This time we have been able to persuade Christof, one of the level designers of Railroad Pioneer, to tell us a few words about himself and his job. (Some of you might already know Christof as Ornestin from the forum).

Those who want to learn more about Christof and level design in general can take a look at Team inside.
In Production Christof will offer us a glimpse of level design in Railroad Pioneer in particular.


Research & Upgrades
[2003-08-15]

In Railroad Pioneer, trains will be more than just exchangeable units that come and go as the years go by. It's up to the player to decide what to do with their various trains and to which degree to research and modify individual locomotives and whole locomotive series over time.

However, the vehicle pool is not the only thing to be developed according to individual wishes. The continuous improvement of working quarters and infrastructure allows for a high level of variety in strategies and gameplay in the missions.

Today, we'll introduce the extensive research and upgrades system in Railroad Pioneer.

RAILROAD PIONEER - Exploring and Track Constructions
[2003-05-09]

Unbelievable from today's perspective, the construction of the transatlantic railway was a real pioneering feat at the time.

The first kilometres of track through the already "well" developed eastern states, like New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, etc., were mere child's play compared to the deserts and massifs which were awaiting the pioneers later on.

The very little information available at the time about important places like towns and economic centres was hardly sufficient for planning routes which made any sense and, above all, were in any way "safe". This predicament frequently required the dispatch of advance parties made up of cartographers, pioneers and specialists who knew their way around. These parties had to break new ground time and again to show the following tracklayers the way.

This is the challenge you will be faced with in Railroad Pioneer: As a real pioneer, you will have to send your crew to survey the land before you can make a decision as to how to invest your hard-earned dollars into further kilometres of track.

[2003-04-23]

New York - 1830: Starting out for a new world full of adventure, economic opportunities, power and money. Bold pioneers set out to conquer the New World with their iron horses.

With the creation of the transatlantic railway, built with blood, sweat and tears into the murderous wilderness in 1869, the American dream of freedom and prosperity was finally to be fulfilled.
With "Railroad Pioneer" you'll be able to experience all this at close quarters and, at the end of a dramatic journey, leave your mark as a railway magnate in the eventful history of steamers and pioneers.

Until then, let us take you on a tour through time and across the United States.
We'll frequently present you with new bits and pieces of this fascinating business simulation, its development, the people behind the scenes and, of course, all that it takes to become a true "railroad pioneer".
