Getting Some Work Done

by Thomas on January 15th, 2006

I am sick and tired of just laying round here at home, so I have started working again. Unfortunately my father does not have a router and I am unable to make his cable modem work with my laptop, so I have made a tarball of the subversion repository I am working on and have tranfered that to my laptop using a mp3 player with a USB interface. It is a cumbersome method to exchange data, I admit – especially for only 100kb of text files – but it works.

Lars have been playing with openttd some more and have created some very cool screenshots. I have tried to start a new game myself and use the idea of a train network instead of just building simple point to point lines as I did when I last played this game, back in the nineties. I seem to have lost some of my patience, however, and have not managed to actually get far enough in the game to have any mentionable train network. I hope I can play some more today.

  1. Reminds me of the times with TTD where I build massive rail-systems servicing loads of trains. Back in TTD the stations could have a maximum of 4 tracks only – so at very busy stations you had to be really creative to keep it running smoothly.

    Makes me want to play again…

  2. Then go ahead. We can throw a massive multiplayer openttd LAN weekend at the dorm sometime this winter/spring!
