OpenTTD: Version 15.3 released

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

OpenTTD, the open source implementation of Transport Tycoon Deluxe, has been released in version 15.3.

OpenTTD 15.3 2026-04-04 Posted by 2TallTyler 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

ScummVM 2026.2.0 (Codename "Railmonicon") released

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The release of version 2026.2.0 (Codename “Railmonicon”) of ScummVM brings again a lot of game engine updates and new supported games. With ScummVM, classic point-and-click adventures (LucasArts, Sierra etc.) can be brought back to life on many systems.

Mar 28, 2026 ScummVM 2026.2.0 “Railmonicon” sees the light Three months have passed since the last release, and here we are again, with our new release approach. We are both worried and excited, but hope that in the current reality of the absence of pre-release testing, with more frequent releases, we will be able to deliver critical fixes faster. Let’s talk about the release scope. Three months have passed, but the amount of new features is very noticeable. Newly Supported Games: Necronomicon: The Dawning of Darkness Crime Patrol Crime Patrol 2: Drug Wars The Last Bounty Hunter Mad Dog McCree Mad Dog II: The Lost Gold Space Pirates Who Shot Johnny Rock? Besides these newly supported games, which come from two new engines, we improved PC Speaker emulation, support multiselect (with Shift/Ctrl keys) in the Launcher, made our internal Help system more noticeable by adding buttons “Help” to several dialogs, and made several improvements to make the lives of our GUI translation team easier. Regarding improvements to specific engines and games, the notable changes are: music support to Atari ST releases of Elvira 1, Elvira 2, I, and MIDI music for Ripley’s Believe It or Not!: The Riddle of Master Lu. After intensive testing, we improved the overall stability of Hodj’n’Podj, Might and Magic: Book One - Secret of the Inner Sanctum, Myst III: Exile, Pilots Brothers 3D and 3D-2, The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: Case of the Rose Tattoo, Nathan’s Second Chance, Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror, Discworld 1 and numerous WAGE engine-based games. For the platform-specific fixes, Broken Sword 1 plays better on big-endian systems such as PS3, Wii, and OSXPPC. The Atari port has some handcrafted optimizations in the SCUMM engine. On iOS, we now support Text-to-Speech, and there is better support for external MIDI devices. These are only the highlights of the release; the release notes contain the full list. Since this is our first release in the new format, the number of ports ready on day one is limited. Please be patient with us when looking for your specific platform updates. You will find them on our downloads page. The iOS version Store and the Android versions should soon be available in their respective platform’s app stores.

OpenTTD: An update on Steam / GOG changes

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The developer of OpenTTD, the Open Source implementation of Transport Tycoon Deluxe, has posted an update about the situation about the Steam / GOG changes on his blog:

An update on Steam / GOG changes for OpenTTD 2026-03-19 Posted by orudge 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. Atari approached us to explain their plans for the Transport Tycoon Deluxe re-release, and what it might mean for OpenTTD. They are keen to work with us, and hope that the new release will be welcomed by the community who have been playing OpenTTD for the past 20+ years. We discussed these plans, and we understood that a compromise would be needed to balance Atari’s commercial interests (which of course they are entitled to pursue as the rights holder) against the availability of a free, well-developed evolution of the game. The decision was made that access to OpenTTD on these platforms would be conditional, for new players, on purchasing Transport Tycoon Deluxe first, while retaining the ability to download OpenTTD for free from our web site. Some have suggested that we should have chosen to remove OpenTTD from Steam and GOG entirely, but that would have caused unnecessary disruption to the many thousands of people currently enjoying the game on these platforms, and would have potentially prevented new players from discovering the game in future. The OpenTTD project owes a lot - indeed, it owes everything - to Transport Tycoon Deluxe and to Chris Sawyer. Without TTD, there would be no OpenTTD - it’s as simple as that. As I covered in 2024, OpenTTD started off as a pretty much perfect clone of TTD, and though the game has evolved almost beyond belief since 2004, it is still rooted in the fundamentals of Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Agreeing to collaborate with Atari on their re-release not only enables you to go back and play the original game as it was in 1995, but helps to ensure OpenTTD remains a thriving project for years to come. Additionally, as part of the discussions we held, Atari agreed to make a contribution towards the running costs of our server infrastructure. We are also extremely grateful for the many donations that have come in over the past few days from users - your support will help keep our services going, and it is deeply appreciated. I understand that these changes have provoked strong feelings in the community, but I feel it important to emphasise that Atari have worked collaboratively with us, and that OpenTTD as a project retains its full independence. Even after reading this, you may still not agree with the choices that we’ve made, but I would please ask you to share your views respectfully. The Transport Tycoon community has been a source of joy in my own life for well over a quarter of a century, and it would be fantastic for us to be able to continue to enjoy these brilliant games well into the future.

