After watching back the highlight reel of explosions here, Mrs. Brill had a great idea for you: You need a “Yes, Rico. Kaboom” Mode, where everything explosive will go off uncomfortably easily, and with randomly multiplied explosive force.

I will neither confirm nor deny that multiplying the explosive force by about 100 will yeet the loco off of ponderosa entirely and it is hilarious

The sound design for everything in this game is just the best in the industry. You can’t find a train game with better sounds than this.

BOILER EXPLOSIONS?! Oh this is gonna be great! Edit: Okay, those were absolutely insane lmao, but I have one major suggestion. I don’t know if it’ll be possible and I understand if it’s not, but I think it’d be hilarious for the in-game soundtrack to suddenly fade into the climax of Kenosha as the boiler starts to fail.

Those whistle sounds are absolutely magnificent. The only complaint here is that it seems that they sort of "glitch" when they're pulled on quickly. Minor detail but other than that great work! I'd also love to see that whistle supercut.

No idea how the audio is simulated, but it might be possible to fix it with a smoothing function applied to the *input* itself (the number attached to how far the cord is pulled) that kicks in hardest when the input variable varies relatively little. A sort of hysteresis on top of that might also help.​ @@Hyce777

Rumour has it that there's a revenue stream in career mode inspired by the "crash at crush". You'll be down two locos, but at least the traffic increased, and you put on a great show (for those who weren't injured).

Well I’m from Victoria and I was so happy to hear a whistle from my state

"There was a kaboom! An earth shattering kaboom!"

Don't know about the US, but in a lot of UK locos, there are stripes behind the sight glasses; The refraction of the water makes the stripes go the opposite way behind areas with water making it easier to see. Might be hard to program that in.

It's pretty much just a change in the texture on the sight glass but we did not have those here in the US. Stripes in the sight glass were also prevalent on mainland Europe locos.

I really like the massive amount of work you guys put in to this game! I can't wait to play it someday! Maybe in the extreme long run you could add a German hoot or 2 on the whistle list? Those are very special for me because my first time hearing a whistle was one of those. I've got a few videos with the whistle playing, so if you guys want to try it someday (when you have the time of course), I would be happy to send those over!

​@@sockenbullegamingI'd guess something like what railroader does, where on easier difficulty you have an imaginary winch to get everything back to the track, then get a helper engine to pull it back to the shop for repairs, while on harder difficulty you might need to bring some sort of crane over and an empty flat to put the busted loco on. Hard to say cause boiler explosions, like he said, are going to be only on the hardest difficulty.

In the world of incongruent sounds, I found an LP a while back with period recordings of NYC locomotives, including one of an S-1b Niagara barrelling at high speed towards the recorder with the westbound Mohawk near Buffalo - then the single-note WABCO E-2 speaks!

So I will say it's not exaggerated at all. That is very much what happened in many of the boiler explosions in the book Train Wrecks I have. There was an explosion where the boiler flew for 2 miles onto someone's backyard. Again, not unheard of.

I think it was during a Kan/Hyce Railroads Online video a long time ago, but Hyce casually mentioned that (And I forget which railroad it was, though it may have been D&RGW standard gauge) the tail end crew in the caboose were just chilling, a mile or so back from the head end, when suddenly the train went into emergency, and came to a screeching halt. Now this was before radios, so the tail end crew walked up to the head end to see what happened, only to find the wheelset of the locomotive, with the boiler a couple hundred feet away, the cab and crew completely missing, and the rails under the loco's wheels bent downwards. Apparently, the boiler exploded at the rear, causing the entire boiler to flip forward, tearing right off the cylinder saddle, and wrecking the cab, with the actual explosion being powerful enough that it pushed the wheelset into the rails with enough force to bend them downward. Because apparently, they were far enough back that they didn't hear their head end go boom. There's a reason that after 1908ish steam locomotives were no longer allowed to operate within New York City limits.

@@Hyce777 little engines could generate some big bangs though, though to do their worst they needed a little help. CIP, a boiler explosion on a vertical-boiler contractor's locomotive at Waiareka Junction near Oamaru (NZ) on 22 May 1876 where the crew had tied down the safety valve in an attempt to get more boiler pressure. While I'm not sure what the normal operating pressure was, or what pressure it got up to before Kenosha, the aftermath blew pieces of boiler nearly 100 meters away from the remains of the engine and launched the body of the contractor's clerk nearly ten meters into the air. For a small engine, that's pretty impressive in a macabre way...

@@alastaircross4713 yowza. That's impressive. What I'm figuring is we leave the boiler explosions as they are, and scale from the other ones

I think what could be fun, albeit not too sure how much in the realm of possibility this is, would to get KaN on to help showcase the multiplayer running of trains, given how Mark and KaN have a history of playing train games together

I’d love to see a second rendition on the VR 5 chime, they tend to be a lot more throaty, a love addition nonetheless

For whistles I hope that the L&N 3 chime or 5 chime and possibly the "Satan's Wail" whistle from the Casey Jones show will be in game at some point. I've loved how far the game and Hyasynth has come. I hope we all can enjoy it whenever you and your team release it. -Novicetech

I love the VR whistle! I hear it regularly living close to Steamrail's depot, even just yesterday. It sounds very familiar!

I love how you can hear the different whistle pitches echoing at different times.

