TCCP 2.0 automates every aspect of the Trainz payware submission process and empowers the content creator to fast-track their developments for release.

Once your content is complete, N3V Games will distribute and promote it across a range of Trainz sales outlets; in-game, Trainz Store, Steam Store, Mac App Store and more.

Earn & Enjoy

Earn monthly royalties (potentially thousands of dollars) and enjoy the extra cash coming in for doing what you love.

Increase your revenues

Make more money from your Trainz creations

Selling your content in-game and through the various Trainz online stores will add to your bottom line (possibly thousands of dollars a month). Listing your content with N3V Games is non-exclusive, so you can still sell through your own website.

How TCCP works

Create Package

Open Content Manager to create a new TCCP package for your content.

Upload Package

Upload your content to the TCCP website. The system will inform you of anything that needs to be resolved to get your package successfully uploaded.

Add Media

Once your package is uploaded, log in to the TCCP portal to add your promotional material, content description, screenshots and (optional) youtube video ready for release.

Build Package

Next, submit your content to the build queue where it will be automatically packaged ready for distribution.

Beta Testing

You're now ready to send your package out for Beta Testing. Our Trainz Beta Testers are notified that your package is ready to be claimed and you'll receive valuable feedback through our TCCP ticketing system, including test plan results, evaluation forms and reports.

Final Review

Once you've dealt with the feedback and your content is looking great then it's time to submit it for final review. The Trainz Team will evaluate the content to ensure everything is ready for publication.

Release

Once approved, your awesome content is now available to our Gold and Silver Class members and available for purchase. Your content is promoted through the Trainz Newsletter, social media, in-game, in the Trainz Store, Steam Store, Mac Appstore and other online sites.

Royalties

Now the fun part begins - receiving your monthly royalties! While you can make money from your own website (and still can), selling your content through our systems ensures you are maximising your revenues.

Become a Beta Tester today!

Help ensure Trainz DLC is as good as it can possibly be by sending your feedback directly to the content creator.

Latest Build

Currently you need a Trainz Plus or TRS19 Platinum Edition build to join in the Beta Testing. Soon, when TRS19 SP2 is released, Beta Testing will be open to all TRS19 owners.

Claim new DLC

As new items are created by the Content Creators, you'll be notified by email. Numbers are limited so claim the DLC quickly and install it ready for testing.

Test

Your role as a Beta Tester is to find bugs and give feedback through our online forms and test cases. This is an important role, and your commitment to completing the tests will help ensure the content is ready for release.

Help shape the future of Trainz content.

Testimonials from TCCP Creators

Don't take our word for it. Hear the feedback from some of our existing content creators.

I began making content for Trainz way back in 2005. As my revenues increased, it became so successful I gave up my day job to work on Trainz content creation full time. I now do what I love most and earn thousands of dollars every month. TCCP is going to make it even easier to publish all my upcoming content.

I have been a member of the Trainz Content Creation Program (TCCP) since 2012. The TCCP provided me with the guidance and ability and confidence to become a better content creator. Apart from earning some healthy pocket money, I learnt a lot of tricks to make content that was pleasing to most (that said, not everything I created made it through the N3V rigorous testing regime). It's not easy but is worthwhile in the end. Why not give it a go?

After many years of working with N3V Games I've been waiting for the ability to upload my routes and dependencies directly to the N3V servers and to make them build ready.

With TCCP 2.0 I can proudly and very happily state that today I can upload my new routes and updated versions at the time I want and without all the headaches.

TCCP 2.0 gives me the necessary feedback about which items are required so the route is ready to get the green light to proceed more quickly and easily.

Thank you N3V for making my dreams come true!

I'm very pleased with my experience of working with N3V over the past few years as it helped me to solve some financial problems (and it is also nice when your work is rewarded financially).

Now with the introduction of the new TCCP, in my opinion, there is an opportunity to submit your work faster and track progress in testing and approving content. The site is clear and easy to use. It's great that now there is a check at the first stage (in the CMP even before uploading to the site), which should improve the quality of the content provided for consideration.

I wish all the developers good luck! Submit your work, the more choice the better.

Making high quality payware content for N3V is becoming easier with the advent of TCCP2. This guides creators thru the process with access to a range of beta testers so that mistakes, issues and bugs can be dealt with efficiently.

Do content creators make money from payware.....sure do. For me, it makes up about 45% of my monthly income at this time. With the use of TCCP2, this will me to release more content in a quicker time frame (obviously dependent on how much time and effort I put in).
