Mashinky puts a new twist on top of rock-solid 'Train Tycoon' gaming.
Build and manage your own transport empire in a procedural-generation worlds, offering endless possibilities in a sandbox-style gameplay. The right strategy will always be a different one!
Uniquely combining realistic graphics with old-school construction mode with rules inspired by board games, Mashinky combines the best of both worlds: eye-candy of 3D visuals and addictiveness of isometric gameplay, adding its own unique vibe in the process.
Inspired by classic games from the 90s especially by Chris Sawyer's Transport Tycoon and Sid Maier's Railroad Tycoon 2. It takes it to the next level with features such as multiplayer and endless modding possibilities, the result is a deep and challenging game made by a fan, for fans, that will make every train sim enthusiast come back for more.

After college I started working for 2K Czech and I has helped to finish the game Mafia II. And after that for another 5 years I worked on the engine for the game Mafia III, then I subsequently crossed into Bohemia Interactive, where more than a year I’m dealing with the development of new technology and graphic effects as a Senior Engine Programmer. Furthermore, since 2009 I’m working in the evenings and weekends on my own game, a strategy game Mashinky,, a spiritual successor to my favourite game Transport Tycoon (1994, Microprose).
The switch back and forth between the schematic and 3D views looks pretty cool. That bridge towards the end looked a bit wacky though. I wonder if it lacks height editing/graduated terrain?
Hmm, that perspective switching looks quite promising. TTD style building, but non-blocky results? Sign me up. I just hope the economy part of the game will be good too...
