In the meantime, you can try the demo which comes with one multi-trainyard 4km� map and one fictional diesel-electric shunter locomotive. Many upcoming additions are planned to significantly differentiate the release version from the free demo, such as procedural shunting missions, NPC traffic and more car variety! These and more updates will be regularly showcased as they come, so stay tuned for more news as we get closer to the release! Please see Early Access information for more details.

Our goal with Derail Valley is to bring something new to train sim and VR games simultaneously. The world of rail transport is imperfect and in Derail Valley we want to let players experience that imperfection - be it through old rusty tracks, worn-out rolling stock set in beautiful nature, or a bunch of paperwork on your desk. Train wheels in Derail Valley will squeal differently depending on the force they endure, and passing every track joint will cause the cabin to shake. They are individual bits and pieces, set in specific positions, that each react to some stress or force. Sound effects are not just recordings that play in the background. We want them to feel as realistic as possible, and as such the whole game revolves around that concept. They are unpredictable, massive, and sometimes oddly spectacular.

We want players to really feel the track and be able to adjust their driving according to that feeling.ĭerailments are serious. They are pieces of metal that are imperfect, sometimes buckled by temperature changes, jointed together with wood and rolled over by other pieces of metal. Rails aren't just perfect mathematical lines. The game is aimed to be fun and challenging to both hardcore train veterans and players new to the genre and VR in general. You will plan your route, switch junctions and move cars between trainyards, all while racing through corners on the edge of derailment. Getting a train to move in Derail Valley is simple, but to accomplish complex maneuvers on time requires a lot of skill. It is designed right from the start for VR in terms of optimizations, controls and UI. You can drive a train with your own hands! Derail Valley lets you move freely in the cab, being embraced by nature and then derailing off a cliff. While still early in development by a three-people team, Derail Valley already brings some key advancements to the train simulation genre: The thought of running off the rails will run through your mind, and in all likeliness that's exactly what will happen. Tasked to reposition cars on a tight schedule, you might find yourself grabbing the controls in panic. Plan your route and reposition rolling stock on time - unless, of course, you derail off a cliff!Derail Valley is a train simulation made for VR.
