I've often had the same thought

Why are trains so brutally under utilized. So much Hub potential

Just do it in real life

Don't you have anything better to do?

What encourages you to remake the thread countless times?

no, i have this week off from work

Or some kind of huge trailer thingy maybe? Same comfy, more versatile in terms of the setting.

Trains are limited to whatever set of tracks they happen to be on. They can only travel to locations which have tracks set out for them, and have no way to even make it to another set of tracks unless they are connected. That's why trains are typically used to stage a single journey, or a quick transport between set locations. It's also why airships - which can go pretty much anywhere as long as you have fuel - are a lot more common in video games.

Heck, Dragon Quest IX had a train... which flew around like an airship.

THE RIDE NEVER ENDS

I'm not even doing this anymoe haha

>You will never live in a post-apocalyptic future like Snowpiercer but peaceful & comfy.

Why even life?

>tfw no post-apocalyptic survival truck simulator with cute anime grills

I think you just described Animal Crossing if you go between worlds a lot

Just play Euro Truck Simulator 2 guys. It's on sale even.

Aren't they in space, though?
It looks like they're in space...

>can't even pull over to take massive trucker shits

JUST GIVE ME A HARRY POTTER SIMULATOR WITH HOGWARTS EXPRESS AND OWLS AND WANDS

IT WOULD LITERALLY PRINT MONEY JK ROWLING YOU OLD COW

>tfw there will never be The Last Express HD remake

>that outlet right near her head
Have fun with cancer I guess

>No Space Dandy comfy train sim
>You will never stare out of the unlit train into the preening cosmos light up the window

this shitty thread again?

nothing better to do?

No, thats why im on Sup Forums
:^)

...

Move aside, Japanese peasant.

Admire the beauty that is obscure sci-fi of post-post apocalypse America written by some literally who about blue-eyed blonde confederates wiping out samurai nips and hippie indians with magic and future weed using these motherfuckers.

LOOK AT THAT SHIT. TELL ME YOU DO NOT WANT THAT SHIT, ROAMING THE PLAINS WITH A WAGONTRAIN THAT HAS FLAME THROWERS AND SUPERHEATED STEAM JETS ON THE BOTTOM TO RECLAIM THE BLUE-SKY WORLD HOO-RAH.

And for an example of the entire train. Fuck me I want this shit so hard.

Trains are greatly underused in all forms of media

For me user, Silent Hill 2 and 3 are the comfiest I can ever get with video games

Re-posting the image that set off so much discussion in yesterday's thread.

official thread theme

That looks comfy as fuck.

Trains defy exploration and have a set time limit in terms of pace.

A train goes from A to B, and will (barring spooky tree or leaves on the track if in the UK) arrive at a set time. These are potential obstacles to a writer that do not exist in other potential avenues using a travelling venue (car, boat, ship, truck)

There are a few novels that have used a train to great effect, pacing the narrative to the journey and using the cramped conditions and linear route to their advantage, a good example of this is Via boedenbach, or more obviously murder of the asian fasttrain.

Railsea isn't so good, don't read that one.

be the future you want to see

You know, between you and the OP, you gave me the idea of either a fantasy or post-apocalyptic sandbox game where your character operates out of an airship.

Basically you wander around the world going on adventures, and do things to make your airship more comfy. Even inviting companions to live with you aboard.

Adventuring would basically be like Daggerfall but easier mostly because your base of operations and home really should never be too far away from you.

thank you user

When will this be a reality
;__;

>Railsea isn't so good, don't read that one
Too late... I still love the idea of the trains traveling across mysterious ancient rail network even if its execution leaves a lot to be desired.

on /tg/, someone once came up with an idea for a setting that was basically "infinitely long trainworld" and sought ideas for how to fill in the cars.

Being /tg/, wasn't long for them to decide weird shit needed to be in them.

Okay I grant you that the basic concept is sound.

/tg/ is good at a couple things, but when theyre good at it, theyre really good.

how is it turning at a 90 degree angle, also
>what happens if you fall off?
;~;

>start in the very back of the train
>goal is to make it to the front
>every cart is its own unique level

Throw some engaging puzzles in there and I'm sold.

I'm actually working on a story inspired by this picture.

The government puts NEETS on a train to reduce housing, pollution and political unsettle meant eventually turn the rest of the outside world into a shitshow but the NEET express stays comfy and gliding around the world

Zeppelins will never be a thing ;_;

Sounds like Mega Man Legends or Skies of Arcadia... except that you can actually wander around the airship.

they are in BF1 though

As a moving turret. I want something substantial. Explore the zepplin, customize it. Crimson Skies's art and city levels did it really well .

