Transport Tycoon Deluxe... is that you?

[Khunvyel]

This just popped up in my newsfeed. I adore Transport Tycoon Deluxe, and had many great hours of fun with it and the ridiculousness it sometimes provided. This is why I'm very thankful of the OpenTTD community.

Now I immediately got the TTDX vibes from "Rise of Industry", and I'd like to know before I even think about downloading the demo, how much resemblence there is. Is it kind of a naturally improved version of TTDX? Or a different flavor that focuses on other things (which is still fine) ?
I've been bummed by too many titles who simply didn't live up to the original feel of TTDX, and especially since Rise of Industry lacks multiplayer (plus with the pinned, closed topic regarding it), it gives me pause to try.

So to the Devs and for anyone who played Transport Tycoon Deluxe, or OpenTTD, how does it compare?

Honestly, I never enjoyed OTTD. It's not an inspiration. TT is basically "bring stuff from A to B with nightmarish train intersections that will haunt you in your sleep". RoI is about production, town interaction, events and efficiency. Closer to Anno and Factorio. Hope this helps, and if still in doubt, there's a free demo!

I did enjoy Anno 1602 and 2070 a lot, so if this is a blend between TTD and Anno, it would also be very much up my alley. I'll see to checking out the demo on the weekend, and then will give an as-good feedback as I can, especially with multiplayer in mind.
