This is the first of many development videos where we can show you behind the scenes updates as we create our game. Today's Dev Vlog is all about the haunting voice of the iron horse: whistles! Listen to our patent-pending tech and how it can simulate over 60 unique whistles with unparalleled realism and tone. We hope you are as thrilled with the quill as we are, and we look forward to having you along for the ride on our development journey!

"Patent-pending sound software" that's when you know that the devs are some of the best is when they patent something entirely new in the process of making a game.

Actually a lot of software companies are careful about saying they have a patent. Gives competitors the oppotunity to reverse engineer your tech. Albeit, this is damn cool whistle tech.

I fully expected Mark to go “What’s up guys, this is Hyce” at the beginning but using his real name threw a curveball at me. 😂 Also the fact you put a Powell 3 chime in is just awesome. It’s one of my favorite whistles up there with the N&W Hooter. I can tell I’ll be using either whistle interchangeably when I get my hands on the game. That Powell is such a part of my childhood, watching the Thunder on the Rails VHS tape at my grandparents house.

@@YoLo-bb2vc the Powell 3 Chime did it for me… Nevada Northern #40 aka “the Ghost Train”, because during WWII the copper mining company had decided to scrap her since she was a 1910 10 wheeler… but the railroad crews loved her too much, so at night when they found out a scrapper search crew was going to check an area in the morning, they would fire her up and with all lights off and the firebox covered with planks to hide even the light from that would run her to a new location and camouflage her with anything not nailed down to hide her-causing the locals of Ely, McGill, Ruth, and Keystone, NV to say the railroad was “haunted by a ghost train” when they heard that whistle at crossings in the night but it was dark and no lights were visible, since the crews didn’t want to risk local lives as they moved her… needless to say, the locals of course recognized the whistle after 30 years of hearing it and were all in on it, but to the corporate goons who didn’t live there, it made them scratch their heads and spooked them in the night a few times. They did this over three years until the war ended and Kennecott Copper Corporation gave up the search. It’s the only thing that saved her and why we still have her today.

@thegamesweplayvm4265 11 месяцев назад

My question is, are diesel horns simulated the same way? As someone who worked on a shortline for a few months, the air horns on the old diesels (like the White Pass ALCOs in your trailer) have almost as much character as a steam whistle.

@ironeh 10 месяцев назад

I had this very same thought and would love to know the answer as well. I would kill to hear a BC Rail K5H/K5L properly simulated. No horn sounds better in my mind.

Congratulations on such a wonderful invention. Recorded whistle looping had gotten good, but naturally always required a good clean recording, this is software engineering and railway engineering coming together at its finest, and what a commendation you deserve. The attention to detail from my perspective a historian is also most tantalising for your game. It is my hope your lineup of whistles will include a Baldwin 3 chime flat top for “as delivered” and South American sounds, and most of all a sweet sounding IRCA 3 chime, how the late Jorge Diaz could make 205 and 204 sing coming out a rock cut, and 40 sounds quite melodious at the Loop.

One small thing that would make this game more unique would be speed of sound simulation. As seen on the far away shot you hear the whistle instantly along with the effect but having the sound and reverb delayed more or less depending on the distance between the player and the whistle would be quite neat. Other than that I am quite hyped to see and play the first release. Also good luck at the narrow gauge convention thing, I won‘t make it sadly.

This is probably the most excited. I have been about a train game since my dad and I picked up Trainz 2004 at circuit city. The level is just like… I don’t want to name names, but it’s like you look at the current landscape, and take all of your grievances of “why can’t they just do this?“ and you’re building an entire game that is entirely all of that stuff.

The focus is on the details. 3) Looks like I was right when I asserted S346 wouldn’t accept anything less than their best 4) I think it’s unfathomably cool that your grandpa developed one of the first audio systems for model trains, and now here you are, however many years later, spearheading a patent-pending system for virtual model trains. 5) Whistle designer please (I want to try and be as cool as you)

It feels so good to see a group of people who KNOW railroading, and who care about it- who care about the little things, the details, the realism, making a game for not only railfans like myself, but for everyone young and old to enjoy! A game that brings the true experience of railroading to the virtual world. I feel like a game of this quality is (sadly) long overdue and that the Train Simulator industry has been cornered and misrepresented by the money-minded folks at (*cough* *cough*) Dovetail Games.
