The Great Train Graveyard in Uyuni, Bolivia is a unique tourist attraction in addition to the famous salt flats and red lakes. The area is home to a collection of abandoned, vintage trains that were originally intended to expand the transportation network in the early 19th century. However, due to technical challenges and conflicts with local indigenous communities, the project was never completed. The trains were later used to transport minerals to port cities, but when the mineral resources depleted in the 1940s, the miners left and the trains were left to deteriorate in the desert. Over time, exposure to salty winds has caused the trains to corrode, creating the fascinating landscape of the Great Train Graveyard that exists today.

i have a very odd request: can jesus hold a steam train and the lesbian flag at the same time? it’s an inside joke and i need to show it to someone-

Today, Jesus is holding:

A steam train and a lesbian flag

Finally ready to start showing off the project we've been working on for a few weeks.

TRAIN PUZZLE (dot exe) (title pending)

me and @msasterisk are working on a switching puzzle game set on slimegirl astronaut Eaurp Guz's homeworld. You operate an Advanced Steam switcher to move cars around. The prototype implements a single level, a model railroad Inglenook layout, but there will be other original levels as well.

MsAsterisk has done all of the programming and game engine work, I've done the game design and art assets.

more screenshots and development photos below the cut:

Until the last couple of days, the game has used plain colored boxes for its cars. The first playable version, shown here, was just a pixel art train toy, with no actual game mechanics, but with an external list randomizer you could still run the inglenook game.

The physics was apparently a monumental undertaking to get working, but now it works great!

i don't remember what this was about. Truncated the vertices to the unit cube or something.

@thefallencomet's playtesting of the first prototype revealed a severe bug with couplers where switching cars coupled at a distance between three tracks at once would completely break physics. MsAsterisk fixed it by simply breaking couplers when they're too far apart.

car concept art

u.i. concept art. The tracks are bonafide pixel art here, but they've since been replaced with all 3D assets. The loco here is a pixelated render done in blender of the advanced steam tank engine model that i made about a month ago.

control stand model, WIP. We're not sure if we're going to go for this kind of detailed control stand. Why does a steam engine use a control stand that would look more at home on an EMD diesel? It's the magic of Advanced Steam Technology! The actual engine is controlled with actuators and microcontrollers, they're merely operated from the safety of the control cabin. The gauges are for brake cylinder, boiler pressure, steam chest, and speedometer--but no promises about whether these will be functional.

and finally, portraits of the engine crew

More to come as the game continues development.

@lolthandfound made the meme and I felt absolutely compelled to draw it 😂 Anyways, everyone say hello to my latest hyperfixation: the Starlight Express. I love these silly little trains, trucks, and coaches ❤️
