Will Transport Tycoon for mobile still embody the classic Tycoon elements?
Yes! The game is very much true to the 'Tycoon' label and hasn't been watered down whatsoever. It's one of the most complex simulation games ever to be launched on mobile platforms.
Does the game take advantage of the features of mobiles and tablets?
Transport Tycoon has a completely new user interface designed for touch screens. Players can quickly and easily explore and interact with the game world, making the game feel more tactile and immediate as a result. It was important to keep the core gameplay and rich graphical style as it was, but we had to carefully adapt and enhance it to encompass the touchscreen interface and mobile experience.

Transport Tycoon for mobile platforms has been designed and directed by legendary game designer Chris Sawyer in partnership with Origin8, a veteran development studio that has recreated and restored Sawyer's original simulation code.

Can I make my own scenarios/maps?
Not yet - but since this was possible in PC versions of the game, we can't rule it out for future updates!
Will there be a version for PC or Mac?
There are no plans to recreate Transport Tycoon for PC or Mac platforms as of now. We hope that PC gamers who also own an iOS or Android phone or tablet will embrace the new game as a revitalized version of the classic original.
Will there be a version for Windows phones?
Right now, Chris Sawyer and the Origin8 team are completely focused on Transport Tycoon for iOS and Android platforms.
Will the new version be exactly like Chris Sawyer's Locomotion?
Transport Tycoon is completely re-written (a consequence of the original games being written in 8086 Assembler, which can't be recompiled for other platforms!), but the game design is very much based on Chris Sawyer's older games with an updated interface and controls to suit mobile platforms. Simply put, the game aims to recreate the original Transport Tycoon experience, while incorporating selected improvements introduced in Chris Sawyer's later games.
Can I share or back up my saved games?
You can back up your saved games through iCloud on iOS devices and Google Drive (Google Play version only).

We present the first bugfix release of the 1.11 release series!
Transport Tycoon Browser
Along with our usual bug fixes, we’ve broken our own rules and included a couple of features in this release - a vsync option which should hopefully fix screen-tearing seen by some people, and volume controls in the Options window (with better defaults).
Notable bug fixes include improved scaling of a few windows, and better detection of faulty GL-renders which should avoid some crashes on startup due to bad video renderer.
