TRAMCITY HAKODATE

Game Setting

The game is set on the "Hakodate City Tram" in Hakodate, Hokkaido.

Players assume the role of a tram operator, transporting passengers to their destinations.

Hakodate City Tram Simulation: Officially Approved

Developed with permission from Hakodate City Tram (Department). We received tram size, appearance data, behavior, and speed limit information from Hakodate City Tram. Tram sounds were recorded using actual trams, supervised by Hakodate City Tram staff.

Focus on Sound

Tram sounds are recorded from real trams. We adopted sounds recorded while walking along the tram line and while driving alongside the tram. Under Hakodate City Tram staff supervision, we recorded sounds near the bogies, which are not possible during regular operation. The in-tram announcements use the voice of Jō Hibiki, Lemi Duncan and Naomi Ueda. For the driver's voice, we used recordings from Jō Hibiki, Takahiro Nozuki, Masumi Toyooka, Sayumi Yamamoto and Mr.M.

Attention to Scenery Along the Line

Buildings and stops along the line are individually created.

Focus on Traffic Signals

Traffic signal cycles are based on local measurements. Each game start changes the cycle start time, altering driving patterns.

Developed by a Hakodate Native

The developer spent their childhood and student years in Hakodate. Familiar with the Hakodate City Tram from a young age, they deeply understand how to express its uniqueness. Breaking free from traditional railway simulator concepts, the developer tries various innovative ideas.
