Any graphic artist wanting to pick this up? This set would be sooo awesome, especially on the Africa scenario, it is just screaming for it!

So uzurpator if you're here please finish

Welcome back uzurpator!

Whoa! I'm quite excited now that this set is back on! I've been contemplating doing a small building replacement set for the tropics, but there's not yet a set compelling enough to start working. Maybe now there will be...

Anyhow, everything in this set looks terrific so far, keep up the great work, and yes, welcome back!

Looking great man! Glad to see this set back on track.

But... I thought you were coding it??

Post by **uzurpator** » 20 Jun 2006 14:14

I swore an oath to never code anything for TTD. besides - I have no time for that (actually I should be finishing my master's thesis instead of drawing pixel locomotives, but heck with it

)

Who coded the original Tropic Set? I thought you did

Post by **uzurpator** » 20 Jun 2006 15:10

Yes - that was me. But that was ancient - that is sans callbacks and stuff. I really have no time to mow through documentation now.

Besides - once this thing is finished I divert all my free time towards Transport Empire.

Really great work, Uzurpator. Can't wait for release.

Brings back memories. I remember this was the first set to experiment with short wagons, which didn't work in those days.
