Train Tycoon is very old news, but the screenshots are new.

Mainly fine, but the spelling is a bit woeful :/

It's spelt 'coming', not 'comming'. 'comming' sounds like 'the act of doing communism'.

RedBoss - perhaps it's the newest plan of the communists to take over the world :D

:!: I tested it and it's wonderful game!!! Really... :!:
And you have true... "Comming" is awful... I correct it now to "coming" but "comming" in banner isn't possible... It's not my graphic...

PS: Does it has the same errors known by TTD? :D But really nice to see that he can sell again the old graphics by Simon Foster...

More Screens please!

interesting that hey say they have the license from Chris Saywer, we finaly know who has the copyright of the game :).
I wonder how redboss likes openttd as they have suport for mobile devices. Did anyone contact them about the type of license they have? and who gave it to them? and what the consequences are for TTDP and OTTD?

I think a new forum might be in order, if people want to use some of the features of ttdpatch, for this

Oh my god, it's not possible... Redboss have legal rights and blessing from Chris Sawyer. He is owner the idea about Transport Tycoon but Atari have licence on Transport Tycoon name. Redboss must use new name - Train Tycoon. They used original game engine from TT without TTDP features...
The game is fully legal!!!

we might want a new patchman especially for train tycoon cause if it uses the ttd machine this might be a good idea

Hi Pnaky and thanks for the screenies. I wonder if you are a beta-taster? Or where did you get these screenies from? They do not appear on the English Redboss site, the banner there is unclickable too((.

Pnaky: Does that mean no one way signals? As you say TT Engine, thats really bad. TTD and TT aren't that different actually, so I think not haveing one way signals would be a gameplay killer...

Ohh, if they need some TTDPatch features I have written I am open for relicensing as closed source ...

PS: Train Tycoon Patch doesn't sound bad ... :D

Oleq: Yes, I'm a beta-tester this game... I have a consent on preview screens from game for you, fans of TTD... ;) And banner has only information character... ;)

eis-os: This game don't have signals on railroad... Train on the crossing wait then on go over the cross... Second train go after first train...
PS: Hey man, you are joker!!! :D

Ohh, to bad, I guess as they don't even have signals, they aren't interested in TTDPatch stuff, so you don't need to take the trouble to tell them about TTDPatch.

They can't use signals on rail... It's to much difficult on mobile CPU and operating memory... The tanckle algorithm can killed the mobile procesor... :( Mobile is only mobile... :|

Signals are possible maybe for Symbian platform... :/

Sure Sure ... But thats the fun part actually, make most stuff work even on slow speed systems :-) Btw. How big in tiles will be the land? Will it allow with better devices to have up 255x255 tiles?

Map have cca 255x255 tiles square and 4 levels to high...

Very interesting. Is it known what will be the lower plank for mobile devices? So if I'm going to change my mobile now, what am I to buy in order to run Train Tycoon?

P.S. I already imagine Train Tycoon Patch vs Open Train Tycoon :) Mobile USSet etc. The progress goes on - what about Mobile Locomotion ;) ?
