Town

(Update 25 July 2017: Fixed the weird flickering train glitch.)

Create your own little railway network and then hang out on your little trains in your little town. You can place stations, lock the camera on different trains, switch to a first-person view, look around. 

Use the arrow keys to place the next tile in the current position. If you build yourself into a corner, use backspace to delete tiles and try again. The track is complete once you connect your track back to the original station.

I spent way too long on this but I learned a whole lot! Mostly in the realm of modelling. I made my own simple buildings in Blender for this project, and I'm really happy with them! I used the tool Sprytile to do that. 

I originally had plans for split tracks which you could cross between and hills and some other stuff but it all got way too complicated, and I kind of really like the simplicity of this one. There's still one or two small glitches buttttttt I don't really care anymore. Depending on how fast the game is running, carriages are going to be further away from their train. If you see a train flying off towards the horizon, then you win the game.

(In 2017 I am challenging myself to make 50 little videogames to get more familiar with the tools. I make no guarantee that any of the games are good, but that's not really the point. This is game #21 of 50.)
