BOO! BOO! TRAIN!

ONE LINE
A cozy train journey through a valley that keeps its own time.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Drive a little train through Pinewind Valley. Drive slowly, pick a line at every junction, stop for the view and
whistle at the neighbours. The valley runs on a real clock: one real hour is one day there, and the season turns
every week. Nothing to build, nothing to fail.

ABOUT
Throttle and brakes take a moment to bite, like a real train, and the couplings clank as the cars pull straight.
Or set the train to cruise and simply look out of the window. Wooden signs at seven junctions point two ways; notes
left at each place hint at the next one, and the map only fills in what you have seen.

Rain, wind and snow come and go on their own. Summer brings storms with thunder and a rainbow afterwards; autumn
brings mist in the mornings and leaves on the wind; winter snow settles on the roofs and on the train. At night the
headlamp comes on, the coach lamps sway, and the Milky Way, the moon and the odd shooting star turn overhead, and in
the water when the line runs out across the shallow sea to the Water Halt.

At Pinewind Shed your train turns slowly on the turntable while you choose: 21 locomotives, from little steam
engines and trams to a bullet train, with coaches to pull behind. Repaint it, hang flags, garlands or lanterns,
give it a name and a whistle of its own. Every new place gives you a souvenir sticker for the coach sides and a
postcard for your journal.

AI DISCLOSURE
- The 3D models were built in Blender by scripts written with an AI coding assistant, directed and chosen by the
  developer.
- A few material textures (fine surface detail for wood, metal, stone, fabric and rock) and a thin-cloud sky
  texture were made with an AI image generator from the developer's prompts.
- The station illustration used in the Steam capsules and press page was made with AI image tools under the
  developer's direction. The logo is vector artwork and gameplay images are captured from the game.
- Most of the game's code and shaders were written with AI coding assistants under the developer's direction.
- The official trailer uses the game's music synthesised in code. Note sequences and sound designs were developed
  with the help of an AI language model. The in-development Lotus River area has also used generated festival
  voices and vocal music from ElevenLabs.

  language model.
- The fonts are open-source (SIL Open Font License): LXGW WenKai TC, jf open huninn and Noto Sans CJK.