ScummVM 2026.1.0 (Codename "Like a Version") released

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The release of version 2026.1.0 (Codename “Like a Version”) of ScummVM brings again a lot of game engine updates and new supported games. With ScummVM, classic point-and-click adventures (LucasArts, Sierra etc.) can be brought back to life on many systems.

Jan 31, 2026: ScummVM 2026.1.0 “Like a Version” is finally released Posted by sev Another year has gone by, therefore we are releasing a new ScummVM version. As you may notice right away, we are changing our version numbering schema, but that’s not all! We are also planning on more frequent releases!, which you can read about on sev’s blog. This could be the biggest release we have made so far in terms of the added features and engines. If I count correctly, we have added 12 new engines to our compatibility page. Not games, engines. In terms of games, it is challenging to count, since two of the engines, SLUDGE and WAGE are authoring tools, but if you count games in our detection tables, that adds up to at least 194 titles. Newly Supported Games: Dark Seed God of Thunder The Adventures of Willy Beamish Heart of China Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand Nancy Drew: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake Ripley’s Believe It or Not!: The Riddle of Master Lu Little Longnose Pilot Brothers 3: Back Side of the Earth Pilot Brothers 3D. The Case of Garden Pests Pilot Brothers 3D-2. Kennel Club Secrets Features of National Fishing Mom Don’t Worry Dog-n-cat: In the Footsteps of Unprecedented Beasts Dog-n-cat: Island of Dr Ratiarty Out of this World (Another World) SLUDGE-based games Adibou 2: Nature & Sciences WAGE-based games Penumbra: Overture Tex Murphy: Martian Memorandum Mort&Phil: A Movie Adventure (Special Edition) Trick or Treat Hodj ’n’ Podj The Last Express And probably various other games… Apart from the games and engines, two very noticeable features are the massive improvement of Keymapper and Text-to-Speech. We ran a successful Google Summer of Code last year - Ellen Moon (ellen) worked on TTS and Aun Noman (Prime) added keymapper support to a huge amount of games. TTS is currently limited to desktops (Win/Lin/Mac), but we are working on support on the mobile platforms. As usual, we have added support for more localizations - we love them! We also squashed a number of nasty bugs - we do not love them so much. Engines and Games Improvements The Private Eye engine got a major sound subsystem update, in addition to support for external subtitles. The SCUMM engine had a significant overhaul, and it now supports the original in-game GUI for DOS, Macintosh and Windows. The Humongous Entertainment subengine was fully revisited with practically impeccable compatibility, thanks to the efforts of Bosca. The Stark engine for The Longest Journey now has much better compatibility with graphics cards. The Wintermute engine is undergoing a complete code review with the game compatibility improving daily. Last but not least, the ZVision engine, running Zork Nemesis and Zork: Grand Inquisitor has acquired widescreen support, better sound, and better panorama rendering, upgrading your game experience to a new level all thanks to the work of Thomas N McEwan, who joined our team last year.

ScummVM 2.9.1 (Codename "Slappin da BASS") released

Mon, 26 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The release of version 2.9.1 (Codename “Slappin da BASS”) of ScummVM brings again a lot of game engine updates among other things. With ScummVM, classic point-and-click adventures (LucasArts, Sierra etc.) and other games can be brought back to life on many systems.

May 25, 2025: ScummVM 2.9.1 “Slappin da BASS” is here! Posted by The ScummVM Team Get ready to jam and slap da BASS! Yes, it is this time of the year again! Please welcome the first ScummVM release of the year: ScummVM 2.9.1. This maintenance release mainly focused on fixing bugs that our developers and users have uncovered since our last stable release. As usual, several engines and platforms received their fair share of bug fixes and improvements: AGI, AGS, Asylum, BAGEL, Bladerunner, Hopkins, MADS, NGI, SCI, SCUMM, Sky, Sword1, Tetraedge, Tinsel, Tucker, TwinE, and TWP. Our porters also went on a bug-hunting spree, so all we can provide is a small summary of the latest and greatest fixes! The Nintendo 3DS (yes, we do not care about end-of-life dates!) has the GUI appropriately displayed if it is configured to use the top screen only. Android now provides an option to save and restore your configuration file and save games, and the vast majority of older Android devices will see increased performance thanks to the ARM NEON optimizations, which are now enabled by default. And the Beneath a Steel Sky game is not crashing in the intro anymore! The Atari port received some internal backend, GUI, and audio fixes. Speaking of audio: iOS/iPad will now always properly recognize FluidSynth soundfonts, macOS has support for Audio CD playback from original discs on Snow Leopard and earlier, and Windows 9x (yes, EOL…) can use FLAC files again! The detailed list of improvements is available here. Head over to our downloads page and grab it while it’s hot! As usual, macOS and Windows users can update ScummVM with our integrated, magical auto-upgrade solution.

