About the game
Simutrans features the ability to modify the terrain, build roads and rails, build bus stations and truck depots and it also features many ships, trains and vehicles. You can also play against up to 6 computer players, represented by a color. It is also multilingual and it can be configured to play with day/night cycles. There is also a freeplay option where you can play without fear of bankruptcy.
Like many similar games such as Transport Tycoon or Railroad Tycoon, its only real goal is to create a stable economy and grow as well as avoiding bankruptcy.
Simutrans is created by Hansjörg Malthaner, but is an open project in many aspects. For example, there are various programmers helping to make bugfixes and new features. Numerous artists have contributed the art for buildings and vehicles. Nearly every player can contribute to the development of the game, which makes the game more and more popular among transport simulation game players.
Unlike Transport Tycoon (Deluxe) and Locomotion, in Simutrans passengers have a destination.
