Hello forum members, admins, moderators, programmers, painters, translators, testers, other contributors, players, and lurkers!
I thought my first post should be about me introducing something to the community, so I might as well get started.
I've been playing Simutrans for years now. It all started somewhere in my junior high school era. I'm pretty sure I had an old Pentium I-with-several-hundred-MHz box, around 1GB of hard disk space, and an internet connection through 28k dial-up modem. But luckily I found this game.
So I started playing the default pak, and survived the starting economic challenges just fine. Not until I started playing pak 128 that I found that it is much harder to keep up with the maintenance expenses. Then I went on and off for a while (school and early years of college was the worst time ever), and in mid last year I started to miss Simutrans and downloaded pak 128, which to my surprise had online multiplayer capabilities (yeay!).
Funny though, through all these years spent playing, I never actually got very far on the timeline. I found that playing one map all the time got pretty boring. So quite often I start all over on a new map. Thats why I never get the chance to practice late game strategies. I hope you can help me on that.
Oh yeah, I'm from Indonesia. I'm not sure whether there are many Indonesians here in the community, but I've seen one recently.
I also saw on the translation site that Indonesian translations aren't complete. Maybe I could help on that (not that many play, but still...). I myself is a fan of skyscrapers, metropolitan city planning, trains (especially TGV
), busess, and all sorts of transportation every city in the world has to offer. I hope I have the chance to live and see them one by one.
So guys, if you have any questions (regarding the transportation here, maybe), feel free to ask. It's been a long enough introduction.
