Simutrans is now being developed by large international community of
voluntary helpers. Everyone is welcome to help. You can help by
painting images,
writing texts,
bringing ideas or
extending game program code. We cannot return
you any financial benefit, we can only write your name into credits. But you will be
rewarded by a knowledge that you help to extend something, what thousand people
love to play and what makes them happy!
This concept keeps the game free and thus available to everyone. In past months there has been few tens thousands of downloads of Simutrans each month. The number is constantly increasing. Any help is always welcome.
First thing you can do to help (if you like the game) is to stop here (Simugraph Forum - Praises section) and drop a few words that you like the game. It is always nice to hear, that you like playing the game and that the effort of all helpers is not futile. I would like to say here very big "THANK YOU VERY MUCH" to everyone, who has helped to create Simutrans!
Simutrans 64x64
version is now translated to about
17 languages, 128x128 version to only 6. So if you
would like to help to translate Simutrans to your native tongue it will be
most welcome! It is not very difficult, you can learn about it in
Simutrans
manual - translation section. Now we also have a web based translation system
called SimuTranslator, which makes translation really easy.
You just look at the image, and wrie apropriate text.
If you want to create translation for 128x128 version
you can write directly to me and I will create you an account: t_kubes@yahoo.com.
Please note, that
this is public address and it must be protected by spam filter. Sometimes
filter can kill clean messages too. If I will
not respond in few days please try to contact me again.
All ideas
need to be transformed to a C++ program code to make them live in Simutrans.
If you are skilled C++ programmer and
devoted Simutrans fan and you would
like to join to programming team and extend Simutrans you can write to Hans.
(See Simutrans homepage or
Simugraph for contact.) Simutrans is free but
it is NOT open source. Your coding work of course will not be stolen from you,
nor it will be used on other projects, it will be integrated into Simutrans with
your credentials. (It may however get changed by others as Simutrans evolves.)
Please apply only if you have serious interest to help and know Simutrans for
some time, just peeking in and leaving instantly consumes time that can be
used for more meaningful tasks instead.
