Having recently finished my study, the nostalgic feelings of Railroad Tycoon 3 are still calling me, together with all the fun times I've had with friends playing the multiplayer.
Unfortunately the first matchmaker (or lobby) did not work as good as intended, which was mostly caused by the poor design choice of using Java for both the server and client. Being frustrated about having to rewrite the whole thing, I abondened/forget about the project.
But here we are, 5 years later (I hope there are people that are still playing this game), and I started working again on this multiplayer lobby from scratch. I just need to get Railroad Tycoon 3 multiplayer working again to finally find peace..

This new version I am working on will be easy to install and will support the Original, GOG and Steam versions of the game. Right now I am putting the client together, and almost all basic functionality is completed. Very soon I will release the first version, but in the meantime check my teaser website at http://railty3.herokuapp.com/. Feel free to join the Discord as well to keep updated about the progress and find people to play with!
