OpenTTD News

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.

• Timekeeping (blog post)
• Better Ship Pathfinder (blog post)
• Unbunching (blog post)
• Social Platform integration (blog post)
• GUI improvement / scalable fonts (blog post)
• Better new player experience
  
• And so much more ...

I was once the hottest new model on the street. Newspapers heralded my arrival in every town. The titans of industry were inspired to produce more goods when I visited their factories.



But as the years have passed, so do their eyes pass over me, to eye curiously my replacements. Will you try the new style, ma’am? It’s so much better than that old thing.

I’ve watched my friends grow old and die. My brother got caught in traffic and caused a horrific level crossing collision. I get sick more often, wheezing to a halt wherever I am. When I visit the doctor for a spot of renewal, they tell me, “Sorry, I can’t help. You’re too old.” When will I be autoreplaced?

Woe is the tale of the Balogh Goods Truck. But what if we could slow or pause the steady march of time? In OpenTTD 14, you can.

With OpenTTD 14, we introduce an opt-in survey system; a method where we can finally ground our debates with facts! Additionally, BaNaNaS content will use HTTPS (instead of HTTP), and many more small infra-related changes.



Time to chat about this for a bit.
