Any ideas on what that dangerous looking fire breathing not very amused by railway tracks creature is? :)

All aboard, destination: 2022! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Flazm Interactive team.

There is keeping track of all your locomotives (see what I did here?), then there's microcontrolling everything possible simultaneously, and then there is Some Trickery — LPT veteranship, known tricks usage are mandatory, getting 5 stars form the get-go isn't :) DNSAT.

Santa Visits Safariland to take their mind of all things festive and had a great time. Many biomes, more animals, story-rich gameplay, funds to accrue and bridges to construct, time objectives to meet and truly trademark terrain configuration to explore.

DNUP vanilla-styled train valley, offerings to the spirits to increase crop yields, possible terraforming complications as well as almost no time to dawdle :) Be careful and do not anger the spirit.

Don't let a bit simpler layout style make you relax, for both valleys are a challenge. Multibranch supply chains and intertwined junctions make petronille_marie's latest Workshop submissions shine, especially in the case of Xmas Again with additional DNSAT and DNDATT.

Be it the archipelago valley or a certain dualist medieval religious organization themed level, the gameplay will be both relatively relaxing and keep us interested, give us some slack and make us look at the secondary objectives panel time after time, and certainly will be enjoyable in both getting all the stars and restarting :)

24 Customs Stations, Christmas at our collective doorstep, extra busy and extra inefficient officers taking all the time there is to process the goods and documentation, unfazed even by terraforming events happening left and right. A true nightmare for any locomotive operator with a trainload of delivery orders running late, CUSTOMSized Christmas Calendar is here to overthrow Best From The Workshop tab previous occupants :)

Try not to crash and get the deliveries right
And you'll earn five stars on this dark Christmas night.

Continuing the Christmas Nightmare levels trend, BenGotham brings us another — loaded with buildings, quests and semi-independent supply chains. Prepare a spare mouse/controller and some snacks, and make sure to check the comments for some rhymes as well as gameplay hints.

It is from Safariland straight to a country of Round for Santa this year, where locals save up all year long to spend every dime during Christmas and get presents, Christmas trees, decorate their homes and then travel around their country by rail to see all the decorations and enjoy the holidays. Use the hyperloops, control your funds flow and celebrate together with Round.

Aesthetically attractive winter train valley that has it all: DNSAT, penguins, time limit that requires investing into and controlling every industry almost simultaneously, a candy factory that requires inexplicable amount of natural rubber, intricate junctions waiting to be designed, built and redesigned again, a range of shortcuts and Christmas spirit built in — a great idea and a very enjoyable playthrough or five :)

We congratulate @LittleBear as Train Valley 2 Level Design Contest Christmas Festive Season 2021 newest champion! A €10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Don't forget to tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

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

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

This week's level is

Elevated Christmas themed levels relevance provides us with seemingly unending supply of snowy train valleys with booming Christmas tree and chocolate presents industries with sporadic penguin incursions and every festive paraphernalia sprinkled on top. No extra difficulty modifiers like DNSAT, just a lot of urgent deliveries across complex landscapes to help out Santa where a track laying puzzle transforms - with time - into a compact railroad tycoon game, where a player has to oversee every move yet can have a nice cup of tea while doing so.

A map to relax. No tricks, easy goals, and a little terraforming triggered with timber deliveries. 25 minutes, a sneaky One Way Station, almost familiar island in the middle of a body of water layout and quite some bridge construction projects ahead.

A DNSAT mission to save the world from an unknown virus starts with a couple of engines and several well-hidden terraforming events. A busy suburban area packed with industries, a quarantined city, unavailable demolishing team and 19 minutes to expand, build, complete, succeed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2680616444

A complete change of direction from a chill evenly paced gameplay commenced by the previous DNSAT nominee, The Warehouse Strategy has an uncommon build and accrue now - deliver and distribute later dynamic set up by several terraforming events that open up an access point to the city way later in the game - at 7.00, 14.00 and 21.00 minutes. Only the last event enables the bridge and allows to reach the delivery sites. Demolition team still on vacation, 23 minutes time limit, busy megapolis streets to navigate and an ATT objective - replayability is assured with both original design and difficulty levels :)
