Level of the Month - August 2019

Hello! Autumn has come and it’s time for us to summarize the results of August. It was not easy to choose, and we are pleased to present the cover of the new Train Valley Time issue.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1841788958 @tehrealyoyo came to the workshop just a month ago and enriched it a great deal during that time. The works of this author are very mature: thoughtful gameplay is combined with the artistically designed landscape. We enjoyed playing maps of @tehrealyoyo very much and believe that Greenland is the strongest work in August. We are happy to give you a €30 Steam gift card and waiting for new ones!

Friends, do not forget to open the level editor. Try to make a map with a toll station - this is a very powerful mechanic that greatly changes the gameplay. We are waiting for you on the cover of Train Valley Time!

Weekly Winner - August 26

Hello! Choo-Choo Weekly and three wonderful levels, that our workshop was replenished with last week, are here. They are absolutely wonderful and we want to tell you about them as soon as possible. Go!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1844139179 The first map of @robocat is made in the best traditions of recent debut works: high-quality, well-thought-out gameplay. We have two shores that are connected by a destroyed bridge. You probably already know what to do! We advise you to prepare more coal and send it to the other shore early. Good work, @robocat, the level goes to Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1841044210 Last week's winner @scott.jackson again pleases us with a map. This is an unusual map with very fast (and really explosive!) trains, and even with a ban on the use of pause! It’s breathtaking. We advise you to carefully look at it before turning off the pause (of course, if you have chosen to “start level paused” in the menu) because it does not immediately become clear how exactly the factories can be connected with each other and with the second city. This is a very beautiful level, we want to play it again and again. Definitely Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1841788958 @tehrealyoyo sends us to Greenland to build logistics for a research base. Try to guess from the first try, at what angle to build a bridge across the lake. This is a very thoughtful map with good logistics and elaborate gameplay. The undisputed favorite of the week! We are happy to give @tehrealyoyo a Steam gift card for €10.

August is ending, which means that the fresh issue of Train Valley Time will be waiting for you soon. Friends, since September we have changed the broadcast format a bit and will be publishing on Steam one big digest with the results of the month, where we will select the winner and list all the selected maps. The results of the week we will post on the forum. Choo-Choo Weekly moves to our Discord server to the channel #level-design-contest. There you can follow the winners every week, as well as participate in the Let’s play together weekly competitions and just chat. Waiting for you!
