"The big reveal" på fredag 1 juni

[Marcus Gustavsson]

Jag känner spontant att jag mest känner mig besviken för att dom inkluderar PC som en del av detta stora avslöjande, för simulatorn har ju funnits till PC ett bra tag nu.
Men jag känner inte alls lika starkt kring detta som många av er andra tycks göra, för DTG har hela tiden varit tydliga med att det kommer att komma till konsol med, men det är verkligen inte gjort i en handvändning att föra över något till konsol.

Nu när det är färdigt till konsol och kommer att släppas dit, finns den färdiga basen för dom att utveckla verktyg och MP som kommer att passa alla spelets utgåvor, utan att man behöver sitta och göra om jobbet flera gånger.

Nu har DTG den grund dom behöver för att utveckla verktyg för tredjehandsutvecklare, så att det dom gör kommer kunna portas ut även till konsolerna.
Och nu har dom även möjlighet att bygga upp en fungerande multiplayer, som rent utav kommer att fungera mellan dator och konsol, vilket i realiteten gör multiplayern bättre för dom som så önskar att ta del utav den.

during yesterday's stream, DTG announced they'll soon have news about the editing tools, I'd expect them sharing those news with the community until the end of this month

Det lät verkligen intressant.
De har kanske lyssnat. de fick en oerhörd kritik när det 1 juni när det var mot spelkonsoler nyheten var

Såg detta. Det var samma som Mazz skrev om

Don't worry, a 3rd party editor is in the works, and its development is completely independent of the game content and its development

During the Consoles preview stream (aka PS4 gameplay preview) a DTG representative was in chat, like usual during an official DTG stream, and they answered a user who had a question about the editor saying they'd share news with us soon. Now soon we can suppose it is now but the end of this month, somewhen in July, or August,t hat we don't know.

Matt did also mention to us (in discord, and a few months ago iirc) there's already a couple 3rd party dev teams learning and practicing development with the UE4 editor, so that as soon as DTG release their editor, those devs can start their adaption and transition to develop content for TSW.

Ok TheMadHatter, time for me to step in here I think.
I'm afraid your expert analysis is flawed, because as others have pointed out, you're continuing to completely ignore the business model that DTG followed with Train Simulator. Our third party partners have produced so much content that it has kept the game alive for so long. It is the same business model we intend to carry over to Train Sim World.

Now we could have gone the route other game developers have gone and just released the standard Unreal 4 editor on launch, but this would have been a very, very bad move. We've already had a lot of critisim about how user-unfriendly the editor in Train Simulator is, and if you think the standard Unreal editor is any easier to use, you're dead wrong. Just give it a go and see for yourself. Someone with no background in games creation wouldn't know where to start with it!

We've been putting in a lot of work on our heavilly modified editor. Not only are we introducing more features to the editor, like the simugraph, the ability to include DLC content in scenarios without giving away the source and several other things, but we've also put a lot of effort into making the editor more user friendly and easier to use overall, even for beginners. As said, we want third parties to start creating content, but with the amount of critisim we've had over Train Simulator's editor, we also want to get this one right. Unfortunately, we can't do that and rush it.
Compounding the time is also the legal wranglings. We've made a lot of changes to the unreal editor, this requires us to agree on a special licence with Epic to release it.

And when we release the editor, which we will do as soon as we're happy that it's ready, it will be free of charge. We've always said this.

Bästa postningen från DTG på länge tror jag...

Förhoppningsnivån hos mig steg just med 5 punkter...

Tack jorgen3

Jag håller med. Jag trodde nästan TSW var döende, men detta är otroliga nyheter.
De håller på med editorer som släpps troligen snart (Höst) och att de börjar få till fysiken på loken som var varit riktigt bedrövligt.
Sedan om något år kanske så finns multiplayer på plats

Så nu tror jag på en väldig ljus framtid för TSW

Yet there still seems to be much confusion in the community as to what is happening and when.

Why?

And personally I think DTG needs to self-reflect in that aspect as they control the degree and effort of communcation and the customers can only react to it.

In respect to Discord, it seems that it should not be required that everyone needs to use Discord just to hear the latest and greatest titbit from a DTG representative. But the impression seems to be the case. The forum should be sufficient and is quite capable to communication anything desired.

By the way, Hi. I'm Luke, Dovetail's new trains community manager.

I agree, in the past, communications levels between Dovetail and it's community has been poor. As the new community manager it's my mission to turn this around and get everyone informed on all the latest official info from DTG, rather than everyone having to rely on tidbits spread through Discord or word of mouth from other community members.
I have already made a couple of changes and have set myself into a more permanent presence on these forums. Further changes will take a little more time as this is just my second week, but all I can say on that is watch this space.

Även detta känns positivt. Förhoppningsnivån ytterligare 2 punkter upp...
