Train Yard Builder

Another reviewer had similar points as I am about to make, but I feel like echoing them will help others looking into this game understand that they are problems and not just a one person skill issue situation. The tutorial jobs are extremely narrow and the game doesn't just hold your hand, it death grips it. Metaphorically: You are given a paint by numbers and given your paint colors and told to do it. Here are 3 paint by numbers that are the mechanics of the game. That is the tutorial. Once the tutorial is over, the game gives you access to a art store and tells you to go for it, also here are the jobs you need to do: One of them is paper mache, and this one is making jewelry, and this one is making pottery. The actual gameplay of making dioramas, either for yourself or for an exhibition, is incredibly frustrating and unintuitive. Honestly, it's simply overwhelming once you are given the wheel. You want to do XYZ but you don't know how to do any of the letters that come before, and figuring it out is... just not fun. Which is what I am playing a game for; To have fun. I noticed at the time of writing this I only have 1.1 hours which is wild to me. When I was playing, it felt like I had been playing for 5 hours trying to figure stuff out and do what I wanted to do... I was mentally exhausted. That's supposed to be the other way around. It's truly a shame because this is such a cool concept. I would love to not spend thousands on miniatures and take up an entire room to get to build train dioramas. I don't know if the devs didn't have people play test this game on their own without someone leaning over their shoulder or what. TL;DR: At this point, this game does not have an adequate tutorial to actually help you learn how to play and develop a command of the mechanics. It seems more confusing than fun.

For some reason progress isn't saved by the game and you keep ending at the beginning of the tutorial. Building a diorama isn't as enjoyable as I imagined. I would descride it as really frustrating. Not worth any price here.

The game is too buggy to play. I even have to Ctrl+Alt Del to close it. This makes me sad. I'm asking for a refund now. Booooooo ! :( EDIT: Couldn't get a refund because it was part of a bundle. The other game now costs way too much.

Absolute madness with no way to disable tutorial,WHICH is the ONLY way you can play any game, even a saved one. Says it saved progress EVERY time I asked it too (AND in settings had auto save checked). but it NEVER did. Got tired of the madness of saving (losing) and wasting time to be left with none of the work put it when you go to play the next time.

4/10 it works mostly and does what it says it does not my kind of game and i would never pay for it, got it in a bundle + works on windows 7 - missing very basic features like raising and lowering terrain - when using multiple trains on the same track they will stop randomly and if it stops long enough for the train behind it to make contact they both get stuck forever until you reset them - the amount of space you have to work with is very limited. only 3 by 3 chunks of table and each table chuck is about 14 15ish train carts in length if you want to build a set around you that you can walk in its very limited in size. no over floor table to table drawbridge - swamping back and fourth between shopping and putting stuff down.... the system in place for putting items down and buying works fine when you have like 30 items, but falls apart when you have 100+ would much rather the tack building system be like what roller coaster tycoon has + workshop

I thought this game would be a bit like Rolling Line but it is not and Rolling Line is far far better than this. A bit disappointed but not surprised that I didnt like this I prefer Rolling Line.

Well it looks kinda promising... But forcing a tutorial on the player to unlock sandbox mode is the worst thing you could possibly do for this type of game. If i hadn't bought it awhile ago i would've instantly stopped playing and got a refund.

もへへ。悪くにゃいかな？ 自作のジオラマを手軽に作れるこのゲーム。それなりに楽しめそうだねぇ。 悪くにゃいけどもっと良くなる点？ ぼくちん日本男児。日本の機関車や瓦の家があるとぉ、もっといいかにゃ。 出しても良いんだよ？DLCで。
