of SubwaySim 2 and make sure not to miss any exciting announcement!
