Happy Pride from Studio 346! A lot of our team is LGBTQ+ and allies who support them, and Century of Steam wouldn't be possible without their dedication. Railroading is our passion & we want to provide an informative, welcoming environment for all to enjoy it. Be safe, be loved, and be you. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

It's a big week for little trains! Friends and associates at @cosmoporiumgames.bsky.social have released A Bumpy Ride: a fun, beautifully stylized railroad game full of cartoony chaos! Be sure to check it out at store.steampowered.com/app/3056840/... as it's currently 14% off for a limited time!

An illustration for Cosmoporium Games' newly-launched title "A Bumpy Ride," featuring a tiny, adorably-proportioned 1800s steam locomotive blitzing through a stylized red rock desert scene with two passenger cars; the engineer is a daring, cavalier dog in hickory stripe railroad attire. Behind him, the train is full of passengers in various states of absolute pandemonium: a bear too shitfaced to perceive the chaos of the moment, a mallard in hysterics, a golden retriever about upchuck his morning kibble, and a bluebird showing concern for the train's cat conductor, who is holding on for dear life on the rear platform of the last car in the train. "The Big Fella," a large, spherical ursine, has been jettisoned entirely and accepts his fate.

We seek to provide an informative, safe, & welcoming community for fans of narrow gauge railroading, but twitter's rampant AI-generated CSAM and weaponized bigotry make those goals impossible there.

Studio 346 is a collection of artists, historians, & engineers joined in a common goal: to make our shared love & knowledge of railroading into a fun, meaningful experience. Since day 1, we’ve pledged never to use generative AI slop. Century of Steam always will be a game made for people, by people.

A poem on a paper background, surrounded by several roughly-drawn doodles of Rico and Dolores, Century of Steam's cartoon goat and deer mascots, respectively. The two of them are shown making various doodles and drawings of their own. The poem, in defense of human artistry against a pervasive deluge of AI slop, reads as such:

Art's an exclusively human endeavor,
Which sits at the crossroad of person and craft,
A people without craft is weary to weather,
A craft without people is soulless and daft.

To put onto canvas a thing by our hands
Comes with it a tangible part of our own,
So others may gaze at our self as it stands,
To know us and smile on what we have shown.

So long as real hands and real minds can assure,
Incredible works can be crafted and born,
Even if some hands are covered in fur,
And some minds are guarded by antler and horn.

But say I had sought out a local town baker,
To bake a confection I vaguely describe,
If I had told everyone I was the maker,
We'd all see the baker's betrayed by the lie.

So anywhere art is not crafted with care,
But stolen and churned into some unknown slurry,
Remember this warning to heed and beware,
Or else we may find ourselves lost in a hurry.

Do what you love, and love what you do,
But do it yourself, or it's not really you.
