ProRail Game finished!

Published on 07/01/202104/06/2022

In the past year we’ve been busy developing a future simulation game for ProRail. Virtual Play created an interactive 3D world that shows how your city will develop to the year 2050, based on the decisions you make for the railways. The game is finished and we’re proud of the result!

An extra special detail: the world is procedurally generated, so it’s different with each play session. Our traffic system will ensure that all your vehicles – whether contemporary or futuristic ones – stick to the traffic rules.
