Re: Transport Tycoon to be "revitalised" for iOS and Android
Chris isn't programming (just advising, I believe), Origin8 are doing the development.
Re: Transport Tycoon to be "revitalised" for iOS and Android
Easy: Chris Sawyer owns all of the code, graphics and IP for Transport Tycoon/Locomotion, and none of it for TTDPatch & OpenTTD. Way too much code to try to figure out who owns what and give proper attribution.Roman wrote:But I must ask if this is the right/best thing to do. We've all seen better with TTDPatch and OpenTTD. It's open source, and it has been out there for quite a while. Why not learn from others?

It´s a commercial project, no need to please the rivet counters.

Re: Transport Tycoon to be "revitalised" for iOS and Android
Oh, I didn't mean code theft or licensing. "Learing from others", as in "realizing what others did conceptually to improve my work", and eventually, "implementing something similar". Be it for better review ratings, higher sales figures, pleasing some fans, or just for the sake of personal or professional progress as a games developer. No need to copy & paste, or even look at the source code of "the others". I'm talking about not repeating the same mistakes (if they can be called so).kamnet wrote:Easy: Chris Sawyer owns all of the code, graphics and IP for Transport Tycoon/Locomotion, and none of it for TTDPatch & OpenTTD.

If you had invented something brilliant that, in subsequent decades, other people significantly modified to release improved versions to wide acclaim, and you were then to bring out a modern/updated version of your original product, what would you do? Stick to your old, back then fine, but nowadays antiquated way of doing things, or build on the other people's improvements, like they built on yours?
I just fell that it's a shame that, as far as we can tell from the published screenshots, one of the biggest problems of Locomotion (the road and track layouts) seems to be transferred to the new TT without improvements.

No one seems to be interested in the music They revealed on one of their Social Media accounts that it has the TTD music.

Re: Transport Tycoon to be "revitalised" for iOS and Android
The music was perhaps the first thing we noticed at the TT meet.
Re: Transport Tycoon to be "revitalised" for iOS and Android
I think I would have liked there to have been a new title screen theme though as was the case from TTO to TTD.

Re: Transport Tycoon to be "revitalised" for iOS and Android
Note that OpenTTD was never intended as product appealing to wide userbase (defined as in "they will buy it"), but rather toward rather extreme type of players (playing the same game for years).Roman wrote:"realizing what others did conceptually to improve my work", and eventually, "implementing something similar".
For example - limiting max speed of train. This is something that veteran OpenTTD really like, as it solves some old problems in advanced networks - but adding something like this to "normal" game may be a poor idea as it makes interface more complicated.

Re: Transport Tycoon to be "revitalised" for iOS and Android
Anyone know what the game's going to cost for iOS?
Re: Transport Tycoon to be "revitalised" for iOS and Android
Price will be revealed at launch.
Did you guys read this preview? http://www.pockettactics.com/features/p ... s-android/
It's weird the previewer first slams LoMo but in his preview doesn't compare the new game with it. He compares it with TT(D) and RCT. Assuring is the complexity he mentions. That makes me think a PC version would probably work.

Yes, funny. Seems he never tried Locomotion (or saw a screenshot), but only know about its existence.bokkie wrote: It's weird the previewer first slams LoMo but in his preview doesn't compare the new game with it.
IIRC, "shared orders" was a feature first implemented in TTDPatch by Csaboka.pockettactics.com wrote: There’s a few things borrowed from the open source fan extension Open TTD, too, like copying & pasting routes from one vehicle to another.

Something I haven't seen discussed ... Multi-Player or internet play. Anybody see anything on this?

In the first instance it will be single player only. Time will tell if Sawyer has learned how to craft an MP mode.wallyweb wrote:michael blunck wrote:IIRC, "shared orders" was a feature first implemented in TTDPatch by Csaboka.

Re: Transport Tycoon to be "revitalised" for iOS and Android
18 years since an official Transport Tycoon release yet this forum seems quiet...
Anyway there is some news (although nothing unexpected) even though it's already released in Australia (Appy Nations's twitter seems better than the official one)
"it'll be around £5"
It releases at midnight in your time zone
The music is enhanced
