    Time stamps from the video, spoilered for those who don't want to know.

    EDIT: Deleted per JDs request on the TSC Discord.

    Did anyone have the forethought to download the video before it obviously and inevitably got privated?

    Cheers

    I must agree. That and the new [edited - JD - surprise!] both look very appealing. I'm not so fussed about the others. I am concerned about the sunlight and shadows cast in the [edited - JD - surprise!]. I hope DTG is conscious of the obvious draw distance demands of this route.

    Cheers

    There was a thread a few minutes ago with some very exciting information but in between spotting it and posting a reply, it got nuked.

    Anyway, without posting anything specific, several Day 1 purchases in there if true.

    Hey folks. I know everyone's excited (we are too!). I'd respectfully ask that if you're aware of anything for Sunday, you keep it under wraps as to not spoil the surprise for others. If you do mention things, I'll be monitoring and will likely edit them, as I have above. Thank you.

    So this is now Standard Operating Procedure then?

    There is no way on this earth this happening again is accidental, literally no one can get this wrong this many times. Uploading a private video to YouTube is as easy as ticking a box, nothing more, nothing less.

    Suddenly, Edinburgh to Glasgow and all it’s problems vanish in to thin air as the hype train once again pulls out of the station. Choo flippin choo.

    Sigh :|

    The video wasn't published publicly, rather it was unlisted. The question becomes how did the unlisted video link get shared?

    Cheers

    Well, the bag is open and the cat is running around, possibly amongst some pigeons, and knocked over a tin of beans, which have spilled all over the floor, JD has slipped on the beans, and dropped the can of worms he was holding, which has now opened. He’s trying to get the cat back in the bag but it’s slippery due to the bean juice and worms are crawling up his leg. Tune in to see the video footage of this on Sunday

    Definitely not on my end, don’t get any hype for anything since the state the past 2 releases came out in, they were both quite hypey and as far as I can see status quo for releases remains…

    Of course the irony is, having seen (then forgotten) what was in the bag, I'm now in two minds whether to spend my remaining Steam credit in anything else in the sale or hold it ready for the real good stuff. I mean BCC vs. a couple of the items I didn't actually see doesn't even cut muster.

    Watch over the next few days. The number of posts about E2G will slow to an absolute trickle and it will be all about what’s coming next. It’s the same every time.

    Just speculation but I’ve been suspecting Inside job for quite some time… or at the least purposefully leaked intention

    just seems too often, pretty much every announcement like this.

    BCC is confirmed high quality. I don't much care for British routes but I picked it up in the sale for the decent discount and—especially with LM's mod—it is definitely up to your standard of quality. But in terms of variety and replayability... I'm not yet so sure. It is definitely lacking multiple trainsets. But what it does have is very good.

    Cheers

    unfortunately this seems proved after every release… doesn’t create any sense of hype for me though, all it says is I’ve missed my stop and it’s better to get off now…

    edit: Spelling Error

    Well I have a screenshot of the video chapters from Sunday which satisfies my curiosity, but I have to say I think people should be grown up enough to have a spoilered thread, that can't be accidentally read, and discuss what has been leaked.

    probably most certainly could happen, just not what the company seems to want.

    No change in plans from our side, we'll be talking about the first update to Edinburgh from Rivet during the Thursday roadmap stream, they continue to work on fixes and improvements based on feedback on the forums. If people talk about it less on the forums *shrug* doesn't change what we're doing.

    Rivet remain keen to get some good fixes out for the route and i'm looking forward to sharing their progress and release plans on Thursday.

    Matt.

    Yeah, that’s absolutely fair and I wasn’t clear enough there. Apologies. I meant more that the metaphorical dog has been thrown a biscuit and gone charging off into the woods after it.

    I appreciate what you said in the other thread about Rivet working hard on a patch. I’m looking forward to seeing what they’ve done.

    DTG JD are they going to have to get the whiteboard out again for you. I thought the lesson was learnt for the last time writing lines.

    Maybe it's not JDs fault. Although they could have at least double checked to make sure the video was private. Then this wouldn't have happened

    rather ironic part is that the videos are usually timestamped the day after preview, but the one time it hasn’t gone that way has contributed to probably one of the biggest leaks.

    Probably someone that works on media. Still remember someone accidentally published Rush Hour on the TSW webpage before it was announced. What a field day that was.

    DTG- note to self, don't leak anything
    (leak occurs)
    DTG- right now where's my notepad... ahhhh, ok new idea, we do whatever it takes to throw people of the scent and well hush people who are excited for what's coming. Oh I can just hear that cash rolling in, what happened?

    Well, I'm glad I saved my pennies for those things who's names cannot be spoken. I was pondering a couple of things in the current sale, but I think I'll hold off until the picture becomes clearer.

    Did someone say " More leaks than a cheap tent? " :D

    It's fun though, isn't it? Watching someone trying to get the toothpaste back in the tube. :D.:D.

    quite funny :cool:, but you could really set someone’s hopes too high up, so for that purpose for those who haven’t seen the leaks this isn’t in their.
