New Train Simulator In the making!!

F

funforme3

Modeler at Pacific Trainz
I am hapy to anounce the creation of World On Rails Train Simulator. My Team and I have been working hard to get this game out next year. You may think that we are crazy but so far we are able to test drive the game :cool: (no videos yet). We are using the UDK (Unreal Development Kit), SpeedTree, and Autodesk programs.

More info comming later.
 
Hi funforme And Everybody.
Please let the forum know when the simulator can be downloaded and ran. However, for the time being I will put it in my " remember list " along with open rails and others that may happen in the future.

For now, all the best with your development as undoubtedly it is a huge task you have entered into.

If using the Unreal development kit then nothing, can only use it with the Unreal UDK though before anyone gets excited.

But since his train simulator is being built on UDK, that's ok...

On the other hand, my experience with UDK is that it is absolutely terrible at handling the kind of large seamless outdoor environments that a train simulator is utterly dependant on.
 
I already have speedtree it comes with the UDK program and This is not just going to be worked on UDK but in some Microsoft C++ programs for scripting and other things. (I think MSTS was a C+ program but not sure:confused: ) Also we have already have production of the first route in progress. The game has acctually been looked at by Ubisoft!!!:D I got an email already and I want to hopefully add this to one of the Ubisoft Simulation List.

The game is no easy task, also it will be a full Train Simulator with acctual damage affects and crashes. We have so far have the following Train Sets in the creation wharehouse:

SD70ACe
ES44's
SD40-2
SD60M
Modern Amtrak Stuff (Acela, HHP-8, etc.)
Empire Builder Set
Coaster Set (F40PH-2C, Bi-level Cars, F59PHI)
Surfliner Set (full Surfliner set by me)

Pictures of what has been made can be found here: http://worldonrails.webs.com/apps/photos/

Price of the World On Rails Game:
$35.00

(To pay for the UDK Commercial License (which is $99, then when the game gets over $60,000 then you have to pay them $2,500 and then the Speedtree co. which is $7,495 (online-only distribution) Then I also have to pay the people who helped the game like my Content Creators, Scripters and stuff. :( )

Im also posting on here the Jobs if someone wants to join the crew.(Testers don't get payed)

Hi again ffm3,

I wish you success in your new business venture.

Some things you may need to look at:

Your profile indicates that you may be a minor.

Connecticut law shows that a minor can own a business, but parents/guardians must sign legal documents (contracts and registration forms).

See this link for information:

http://www.ct-clic.com/FAQ/faqView.asp?categoryID=17&faqID=96

Also, Paypal has regulations regarding minors.

This appears to be only legal as a student account.

Read this link:

Hope this helps and good luck with your project.

Regards,
 
Just a comment the main barrier to entry for a new sim is probably content. Trainz has a very wide range of content available but even then it took 18 months before TS2009/10 content really started to show up after the release of TS2009.

Microsoft gave up. TS2010 has been sold for as little as $10 a copy, a reasonable estimate of income for budgeting would be around $7 per copy if if you list at $30.

Looking at N3V I'd say you need three or four full time programmers min to stay in the game and they don't normally want to work for minimum wages.

Cheerio John
 
Something I am quite suspcious of about this anoucement, first of all, its all content and very small content, not anything to be teased about and seems to be annouced pretty prematurely.
Secondly, 14, I know kids at 14 can program, but really, Unreal SDK is a bit of a big job! I've not used unreal SDK, but if it is as bad as Source (OMG! I hate the Source SDK! Its soo stupidly complicated to do anything.) then forget it.
Thirdly, to hijack the thread, I have thought about as a side project, of producing my own rail sim in Unity, since I already am working on a game in unity which is well, too artist friendly really. However, I would need a team of dedicated indivudals with "experience in scripting and asset creation". Preferbly Javascript and C#/C++. Anyone on the forum able to give me an indication of interest?

That means, if I do investigate the possiblity, it has to be some serious offers. Oh and I would like some reasonable contact.
 
I thought that we already had the perfect train simulator: the one that we discuss on these forums, which these forums are named after! :p :hehe: ;)

Regards.
 
I am sure that the fact your advertising an item your in breach of the Code of Conduct for these fourms.

Only way to find out is to see if a mod or N3V closes the thread

I acctually have the paperwork for that. Also I do have another forum. The link to my trainz forum: http://www.forumeasy.com/forums/?sid=trainz
The link to the World On Rails forum: http://worldonrails.webs.com/apps/forums/

Also..... You guys have no Idea what im able to do. I have a gliders licence and going for my Private Pilots Licence at 16, also I have one 1st place in the CT hackers program, were you have to program, a program to hack a computer with a firewall and I forgot..... I think it is 2 Firewalls, a PC Sucerity program and one other and well my team all ways gets past the firewalls but not the security system:confused: . Cant find its weak spot. Well anyway the game will not be hacked and have all typed of trojens and stuff in it, it will be clean, because I know that, that will be another question. SO DONT ASK ME AGAIN

If your program contains as many spelling errors as your post, I have doubts about it ever working. Your last post does not impress, for a sixteen year old, it was terrible.

lol my error equation "Typing Fast = Bad Spelling" :hehe:
anyway if you think I cant do it here is the base line of the game script well part of it:
