Google Features 3583 Bytes and the Story Behind Train Sim

We’re excited to share that 3583 Bytes has been featured by Google for Publishers in a story highlighting the journey behind Train Sim and the work that has gone into building the game over the past decade.

The article looks at how Train Sim first began as a small Unity project created by the company’s founder for his son, and how that simple idea eventually grew into a long-running mobile train simulator played by millions of people around the world.

Being featured by Google is a meaningful milestone for us. Train Sim has been developed and updated for more than ten years, and during that time the goal has always been the same: create a train simulator that is accessible, enjoyable, and easy for players to jump into while still offering plenty of freedom to explore different trains and environments.

The story also highlights the approach we have taken to supporting the game. Advertising through Google AdMob has helped us keep Train Sim free and accessible to a wide audience while continuing to invest in updates, improvements, and new features.

What started as a small personal project has grown into something much larger thanks to the players who have supported the game over the years. Seeing Train Sim recognized by Google is both exciting and a reminder of how far the game has come since its first release.

Thank you to everyone who has played Train Sim and helped make the journey possible.

Train Sim Is Now Listed on Grokipedia

Train Sim Is Now Listed on Grokipedia

We have some exciting news to share with our community. After years of building, refining, and expanding Train Sim, the game now has its own dedicated page on Grokipedia.

While we have not yet succeeded in getting Train Sim listed on Wikipedia, being recognized on Grokipedia is an important milestone for our small indie studio. It represents another step forward in the journey of a game that began as a personal project and grew into something enjoyed by players around the world.

Why This Listing Matters

Grokipedia is an emerging online knowledge platform that documents notable projects, products, and creative works. Having Train Sim included means the game now has an additional presence in the broader digital landscape.

For an independent developer, visibility matters. Discoverability matters. Recognition matters. Every listing, every mention, and every player recommendation helps extend the reach of the game and the studio behind it.

Although Wikipedia also remains a goal for the future, we are proud to see Train Sim formally documented and accessible to readers searching for information about the game.

Thank You for Being Part of the Journey

None of this would be possible without the players who downloaded the game, shared it with friends, left reviews, and supported updates over the years. Independent development is a long road, and milestones like this are worth celebrating together.

We will continue improving Train Sim, adding new content, refining performance, and building on the foundation that has brought us this far.

If you would like to take a look, you can visit the Train Sim page on Grokipedia and see how the game is now represented there.

Thank you for riding along with us.
