Train Valley 2 News

Hello friends! After long torments of choice and heated debate, we have chosen the best workshop level of 2019. Honestly, having watched all the best works again, we were shocked by how many talented authors we have. Your levels are often very different from what you can see in the game because you look at the game from a different angle. And our winner is a big master of using decorative objects in an unusual way. So ladies and gentlemen, please meet the triumphant of 2019 ‒ @striker700!

This map was the best in March 2019. It combines great gameplay and excellent visual style. Playing a new @striker700 map you always find yourself setting the game on pause and zooming in to find every small sketch hidden in the background. Of course, even more fun you get playing these surprising levels. Thanks for your impressive creativity, @striker700! We are happy to send you 50€ Steam gift card. And we are always waiting for your new levels to appear in the workshop!
Thanks to all of you, friends for making levels, playing levels and participating in "Let's play together" challenges every week!
Stay tuned! Choo-choo!

Hello everyone! We are pleased to meet you in the new 2020. As you know, in December we combined our traditional level design contest with a special Xmas contest. This time we selected three winners. Let's see!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1933969519 Level about Happy Town, which is located on a high hill. Variability and budget deficit in the beginning, and in the end you just need to try not to crush these high-speed trains. Good job, @Nimu! We give you €10 Steam gift card.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1951673920 Absolutely crazy map with steep terrain from @striker700. A lot of tunnels, bridges, customs, hyperloop, and these explosive fireworks ‒ it is a real holiday! All these serpentines and interchanges will definitely make your head spin. Great level, @striker700, €20 Steam gift card is yours.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1938940719 And here is our unanimous favorite. Very professional level: complex interchanges with many hyperloops, alternative paths and many solutions to this puzzle. We want to play this level many times, and this is what @stev1eb, our absolute champion of Let's play together challenge, is used to be doing. Thank you for such an interesting map, it will decorate our Featured. We are pleased to hand you €30 Steam gift card.

December was great! It remains to choose the level of the year. We have already begun to look at the best maps of 2019 and you know, all of them are just amazing. Well, the choice will be made. 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.

Glittering prizes:

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.

Hello dear friends! Our sweet Train Valley family! This amazing year was full of pleasant events and occasions!
First of all, we have finally released the full version of the game in April. Do you remember your first TV2 rocket launched? Amazing moment!
After this year, we had a great summer marathon developing and releasing Passenger Flow DLC in October! 20 more levels, new (or good old) mechanics and a lot of stuff for Workshop! What a time!

But the real gold is our lovely, creative community! Just imagine right now we have 729 levels in the Workshop. 209 of them are featured! 64 of them are using new passenger flow mechanics! You are doing an amazing job, friends! All of you: @alphrost, @h2onik, @striker700, @reg, @Gaztibelza, @unclekrusty, @Nimu, @sarahfmorgan, @gemanera, and many many others! We are proud to have you among our honored authors!
But there is one creator reached a 100 maps record! We are talking about you, @Mr Dudley. I don't know how you find time for that, but you are our hero!
We are truly proud of Train Valley 2 Workshop and it's only because of your amazing work guys!

To support your creativity we sent 93 Stem gift cards and keep doing it every week and month. We keep making weekly newspapers "Choo-choo weekly" and monthly covers "Train Valley Time" in your honor! I hope you are reading them!


This year we have started and keep arranging let's play together contests. We did it 45 weeks in a row already. And we have an amazing champion here as well. It is @stev1eb who collected the first 18 cards of the original set and now all 26 cards of the expanded set of cards. He was a champion in 12 of Let's play together contests! And get an exclusive knitted locomotive from our team! Congratulations!
But there are a lot of other cool guys and girls gathering every Friday on our Discord server: @Yokuyin (your guide is amazing), @Gamma Is Evil, @Unicast, @Nomiswelt, @Zebrakatten, @LiveConnector and many others! Thanks for keeping contests that friendly warm and challenging!

And of cause great thanks to our team. Thanks to Olga aka @glyinderwust for her hard and dedicated work as a community manager and her superior Workshop maps! Have you read her newsletter? It's worth your time! Our level designer Anton, 3d modeler Timofey and programmer Sergey did an amazing job! Special thanks to Alexander Ahura for the new DLC soundtrack! It's an honor to work with you guys!