The VR 5 chime might be prototypical. The VR NA class of Narrow Gauge engine was a narrow gauge Baldwin designed tank engine and it's design is very simular to other tank engines you already have. The apple green lining of the pre-1906 engines is my favorite. A bunch of the locomotives service today as the Puffing Billy Railway from Belgrave to Gembrook.

The explosions caught me so off guard even though I knew they were coming. Sure they might not be realistic but it's _way_ more fun this way! Also the waffling on and getting distracted by the details to make the cars explode felt like a legitimate Hyce moment. I assume Mark was acting in order to show off the explosion, but it felt super smooth.

Looking absolutely amazing. Loving ALL the technical details.

Listening to you talk about timbre makes me realise this game is in good hands. Attention to these kinds of details are so lacking in games these days! Really appreciate the level of passion going into this project, looking forward to the release!

I would 1000% love a supercut of all whistles. hope the whistle from Petticoat Junction is in game if not there's a good KZread video of it as a reproduction of the whistle used on the show

G'day from Australia! I'm very excited to hear a VR five chime being added, it has made my day!

Of all the things I expected from this channel, a Madagascar Xmas short reference was not one of them

As far as whistles go, I'd love to see a supercut. I was also wondering if there was a chance we'll hear the 6-chime the 489 wore thru the 90s. It was always my favorite whistle to hear while I was still living in Chama.

The moment this game comes out, I’M FUCKING BUYING IT

Where's the Earth-Shattering Ka- oh there it is 😂 Loving the progress!!

Clicked for deer guy on the thumbnail, stayed for trains.

"You can run on some pretty cursed railroads." I swear, I could hear a "...kAN" at the end of that.

Oh man, this is going to be very exciting when the game comes out soon. Especially with those explosions and causing chaos. Amazing work as always guys 🔥

If you have a whistle from Australia you could also do one from New Zealand, like the whistle found on the NZR Ka classes.

This is going to be the best train sim ever keep up the amazing work.

Absolutely stunning

WOOO VR 5 CHIME!!! Sounds great, I heard one in-person just yesterday on a K class! A whistle I'd suggest (if not yet added) would be a South African Railways 3 chime.

How about the cool whistle that you made be put in the game?

My only whistle Request is the N&W prototype Passenger 3 chimes, 475 has wore a replica of one once or twice, and the dimensions of them have been known for a long time.

"Honey, I blew up the choo-choo"

Definitely should have the "you died" screen with that music cue in the game. 😊

"Derail Valley's explosions are too small. If you want something done right, do it yourself!"

Lovely looking game, cant wait!

I assume there's been some very enjoyable inspiration from Derail Valley. Those explosions are really rad. I'm certain nobody will try to compete to get the largest, most spectacular kabooms once CoS is released.

the booms.might generally be bigger then irl but there has been an instance of a train car yeeting itself three quarters of a mile so it's not to insane

I was hoping the boom would damage the bridge, creating interesting “Bridge is out situations”

This game never ceases to amaze and mesmerize with just how good and detailed it is.

Great ES&D moment!

That handsome buck in the thumbnail is enough for my like, def going to sub.

I can’t not read the title in the Skipper voice

Would be nice to see the explosions have a realistic setting alongside of the fun arcadey one, since you've already got yourself into one hell of a "options simulator", one more won't hurt :D Definitelly looking forward to the game's eventual release

For extra effect start Smells like Kenosha at 16:24, 22:50 and at 24:56

That one truck that flew up in the air and came down. Really wanted to break dance 😂

Would love to see more CPR and CNR whistles. Great work!

Speaking of whistles, which whistle did you use in the ending scene of the game's trailer? The part that shows a 4-4-0 and advertising to wishlist on Steam. I would love to know the name of that whistle used!

Beautiful game design so far.

I highly recommend the Canadian 4 Chime if you haven't added it already.Absolutely gorgeous whistle and definitely in my top three favorite whistles.

I was wondering when we’d see the boiler explosions.

My best analogy for the sound is that after changes you felt the multiple levels simultaneously but before changes it felt like it was all sandwiched on 1 plain

I mean, the big boom just makes clearing the tracks easier!

The "You Died" screen in the speed lettering is amazing lmao

It's looking and sounding great. As for sound requests from the UK, the whistle of an A4 Pacific, Flying Scotsman. If you could add custom steam sound, it has to be the bark of a black 5.

And yet the bridge remains!

Ah man This is def. Looking like everything I want, youre the perfect person for it too.

This is how you don’t put fish in the boiler like Thomas say I’m going to burst im going to burst

As soon as I heard Mark talking about the details in the game while he was reversing onto the boxcars, I knew EXACEXACTLY what was going to happen!

I fully expect the player character to get launched across the map if they happen to be in the cab at the moment of a boiler explosion a-la hitting the map border in ATV Offroad Fury 2. 😁

Random question for the team, would it be possible to put hya-synth technology on a phone app? As someone with a lot of older o gauge trains, a lot of them don’t have any sound other than the buzzing of a motor or e-unit and someone on KZread once mentioned putting a Bluetooth speaker in a boxcar or the cab of a locomotive. The app he uses to play the whistle, bell, etc. doesn’t exist on apple phones so I thought if your tech could be put on a phone app, then foamers like me could mount a speaker in our models and have a whole library of different whistles to help our little toys feel a little more real, and a little more like us, and if an artificial echo can be squeezed in then those modeling mountainous territory would would be slapped in the face with realism. Sorry if this comment sounds stupid 😅
