OpenRCT2 is available for Microsoft Windows (Vista and higher Windows XP support was dropped since v0.0.5 ), Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Android. A new object and save format for OpenRCT2 is currently in testing, which will significantly raise these limits, and will also bolster support for importing savegames from RCT1 and RCTC. Unless otherwise noted, most information on this wiki about RCT2 directly applies to OpenRCT2 as well.īecause OpenRCT2 currently uses the same save format as RCT2, some hardcoded limits are still in place, such as 255 rides and shop/stalls in a park or 1,000 guests in a queue line. OpenRCT2 aims to continue where RCT2 left off, making it an update to RCT2 in a similar way RCT2 acted as one to RCT1, or how Loopy Landscapes acted as one towards the base installation of RCT1. On 15 October 2015, this process was finished, making the game independent (except for graphics, sounds and objects), and easier to fix bugs and to port to other systems. Replacing these functions bit by bit with own code in a more usable programming language was a pivotal project of the developers. In order to keep the game playable and testing easier, OpenRCT2 called into the original RCT2.EXE for functions it did not yet have itself. Original RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 game files are required in order to play OpenRCT2.Development of OpenRCT2 was started on 2 April 2014 by Ted 'IntelOrca' John, with the project making steady development progress due to the efforts of other volunteers contributing towards its development. Various fixes and improvements for bugs in the original game.OpenRCT2 features many changes compared to the original RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 game. Scenarios require the player to complete a certain objective in a set time limit whilst sandbox allows the player to build a more flexible park with optionally no restrictions or finance. OpenRCT2 allows for both scenario and sandbox play. The player must try to make a profit and maintain a good park reputation whilst keeping the guests happy. The gameplay revolves around building and maintaining an amusement park containing attractions, shops and facilities.

OpenRCT2 is an open-source re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (RCT2).
