Since building my new site from scratch involves far more effort and time than anticipated I have re-opened A-TrainHX.com until I’m ready to go live with version II.
I don’t plan to update the ‘old’ site and the forum is now closed so the link for that will not work.
I was going to add the walkthrough here as a post but decided the more logical approach would be to simply re-open so that those who want to can browse for information.
Day five of Renfro’s A-Train 8 videos. He appears to be using a map of his own creation. As usual there’s a nice change in tempo (and music) part way through.
There are now a few A-Train 8 maps for download over on the Fan Site.
Just follow the link, read the instructions and enjoy. At the moment there are just two: One from Renfro and another from me which was based on the A-Train HX map ‘Clear River and Rice Paddies’. I hope you enjoy them. It should help to extend the life of A8 for those still playing and enjoying it since I know that most people have neither the time nor patience required to get the maps made.
If you happen to make a map of your own you can email it to me (using the email address provided on the Fan Site). I’d prefer maps that have at least a little creativity to them, to be honest, since plain, flat landscapes are very easy to create.
