Scene: Rush hour at a major terminal, circa 1990.

Commuters swarm the electric multiple units arriving empty from the depot, their drivers simply changing ends before a quick departure back to the suburbs.

Intercity trains arrive behind unpowered Driving Van Trailers, then depart with the locomotive leading.

An overnight sleeper to the seaside reverses into the station under the watchful eye of its guard, the locomotive pushing from the other end.

What game is this? OpenTTD 16! Let’s discuss our latest visual improvement and an optional new gameplay challenge.

It’s April, time for a new OpenTTD version?

Sort of. We’re hard at work on features for OpenTTD 16, but in the meantime we’ve fixed a few bugs including a multiplayer desync triggered by train crashes.

Fixes incude:

• Don’t desync multiplayer clients when a train crashes
• When a helicopter runs out of fuel near the map edge, crash it within the map instead of the void (which crashes the whole game)
• Improve appearance of toolbars and main menu images/text with some non-default base sets such as aBase, biggui, and original TTD

If you find any more bugs, please report them here.

I wanted to provide an update on the situation with OpenTTD on Steam and GOG, and what the Atari re-release of Transport Tycoon Deluxe means for OpenTTD. There has been a lot of speculation and, in some cases, misinformation spread about what has happened. Our initial announcement perhaps didn’t provide as much detail as we could have, but I want to reassure OpenTTD fans that we have not been “pressured” by Atari to make these changes.

OpenTTD has been available on the Steam Store for the past five years. During that time, we’ve built up an incredible player base, attracting lots of new players to the game. Starting today however, OpenTTD will no longer be directly available as a standalone game on Steam. It can instead be obtained as part of a bundle alongside the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe, which has been re-released by Atari and is now available to purchase via Steam for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can purchase the bundle here for $9.99.

Please read on for more details on this change.
