Press release:
Berlin, Germany – December 12th, 2023.
The Berlin-based (Germany) indie games developer Prismatika and Utrecht-based (the Netherlands) indie games developer Galaxy Grove, are today very happy and proud to announce that they have just released the “Photo Mode” update for their relaxing minimalist railroad sim “Station to Station (the said update is available right now for PC via Steam).

Dust off your in-game photography skills with today’s much-requested addition of Photo Mode to Station to Station, PRISMATIKA and Galaxy Grove’s award-winning serene and picturesque railway simulator. The new 1.2 Photo Mode winter update also includes a full revamp of the Custom Mode, providing wannabe managers a full suite of intuitive options to create their dream rail network

The 1.2 update includes 4 new levels spread over the existing regions already available in the critically-acclaimed game (such as lushly forested Greendale, idyllic Sunforge Sands or the wild west of Nugget Creek). Perfect for those looking to experience bite-sized gaming trips rather than a cross-country extravaganza! This is just the latest in a series of updates planned, with even more content and exciting new features to be added during 2024 and beyond!

In Photo Mode, snap happy train fans can select from a variety of options to capture the perfect pic:

Zoom, Focus Distance, and Blur Strength, with an option for automatic depth of field.

Pick Focus Option.

Hide the Interface Option

Stop/Pause All Trains Option

“Follow Train” Mode with the ‘cabin view’ option

There are a wide array of new features for the revamped Custom Mode, which is now split into 4 main categories. Here are some of our favorites:

LEVEL – you can change the Shape (from Ultra Wide to Ultra Narrow).

INDUSTRY – choose from universities and farming, as well as change the journey distance from Short (easy) to Very Long (hardest).

GRAPHICS – alter the Biome, the Lighting (from Sunny to Night) or even choose how many animals you want.

RAILROADS – change the Cost, as well as the Curve (Very Steep to Very Shallow) and Slope of your tracks.

PLUS… even more customisable settings to play with!

About Station to Station

Unwind and embark on a leisurely train ride through 7 meticulously crafted regions, each filled with unique flora and fauna, from dry desert sands to untamed mountain terrain, all while juggling the demands of train logistics. For those engineers who love more of a train-teaser, each level offers puzzle elements with optional challenges, stack bonuses and unique mechanics throughout the regions.
