Why decide to join Games In Development on GOG?
Bounty Train is a complex game. Your character will be an engine driver, a train engineer, a fighter, a trader, and an investigator, probably all at once. This complexity requires a wide variety of game mechanics from different game genres, such as train simulators, real-time strategy games, business simulations and RPGs. It is difficult to create such a complex game from scratch, so we decided to do it step by step. In cooperation with our passionate players we hope to make Bounty Train an enjoyable experience.
Approximately how long will Bounty Train be in early access?
There's no exact date yet, so we will keep the community updated and we'll try to make it happen as soon as possible.

We want to be as close as possible to our players and chat with the community in forums and mailing lists or via polls.
