OpenRCT2 News Update

Nice post. Once the whole game is reverse-engineered, I suggest that most of the changes from original RCT2 be left as an option to the user, or at the very least in one easily-modified header / C file. The research window being re-separated is one case where I prefer RCT2's approach. Same with the full date in the corner. On today's high-res displays, most may want the full date. Those with smaller monitors may like it better without the full date (unless you mouse-over and get the tooltip).

Why not use the original translations, instead of re-translating them? Would it be too much work?

To others: notice the criteria for the awards.

This is probably the only game I can really say I'm excited about and will be following the development of... how I wish I knew programming so I could help.

I can translate the game into Dutch if you'd like.

Hit me up with a list of words/phrases and I can get underway.

Honestly so many programmers loved that game as a kid there should be no problem getting this done.

Removing the damn hard coded limits are enough for me to play. All i want to is build a huge park with a fuckton of attractions and more than tens of thousands of guests. My Pentium II 400MHZ could handle RCT2 at it's maximum of 10k guests, I'm sure modern Haswell CPUs could take on alot more.

I really appreciate these updates! Let me just be another supportive fanboy saying what you guys are doing and have accomplished is awesome and I can't wait to see what happens next with this project. Fascinating read

Glad to see it's still pushing forward, I check the commits from time to time but on the news front it's been relatively quiet.

Cool update, glad to see things moving along. I really should get off my lazy ass and contribute, this is a great project. My x86 ASM is awfully rusty though...

Love you for doing this, best tycoon game ever!

Looking forward to this. Can't wait to build a park with NO custom scenery limits. No longer a limited number of CS -which was a real pain in the ass sometimes while making your scenario.

Also: how's the approach of trainers? Will (some of) their functions be included ingame? Or do we still need to use them like before.

Just asking because 8cars gives problems on Win7.

I don't know what this means...

Hey Ted, I found out about OpenRCT2 yesterday and I have to say: Amazing job! Really looking forward to the further development. I'll contribute from time to time :)
