I'm now up to having 10 standard-scenarios completed. The scenarios will be presented in sequential numbers preceding the name, so if a User wants to play through the scenarios in order (though they can choose to play any scenario in any order they choose), then it's a good way to be introduced to the various locations and activities involved with the KAHD route, as well the Seasons will be changing in order as well. So the earlier scenarios begin in Summer, then as the scenarios progress the seasons will go through Autumn, Winter, Spring, back to Summer and so on.
In this way I`m hoping to offer a good variety of activities, seasons (in which the trees,foliage and landscapes can change how they appear accordingly), time of day (or night), weather conditions, and of course a variety of trains to drive.
This time around, with most of the scenarios I'm trying to feature different engines and rolling-stock that's used, on a per-scenario basis, to be a certain theme (or region). So, in one scenario you may see all North-American based trains, another scenario you'll see all UK style trains, and other scenarios will be featuring German based trains. Of course as my route and scenarios are "fictional-based" and oft-times non-prototypical, I can be free to use "Artistic Freedom" and may perhaps also have some scenarios that could make use of a mix of trains and rolling-stock as well.
In the end, regardless of what trains I decide to use in the scenarios I make, I'll try my best to make them immersive, interesting, functional and fun.
Below are some screenshots from one of the new scenarios featuring a "Christmas Eve" Express Passenger Run (click on an image to view in larger size). I've been trying to making good use of some of the new TSX lighting effects on this scenario to give parts of the route a "festive Christmas" look and mood in which some areas will be lit-up in using decorative traditional Christmas green & red colors.
It's Christmas Eve at King's Market.
Carolers sing around the Christmas-Tree in the Market Square.
