第三方開發(fā)人員（合作伙伴計(jì)劃）更新

我們的一些合作伙伴計(jì)劃開發(fā)人員提供的更新。本月，我們有一個(gè)來自Just火車團(tuán)隊(duì)的更新，在他們的第一條TSW3路線被添加到路線圖中之后。

只是火車

Just Train團(tuán)隊(duì)正在努力將我們的第一款產(chǎn)品帶到Train Sim World。我們已經(jīng)完成了40多英里的軌道鋪設(shè)和信號傳輸，團(tuán)隊(duì)現(xiàn)在正在詳細(xì)介紹世界，達(dá)到我們客戶對Just Train的期望。

一個(gè)全面的季節(jié)性時(shí)間表正在制定中，我們期待著能夠向人們展示在未來幾個(gè)月中正在取得的成就。與此同時(shí)，一輛令人興奮的新列車將加入火車模擬世界陣容，作為我們產(chǎn)品的一部分！

TSG

該團(tuán)隊(duì)正在研究發(fā)布后的NidertalBay改進(jìn)，這將在稍后的補(bǔ)丁中出現(xiàn)。除了性能改進(jìn)外，其標(biāo)題是允許控制臺按預(yù)期激活PZB。

內(nèi)部開發(fā)——我們?nèi)绾芜x擇路線

這是我們經(jīng)常被問到的問題之一：我們?nèi)绾芜x擇我們在游戲中開發(fā)的路線？

嗯，這是一個(gè)相當(dāng)復(fù)雜的過程，我們已經(jīng)灌輸了史蒂夫，我們的高級制片人之一(也是 LAMP流程 -下面有更多關(guān)于此的信息!)，提供詳細(xì)信息。

選擇路線是一個(gè)特別復(fù)雜的過程，通常從內(nèi)部（工作人員）或外部（社區(qū)）來源的大綱提案開始。對我們來說，了解我們正在努力實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo)是什么，我們所做的任何事情不僅對我們有價(jià)值，對我們的球員也有價(jià)值。了解一條路線與整個(gè)內(nèi)容目錄的契合點(diǎn)，同時(shí)為玩家提供價(jià)值和娛樂是至關(guān)重要的。當(dāng)我們評估提案時(shí)，我們會(huì)關(guān)注四個(gè)主要領(lǐng)域，我們稱之為“燈”流程： 許可、預(yù)期、混合和突出。

L-許可

許可涵蓋了我們的法律義務(wù)，并回答了一些問題，例如我們是否有許可證或協(xié)議，以確保我們能夠在提議的時(shí)間內(nèi)與現(xiàn)實(shí)世界中看到的列車適當(dāng)?shù)卮砺肪€？我們是否需要攜帶任何額外的許可證來開發(fā)路線？然后，這將告知我們的許可和合同團(tuán)隊(duì)他們需要將資源集中在哪里。M-混合

混合更詳細(xì)地查看游戲元素。路線中是否提供了足夠的游戲性來讓玩家保持忙碌和參與？包含的內(nèi)容和游戲性的價(jià)值是否與預(yù)期的定價(jià)一致？游戲量是否與先前發(fā)布的內(nèi)容一致？游戲性中是否有任何獨(dú)特的元素，我們可以利用這些元素來改進(jìn)游戲性產(chǎn)品（新的行業(yè)元素或互動(dòng)組件，可以增強(qiáng)體驗(yàn)）?

P-突出

突出看路線的全球商業(yè)吸引力——代表的地點(diǎn)是全球已知的，還是路線只有當(dāng)?shù)厝酥?？是否有突出的地?biāo)來正確代表路線？包含的機(jī)車對玩家是否有適當(dāng)?shù)奈?（他們出名了嗎）?那些具有更大的全球吸引力和強(qiáng)大的標(biāo)志性特征的路線，有可能吸引玩家的列車更有可能獲得批準(zhǔn)。

一旦以上所有區(qū)域都被評估，我們就會(huì)使用交通燈對每個(gè)部分進(jìn)行評分：紅色–不走。黃色——關(guān)注。綠色——走。然后，對標(biāo)記為紅色或黃色的任何區(qū)域提出建議，并將其放在第五部分中，稱為建議/機(jī)會(huì)。建議是那些強(qiáng)調(diào)可以修改建議書以提高總分的地方的建議。機(jī)會(huì)是那些使我們能夠通過添加額外內(nèi)容或包括提案中未考慮的關(guān)鍵要素來“突破極限”或提高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的領(lǐng)域，例如可以增加轉(zhuǎn)換/分流機(jī)會(huì)的院子或有助于提高全球吸引力的關(guān)鍵里程碑。

例如，在審查提交的波士頓-普羅維登斯航線提案時(shí)，發(fā)現(xiàn)需要一個(gè)關(guān)鍵方面來最大限度地發(fā)揮航線在游戲性和突出方面的潛力——這當(dāng)然是美國鐵路公司的阿塞拉?。我們強(qiáng)調(diào)，美國鐵路公司的Acela?更有可能因紐約的旅游業(yè)而在國際上以及全國和當(dāng)?shù)芈劽?，因?yàn)樗敲绹ㄒ坏母咚倭熊嚪?wù)。這也與球員提交的建議進(jìn)行了交叉比較，他們也向我們確認(rèn)這是一個(gè)要求很高的列車，我們建議它應(yīng)該優(yōu)先發(fā)展。

Train Sim World 3 Core Improvements and Content Patches

A progress summary on the core improvements the teams are working on. This month, we have (everyone’s favourite) Add-ons Manager, a follow up on pathing/red lights improvements, and a quick note on upcoming patches.

