#City bus simulator munich start bus simulator#
Gil Salvado: The detailed recreation of Germany’s capital city of Berlin in The Bus is similar to what we - TML-Studios and AeroSoft - have worked on together in City Bus Simulator New York and City Bus Simulator Munich, although this time we cover a significantly larger area, more sights, districts and especially more bus lines. Having worked on previous sim games referencing real-life locations, how would you say The Bus goes beyond projects that TML-Studios and AeroSoft have previously worked on? This is billed as your “next generation of city bus driving simulation” featuring a 1:1 scale recreation of Berlin, Germany as its gameplay ground.
Shacknews: Let’s start about the most prominent feature of The Bus. Product Manager Gil Salvado was more than happy to oblige our questions. With that in mind, we caught up to the developers at TML-Studios to talk about the game, what it was like to recreate Berlin at scale in the game, and what content players can expect as the game rolls through early access. It’s heading into early access on Steam as of March 25, 2021, and with it comes a robust solo experience, ticketing, multiple bus lines, weather, day, and night cycles, and so much more both now and on the way.
The Bus is easily AeroSoft and TML-Studios’ largest scale effort to date in their overall creative partnership. Now, they’re getting ready to launch another title, an ambitious step up in the form of The Bus, which features a 1:1 ratio build of Berlin, Germany and its bus lines for the game’s playground. They’ve overseen the launch of a number of previous titles bringing the calming, yet busy world of commercial bus driving to players in various experiences spanning regions across the world.
AeroSoft and TML-Studios have been in the driving simulation genre for a very long time.
