21.0.3
2023-10-05
The most track-tacular, biggest update ever!
Introducing the Platinum Express! The new Platinum Tracks are twice as fast as old wooden ones, and they've got the freedom to go anywhere - bridge over water, tunnel through mountains, plough across plains... you name it, they'll take you there. They're so shiny, you'll need sunglasses just to look at them!
We're also rolling out a new levelling system, called ""Rail Repute"". The more you play, the better your reputation gets, and the better your tiles become. It's like a frequent flyer program, but for Train Conductors!
Add three new stops on your Euro tour: Rome, Meteora, and Cappadocia. We're going so far east, we're practically in Asia!
With Platinum tiles you can unlock a 9th cargo slot in your ports! More cargo, more coins, more cha-ching! And we've added a new port in Bucharest. Because, why not?
Here's the express summary of Update #21:
- Platinum Tracks: They're fast, they're shiny, they're smashing through the mountains!
- Rail Repute: Play more, get better tiles. Simple!
- New cities: Rome, Meteora, and Cappadocia. Pack your bags!
- Port upgrades: More cargo slots, more coins, and a new port in Bucharest.
+ 21.0.3 is a day one patch for Version 21.
Update now and let's get this train a-rollin'!

+ Find out the colour of an incoming train ahead of time! Warning lights now flash the colour of the incoming train.
+ New numbering system for updates. We dropped the preceding '1.' that was superfluous and now it's clearer that we're up to the 16th major update of the game since March 2016. Many more to come!
+ Undo flashes only when you're about to lose something important, either a 'One Chance Only' objective, or lose a container.
+ Never accidentally dismiss a container again when you should have pressed 'Undo' - PHEW. If you've got a container at risk in the Undo screen the X will flash.
+ iPad Pro 3rd Gen defaults to highest possible graphic quality.
+ Showing 'Best Ever' attempt at unlocking higher difficulties.
+ Refined Star and Cargo pages on the Score Screen.
+ XP bar starts at 0 coins by default.

+ Map button flashes if you've got a container coming your way!
+ Tile shop appears after connecting Rotterdam now. First Special Offer after Amsterdam. Undo crashes is available from the same point.
+ Revised the tiles that new players get during the first tutorial, and more tutorial revisions cause we can't seem to leave the early tutorials alone.
Plus all the features introduced in previous 1.16 updates:
- Customise your Dark Theme settings. Go Dark sometimes, always, on a schedule, when your system does, or roll with the game’s natural flow.
- More control over cloud saving.
- Reset the game and start again (only if you really really want to).

Bug fixing update right here! We fixed, mended and squished until we were all tweaked out.
- Fixed an issue where you could get stuck if you hurried a train on the map during a tutorial.
- Fixed an issue with Parental purchases not coming thru to the kids device in certain situations. Nice parents. Naughty bug.
- Fixed an issue with stars not appearing on trains after a cloud sync to a new device.

- Fixed an issue where an earnt (earned?) container could get lost.
- Fixed an issue where the tutorial could give you a different set of tiles.
- Fixed a rare but possible crash in early rounds. It wouldn't have been your fault. It was ours. They all are.

1.16.1
2019-11-07
Hot-fix for 1.16: the game would crash if your device name or Game Center username included an emoji.
1.16 Update:
We've significantly overhauled our underlying technology for data management and cloud saving. This work provides a better foundation for future updates and all the excellent new features in the coming years! However, for many of you, it will be an invisible update.
+ You can now restart the game and play from the start all over again! Not for the faint of heart; all progress and tile purchases are lost forever. To reset: delete the game on every device you use and reinstall, then select 'Start New Game' on the new welcome screen. At some later point, the game will find your old Save-Game on the cloud and ask if you want to merge the new Save-Game with the former Save-Game? Don't merge, instead discard the other Save-Game and keep the new one. After this screen, you can safely reinstall on other devices and choose 'Load Game'. Yes, it takes a few steps and is a little convoluted, but it's an intentional design choice so that it never happens accidentally!
+ Completely overhauled the cloud saving features of the game. You can now play on multiple devices, and your progress reliably moves between them.
+ Translated the game for Korean players! We sat down with a Korean player and translated by hand, line-by-line.
+ Made tiles more distinctly coloured so that there's less confusion about which one you received.
+ Added Game Center sign-in status to the settings screen.
+ Selecting the correct track in Bruges is easier.
+ More improvements for portrait view.
+ Tweaked the early tutorials, again.
+ Fixed a couple localisation issues.
+ Fixed a few blurry fonts on iPad Pro 3rd gen.
+ Fixed a couple colour palette issues since Dark Mode was introduced.
+ Fixed tracks in Amsterdam, Bernina, Belfast, Matterhorn, Bruges, Verdon.
+ Fixed the issue where a cloud restore could mistakenly enable the 'Oops I'll clean that up for you' state.

2019-09-14
New night graphics for 'Dark Mode' + iPad OS 'Split-View' and 'Slide Over'.
Train Conductor has always had a full day / night schedule, as you are well aware I'm sure. With the introduction of system-wide Dark Mode in iOS 13 we have given the world a completely re-imagined night time aesthetic, one that lets the colourful sharp details stand out, but be easy on the eyes and just as fun to play, all while maintaining the gorgeous look of the game. It has been no easy feet, and the results are one we are very proud of.
Trains shine their headlights to light the way. The cover of night casts a gorgeous blue hue across the game making it easy on the eyes whenever you play. The entire user interface and set of menus has received a separate palette of colours for night. Now you might think that's a lot of changes, and it is, but we haven't changed the beloved five hour day / night cycle Train Conductor has always had. What has changed is that you can now keep the night party alive as long as you like by activating the system-level Dark Mode, which casts a night shade across the world of Train Conductor for as long as you like.
Now, finally you can now build your ultimate railway by day, or night!
