It's taken 5 tries over the course of 4 years but I think we might finally have gotten our logo right. #indiedev #gamedev #logodesign #indiegame #typography

Big things are on the horizon! We've updated our Steam page with brand new art! Take a look, and if you haven't wishlisted, please take a second to do so - next month's new stop is one you won't want to miss! store.steampowered.com/app/3359330/... #indiegame #trains #painterly #steam #gamedev

This interaction is... surprisingly canon to the point where it may be spoiling the story 😅 #indiedev #tomodachilifelivingthedream

I have taken on a solemn mission to recreate the entire cast of my indie game in Tomodachi Life. #screenshotsaturday

Did you know that AFC has an indie game section this year? Find the extinct animal cast of our game Crystal Rail, and many other up and coming indies in the gaming hall!

For today's #WishlistWednesday we are emerging from months of hard work to reveal our #indiegame 's new Event System! Fans of #SlaytheSpire and #FTL will be right at home in the world of Crystal Rail! Try it in our demo today! #train #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/3359330/...

A bit of an unusual #screenshotsaturday - according to steam, over 85% of players who tried our #demo went on to wishlist our game! A huge thank you to all you new players - we will do our best to make Crystal Rail a game worthy of your time! #indiedev #gamedev #roguelite #steamnextfest

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! store.steampowered.com/app/3482820/... #indiedev #gamedev #roguelite #train

🔊SOUND ON! 🔊 Thanks to everyone who tried the Crystal Rail #demo so far! Your trains' capital is impressive, but your reactions are priceless! Wanna join the next video? DM us your run! store.steampowered.com/app/3482820/... #trailertuesday #indiegame #gamedev #roguelite #handpainted #trains

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/... #demo #indiedev #indiegame #roguelite

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! #indiedev #gamdev #wishlistWednesday #demo #roguelite #boardgame #train

This #screenshotsaturday should speak for itself - after almost 3 years of dev, Crystal Rail's first public demo is now live! Who's ready to start training? 🚂 store.steampowered.com/app/3482820/... #indiegame #gamedev #roguelite #handpainted #train #demo

Crystal Rail's demo releases tomorrow, and it's high time to introduce a certain handsome fellow! The Huia increases your reputation when you change train cars, pushing you to constantly reinvent your build. Will you follow the trends? #indiedev #gamedev #dapper #furry #bird #roguelite #handpainted

When I started Crystal Rail, I had a vague paper prototype and no programmer, but I did have many years of storyboard experience. As our demo release approaches, let's see what 3 years has done to that vision! #wipwednesday #wishlistwednesday #roguelike #handpainted #turnbased #indiedev #gamedev

🔊 Sound on! 🔊 Meet the Tarpan, loveable gentle giant types, who are content to ferry passengers on humble trains. But the world of Crystal Rail may meet their kindness with treachery. Will you stand by your morals? #trailertuesday #indiedev #gamedev #turnbased #roguelite #handpainted

Don't know if we're your speed exactly, but our game has a definite lack of jumpscares, and its skill is of a thoughtful and paced nature~ And it also has train conductors inspired by extinct animals! store.steampowered.com/app/3359330/...

Every 3 turns, a revolution overthrows the government, eliminating the poorest teams until only 1 remains. Can you come out on top? Fun Fact: The 'win' graphic was originally a tutorial image~ #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev #Roguelite #roguelike #handpainted #turnbased

We received an application with instructions to forward to your company, says he's a real driven individual and likes your corporate ethic?

To make this point, I just did a run out of the blue with yellow deck, gold stake; I died on ante 6, mostly because I got really unlucky with 3 tarot packs which didn't give me what I needed; basically this deck requires you to have trips or quads, and if you do, it multiplies X12. Gl!

What I'm hearing is.. YOU ROCK and so does your game xD The difference between us an Sisyphus is that every time we push the stone up the hill, it gets to be a cooler rock and more people come around to watch~ And eventually, we may have a pretty cool rock!

I made the first drawings for Crystal Rail almost 3 years ago and actually recorded a #timelapse of the process. I returned to one of those early backgrounds recently and recorded a new timelapse for comparison - have we improved? #indiedev #gamedev #wipwednesday #wishlistwednesday #painting

The aurochs know more than they let on. They give you 2 foresight every morning which lets you reroll train cars, train routes, or even entire governments! If you want a control-build in Crystal Rail, you're gonna need an auroch~ #roguelike #turnbased #handpainted #indiedev #gamedev #animal

Earlier versions of Crystal Rail showed your opponent's actions one by one. Every tester ended up skipping them. We reworked the entire UI and this #screenshotsaturday we proudly present a new screen which shows all opponent actions simultaneously! #indiedev #turnbased #roguelike #handpainted

Crystal Rail uniquely emphasizes anticipation and prediction. For a cost, you can often reroll or even predict the next day's events. In that spirit, we've got something brewing ourselves for tomorrow... What could it be? Stay turned 😉 #roguelike #indiegame #indiedev #handpainted #turnbased

Whimsical train is 100% our vibe~ That means so much 🥰 (There mayyyy be a demo toward the end of the month! )

We love a fellow crystal-art enjoyer~ (Wish I had a process I just kinda wing it and redraw till I'm sick of it or run out of time 😨)
