Train Valley 2 News

Hello! Choo-Choo Weekly is here. Last week we finally summed up all the results of last year. On Saturday at our regular Let's play together challenge we have set a new record for the number of participants ‒ 136 people! Many long levels have appeared in our workshop ‒ some of them are really long. Well, let's see which ones get the "featured" mark.

One of @PureSativa's most interesting classic levels from last week. Crumpled landscape with barely visible paths, many bridges and tunnels. We love that.

New work by @thomas in the style of abstract art with an interesting puzzle. Be careful with one-way and other stations. Remember, there are more route options than you might think at first.

A colorful map by @Gelledee. 4 zones, 4 hyperloops. Fast and not too difficult level.

Have you missed the slow 2-car trains? @LittleBear invites you to the far wild west. You need livestock, wheat, and gold, of course. And you have a lot of colored trains! Great job @LittleBear! A €10 Steam gift card is yours.

That’s all for today! As always, we are waiting for you at our extra Let’s play together challenge today. See you soon!

Hello friends! Every Friday 17:30 GMT starts “Let’s play together” challenge. We pick up a level and during 24 hours everyone is trying to get the best time on it. You just need to register once on our Discord server and keep Discord running while playing the level of the week, and your results will be automatically published in Discord #lets-play-together channel. You need to get 5 stars for beating the level.

Glittering prizes:
1) 3 winners get collectable cards - one random card per person. If you collect 18 locomotive cards, you can collect 6 new cards, and then 2 more special ones. When you collect all 26 cards, you will receive a special prize.
2) Any participant can win a card. Number or cards will depend on the number of participants: one card for every 10 participants. The more players, the more prizes! Your chances of winning remain high.

You can get more details on our Discord server (#lets-play-together channel).

Hello! As promised, we are in a hurry to sum up the incredible 2020. For many people this year was difficult, but we will say frankly ‒ our workshop, our contests in 2020 have only become better. People stayed at home and spent their free time in the level editor and our Let's play together challenges. By the request of the players, we made an additional LPT challenge in the middle of the week as a temporary feature for the period of self-isolation, but you know what? We don't even think about canceling it, because people continue to participate! About 75% of Friday's LPT players come to play extra LPT on Tuesday.

Over the past year, we have added many new objects and mechanics to the game. We have a unique situation: some mechanics are available only on custom maps in the workshop, they are not in the main campaign and DLC. Our players and level creators give us a lot of valuable tips and ideas, many of which we bring to life. We love and value our community very much.

And we are happy to finally announce one of our longtime authors as the winner. @alphrost makes incredibly beautiful levels. He is very attentive to every detail: with decorative objects, he creates a realistic but more colorful world. A perfectly smooth fence around the livestock pen will rotate slightly just where the gate should be. Carefully adjusted balance, thoughtful routes and, of course, great gameplay. We are glad to see your every new work, @alphrost! And we are happy to give you a €50 Steam gift card. Congratulations!

Friends, we are always waiting for your levels and we are glad to see you at our LPT challenges. Stay tuned!

Hello friends! The first half of January is over, and we are finally ready to tell you about the best level of December. It's never too late for good news! In December, we were waiting for a miracle and a festive mood as never before. And our workshop really became the source of the Christmas and New Year spirit. We have chosen a map that combines high-quality level design, beautiful art design and a very festive spirit.

22 minutes, interesting landscape and an increasing pace of the game. Time will fly by and you will probably want to push the replay button to improve your result a little. Maestro @striker700 knows how to captivate the player! No wonder his level became the best last year.

Who will win this year? You will find out very soon! In the meantime, we are happy to give @striker700 a €30 Steam gift card. Congratulations!

Hello friends! Due to the fact that many people are now forced to be at home in quarantine, we decided to add another one Let's Play Together in the middle of the week. This is an experimental competition. There can be different crazy levels. There will be no prizes. Perhaps this will last only for the period of forced isolation of people, but if everyone likes this LPT format, then we will extend this competition.

The rules are the same: log in to our Discord server, keep it running, play a competitive level and complete it with 5 stars. Have fun!
You can get more details on our Discord server (#lets-play-together channel).
