Nice work Nick!  Thanks!
Just a quick question, will the user created soundpacks still be compatible with this version?

finally! gonna get it!

Hi.
I would agree that TTS would make things quicker and easier to translate, however, personally I feel that having real voices for a game increases the engagement and user enjoyment.
I listen to A TTS all day at work, for me, if I’m playing then I would prefer a real voice. Particularly if interacting with what is meant to be a real person.
So, for example, the train systems could be TTS but the radio real recordings, this would be halfway in the middle.

However, In Park Boss, which does have a mix of TTS and recorded voices, I found the TTS to limiting in terms of how I wanted to portray the game. Stylistically I’d like the user to get really immersed into the game, and TTS voices just break the paradigm in my mind.

Not using TTS in Tube Sim was a conscious decision, and one I still feel is write for what I’m trying to achieve with my games.

Doing a recording of TTS and using it like a real voice then gives you the worst mix. You’ve got all the limitations of TTS voices in terms of acting, but none of the benefits such as user preference with regards voice settings like rate.

Just my thoughts.
Nick.

Hi Nick!

Wow, that are great news. I like your games much, especially Tube Sim and Park Boss. It's great that they are still in development.

I am quite thrilled to try out the new version, there were some strange bugs in V1.0, let's find out how many of them you have fixed. :-)

By the way: If you are planning to release a german translation of the game I would be happy to help with the translation. Supporting free audio games is something of which we all Profit a lot.

Regards from Daniel!

Hello, the french version seems to have two tutorial bugs. The head lines are still in English, and the warehouse level doesn't start.
Oh! I almost forgot. I'm the french voice of that subway instructor!

what happend to the racing game

@JasonBlaze I ... did not. I assumed it was just there to report the pressure, just a status item like speed. I feel stupid now. Thank you.

Hi, Nick.
TubeSim was and continues to be a neat audiogame. Great challenge, great learning curve, great sound design and very nice controls. Only one question: How do I go back to main menu from inside the game? Pressing Escape calls to review last 10 messages, and the game window won't respond even to Control+F4. Sometimes, for example, I miss a station for a couple meters and then I really want to start it over in order to try a perfect run, right now I'm having to end application through task manager.

Thanks and congratulations.

Yes, I know, but sometimes the next station is like a couple minutes away and I just need to stop playing now. It would be nice to be able to at least close the application with control+F4.

So are used to play tubes him a lot. I very recently got a Windows 10 machine and decided to download tubes him on that. It seems though, that Windows defender is blocking the program from running the executable file with the standalone installer in the portable version. As well. In the past with my windows eight machine, I think I got around us by running the program as an administrator. How do I do that on a Windows 10 machine? What other steps should I try? I’m just getting used to windows 10 so any help would be greatly appreciate it.
