Tower defense on rails. Wake the last war-train in a steampunk world that needs you: build your armored consist car by car, bristle it with turrets, and harvest fuel on the move as you hold the line across a vibrant frontier. Capture towns, upgrade your train, and follow a lone survivor onward.
The developer filed this on the Steam store page. It is not a guess by active.games.
Train Trek uses generative AI in two ways. During development we used AI tools to help make some assets: the user-interface art (HUD and menu icons, menu artwork, frames, button plates, mouse cursors), the instrumental soundtrack, and some sound effects. All of it was chosen, edited and finished by hand before it shipped. The 3D models are built procedurally by our own scripts, and the design, world generation and balancing are authored by hand. Parts of the source code were written with an AI coding assistant, reviewed and tested by the developer. While you play, the game speaks using a text-to-speech model that ships inside the game and runs entirely on your own computer. It voices tutorial guidance, hints and menu narration instead of pre-recorded audio. It needs no internet connection, sends nothing anywhere, and never records or listens to you. It only reads lines we wrote and shipped with the game - it does not invent dialogue.

Your companions learned to make faces (opens in new tab)
Pioneers, your companions have always talked with their whole face. This update gives them a lot more face to talk with. We also added achievements, and we cut your fleet down to one train.

Your companions got guns. VR got hands. The train got new decks. (opens in new tab)
Pioneers, this one's a five-for-one. Virtual reality, the controls, your companions, the insides of your train and the music all got some serious attention. Here's what changed. VR, now with a body We put on a headset, looked down, and our Pioneer wasn't there. That's fixed. Your head and hands are attached to your Pioneer now, and your arms reach wherever…

We made the world beautiful and with 100% more holes. (opens in new tab)
Pioneers, two big things this time. The world looks a lot better, and now you can dig holes in it. We suspect those two are related. A new look The hexagon patterns that used to be painted over every rock are gone. Each biome wears its own kind of stone now, with cracks, nooks and crannies up close and calmer shapes in the distance. The far view got its dep…
