Alpha 0.18 Patch Notes

The game now keeps running in the background, rail lines get proper junction visuals, and buildings pulse when you can afford an upgrade — plus a batch of fixes.

New Features

  • The game now continues running while its window is unfocused or in the background
  • Added proper junction visuals where rail lines cross without sharing a station
  • Updated the early Yellow and Purple Line layouts so their combo station appears during the demo
  • Buildings now pulse when they have an upgrade the player can afford
  • The end-demo screen now appears after all demo content is completed, even if the anomaly is never interacted with

UI Changes

  • Darkened the Yellow Line color for better contrast and readability

Bug Fixes

  • Darkened the splash screen background (it's black now!)
  • Fixed an issue where two purchasable stations could be drawn on top of one another
  • Fixed rail crossings outside stations not displaying a proper junction
  • Fixed the latest progress not always being saved before the anomaly's screen-off transition
  • Many other generic stability improvements and optimizations
