Title: OpenTTD (PRE-GAME)
Post by: Freshmaniscoolman on December 20, 2012, 03:05:49 pm

From site:

"OpenTTD is an open source simulation game based upon the popular Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features."

So, we're starting this game, I got it yesterday and it was pretty fun.
So if you want to join in you are free to join in. I just need someone to tell me what the starting year should be and this will be started.

Also think about if you want to use newgrfs and maybe say something in the DFC steam group chat since there are typically interested people there whenever OTTD comes up. Alternatively, do a search for OTTD in the main Other Games forum and check out what we've done in the past for ideas.

If this turns out to be thing could people post what they did, like a let's play thing?
I don't know how to play the game, but it would be interesting. Posting to watch.

OpenTTD is pretty simple, it was complicated at first but then I got used to it, the wiki is your friend.

Also, change in plans, can someone start a server?