Have you ever even been on a fucking train?
>oh no some kid jumped in front of the train, now the train has to stop so the blood and guts can be cleaned off
>since you still need to get to your destination, everyone pile onto one of several greyhound buses so you can arrive hours late and miss your next train

>looks like we hit a cow and need to stop the train, everyone onto the buses

>the train is having engine failure, everyone off the trains and get in the buses

Why in the world would an outlet cause cancer? That's as ridiculous as microwaves or wifi causing cancer.

>You know, between you and the OP, you gave me the idea of either a fantasy or post-apocalyptic sandbox game where your character operates out of an airship.

Only if there are other wandering airships that you can come across and dock with. And you pick up crew members in towns like in Mount & Blade except they are mechanics and navigators instead of warriors.

>Merchant airships that sell food and fuel and furniture and other goods
>Casino airship (with whoors)

>drama ensues
>fall off train
>cute girl is still on
>train can't stop
>depressing music starts playing, will never see her again, in this infinite world

see you on the track, user. Hopefully the next train is more beautiful.

>>oh no some kid jumped in front of the train, now the train has to stop so the blood and guts can be cleaned off

In the game world nobody would care about that. The train would just keep going.

>the train is having engine failure, everyone off the trains and get in the buses

Magical trains don't brake down unless their mana cells become depleted, which the conductor would no let happen. The train wizards at the stations would keep them topped off.

German Engineering and if you fall off you land on the other train. There's another train below that one and one below that one.

After that it's turtles all the way down.

yeah, but there's always that one poster when someone needs suggestions for a setting who says "we need some eldritch horror, bio-meatmass shit up in this bitch".

When I have about 150,000,000 USD* to hire a team/learn programming and develop it.

If the original Post-Apocalypse version sells well, I'd then develop a Fantasy version and a Space version, both sold as full expansions. "Modern World" exploration would be a kickstarter stretch goal or something.

*I have little idea how much it would cost to develop a game, I know TOR's starting budget was like 12mil, but they're an already established studio and dev team, so I imagine it costs more when you're freshly starting.

How about puzzles mixed in with problem solving stuff?

Wander around the airship, decorate it, expand it, upgrade it, store lore-books you find in the world, make rooms for companions, all that good stuff.

That is a terrible fucking drawing

It always struck me as something really neat for an online game. The Phantasy Star Universe thing, where you could set up and design your room and then invite others in to look at it... expect in this case, it's an entire airship. Or maybe a starship, depending on the game type.

now that i think about it, if you could have the atmosphere from the anime Aria put into a video game about exploring a world as a cute little girl where nothing bad happens, you'd probably start a trend.

The best parts of Metro 2034: Last Light were the spooky railcart bits. Solving issues on the track, having to divert yourself, and the option to get off and explore for supplies were some of the most immersive and interesting bits of the game.

Too bad the whole second half was an apologia for your justified killing of the retarded aliens to beat you over the fucking head with the moral point that was conveyed enormously better in the first game.

Also, the STALKER DLC for Last Light was incredible. They could easily have made a game about some random bumfuck Ranger who slowly raises in rank over his illustrious career. No Nazis, no aliens, just spooky anomalies and mutants that you have to fight alongside your fellow Ranger brothers.

Towns, of course, other airships? Hmmm... Another good idea. If only I'd ever be able to develop it

Ah, in a way you described my dream. Basically making a Stardust CYOA as an online game.

>yfw Zeppelin warfare was a thing
Based Huns put fun in war.

Metro: Last Light is based off the book, Metro 2035. There is no game for Metro 2034 and hell, it doesn't even star the protag, Artyom.

Oops, you just breathed air! That's also cancer.

My bad, m8.

It does seem like 2033 was a one-off experience, though. Either the producers interfered fucking hard, or Glukhovsky thinks anyone who plays a video game is a lobotomite.

Why do terrorists not derail trains?
Put a huge rock somewhere on an obscure part of the railroad and literally nobody will know it was you

>snowpiercer
Movie was weird, but I enjoyed it

When Glukhovsky was making Metro 2033 he believed that Americans wouldn't understand the currency was used like we're a bunch of fucking idiots.

He still hasn't translated Metro 2035 to English and so I had to learn Russian and read it my fucking self.

