Steel Artery: Train City Builder News

[p][/p][p]Hello everyone![/p][p]I am excited to share that the Steel Artery demo is now live and ready to play. The game is participating in the Steam Demo Festival, but I decided to start things a little earlier so you can jump in right away and not wait until the official launch, which will take place on February 23rd. [/p][p][/p][p]We have also prepared a brand-new trailer to celebrate the demo launch, so make sure to check it out:[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]This demo gives you your first opportunity to step into the role of mayor of Steelpolis and build your very first moving city on rails.[/p][p][/p][h3]What’s Included in the Demo[/h3]

• [p]Around 2 hours of gameplay covering the tutorial and the first region[/p]
• [p]2 playable races: Humans and Orcs, each with their own needs and culture[/p]
• [p]Over 20 unique buildings to construct and manage[/p]
• [p]Core mechanics including wagon-based expansion, economy management, logistics planning, and citizen autonomy[/p]
• [p]Big Map to explore[/p]
• [p]Research tree[/p]
• [p]Atmospheric steampunk fantasy world presented in detailed pixel art[/p]

[p]You will expand wagon by wagon, balance income and expenses, and design layouts that keep your citizens productive and satisfied.
