OpenTTD 14.0-RC3

Features: added. Gameplay: improved. Bugs: squashed. Final testing pre-release: probably, unless time is accidentally stopped.

Today we release 14.0-RC3, hopefully the last release candidate before the proper 14.0 release. Compared to the previous RC, some annoying bugs were fixed and the latest translation updates included.

The stoppable march of time

I was once the hottest new model on the street. Newspapers heralded my arrival in every town. The titans of industry were inspired to produce more goods when I visited their factories.

I’ve watched my friends grow old and die. My brother got caught in traffic and caused a horrific level crossing collision. I get sick more often, wheezing to a halt wherever I am. When I visit the doctor for a spot of renewal, they tell me, “Sorry, I can’t help. You’re too old.” When will I be autoreplaced?

OpenTTD 14.0-RC2

Today we release 14.0-RC2, the second release candidate for the upcoming release. We’ve fixed a whole bunch of issues found in the first release candidate. However, there is a good chance there are still some issues out there that haven’t been found yet. Please help us hunt those down, and if you find one, you can report them here.

Translation updates are coming in every day, most languages are complete or are nearing completion. If you are a translator, please see if your language has any missing translations. We greatly appreciate your contribution!

Survey & HTTPS & Infra

With OpenTTD 14, we introduce an opt-in survey system; a method where we can finally ground our debates with facts! Additionally, BaNaNaS content will use HTTPS (instead of HTTP), and many more small infra-related changes.

Time to chat about this for a bit.

How the sausage is made, or: How OpenTTD is developed

In this post, you’ll get a peek behind the quite transparent curtain and learn more on how OpenTTD is developed.
