Chris Sawyer interview from last year
(August 2, 2000)
Gamers Central conducted a very interesting
interview with
Chris Sawyer in 1999. An excerpt:
Chris Sawyer: After the release of Transport Tycoon Deluxe at the end of 1995, I spent a
long time playing around with various ideas and directions for the next game. Most of 1996
was actually spent working on brand new code for Transport Tycoon 2, but this project was
abandoned (or perhaps just postponed?) in August of that year. The code didn't go to
waste though, as much of it went into the project which later became RollerCoaster Tycoon.
Serious work on RollerCoaster Tycoon started around August/September 1996, and I
worked on it full-time from them until publication in March 1999.
Based on his other comments in the interview, the prospects for a
TT sequel appear to be hovering somewhere near "maybe".
Microsoft Train Simulator
(August 2, 2000)
Kuju Entertainment Ltd. is
developing this
new game to
be distributed by Microsoft.
The release date is slated for Spring 2001. This game appears to be in the
same genre as Microsoft's venerable Flight Simulator.
