Hello conductors, Unleash your inner photographer in our brand new Photo Mode - out today! [previewyoutube=N4nAgxG_tpg;full][/previewyoutube] [h2]Photo Mode[/h2] Hold on tight as this new update brings photo mode to the breathtaking world of Station to Station. As you adventure through the rolling hills of Greendale or travel to the untamed wilderness of the Wild West, you’ll be able to access photo mode at any moment. There are a variety of options to help you capture the perfect shot as well. Zoom, focus distance, and blur strength can add depth to your photos, while options like stopping the trains or hiding the interface help you line up the perfect shot. Photo Mode also comes with the option to follow a specific train on its journey, as well as a ride-along option to give you the full experience.

These bite-sized levels aren’t required to progress through the campaign but add fun additional challenges to the game.

We’ve also revamp Custom Mode to add even more options to let you transform the game and personalise your custom levels. Custom Mode now has four main categories to experiment with: [list] [*][b]LEVEL options[/b] let you customise the shape, size, and height to increase or reduce the difficulty of your map. [*][b]INDUSTRY types[/b] let you select what industry you’d like to appear, and how closely they’ll be grouped together. [*][b]The GRAPHICS[/b] can also be changed letting you choose the biome, weather, and number of animals you want in your custom world. [*]The final section, [b]RAILROADS[/b], affects the cost of your railroads, how much they are allowed to curve, and their maximum slope. [/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44115269/1cb4331c7fc393eebaa2b546260bac102ef6dec0.png[/img] This is our last update of 2023 and we hope you’ll enjoy these new additions to Station to Station! The fun doesn’t stop there though as we will be back in 2024 with even more updates for the game.
