In 2022, at a low point in my life, I left my career of almost 10 years to chase my childhood dream of making indie games. Today the dream creeps closer - Crystal Rail's demo is playable in #SteamNextFest! Give us a look!

What game inspired you as a kid?

I think about this a lot actually, and it might surprise you given the game I'm making, but there was a magic to exploring this world I will never forget~

Awesome, as a fellow train game which does technically have a form of eavesdropping, I feel much camaraderie with this. Our train also lacks ghosts, though I feel like that's lower on our priority list than yours XD Very excited to see your progress!

Did someone say TRAIN GAME?!?

I have this feeling this is more in the Gamecube-Animal Crossing realm of trains in games, but I do at least want to know if we spend time in it haha~

And relatedly, is a ghost on board? :o

I saw people talk about this, but as someone who was just 'accused' yesterday, my impression is that these people aren't really that interested in the reality of whether you used AI or not, but in accusing you in bad faith to farm likes, and I'm not sure the seal would really do much to dissuade...

I'm sure her counterpart really ... gets a kick outta that 🥁🥁📀

How do you capture that late PS1 vibe so perfectly - adore this! And not *only* because of the train xD

Huge lightbulb moment xD

I do actually love this though~

Star Fox Assault was universally praised for one thing - that smart-bomb of a soundtrack, can't believe it's not in already!

Eat your heart out, No Man's Sky hahah - but seriously it looks absolutely... stellar 🥁🥁📀

Came out dang fine though! Whenever we work for an unexpectedly long time and figure something out, I still call it a win, cuz bottom line, we figured it out AND it was hard! Will be watching this! Good work!

Understandable! Long as that juicy art still gets its tentacles ingrained deeply into the rest of the gamee 🦑

Thanks again to @umi2wa.bsky.social @blueajisai.bsky.social and @starmari16.bsky.social - and MrAppelboom www.twitch.tv/mrappelboom for their uproarious and incredible playthroughs!

🔊SOUND ON! 🔊

He played till the bitter end, had a train that weighed over 15000 and a reputation of the maximum 200%, a very impressive go~ And if you take the demo up on your own time, I'm sure you'll get there too ;)

Thank you to those who tried Crystal Rail at #glitchcity #bringyourowngame this weekend! And congrats to Brian, who raked up 10268 capital on his first try, earning a slick 30 steam bucks! Can you beat his score? store.steampowered.com/app/3482820/...

Absolutely sick art - sells the concept great~ Do we ever actually see the players in the game or just the cues? Not saying we have to, it can definitely be a 'your player's visage has been censored so as not to forever scar your mind' situation 😅

Gonna put a whole new spin on 'now that's a bad miss'~ Love moody takes on very normal sports and roguelites too? You spoil me! I'll be on the lookout for you!

Love the style and colors, avoids the trappings of generic fantasy world - looks like a few artillery, maybe a laser rifle for linear-attacks? Beyond that I'm a bit stumped, but that could be good! Nice work!

Maybe there can be a mid-story plot twist! Or just one side-quest~ Lots of stories to be told I'm sure!

Since our demo's release, our wishlists have increased by almost 50%! Thank you to everyone who's dipped their toes into the world of Crystal Rail! We'll be releasing a patch soon, keep the feedback comin!

The struggle is real the struggle is long, but after the struggle you'll find you belong~

I made up that song but I think it's premise is strong.

Well, I get why the gameplay ramifications of allowing an infinite dup glitch are stunning, though on the other hand the marketing of 'the game where inf dup is a feature' is intriguing as well~ I think there could feasibly be a middle ground, but either way, you know your game best!

Caught this demo aways back, I think as part of Wholesome Games? Loved the look, so glad to find you pressing on!

I mean a nightmare for game balance, but also a WILD piece of possibility for players - maybe there's some way to keep this as a feature, or balance it (ie make it harder to use)? If it doesn't break the game code-wise it seems a shame to lose something so unhinged~

Ah that is a fair point with the camera angle. Cool, thanks for the insight!

Curator connect - got it - that's the part which is news to me! Just that it like... exists and is helpful.

Breast- I mean- best of luck with everything! 🥁🥁📀
