It's time for another development blog post! Loco Motive has had an exciting year so far, with us recently showcasing the demo both on Steam and at this year's [b]PAX East [/b]in Boston. The game received a lot of positive feedback from the public and the press, and we're thrilled to share that [url=https://hardcoregamer.com/]Hardcore Gamer[/url] named Loco Motive one of their [url=https://hardcoregamer.com/pax/the-top-ten-games-of-pax-east-2023/439244/]Top Ten Games of PAX East 2023[/url]! "[i]Developers Robust Games made quite the impression thanks to a perfectly-cartoonish style, an intriguing setting, a great sense of humor and well-done puzzles that should hopefully challenge players even more in the final product. It all looks like another possible gem for the genre, and should be one train ride worth taking.[/i]" We couldn't agree more! We're grateful for the recognition and are committed to continuing to deliver a game that meets the expectations of our fans.

These events take place a little earlier in the evening, so we change up the lighting to reflect this. The brilliant sunset acts as a stark contrast to the stormy weather players will experience in the first section of the game.

While the game uses a traditional point & click interface, we know that many players prefer to play games with a gamepad, and we want to make sure Loco Motive is as accessible as possible. Now the game plays great with both!
