Is this a copycat of the old DOS game Transport Tycoon?

This looks just like the free game openttd with a little polish applied.

I actually though the same thing while watching the trailer :D It might be even more like Railroad Tycoon since I guess it mostly focuses on trains.

Neither Transport Tycoon nor Railroad Tycoon are about city building ...

Since the games have a similar theme, do they of course have something in common or do you think that the wheel is reinvented with every game? ;)

[power man]

none of them have city building ST is just inspired by them, which is understandable as its a great train game format to follow

[EvilReFlex]

Its more like Anno, but with trains not ships.

Just try the game and deinstall if its to much of a copy to you.

Pyoro-2, power man, I would suggest you a bit more of OpenTTD, as it seems you are missing part of its essence.

OpenTTD does indeed have city building, as cities will grow if supplied with the proper cargo.

There are also city politics, since you can pay for temporary exclusive construction rights and the relation of the city with your company will be positively/negatively impacted by you actions on their soil. If you're not careful, this can lead to you being forbidden to modify landscape until relations normalise.

Yeah it is kind of like the old Anno games, with the city building. It has a slight Factorio vibe with with the trains. Slight automation game in there.

This has been a dream game idea of mine. Thankfully I was not the only one!

This game is a pure mess. Nothing works. I have 1000s of hours in factorio/anno/OTTD/captain of industry/etc and this game is just pure hell. Nothing works, things are broken, connection are stupid, train schedule is bugged (try multiple types of cargo and see).

You cannot directly build the actual cities. As in, you cannot build houses. Only the infrastructure. Now if there was a mod that allowed you to found a new settlement, then you'd be correct. The standard game? No city building.

Improving a city by supplying demand is not the same as building the city directly. Compare OTTD to any of the Anno games. The rest of the post is not relevant to this topic, but is a good example as to how the two games differ.

If you try to compare with this one, then TTD is not city "building" but city "development", if you will...
This one would be more "city building per se".

Stop posting the same thing everywhere. How you've managed 1000 hours in the others without your head exploding is the worlds next wonder.

It takes some things from OTTD but it adds some nice little things and takes things from other games.

- lines are managed separately from trains (Transport Fever)
- mines need workers (Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic)
- trains need fuel (kind of like Mashinky but you have to supply the fuel)

Citybuilding feels nice and smooth so far and is very different from OTTD.

Some compare it to Factorio, maybe because of the graphic style or the train signaling but I don't think it has much in common with Factorio.
