Hi everyone! I'm Dmitri, I'm the new Trains Community Manager here at Dovetail Games, following Luke's move to new ventures. I will be looking after the forums and I am also one of the lucky people who gets to appear in front of camera on livestreams along with Matt and Adam. These forums will be just one of the places to meet me, as I mentioned you will see me on livestreams which we really want to have more often. We will also go on with our regular community activities such as screenshot competitions, adding new things as we move forward. We are playing with a lot of ideas so stay tuned. I think it's important for you to know that my background is not in trains, so please give me your support and expertise as I adjust to trains. I will do my best to get to know all of you in the coming months, and to kick things off I would like to announce that we will be running our next TSW livestream on Friday, 18th January, so come along to say hi! Details will follow. Looking forward to meeting you on the forums and in our streams very soon!
Welcome Dmitri looking forward to what's to come and meeting you on livestreams. I volunteer on a steam railway so need any help give me a shout
Welcome! I'm sure you been warned Community Managers need a thick skin so I hope you'll cope. Out of interest what is your background?
Thanks for the welcome SamYeager270. I can assure you that my background is in gaming and community management. Will take some time to adjust to trains, but I am thoroughly enjoying the process so far
Glad to have you and looking forward to these planned changes for greater community involvement and feedback. Hope you had a happy holiday season. Catch you on the live stream!
Welcome onboard Dmitri! Do you have some new vision/project as new community manager? Similar as Luke set the TSW: Studio Update's and Weakly Screenshot Contest that you mention to continue with.
Thanks again everyone for the welcome. Thanks Matto140. I don't have anything for you on that right now as I'm still settling in, but as I mentioned, we will continue with screenshot competitions and livestreams. Prioritising my time as I learn about your community is the main goal right now.
Hi Pennine, What happens exactly when you try to purchase it and are you logged into your Sony account? https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP2866-CUSA10019_00-TSWORLDBRCLASS33
It will show as unavailable if you don't own WSR so please ensure you're logged into your PSN account tied to your purchase of the game.
Fully free find your way, observe community and balance the relations between developers and player. I'm sure you find something new for community later, at the beginning is hard to set some new vision, especially for newcomer. Will you actively drive durring livestream ? Best wishes...
Hi Matto140, thanks for the welcome and for your wishes. Since this will be our first livestream, it's possible that equal driving time will be allocated to both of us, as I'm sure there will be plenty of questions that I will have to answer. We came up with a small program for our livestream, so will see how it goes.
Dmitri, glad to see you in the forums, I had taken an hiatus from these forums for a few months because of the increasing toxicity of many of the discussions and constant negativism of a few. Hopefully with your involvement and the freer flow of information will return the forums into a useful avenue once again.
Spend enough time here and playing TSW2020 and TS2020 and i'm sure you'll learn a few usefull bits of data and some data on trains.
