OpenTTD (Transport Tycoon Deluxe)

OpenTTD (Transport Tycoon Deluxe): A remake of the popular Transport Tycoon Deluxe

OpenTTD is an open-source simulation game that draws its inspiration from the original game, Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

Chris Sawyer crafted this engaging game and strives to replicate the original as closely as possible while introducing many fresh features that augment the gameplay experience. The additions and enhancements, when compared to the original Tycoon Deluxe are so extensive that they would be too lengthy to enumerate here.

In OpenTTD, you have the opportunity to build extensive networks. You can connect industries and cities on massive, procedurally-generated maps that can be as large as 4096 x 4096 tiles. This can be achieved by constructing a comprehensive system of roads, railways, docks, and airports. You'll find yourself navigating through crowded city streets, crossing vast oceans and rivers, and overcoming towering mountains in one of the four different climates available in the game.

As for the transport aspect of the game, you can work independently or team up with friends to establish complete production chains and ensure the delivery of finished goods to towns. You have the potential to amass a fleet of hundreds of vehicles, each playing a crucial role in the transfer of cargo in your interconnected, multimodal network. The game also features optional cargo destinations for added flexibility.

OpenTTD also requires you to upgrade your networks constantly. This means keeping pace with technological advancements as the towns within the game expand, new transportation methods are invented, and industries evolve. You might witness industries springing up, altering their production methods, or even going under. You'll need to expand stations and enhance network capacity to keep up with demand and avoid any delay.

Finally, the game allows you to extend your gameplay experience. You can customize OpenTTD through a selection of community-created mods that can be downloaded through an in-game content service. These modifications include real-world vehicles, new sets of industries, custom scenarios, and more. This allows for a truly personalized experience that continually enhances and evolves your gameplay.
