The BR Set
for Transport Tycoon Deluxe
PROJECT WEBSITE
Welcome to the homepage of the never-ending story
that is the BR Set for Transport Tycoon Deluxe. This was one of the
first suggested sets upon the introduction of the possibility of adding
new graphics. However, other sets that also began around that time have
long since been completed. In-fighting, disagreements, apathy and work
have all got in the way of this set being completed. Which is a great
shame really, since there is no tribute to the many regional companies
and services that Great Britain has. Thus, there will be a spirited
effort to finally complete what has been the longest running saga in
TT-Forums history. Click on the links on the left for the relevant
information.
Let me give you a brief background about this project:
Transport Tycoon Deluxe is a strategy game which involves taking control
of a transport company and building a transport empire. It was developed
by Chris Sawyer and published by Microprose in 1995. It would appear
that both have no interest in the game anymore (despite Sawyer's recent
mobile game based on TTD), and as such has quite a few bugs and limited
gameplay.
This is where Josef Drexler comes in. He created a
patch that would correct some of the bugs and improve the gameplay.
However, thanks to much dedication and help from several other
proficient coders, it's become far more than just a patch - in essence
it's become it's own game.
This project takes advantage of the patch's new
graphics modification, which, among other things, allows new train
locomotives and wagons. This set is solely for the enjoyment of it's
developers and anyone that plays Transport Tycoon Deluxe, thus it is not
a commercial product. It is also completely constructed from scratch,
and as such does not breach any copyright rules. See the FAQs for more
information about the legal side of all this.
