Hey everyone,

I have learned a massive amount during the lead-up to Steam Next Fest. To be completely transparent: I originally thought we could participate without a public demo, but I quickly realized that a demo is essential for the full Next Fest experience.

I want to apologize for the confusion! Because of the way Steam's sales scheduling works with our game release, we were not able to participate in the Spring Sale (March 19 – March 26).

However, we are using this time to polish the experience, and I’m excited to announce that we will be part of the Steam Summer Sale (June 25 – July 9) with a launch discount!

What’s coming next:

- New Feedback: I am wanting to get more feedback from impressions from playing the game. Let us know in the comments what feedback you might have.
- Feedback Roadmap: I am finalizing a detailed look at our path to 1.0, including the feedback to transition to human-made art. I also want to introduce a new rail corridor in the game from a Mountain Rail corridor.
- YouTube Content: Look for "behind-the-scenes" [videos](https://www.youtube.com/@ColoradoRailGame) on the development process and the transit history of Colorado.
- Merch Store: We’ll soon have ways for you to represent the Colorado Rail Game (and support our Ukrainian dev team) off-screen!

Thank you for sticking with us as we navigate our first Steam launch. We’re building this one track at a time! Blake
