The best example I could think of was FreeCraft, which started as a reverse-engineered game engine but then added their own graphics and levels. You can not call it a remake or a separate game as long as it does not have its own graphics, those are mutually exclusive. It can be argued that it is a mod, since it modifies the gameplay only, while depending on the graphics of the "actual game", although it usually is the other way around. If this game doesn't fit that category, and it doesn't, as it is not a mod in any shape or form, should we remove it from that category? Born Acorn 16:53, 1 April 2006 (UTC) Reply It was an automated move because the category before was deleted. Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.143.116.201 ( talk) 16:57, 22 January, 2005 (UTC) Because the other category was deleted via WP:CfD. Why was the category changed from "Fanmade computer game remakes and sequels" to "Computer game mods"? OpenTTD definately is not a mod, it's a remake of the original and even though it requires the original data files, a seperate game. GoneWacko 02:23, 3 January 2006 (UTC) Reply And it certainly wouldn't be worth it's own wikipedia article. I was in fact contemplating on writing something about it in the actual article, but I am not quite sure if it's related enough. However, nothing more of them has been heard ever since (which was somewhere in late April 2004: Related TT-Forums thread) I just thought it was worth mentioning. The source code was never released (it was meant to be released under the GPL when it was finished) because they said they might decide to finish it later on. However, when OpenTTD was released, it appears the two developers lost their motivation and decided to work on a different - undisclosed (as far as I am aware) - project. Chirea Mircea ( talk) 00:10, 27 June 2008 (UTC) Reply Shortly before the first version of OpenTTD was made public, two people were also working on a rewrite of TT, named TTSD (Transport Tycoon Superdeluxe) and later on TTU (Transport Ultimate, but the second T was left in the abbreviation as a reference to TTD), supposedly without any disassembling of the original executable. Darklock ( talk) 15:49, (UTC) Reply That person isn't him. Kiand 10:47, 8 November 2005 (UTC) Reply He appears to be quite active on Wikipedia as Ludde23. Tue Nov 8 11:27:Īsk the original coder, Ludvig Strigeus - it was. Is that so? I would be interested in your source stating that the game has been ported using a disassembly of the TTD binaries. Then I presume that the legality of samba, for example, is questionable also. It should be noted that the legality of OpenTTD is questionable, since its code is written based on a disassembly of the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe executable.
