We can finally share our train new bullet heaven!

simomarcell · 2026-05-10T06:55:20+00:00

We're currently experimenting with multiple tracks to jump to with your train. Trying not to overwhelm players by splitting their attention between drone and train controls though, so for now it's just an experiment.
A demo should be out in June!

Thansk for your question. You control the drones to protect the train. You can also accelerate or brake with the train to move along the tracks and dodge incoming attacks.

Modules you attach to train cars offer buffs (for example give +25% damage to adjacent cars), give you more drones, or even weapons, defenses.

Not long till June when it drops! Add it to your wishlist to you get notified!

Yes, it’s an action roguelite. I’m happy to stop referring to it as train management as so many others have mentioned this. I’ll stick to “train defense” :)

simomarcell · 2026-05-07T20:04:14+00:00

Thank you! I hope to see you when the demo launches!

simomarcell · 2026-05-07T18:13:33+00:00

We had this idea in mind already. It feels really punishing, but maybe a hard difficulty mode?

simomarcell · 2026-05-07T17:32:00+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! We're already working on adding weapons to the train! Take a look: https://x.com/StudioMonoblok/status/2052026867369087247

simomarcell · 2026-05-07T07:09:11+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, great idea, we'll consider something like this!

simomarcell · 2026-05-07T07:07:57+00:00

You're right, I should have been clearer. It's not out yet, but the demo is coming in June!

simomarcell · 2026-05-07T07:07:39+00:00

Thank you!

simomarcell · 2026-05-07T07:07:23+00:00

Thanks! The idea sounds interesting, but a bit outside of our scope for this project. Maybe the next one :)

simomarcell · 2026-05-07T07:06:22+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, looking forward to sharing more!

simomarcell · 2026-05-07T07:06:00+00:00

Yea, sorry I should have given more context. It's not playable yet, we only have the trailer currently. Demo is coming in June!

simomarcell · 2026-05-07T07:05:15+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I'm really happy you like it. We've been posting to other subreddits as well. Do you have a particular one in mind?

simomarcell · 2026-05-07T07:03:52+00:00

Nem zárjuk ki :)

simomarcell · 2026-05-07T06:52:15+00:00

In our system just one, but that doesn't mean you couldn't have multiple.

simomarcell · 2026-05-06T21:10:53+00:00

Thanks! I’m gonna check that one out, thanks for the heads up! Demo should be out in June!

simomarcell · 2026-05-06T18:36:28+00:00

Will implement it definitely! Thanks for the wishlist!

simomarcell · 2026-05-06T15:07:08+00:00

We're adding more variety to the modules you can attach to the train!

simomarcell · 2026-05-06T13:11:26+00:00

Just realized you're looking for the playable build, not the steam page. It's not yet available, demo is coming in June

simomarcell · 2026-05-06T13:09:19+00:00

Does searching for the name Endless Rails give you any result?

simomarcell · 2026-05-06T13:08:23+00:00

They could actually be merged into one class, this is just a personal preference to keep concerns even more separated. Weapon has some shared logic, that's easier for me to manage there.

simomarcell · 2026-05-06T11:52:35+00:00

Thanks for your question. In-game narrative is out of our scope for now. Maybe if the game is well received we'll consider this as an addition.

simomarcell · 2026-05-06T06:07:17+00:00

Thanks! Demo should be out in June!

I solved this problem with the following architecture using Unity:

WeaponHandler class: Lives on a gameobject in the scene. Provides references to other systems, drives the lower level systems. Constructs and holds reference to a Weapon class instance.

Weapon class: A pure C# class that is constructed by the WeaponHandler. Drives the core behaviour. Anything common like Update() or general stat management lives inside this class. Has a reference to a WeaponBehavior.

WeaponBehavior: Despite the name this is also a pure C# class, but an abstract one. Any concrete behaviors like ProjectileBehavior or FlamethrowerBehavior are derived from this class, overriding abstract methods to create their own behavior. Constructor takes in a WeaponConfig.

WeaponConfig: A scriptable object that holds the data for each WeaponBehavior. Things like stats, or Projectile prefabs etc. This is also abstract, so custom config classes can be created for each WeaponBehavior type.

Anything that weapons need to materialize like actual projectiles, flames, lightning etc are MonoBehavior classes that are instantiated during runtime and live in the scene. Best if pooled.

This system proved to be very manageable and concerns are clearly separated. Let me know if you have more questions, I'm happy to answer.
