I got the inspiration for this post from a Twitter post I saw yesterday. It basically asked how everyone feels about the game since the honeymoon and hype has cooled down. I thought it was a good idea and I want to know how you guys feel about the game.

I’ve said how I felt about the game more times than I can count so I won’t say much. But what I can’t say is that the game certainly has a lot of room for improvement and so much potential. A lot of people like the game for what it is and that’s perfectly fine, but others if not most have said that the game was too rushed, and the execution felt a little flimsy which I agree with.

But enough about me. What do you guys think?

I got the inspiration for this post from a tweet I saw yesterday. Why wonders if Sodor is still fresh in the minds of fans, the hype that it once have around the time it was first released seems to have settled down for now. With everything that we know, how do you guys feel about the game so far?

I think I’ve said how I felt more times than I can count so I just want to know how you guys feel. All I can say is that I am happy this game exist, but it leaves a whole lot to be desired. Some people like it for what it is while others if not, most are disappointed with the result and felt it was rushed, which I do agree with.

But yeah, what do you guys think?

I feel like Dovetail should do what Rockstar did for GTA5. In GTA5, while you were walking around and explore mode, they made the cars and people walking around in the background minding their own business and doing their thing and that's what made Los Santos busy. I feel like for Wonders of Sodor, Dovetails could find a way to make AI running sessions for other engines in the background so that the railway feels busy. They actually do this in story mode and timetable mode, but I wished I could explore mode. We could have the same experience because it really does feel dead without any other engines running up and down, and there's only one engine you could control.  

While speaking on GTA5 factors, I feel like they could add a cinematic camera mode for people who want to see the engines run through a movie lens, but that's just me. 

I know that we are a month in to this beautiful game so it may seem a little too soon to ask such a question. I also know that I may be perceived as annoying, dramatic, or entitled, but I don’t care. This is the Internet. We can feel free to say how we feel.

I’m pretty sure this post will come as a shock to no one but we really do need more characters and more locations. Like it’s not even a suggestion at this point, it’s an order almost. Yeah that sounds pretty bratty of me to say, but this is a Thomas fandom and the franchise is famous for wide variety of engines. I don’t know dovetails as much as anyone else does, but I feel like the fact that we’re not getting any Intel on when we’re getting updates Kind of leaves us feeling pretty confused if we’re getting our money paid off well. You know it’s crazy when Roblox and Trainz has more engines and locations than Wonders of Sodor at this moment. I mean, the steep price of this game is understandable for its graphics, but if we’re not getting a lot of locations and only a measly six engines, it can come across as if some people are wasting their money.

There are some people who have actually stopped playing the game altogether and move onto something else which is of course perfect but it kind of adds volume to how little the game is offering to us at the moment. Other people Who really want to play this game have either not stalled it at all or uninstalled it. Mind you these are the type of people that I hear. I’m not speaking for the general audience.

This is my first time actually playing the dovetails game, but from what I can tell, Dovetails is very, very subtle and discreet about their announcements. Not even a little teaser or a peak, Which can add up to a little bit of suspense or it could leave us up in the air about how this game will turn out. Which brings me to my other point: I fear that if This game doesn’t really announce something soon and wait till later this game would flop. I can’t really speak for marketing or other people, but I feel like people wouldn’t want to wait excruciatingly long months or a year.

With so many suggestions and a patch being released recently, I feel like the tales has plenty of room To make a plethora of new content. I will never be the type of person to tell a person or a company how to do their job, but the success of Wonders of Sodor relies on Dovetails.

Yes, I know that patient is a virtue, but I don’t think it would hurt to want to know about a specific timeline so we can get and prepared for what is ready to offer.

What do you guys think? *sigh* I can smell the downvotes Lmao
