Flazm

Flazm Interactive Entertainment is a video game developer and publisher associated with Lithuania and best known for simulation and management games, particularly Train Valley and Train Valley 2. The studio was founded in 2010 in Magnitogorsk, Russia, by Alexey Davydov, Sergey Dvoynikov, and Timofey Shargorodskiy. Its early business centered on browser-based games, and the company produced more than 30 web games for platforms including Kizi and Kongregate. According to the available reference material, these games accumulated more than one billion plays, giving Flazm an early audience and distribution base outside the premium PC market. The studio's later identity was shaped by railway-themed games. Alexey Davydov developed Railway Valley in 2008, before the formation of Flazm, drawing inspiration from the earlier game Shortline. Railway Valley established the basic concept of coordinating trains, routes, infrastructure, and schedules under time and resource constraints. Flazm subsequently released Railway Valley 2 and Railway Valley Missions in 2012, while development began on a related and more ambitious project that became Train Valley. In 2014, Flazm moved its headquarters to Vilnius, Lithuania. The relocation broadened the studio's connection to the Lithuanian game-development community and enabled work with Lithuanian developer Egis Bachur on Scrap Garden, a puzzle-adventure game released in 2016. The move also marked a transition from the studio's Russian origins toward a Lithuanian operating base, although the available material does not provide detailed information about its corporate structure, ownership, staffing, or financing. Train Valley was released on Steam on September 16, 2015. It refined Flazm's railway-management formula into a commercial PC game built around connecting cities, laying tracks, managing train traffic, and completing objectives across historical settings. The title became the studio's most recognizable product and established a foundation for a sequel. Flazm announced Train Valley 2 in December 2016. The sequel entered Steam Early Access on March 29, 2018, and received its full release on April 13, 2019. Train Valley 2 expanded the original concept with additional production-chain and logistics mechanics, increasing the strategic scope of the series. Flazm's portfolio therefore spans two related areas: high-volume browser entertainment from its earlier period and downloadable premium games centered on simulation, puzzle, management, and logistics. Its brand positioning is that of a specialist independent studio creating accessible systems-driven games with clear objectives and compact, replayable scenarios. Publicly documented information is limited regarding the company's current leadership, current product pipeline, official website, financial performance, and present-day operating status beyond its identification as a game developer and publisher.

Flazm Interactive Entertainment was established in 2010 in Magnitogorsk, Russia, by Alexey Davydov, Sergey Dvoynikov, and Timofey Shargorodskiy. The studio initially concentrated on browser games and produced more than 30 titles for distribution platforms such as Kizi and Kongregate. The available reference material reports that these games were played more than one billion times, indicating substantial reach during the company's web-game period. The company's railway focus began before its formal establishment. In 2008, Alexey Davydov developed Railway Valley, a game influenced by Shortline. Railway Valley presented the core idea of organizing railway traffic and managing routes under operational constraints. Flazm later produced Railway Valley 2 and Railway Valley Missions in 2012, while work began on a successor concept that evolved into Train Valley. A significant organizational change occurred in 2014, when Flazm moved its headquarters to Vilnius, Lithuania. The relocation brought the studio into the Lithuanian development scene and supported a collaboration with Lithuanian developer Egis Bachur. That cooperation resulted in Scrap Garden, which was released in 2016. Scrap Garden broadened Flazm's portfolio beyond railway management into puzzle-adventure entertainment. Train Valley was released through Steam on September 16, 2015. The game became the studio's best-known property and focused on laying railway tracks, connecting locations, controlling trains, and completing scenario objectives. Its combination of logistics, time pressure, and approachable visual presentation helped define Flazm's public identity as a specialist in compact simulation and management games. On December 23, 2016, Flazm announced Train Valley 2. The sequel entered Steam Early Access on March 29, 2018, and was fully released on April 13, 2019. Train Valley 2 expanded the series' railway-management structure with more elaborate logistical and production relationships, while retaining the original emphasis on route planning and traffic coordination. The documented history presents Flazm as an independent studio that moved from browser-game production into premium PC development. Its work has remained centered on systems-driven play, including transportation management, logistics, puzzle solving, and simulation. Public reference material does not establish detailed information about current executives, corporate ownership, revenue, additional releases after Train Valley 2, or the company's present commercial operations.
