For almost 7 years, we have been dedicated to developing exciting and technically accurate simulation games. During this time, we have celebrated some incredible milestones and we have grown in many ways.

We are very pleased to announce that we are now incorporating our passion for excellent simulators into our name. From now on, HR Innoways will be known as Simuverse Interactive.

Starting today, we will release all our games under this new name, and our existing products will gradually be rebranded to reflect the new brand.

Despite this change, the same team remains behind the company, and our mission to create top-notch simulation games also remains unchanged.

This brings us to the next question many of you have been asking:

When is the next update coming?

Don't worry, we are still working on the next update in the background. However, some functions have a significant impact on the game logic (especially the new timetable layer that comes with the announced construction site). Therefore, we have to ask for a bit more patience – as mentioned before, we are working on it in the background.

In the somewhat distant future, the AL1 will also be coming, and who knows what else might follow ;)

Cheers to a promising future!

We would like to thank you all for the exciting weeks since the release of the MEGA update. Your positive feedback has motivated us to continue developing the product, and today we have some news to share!

In the near future, the next update will be released. With this update, we will introduce the U3 line closure between Kellinghusenstraße and Barmbek into the game. This way, you can experience the operation as it currently is in Hamburg.

Furthermore, there are several other improvements based on your feedback, including an updated vehicle physics system that is now much closer to the original. We have also fixed some bugs in the game.

On the roadmap, you can see our plans for SubwaySim Hamburg for the coming months. Next up is the battery locomotive AL1 - more information about this will be available soon. And who knows what else the future might bring?

We look forward to an exciting time with you!

In celebration of our anniversary, we proudly unveil the SubwaySim MEGA Update for all SubwaySim players, and thereby festively end the MEGA update's publicbeta phase!

The MEGA Update introduces the highly anticipated Scenario Mode, which comes with 6 captivating missions, along with the addition of the DT5.1 as a new vehicle for the HOCHBAHN's fleet.
With dozens of new features as well as massive bugfixes and improvement, we celebrate SubwaySim Hamburg's first birthday at the highest level!

More than 70 % of the game's source code was rewritten from scratch to facilitate this update. However, this huge milestone wouldn't have been possible without your invaluable feedback and the valuable input of our beta testers. Thank you for your support on this challenging, but exciting journey!

Note: If you are experiencing problems, we'd like to ask you to share them in the #en-support section of our Discord server (see https://discord.gg/aWG2k6VPbQ). If you don't have a Discord account, please use the Steam Discussions section instead. Thanks a lot!

Enjoy the MEGA update - we're looking forward to your feedback. Happy Anniversary!

Just in time for the Easter weekend, we have prepared a very special surprise for you. Finally, you've waited for long enough, and we can proudly present the SubwaySim MEGA update in PUBLICBETA!

With more than 70% newly developed source code and more than 1,500 internal versions since the last public release, months of hard work and an incredible amount of passion have gone into the SubwaySim MEGA update. Almost all of the game's systems have been redeveloped from scratch to offer you the best possible experience in SubwaySim.

In the next few days, we will continue publishing highlights from the MEGA update - and until then you can try them yourself ingame! For that, you'll need to subscribe to the publicbeta branch.

Note: This is a beta version which may contain bugs and issues. If you are experiencing problems, we'd like to ask you to share them in the #en-support section of our Discord server (see https://discord.gg/aWG2k6VPbQ).

Enjoy the MEGA update - we're looking forward to your feedback. Happy Easter!

Your HR Innoways Team

Today we are announcing another long-awaited feature. Many of you have requested it - and now it's part of SubwaySim Hamburg. We're talking about no other feature than the DT5's destination display!

Similarly to the information displays on the platform, we have now redeveloped the train destination displays from scratch, among many other things in the game. This means that we now use fonts which are perfectly true to the original. Finally, the DT5 matrix does look exactly as you know it from reality.

As with the information displays on the platform, the train's destination is also displayed in as much width as possible on the screen. For the platform info displays, this means that the character spacing is adjusted in order to utilise the entire display width.

For the DT5 it's not as easy as that! Here, we don't just have different character spacings but a total of 5 different fonts with various widths, heights and font thicknesses. Of course, the line label itself also has its very own font, resulting in 6 fonts with around 380 characters in total. Each of them has been traced by hand. Take a closer look: The widest font version is used for "Barmbek" as in the picture at the top. In contrast, the font for "Bitte nicht einsteigen" ("Do not enter", see second image) is much narrower. And the destination "Wandsbek-Gartenstadt", which we will show you another time, uses the narrowest of all fonts.

By the way: You can also use the DT5's Driver Machine Interface (DMI) on the right-hand cab screen to enter any station as destination. You can choose any of Hamburg's stations - no matter whether from the U3 or from another underground line. There's also a list of around 10 special destinations such as "Probefahrt" ("Test drive"), "Fahrschule" ("Driving school"), "Jazztrain" or "www.hochbahn.de". Oh, and one more thing: The train destination display now actually has an effect on passengers! While you can continue travelling on the "Jazztrain" with passengers hopping on and off, they will not board a driving school train.

It won't take too long until you'll be able to try all of these features in the upcoming SubwaySim MEGA update.

Everything you need to know about the MEGA Update!

Soon we will be releasing a MEGA update that will include fundamental changes to the game, with approximately 70% of all gameplay-related code being rebuilt from scratch. We've rewritten all the game's core systems from the ground to provide you with the best possible experience.

We are still progressing quite well regarding the MEGA update's development and we hope to be able to launch a public beta phase rather soon. Stay tuned - we'll keep you updated!
