Are you a kid that wants to play with model trains?

Are you an adult that misses playing with your model trains as a kid?

Are you an adult that missed out on playing with model trains as a kid?

Are you an adult with a kid that wants to play with model trains?

Are you just an adult that wants to play with model trains?

Are you a person of any age/race/gender that wants to play with model trains?

If you answered yes to any of the above, do I have news for you because Locomancer lets you PLAY WITH AND RIDE MODEL TRAINS!

(Also if you answered no to all of the above, come on, we all know you're lying to yourself and everyone you love. Take a break from the wave shooters and play with some trains.)

Locomancer is a toy box style model train simulator for touch enabled SteamVR headsets. It allows you to build layouts of varying complexity and even defy what is physically possible in fake virtual reality (reality).

Featuring:

Multiple locomotives including steam and diesel engines

A variety of rail cars including a fully functional cannon car

Straight track, curved track, inclined track, loop de loops, and more!

Various pieces of scenery to add detail your layouts

Plus, with support for custom scenery, you can bring models created by yourself or the community into the game for even further customization (Steam Workshop support coming soon). The possibilities are nearly endless*!

Fully embracing the physicality of touch enabled virtual reality you are legally required to build layouts piece by piece, tree by tree. Then, once complete you must remotely operate your trains with a replica DC control panel or hop in the cab of any of the available locomotives and drive them with physical levers, knobs, and dials! They even burst in to flames when they crash, you can't say that about your real model trains can you?

Oh...you can? I'd get that checked out if I were you.

So what are you waiting for? Become The Locomancer!

Yes, you are the Locomancer. Was that not clear? It's like a train wizard. You're like the babe with the power, but instead of voodoo it's train magic. Also, there's no magic dance, but you can still dance to twenty-six minutes of sweet big band jazz by Nathan Boler if you want to.

*The possibilities are totally endful, but there's still a lot you can do.

    Looks good , have played with the provided sets but cant figure out how to make the trains go or how to save. Probably in the demo. But too tited to look now.

    My overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdCkwG8dlnc Pretty fun game, especially if you're into building train sets/models. Despite there being no tutorial it was pretty easy to figure out how everything works. I'm not the most creative person so I was glad to see that there were complete premade train tracks. You can build your own train track design and then actually get to ride it and control the train in first person. Pretty cool. I like where the game is going, hopefully a brief tutorial of some sort will be implemented down the road for newbies.

    This game is great! I enjoy building a model train set and being able to change the scale that I'm building in as well as riding and controlling the trains!

    Really awesome concept. This is the only train simulator that appreciates crashes with live interactions and physics. Really love what you've done so far.

    First things first, the Guy/Girl developing this is amazing. Incredibly active and responsive to the communities feedback. This is my most played VR title. If you are into trains, or explosions, buy this game.

    I really enjoyed this Sim. Something about creating your own track layout and riding a train on it with the scaling feature is pretty cool. I recommend at least looking at the demo to see what its like.

    My son suckered me into buying this. I Sent him home to bed early and played 2.6 hours on my first try. If you liked trains as a child and loved the idea of having a very large track layout in a room, then this is for you. At first, the control scheme is a pain, the tutorial needs real help, and I didn't look for a tutorial either or notes on how to use this simluator. As far as it goes, the trigger is important on the controls: Holding Trigger grabs objects and if you grabbed a table and while the control illuminates red, hit the trackpad once to unlock and move then press tracks again while holding trigger and table to snap tables in place and on the floor. (its a pain at first but feels very natural after getting the controller scheme figured out.) Holding Trigger to an object and while gripping the controller at the same time deletes objects including table (it turns red and brightens to max and deletes). Holding trigger forms finger to press buttons on virtual controls and virtual drawer. gripp one controller in air to move height or direction by moving your arm. grip 2 controllers at the same time and swing your arms around side to side to rotate room. lots of wierd combination but once you figure out what these do during gameplay, you then realise it is one overlooked piece of simulation that needs your attention. After figuring out controller scheme, it feels very natural. Another trick. Holding a piece of pavement and over a table with trigger hold, while holding trigger, I hit the track pad and sprinkle the pavement on the table like parmesan cheese on spaghetti. So cool. Right now, I'm trying to figure out how to divert my son's attention so I can add more hours into this simulator. I ended up really liking it.

    Out of all the VR games out there this is one of my favorites, the snapping can be a pain sometimes to get used too but once you do, it really is amazing. Ive spent many hours relaxing and poutting tons of detail into layouts, so much sop i normally lag the game into reprojection. Unlike other VR games with not much real application, or another wave shooter, this one really sucks anyone in. If you are like me go and buy this game right now, and you will get the full v alue out of this game.

    I've tried playing this in both demo and full mode. I'm an Oculus user btw, so maybe that makes a difference. I can't get the controls to work reliably, really just not at all. The first thing I noticed is that once you get a new table it doesn't drop to the floor and cannot be adjusted. The only option I found was "clear the room". It looked like people were doing well with it on YouTube so I took a chance and got the full version. At that point I started having problems with my touch controllers being intermittent then freezing completely. I can't recommend this game for Oculus users.

    One day I said to myself, "I wonder if there's a VR model train game?" Did a quick Google search and came across this awesome treasure, and it's everything you expect in a VR model train game. There are still a couple of bugs and some room for improvement, but this game is at a great place right now and can only get better. While there is not a fleshed out tutorial at this time, once you read the quick start guide in the forums, the controls are pretty intuitive. There is a solid foundation in the game physics, though I believe it could use some minor tweaking. The dev seems pretty active in continually pushing out improvements and bug fixes. In my first single day of owning the full version, I've already sunk around 5 hours into this game, and I won't be slowing down any time soon.

    I play with Oculus Touch. It is impossible to move around towards the table to make anything. Always facing the wall. Totally frustrating.

    I can't get this game working with my Vive setup which has no issues in other games, tried again to see if the game is working any better but both my controllers were behaving like I was having a seizure, I couldn't get the toolbox off my hand and the best I managed was to place a table at 45 degrees before my character flew through the roof and couldn't return.
