..about Chris Sawyer & Game Development
Roller Coaster Tycoon Platinum
Which development tools were used to develop RollerCoaster Tycoon?
The game was written and compiled using MS Macro Assembler V6.11c, MS Visual C V5, MS DirectX 5 SDK, plus assorted custom-written tools. The graphics were created using a variety of 3D modelling, rendering, and paint packages, including Lightwave V5.6, Raydream Studio V5, DeBabelizer Pro 4.5, Photoshop 5.5, Paint Shop Pro V5, Deluxe Paint 2E, Pro Motion V4.2, Painter V5, True Space V2, Corel Draw 8, and Meta Creations Poser 4.
What language was RollerCoaster Tycoon programmed in?
It's 99% written in x86 assembler/machine code (yes, really!), with a small amount of C code used to interface to MS Windows and DirectX.
What qualifications do you need to create games like RollerCoaster Tycoon?
Chris Sawyer has a degree in Computer Science and Microprocessor Systems, but creating great games comes mostly from experience rather than study. University or college can teach you how to program, but there's much, much more to game development than that. You need to be organized, methodical, determined, patient, reliable, and of course you need to understand what people enjoy. There are some computer game design / development courses available in UK universities nowadays, but there is still a lot they can't teach you.

Hi all..
I know RCT2 is 12 years old now, but from what I gather there is still a reasonably large proportion of fans who still play the game. I prefer it over RCT3 and spent hundreds (probably thousands) of hours playing the game.
It's great to see the game on Steam - I'm going to buy it before January 2nd as it's on sale (woop!) and then my Steam friends can see how many hours I play the game (good or bad, you decide )
To the point though - it would be great to see Steam Workshop for the game - it could have the potential to drive sales for it too. I've no idea if there are costs involved with Steam to actually give a game workshop capabilities, but an update (even with some new DLC like Microsoft did with Age of Empires II) would be epic.
What's everybody else's thoughts? Perhaps the game has had it's time, or would workshop capabilities give it another spurt of life?
