For the new campaign, you can also build rails with an upgrade locomotive, with good armor and its own weapon. The Frontier is smaller utility locomotive with a turreted main gun, and a coaxial HMG.

I have some new units in the works for my expansion Campaign II. These are screenshots right in Blender. One is an enemy unit with a specific response role, and the other a smaller combat locomotive, which ties in with the track building feature.

Recently I've been working out some track height adjustment built up berms for transitioning into bridges from the slopes. For deep drops the bridges appear, and if only a slight drop this berm is built up.

This week I've been working in a method of bridging over uneven terrain for track construction. The construction train marks where the player has left off building a new loop of tracks.

WIP - Some new props for the levels with track construction. These are MOW equipment which you won't run as trains, but will have a function in the gameplay and interaction for building tracks.

Still chipping away at the new GUI for the player adding track to the game map.

Russian mass produced gun that probably won the war, but nobody wants to play with this

riposte from tweet: Richard Bamber @RBamber
"4 @Caltrain #Stadler EMUs await the weekend’s testing. With regular service trains cancelled this weekend, it will be a great opportunity to view them along the entire San Francisco to San Jose corridor."

A few new screenshots from the Steam live build. The game is still in development of some last items to integrate with Steam Achievements.

I started with a wish to run trains along a coastline like this, then created the level. I designed the gameplay challenge so you HAVE TO run trains along this route repeatedly. Please forgive

Once I had a fascination with iso pencil drawings as a process for concept art. I don't know If I would ever go back to drawing like this, it was 2009.

The more history I read with real detail, the more I feel the world absolutely always has been like a Pynchon novel.

A Portable Turret which is dropped next to the tracks by the Carrier Railcar. A point defense unit which can be built and deployed cheaply and rapidly.

The initial single player campaign for SRRD. The "medals" are for completing each level per difficulty setting.

SRRD is a game about running trains, but it's not a train sim. The motivation is much more existential, since you face an enemy trying to blow up your trains and wreck your base. When the time for your anger arrives, you can build this superweapon railroad gun.

Enemies in SRRD are all-terrain wheeled armor. These two are the sort of Boss units, since they are high on health and firepower. The Guard hangs out at the enemy base, while the Tarantula will lurk out on the map to spoil your plans.