OpenTTD: Version 14.1 released

Sat, 04 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

OpenTTD, the open source implementation of Transport Tycoon Deluxe, has been released in version 14.1.

OpenTTD 14.1 2024-05-03 Posted by michi_cc Our players have played a lot of OpenTTD 14 since it was released a few weeks ago – in last week alone those who opted into our survey played 34,700 hours across 17,219 games. In all those hours, you’ve found some bugs, and we’ve done our best to fix them. The first maintenance release for OpenTTD 14 fixes a multiplayer desync bug and cleans up a few rough edges with the new ship pathfinder and the unbunching feature. As always, there are plenty of other bugfixes, which you can find in the changelog.

OpenTTD: Version 14.0 released

Sat, 13 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

OpenTTD, the open source implementation of Transport Tycoon Deluxe, has been released in version 14.0. The project is now officially 20(!) years old. :D

OpenTTD 14.0 2024-04-13 Posted by TrueBrain Welcome to 14.0! OpenTTD’s first release was in March of 2004. Now twenty years later, we are proud to present to you: release 14.0. And boy, what a release it is. Do I dare to say: this has been the biggest release yet? Sometimes people try to tell us OpenTTD is dead. Well, 14.0 shows you it really isn’t. There are so many new goodies in 14.0, that I don’t even know where to start! Let’s go over a few, just to get you a feel for what to expect when you launch OpenTTD 14.0. Read more about our birthday celebration here. When one day isn’t a day It is now possible to make the calendar time walk slower, up to a point it is frozen. This doesn’t influence vehicle movement at all, nor the amount of goods transported, town growth, etc. But it does influence vehicle introduction dates, inflation, and aging. With this feature, we hope to enable different game-plays, where people want to have more time to build out their empire before vehicles expire, inflation gets too big, etc. A brand new day! For some a bit slower than others. Read more about this new feature in the devblog. Ship Pathfinder The ship pathfinder got some great love. It is now capable of directing ships over vast distances without the need for buoys. In fact, one could say, you don’t need buoys anymore at all. The ships will still find their way! Finally, no more “Ship is lost” non-sense. This enables ship-only games. Read more about this new feature in the devblog. Unbunching Do you also hate when busses start hugging each other on a route? And you did your best to ensure you send them out the depot with a good distance between them. But something must have happened down the road, and now they are very close to each other! Introducing: unbunching. A new feature that allows you to tell all vehicles in a shared order pool to keep their distance; automatically, done for you. Read more about this new feature in the devblog. Social Platform integration OpenTTD 14.0 allows better integration with Social Platforms. This is totally optional, and has to be installed separately. But once done, OpenTTD can talk to platforms like Steam, Discord and GOG Galaxy. For now, the functionality is limited: friends can see you play OpenTTD, if you are in a server or not, and what kind of map you are playing. For future versions, we intend to expand on that, making more possible. But, small steps. Read more about this new feature in the devblog. Survey support To finally put a rest to endless debates about what setting is used and which is not, OpenTTD now has an opt-in survey tool built-in. Over time this will allow us, developers, to better understand how OpenTTD is played, so we can better anticipate what will be a hit or a miss. You can, at any time, opt in or out from the survey. Read more about this new feature in the devblog GUI improvements / scalable font There has been a huge effort in making all our windows just a tiny bit better. Fixing pixel-errors, moving things around a bit, fixing colouring issues. But .. not less important, we now also have a built-in scalable font! Zephyris created a real (TTF) font heavily inspired by the sprite font. This means that scaling looks a lot better, especially for zoom levels like 1.5x. We love it so much, it is the default when you launch the game! (but no worries, you can revert to the sprite font if you really want to). Read more about this new feature in the devblog. New players experience First of all, there is now a Help and Manuals button in-game, that helps you through the basic information of the game. Bringing information closer to the user, and the game more accessible to everyone, has been a path we have been on for a while. Second, we revised a lot of settings, what their default value should be. Many settings have had their defaults changed, mostly towards enabling modern features by default. Lastly, we also renamed Cheats to Sandbox. We noticed people were struggling with using “cheats”, as we have been conditioned that cheats in games are bad. But Cheats in OpenTTD context is much more “play how you like” (read: Sandbox). So we renamed it, hopefully making it more clear to new players that it is perfectly okay to use these Sandbox options any time they like. Hopefully this helps new players get into the game easier. So much more … In total OpenTTD 14.0 comes with roughly 40 new features, over 500 bug-fixes, 200 changes, and many many code improvements. It took us 2,000 commits to get from 13.4 to 14.0, we touched 140,000 lines of code and removed 74,000 of them. This was all done by over 60 contributors. Interested how this all came together? Check out our blog post explaining it all. A great thank you to all who contributed, with code or support; it is truly appreciated! Here’s to another twenty years of OpenTTD development!
