Are you just an adult that wants to play with model trains?

Are you a person of any age/race/gender that wants to play with model trains?

If you answered yes to any of the above, do I have news for you because Locomancer lets you PLAY WITH AND RIDE MODEL TRAINS!
(Also if you answered no to all of the above, come on, we all know you're lying to yourself and everyone you love. Take a break from the wave shooters and play with some trains.)

Locomancer is a toy box style model train simulator for touch enabled SteamVR headsets. It allows you to build layouts of varying complexity and even defy what is physically possible in fake virtual reality (reality).

Featuring:

  • Multiple locomotives including steam and diesel engines
  • A variety of rail cars including a fully functional cannon car
  • Straight track, curved track, inclined track, loop de loops, and more!
  • Various pieces of scenery to add detail your layouts

Plus, with support for custom scenery, you can bring models created by yourself or the community into the game for even further customization (Steam Workshop support coming soon). The possibilities are nearly endless*!

Fully embracing the physicality of touch enabled virtual reality you are legally required to build layouts piece by piece, tree by tree. Then, once complete you must remotely operate your trains with a replica DC control panel or hop in the cab of any of the available locomotives and drive them with physical levers, knobs, and dials! They even burst in to flames when they crash, you can't say that about your real model trains can you?

Oh...you can? I'd get that checked out if I were you.

So what are you waiting for? Become The Locomancer!

Yes, you are the Locomancer. Was that not clear? It's like a train wizard. You're like the babe with the power, but instead of voodoo it's train magic. Also, there's no magic dance, but you can still dance to twenty-six minutes of sweet big band jazz by Nathan Boler if you want to.

*The possibilities are totally endful, but there's still a lot you can do.

My son suckered me into buying this. I Sent him home to bed early and played 2.6 hours on my first try. If you liked trains as a child and loved the idea of having a very large track layout in a room, then this is for you. At first, the control scheme is a pain, the tutorial needs real help, and I didn't look for a tutorial either or notes on how to use this simluator. As far as it goes, the trigger is important on the controls: Holding Trigger grabs objects and if you grabbed a table and while the control illuminates red, hit the trackpad once to unlock and move then press tracks again while holding trigger and table to snap tables in place and on the floor. (its a pain at first but feels very natural after getting the controller scheme figured out.) Holding Trigger to an object and while gripping the controller at the same time deletes objects including table (it turns red and brightens to max and deletes). Holding trigger forms finger to press buttons on virtual controls and ...

First things first, the Guy/Girl developing this is amazing. Incredibly active and responsive to the communities feedback. This is my most played VR title. If you are into trains, or explosions, buy this game.

This game is great! I enjoy building a model train set and being able to change the scale that I'm building in as well as riding and controlling the trains!

Really awesome concept. This is the only train simulator that appreciates crashes with live interactions and physics. Really love what you've done so far.

My overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdCkwG8dlnc Pretty fun game, especially if you're into building train sets/models. Despite there being no tutorial it was pretty easy to figure out how everything works. I'm not the most creative person so I was glad to see that there were complete premade train tracks. You can build your own train track design and then actually get to ride it and control the train in first person. Pretty cool. I like where the game is going, hopefully a brief tutorial of some sort will be implemented down the road for newbies.

Honestly one of the best things in VR right now, and the dev keeps delivering. Worth the price for sure

I really enjoyed this Sim. Something about creating your own track layout and riding a train on it with the scaling feature is pretty cool. I recommend at least looking at the demo to see what its like.
