Building rail in the real world | NIMBY Rails gameplay
1,443NIMBY Rails is a rail network game with a difference. Instead of running trains on fictional or abstracted maps you're on the real thing. NIMBY Rails gameplay right here! Ever wanted to bulldoze your school? Ex's house? The rollerama across the street that keeps you up all hours of the day? Do it. Replace it with a glorious profitable railroad in the this marvelous tycoon game that launches on January 26 on Steam.
Here's the blurb!
NIMBY Rails is a management sandbox for railways you build in the real world. Design train tracks, set up lines, and get that stock rolling to make money and serve the needs of the population. Do you have strong opinions on rail projects and want to test your own ideas? This game was made for you.
The world is your canvas. Design and play on a fully detailed real world map with 1cm resolution. A rail link from Lisbon to Shanghai? Anchorage to Buenos Aires? Cape Town to Rabat? Why not!
Your tracks will need to respect real, existing roads and streets. Too many crossings may make your designs not viable.
Streamlined circulation mechanics so you don't get bogged down by the details. Build and run a large network easily.
Trams, subways, commuter, regional and high speed trains. Tunnels, viaducts and ground tracks with a variety trade offs on the environment, train speed, and your company wallet.
Simulated train and station demand, down to simulating individual passengers. Passengers can, and will, engage in train trips that make them board multiple trains, waiting in transfer stations.
Demand flow based on time of day and time of week, with time zone support. Find it boring when night time comes and the stations are deserted? No problem, start a new line ten time zones away.
Passengers will continuously rate their experience based on the trip time and the fares you impose on them, with effects on the demand of the stations they visit.
Single player and offline first.
Optional cooperative multiplayer: build together in real time with friends and others you invite to your hosted server session.

Once in a while I post something of value in here.
No, that isn't true except for in the super-secret secret message section right at the very end of the description. To get to that point you'll have to scroll past a big lump of links and nonsense all of which will enrich your life... if you let them.
