Mashinky

Strategic simulator – Mashinky – about how you can create your own network of trains and cars that will bring you money, and in return you can upgrade them or send them on vacation when you buy new equipment. All around you are beautiful landscapes of the Czech Republic, Poland, Germany and England. The sun sets and floods the forests and fields with evening light, giving night life to the residents. The game has a well-thought-out system of day, night and time in general. The player must create a vast transport empire with few resources from the start. He will have little material, transport and a map randomly created by artificial intelligence.

You start out at the head of an incredibly small transport company that can build routes to neighboring cities, and transport residents and cargo in small quantities. You’re also given a map to explore as you chart new paths to building your empire! In order to competently and clearly follow the laws of business, you will have to develop all areas at once: laying tracks, building stations, purchasing equipment, advertising campaign. The paths to be laid will be constructed in a simple or complex way. For example, you can create a route from one station to another, or you can add intersections and traffic lights, pedestrian crossings and intersecting routes. Your vehicle will improve depending on use, but sooner or later its usefulness will end, and you will have to spend a lot on new equipment. Don’t forget to update! The game offers you to switch between three modes: management, strategy in isometric space and first-person view from the driver’s carriage. The latter is complemented by various graphic effects.

Mashinky is a business manager for passenger and freight transportation, created by Czech developers. Among its features are improved graphics and its high realism, procedurally generated locations with different ones, as well as transitions from one era to another – from steam engines to electric trains. Each launch of the game offers a new location, with its own set of objects, slopes and mountains. The player develops his transport system – from short routes to a whole network of communications, with stations, stops and routes. The more diverse they are, the greater the benefit: the money earned can be spent on improving transport and infrastructure. The project received modern graphics, and the opportunity to observe the process from any angle, including from a train carriage. All units, buildings and landscapes are drawn in great detail and high quality, making the image look very realistic. It is also worth noting the excellent soundtrack, which harmoniously fits into the format of the railway simulator.
