This indicator tracks the public launch of the full version, not the first demo.
New technology, recovered experience
The project is being built from the ground up in a modern version of Unity. We are creating new game systems, a new rendering setup, an asset pipeline and most assets. This is not a port or a quick update of an old game, but a clean technical foundation designed for current hardware and long-term maintenance.
What was recovered
We have all original projects, project files, models, train sets, textures, most sounds, layouts and other reference material. They preserve proportions, logic and details, so the new work does not begin with a blank page.
Why the old models cannot simply be dropped into the new game
Most original models were made in SketchUp. Their geometry and topology are not prepared for modern real-time rendering or LOD workflows, their materials and UVs belong to an older pipeline, and baked lighting produced artefacts. Modern mobile-to-PC scaling, PBR materials, lighting, normal, height and metallic maps therefore require the assets to be rebuilt and optimised.
How the route and environment are built
The current technical foundation is designed so that the same route geometry can drive both infrastructure generation and later train movement.
- The environment and its models are created in Blender.
- The game and its operating systems are developed in Unity.
- Track infrastructure is generated in Unity from a spline / curve.
- The same route geometry will then form the basis for train movement.
- The system accounts for realistic curves, gradients and descents.

Subway Simulator: Prague – our first look directly from Unity
The new simulator now has a name. For the first time, we are showing Kačerov directly in Unity, together with new materials, lighting and a track system generated along the actual route. This is still an early development build without most of the final detail assets.

The first station of the new simulator is taking shape
Work on the first in-game environment is now underway. We are sharing an early look at the station geometry and explaining why the original models serve as references while the environment itself is being rebuilt.

Yes. The environment is created in Blender and the game in Unity. Track infrastructure is generated from a spline / curve; the same geometry will drive train movement and supports realistic curves, gradients and descents.
Original models, textures, sounds and layouts mainly serve as blueprints and references. They are generally not dropped straight into the new game, and most final assets are rebuilt.
Their geometry and topology are unsuitable for modern real-time rendering and LOD, their UVs and materials belong to an older pipeline, and their lightmaps showed artefacts. They also lack preparation for today's PBR, normal, height and metallic maps and performance scaling.
It is a manually updated estimate of progress towards the public launch of the full version, not a precise measure of code volume or progress towards the first demo.
It follows the path from interest validation and pre-production through the first public previews to the long-term goal of a full public release.
The first public showreel is a planned roadmap step. Its displayed period is indicative, not a committed deadline.
A first limited playable demonstration appears on the roadmap after the showreel. Its timing may change with development.
No. The roadmap is the current plan rather than a release-date promise; no binding date has been announced.
Yes. The game is set in Prague and primarily targets Android and iOS, with a PC version planned later. The exact route scope has not yet been announced.
