RCT Discussion / New Chris Sawyer Interview - RCT2 Coming To Mobile

    An interesting new interview with CS here.

    Some interesting bits in there including that hes working on porting RCT2 to mobile. Plenty to read and some thoughts on the new RCTW game.
     
     
     

    My "pet project" at the moment is an ambition to bring my old PC game RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 to modern mobile and tablet platforms - not an easy task given that the original game was written in low-level x86 assembler code which only works on the PC. But with the success of Transport Tycoon on mobile and with the experience and willingness of the small team from Origin8 to continue working for me it was looking a lot more feasible, so they're working with me to create a very faithful conversion of the original PC game.

      

    These days I give more priority to things outside work - personal life, voluntary work in the community, and hobbies (including riding roller coasters - my "coaster count" is 657!)

     

    I like the look of Taron, currently under construction at Phantasialand in Germany. Lots of twisty track packed into a small area and well-themed with rocks and scenery. That'll definitely be on my list to do when it's complete.

    Not so sure about that. I've heard somewhere that Sawyer wasn't really a fan of people using trainers and modding the original game.

    He knows about NE. I believe he said that we do a good job here, or something along those lines. It was Roomie that contacted him, he knows more.

    I spoke to him when he signed a copy of RCT 2 for a Christmas competition I ran a while back.
