Overall I've been loving the game though there are definitely a few bugs to work out. Thought I'd throw together a few things I'd love to see I future updates. More characters: I don't just mean more locos but characters around the map you can spot while traveling like Terrance in a field, Trevor and George doing work, Harold and Tiger moth flying around and stuff like the Horrid lorrys and butch. Also the humans, Mrs Kindly at her house would be a perfect example Radio: some sort of music system you can play in the cab or just through the player. It would contain songs from the show from model era all the way to CGI and if they were really smart it could double up as collectable to find throughout the map. Example would be maybe a radio at the windmill from the opening that gives you the opening song. Interactive Easter eggs: was a tad disappointed when I found the old ferry barge on the way to Farquhar and it did nothing. Would be cool if you took Thomas to it and it recreated the scene. Or the bowler hat at tidmouth flew away when you got near it. Little things like that. Train builder: rather than the preset trains, add some way to design your own train to just spawn in rather than building every time. Or make it so you can save a train after you've spent the time building it manually. Looking forward to seeing what else you guys bring, this game has so much potential
I second all of the above I would also like to see a way you could save you what you have spawned in Explore mode, maybe something you can toggle in options or something?
Just some, what I call "quality of life" improvements. Like check points through the story or missions that you're doing so you don't have to start the entire mission from scratch of you derail or fail. If not, then the ability to quicksave. As well as a timed auto save while play on explore and/or quicksave because as I see it, explore is pretty much freeroam, so you shouldn't have to restart the whole session when you derail etc. The option to skip cutscenes as well. These additions would greatly improve the quality of the gameplay and would probably earn the game even greater ratings and reviews.
I'd like if the AI trains reacted to the whistle boards like some of the TSW DLC routes. It would be a nice touch.
