Locomotions graphics good or bad?

Acorn has quite a point, the 30's were pretty dull and lacked of colour etc. Hopefully other screens will also show other ages and other vehicles.

It was the great depression, so I do think people didn't want to pay for paint.

Depends on where you were, I love Art Deco architecture.

I think you should do something about your artistic knowledge; Art Deco is 1920, not 1930. Besides, they didn't start calling it Art Deco until, like the seventies or something. Anyway, the "great depression" was pretty great.

Wrong on both counts. The early 1920's was more the tail end of Art Nouveau, transitioning to Art Deco sometime in the mid to late 1920s. Art Deco, as characterised by the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings, came at the late 1920s and early 1930s. Art Deco lasted through the end of the 1930s as characterized by the New York World's Fair in 1939, and probably stayed around through the mid 1940s simply because peoples' energy was concentrated elsewhere. After the end of the war, modernism and other things appeared. But the "high 30s" was the glory days of Art Deco, at least if you had money and were in New York.

are you the cheat?

I don't care if its art deco or not, but I hope these graphics stay the same, but change the actual colours.

Actually, if they really were Art Deco, that would be very cool - he wouldn't do just one architectural style, he'd have them all, appearing over time as they ought. SimCity does something like this, and the results are interesting.

Strangest Off-topic ever!

Seriously, it would be nice if the buildings acted the way they do in TT now, with them changing over time, although, with a better engine, they would be able to change *better*. If that made *any* sense...

In other words, they need many, many more buildings, so as to change over time more visibly and extensively. True.

Since RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 has just been announced (complete with shiny 3d graphics and some smart new coaster building tools

) wouldn't it be easier to build from that engine

Surely both must be in early stages of development

Chris isn't directly developing RCT3, and wouldn't have access to the rct3 engine.

Born Acorn · Post by **Born Acorn** » 14 Apr 2004 11:26

both are very far into development as well

i find the graphics real ugly for the railroad track is made for RCT not for a TT game!
If simon foster really does the art i say we need to have patience for i think he agrees with meh

And Mike i say TTD and TT colors ROCK for a game as old as them....
DO NOT SPEAK BAD AT TTD....

Yes, TTD graphics at the time were very good. But comparing them with these screenshots, I'd say that Locomotion seems to have better graphics. (Not taking into account the fact the games were made in separate eras.)

I say Foster can do the graphics and just brighten up old TT and TTD so we can have lotsa fun with shiny new game.....
why a heck dun they use the TTD engine>