>literally nobody will know it was you
Well that's not the point. Its called terrorism for a reason, they want you to know that its them.

The whole point of terrorism is to claim responsibility to get your point across

Write "For Allah" on the rock

It was great until the last 20 minutes.

I don't even know why he chose to put whatever allegory he was going for completely off the fucking rails.

Heh.

Reminder that the conductor did literally nothing wrong
I don't know why derailing the train was a good decision, it came off as an anti-human sentiment
Which is maybe what he meant, in which case, fine

Well someone wanting to fuck shit up then

Yeah. Even if it's sort of liveable outside. Why destroy a train killing literally everyone on board? Train had everything needed to sustain life.

A seldom understood fact is that for people who call their cause "the noble STRUGGLE", terrorists are lazy as fuck.

That's why the do suicide bombings, they don't want to put the effort into getting into big gunfights or even chasing down people running from them. They just want to go in, blow up, chill in 'heaven' with 72 virgins. they don't know the virgins are all traps.

Do you really think they'd put the effort into moving a rock big enough to derail a train when they could just go to the engine, drop their pants, and "allah ackbar" over everything with milky white TNT?

Do you live in India or something?

That's weirdly unfortunate. I wouldn't understand why a Russian would think poorly of American intelligence, of all things.

Granted, a lot of 2033 was dedicated to some psuedointellectual mysticism that came off as really trying hard in translation, but I understand that's more par for the course in Eastern Europe.

Alternatively, I'm just soaked in the analytic tradition.

Guys, you don't understand. Down with the bourgeois. It's wrong that they have nice stuff, everyone should have equally nice things.

WHY DOES THIS LOOK SO COZY

sounds good mate

Small spaces, calming sounds, warm colors.

It's like marketing 101 dude, get it together.

>tfw no harry potter semi-sandbox RPG where you make choices that determine your origins, friends you make, classes you take, houses your sorted into, making the Quidditch team, etc. etc.

Don't forget the cute girls

How the hell is this meant to work in a thread. By the time you get your setup figured out the thread would have 404'd hours ago.

It's weird how much people hate making money.

Same with Pokemon. Everyone was saying for years that if they released any type of Pokemon MMORPG they would make a killing beyond killings.

They release a completely fucking garbage Augmented Reality app that is, for the most part, completely unusable and utterly lacking in any sort of content and their stocks literally double.

Fuck, just go to CDPR and say 'after 2077 make a Harry Potter game' and it would be insanely profitable.

If you wanted to make a quick buck, you could pawn it off on Bioware. You could go to Obsidian if you wanted to flip a coin on it being amazing or mediocre.

Any path toward releasing a Hogwarts videogame is a fucking money printing machine and no one does it. Why on earth?

when will this comfy meme stops? it's fucking retard

/tg/ moves way slower than Sup Forums, still at an appreciable pace but not enough for a thread to 404. Plus, that's just peanuts compared to the full version.

Screencap this thread, user. I'm going to make this game. Im serious.

back to your chair you egg

Too bar Airplaces shitrekt them as means of assault. Zepplins were still decent for observation posts, but were not good for making bombing runs or battlefield support fire.

Well maybe you could do something, where Airplaces never developed machine guns that could fire between the spin of the propeller. That was one of the first issues encountered by planes in World War 1. The first dog fights were done by pilots shooting at each other with pistols as they flew about, then a gunner was put in the back seat with a rifle, before finally a machine gun could be mounted that was in time with the spin of the propeller.

Outlets constantly emit radiation, as does electricity and radios.
Long time exposure and bye bye brain cells.

You know what else constantly emits radiation?

THE GODDAMNED SKY.

There is such a thing as "universal background radiation" and a global radiation level. You're not going to be killed from an electrical outlet any more than you are from walking outside or breathing air.

Could create a zepplin fleet as game progression. With bridges across that could be made so you could travel between the blimps.

As someone who had cancer and then studied it for 2 years, yes this is true.
But exposure to air would cause cancer in over 300 hours compared to high exposure to electrical devices near your head causing in about 20 years.
I understand "everything" causes cancer but certain things cause it faster than others.
Electricity, radiation,.environment, diet, bad luck, etc

>300 hours
I meant years, fuck

There are people who work around electricity for a living though, like power plant workers or industrial electricians, surely it would be more well known if it was an actual issue?

>everything is a meme
Comfy isn't a meme, fuck off
