Hello Simtropolis community! My name is Kevin Fields (kamnet), and I come to you from the OpenTTD development community at openttd.org and TT-Forums.net. I've recently started a project to try to find quality fan-created graphics for SimCity 2000 and 3000 for inclusion as an expansion set for OpenTTD.
For those unfamiliar with OpenTTD, it is an open-source recreation of the classic MicroProse game Transport Tycoon Deluxe by Chris Sawyer. In the years between the game going out of publication and it's recent re-launch as a mobile platform, OpenTTD was created to allow fans of the game to re-live the expeirence. The game has grown far past being a mere clone of Transport Tycoon Deluxe, it continues to be developed, introduce new features and allow fans to create their own graphics, sounds and music.
OpenTTD originally was dependent on the 8bpp graphics for Transport Tycoon Deluxe, but the community has long since developed it's own graphics sets. Recently the game was improved by allowing for 32bpp renders and enhanced zoom levels. In the past there has also been some expressed interest in trying to use SC2K/SC3K graphics, but due to limitations of scale at the time made this a complicated task. With the new improvements, converting these classic files to create new works should be easy!
If you, or somebody you know, has created graphics and are willing to donate them to this project, please let me know!
