Connect with the community

@bitshift we have been working hard on developing Trains & Things. We are wanting to open up our development to you, the public, so that you can stay in the loop and contribute. We want to form a community around our game, we want you to take what we make and modify it, add to it, have input in to it.

So, follow us on Twitter or Facebook where we are currently posting monthly blogs. Or join us on our matrix channel #bitshift:matrix.org.

Looking Forward 

Towards the end of this year we are looking to do a Kickstarter to allow us to commit more time and resources in to this project. We would love you to stick around and join us on this journey and be a part of something great.

Head on over to our website to find out more bit-shift.io, or connect with us through social media.

While you wait

While we are still a fair way out on the development cycle, take the time to check out our previous game Dog Fight. A multiplayer focused arcade game based on the old Apple II game Dogfight. Built on the UE4 engine and available now on Steam.

Then we have been stuck waiting for Godot 4.0 (in particular GDScript 2.0) to become stable enough to use. As a result, we have decided to open up all our repositories to the public so that they might be able to finish what we likely cannot. Although we will possibly tinker on our projects from time to time we simply do not have the time we once had. The easiest way to find the repositories is to head to our website: http://bitshift.rf.gd/ Down in the footer you will see a link to GitHub and GitLab which will take you to view all the bitshift repositories. Our bigger repos are stored
