	News - Chris Sawyer working on modernisation of Transport Tycoon // PC /// Eurogamer
		With an official announcement in the offing, RollerCoaster Tycoon designer Chris Sawyer has spoken out about his latest project, which is said to be very much in line with what he was doing on Transport Tycoon.
		In an interview last week, Sawyer reveals that he's wanted to revisit Transport Tycoon ever since the original was finished, and only the significance of the RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise waylaid his work.
		Locomotion will apparently stick to being half-construction, half-world watching, and Sawyer says that his goal is "to ensure that the construction process is inspiring and the world-watching process is fun and rewarding." The game will use an isometric camera to help frame as much of the action as possible.

	Automotive Design & Production - Editor Bio - Chris Sawyer
		Conveniently located across the street from his grade school, Sawyer would stare out the window hoping for a fleeting glimpse of one of the strange and wonderful cars that inhabited the shop, which probably explains his grades during these formative years.
		His mother often claimed Chris learned to ride a bike so he could follow his brothers as they hung around the shops in Dearborn where race cars were known lurk.
		It wasn't long before Chris was driving on freeways, parking with ease, learning the fastest line through a corner, and reciting the advantages and disadvantages of bench versus bucket seats.

		Sawyer: After spending over two years working on Transport Tycoon and it's sequels, I wanted to do something a bit more light-hearted, something which would be fun to research.
		Sawyer: Right from the beginning I knew it would be an impossible concept to sell, so I developed the game virtually to completion before even approaching publishers.
		Sawyer: There's only so much you can do with the track layout and design of coasters to make them fun, but you can always improve them by the use of scenery, landscape, tunnels, water, and so on.

	AVault \| PC \| Chris Sawyer's Locomotion Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		When Chris Sawyer transformed the construction simulation genre with the introduction of the fabulously successful RollerCoaster Tycoon, the gaming world was absolutely stunned, and imitators sprung up like weeds as a result.
		However, few remembered that prior to this blockbuster he developed Transport Tycoon (published by Microprose), in which you built a variety of transportation networks linking cities and industries together.
		So as soon as he had spare time on his hands, this talented designer returned to his original love, updating and spiffing it up in a manner that resulted in the recent release ten years later of Chris Sawyer's Locomotion (published by Atari).

		In an odd way Chris Sawyer's latest creation is a victim of the very sub-genre he accidentally created, that of the cynical "tycoon' cash-in - from "Zoo Tycoon" to "Casino Empire." Perhaps a better title for Locomotion might have been "Chris Sawyer's Tycoon Tycoon."
		I could proabley forgive chris for not updating the graphics in the last ten years if the game play was greatly improved but I personally think it has gotten worse.
