Platform & Development Software
We aim to release Railway Nomads on PC, for ease of development. Additionally, due to the intensely-cooperative nature of our game, it will be easier for players to communicate with one another whilst in-game. We would want to release it on console at a later stage, but for the time being we will remain on PC only.
Development will occur through Unity Engine and supporting coding software, such as Visual Studio Code. If this is not possible, we can just as easily produce the game using Unreal Engine 5. The reason for this decision is that both Engines are free to use.
Publisher
Ideally, Railway Nomads will be published through an online storefront such as Steam. This is to suit the increasingly-online trade of video games, as well as to minimize the costs of producing enough copies to sell in physical stores.