Add-ons Manager

We’ve added Add-ons Manager functionality to PS4, which, as well as helping players who had reached a limit on Add-ons access to their full collection, has brought on a reduction of loading time and general performance improvements. Next on our list is Xbox, before we bring it to PC platforms afterwards.

Spirit of Steam AI SPAD and physics improvements

The team are aiming for Peak Forest’s release to bring you improvements to AI SPADs on the Liverpool-Crewe route, as well as some physics tweaks (that we plan to bring to both Liverpool-Crewe and West Cornwall Local Steam).

HST Livery Designer Compatibility

We are hoping, all being well, to bring this to you with Midland Main Line’s release in April.

Peninsula Corridor and Oakville Corridor Baby Bullet services

We’re now bundling these two pieces of content together, as they are caused by the same UI issue. Whilst we’ve not made progress since the last Roadmap on this one, it’s something the team will be investigating as soon as we’re able.

TSW2 Preservation Crew releases

This has been a particularly tricky project to schedule into our calendars, and we apologise for the delay in bringing this to you. We are committed to bringing the improvements to you, and are hopeful they will be released in the next couple of months.

For context, this was the largest patch update we’ve made within TSW (when it released for TSW3 in September), so requires a lot of space to prepare and put into builds. Thanks for bearing with us.

Niddertalbahn

Bremen-Oldenberg

Third-Party developer (Partner Programme) update

Updates from some of our Partner Programme developers. This month, we have an update from the team at Just Trains, after their first TSW3 route has been added to the Roadmap.

Just Trains

The Just Trains team are working hard bringing our first product to Train Sim World. We've completed over 40 miles of track laying and signalling, and the team are now in the process of detailing the world to the level that our customers have come to expect from Just Trains.

A fully featured seasonal timetable is in the course of development and we are looking forward to be able to show people what is being achieved in the coming months. Along with this, an exciting new train will join the Train Sim World line-up as part of our product!

TSG

The team are working on post-release Niddertalbahn improvements, which will come in a later patch. As well as performance improvements, the headliner of which is allowing consoles to activate PZB as intended.

Inside Development – How we pick our routes

It’s one of the questions we get asked all the time: How do we select the routes we develop within our games?

Well, it’s a pretty intricate process, and we’ve instilled Steve, one of our Senior Producers (and owner of the LAMP process – more on this below!), to provide the details.

Choosing a route is a particularly complex process and generally begins with an outline proposal, either from an internal (staff member) or external (community) source. It is particularly important for us to understand what it is we’re trying to achieve and that anything we proceed with is of value not just to us but to our players too. Understanding where a route fits in with the entire catalogue of content, whilst providing value and entertainment for players is critical. When we evaluate a proposal, we look at four major areas, what we refer to as the LAMP process: Licensing, Anticipation, Mix and Prominence.

L - Licensing

Licensing covers our legal obligations and answers questions such as do we have licenses or agreements in place to ensure we can represent the route appropriately with the trains that are seen on the route in the real world, for the time period proposed? Are there any additional licenses we need to bring in to develop the route? This then informs our Licensing and Contracts Team on where they need to focus their resources.

A - Anticipation

Anticipation is about how our players perceive the route, and the included content. This probably is the most subjective area of the evaluation as we’re essentially evaluating how well players will receive the route in its proposed form. We spend a great deal of time looking at the reviews and comments from similarly based routes that we released previously as well as any thoughts and concerns raised on any proposals that have been submitted by players. Are players going to find the content boring or just a duplication of a previously released route? If there is strong support for a route, where is it in the hierarchy?

M - Mix

Mix looks at the gameplay element in greater detail. Is there enough gameplay provided in the route to keep players occupied and engaged? Does the value of the included content and gameplay align with the intended pricing? Does the gameplay volume align with previously released content? Are there any unique elements in the gameplay that we can leverage to improve the gameplay offering (new industry elements or interactive components that can enhance the experience)?

P - Prominence

Prominence looks at the global commercial appeal of the route – are the locations represented known globally or is the route known only to locals? Are there prominent landmarks which are required to properly represent the route? Do the included locos have appropriate appeal to the players? Is there any prominence to the locos (are they famous)? Routes that have greater global appeal and have strong landmark features, with trains that are likely to engage the players are more likely to move forward to approval.

Once all the above areas are evaluated, we then use traffic lights to score each segment: Red – No Go. Yellow – Concerns. Green – Go. Recommendations are then made for any areas marked Red or Yellow and placed in a fifth section called Recommendations/Opportunities. Recommendations are those which highlight where the proposal can be modified to improve the overall score. Opportunities are those areas which enable us to “push the envelope” or raise the bar by adding additional content or including key elements not factored in the proposal such as a yard which could add switching/shunting opportunities or a key landmark which will help to improve global appeal.

As an example, on reviewing the proposal submitted for the Boston – Providence route, it was identified that a key aspect was required to maximise the route’s potential in terms of gameplay and prominence – this was of course Amtrak’s Acela?. We highlighted that it is more likely that Amtrak’s Acela? was perhaps known internationally due to tourism in New York, as well as nationally and locally, due to its prominence as America’s only High-Speed Train service. This was also cross-compared with proposals submitted by players who also confirmed to us it was a highly demanded train and we recommended it should be prioritised for development.
