Simutrans 25th Anniversary Video Contest

Welcome, everyone! The first Simutrans Video Contest is about to begin! This is the first time ever we celebrate a video contest, and it is not the only surprise! This year you can also win actual prizes just by participating! Let everyone win! Participation 1 - There are no categories. This means you can choose whatever pakset you want, and also whatever Simutrans version you want (yes, including Extended and OTRP). 2 - You can submit as up to two videos. This also means you can win up to two prizes! 3 - You need to include title for every video. Videos without title will not be eligible! 4 - You have until Januay 15st (inclusive) to submit your video! Theme and guidelines 1 - The theme this year is... Routes! Show us your best routes, for example by following a convoi or different convois. Be creative! 2 - To keep videos clean, hide city/station names and waiting bars. Also, avoid showing non-Simutrans elements such as the title bar. 3 - There are no limits to video size and resolution, but recommended resolution is 1920x1080 as this is the most common resolution. 4 - Video duration limit is 10 minutes, but consider a duration of around 5 minutes. 5 - Use Simutrans music when possible. If you wish to use other music, please check that the license allows for its usage freely. Remember that you can submit videos that do not fit the theme or guidelines just for the sake of showing others your work, but theme and guidelines will be used to select the winners! Prizes 1 - For the first winner ONLY: The video will be displayed on the Simutrans Steam store page, alongside the new trailer. If the version used is not Simutrans Standard the next winner will be considered. 2 - For EVERY participant: You can choose a game* from the following list (choosing will be made in order, starting from the first winner):

* Games are provided as Steam keys. Some keys may be region-locked in some countries; in such a case, you can choose a different game. Voting Voting will be done on a wiki survey (I will post a new announcement when the time comes). Everyone (participants and non-participants) can vote, but you can only vote one time. If two or more videos have the same votes, we will select a winner, taking into account theme and guidelines. Submission 1. First upload your video to a site where we can download it (a cloud storage like Nextcloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc...). 2. You don't need to upload it to a video site like YouTube. You can do it if you want, but we will be uploading the videos to the Simutrans YouTube channel later anyway. 3. You can submit then a link to the video file through the following platforms (don't forget to include title):

The International Simutrans Forum: Posting the link to this thread.
Steam: submitting your videos to the "Videos" section of the community Hub, or just posting the link on the Announcement comments.
Reddit: Submitting your videos to /r/simutrans/
Twitter: Using the hashtag #SimutransVideoContest and mentioning the @SimutransTeam account.
Mastodon / Fediverse: Using the hashtag #SimutransVideoContest and mentioning the simutrans@fosstodon.org account.
E-mail: Send us your submission via e-mail to social@simutrans.com

We reserve the right to decline any submission that does not follow the guidelines and that we believe not enough effort was put into it. Resources If you have never recorded a video before, here are some resources that were used for the new Simutrans trailer video:

OBS Studio: Cross-platform tool to record your screen and applications. Fully free and widely used https://obsproject.com
Kdenlive: Cross-platform tool to edit your videos. Fully free and part of the KDE project https://kdenlive.org

Finally, if you want some examples / inspiration, you can think on something like the video showcased in our last interview to himeshi. [previewyoutube=cg8BO6ULuSY][/previewyoutube] Simutrans 25th Anniversary This is the last of the events planned for the 25th Anniversary. Getting to know better the people and the history behind Simutrans has been such an experience, and the videos and projects done like the trailer or the Simutrans Timeline were definitely fun to do, but also very time-consuming and tiring. I hope you have enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed doing them, and that they were worth doing. And I hope we have many fruitful years of Simutrans to come. At least, 25 more! I need to take some months to rest now, but I'll come back next year with more Simutransing. Until next time, Roboron.

Multiple Choices

Graphics Packages (Paksets)
In Simutrans you have multiple choices from the beginning to the end. Even before starting the game you have lots of graphics packages to choose from, every pakset giving you a different experience and play style.
Vehicles and Cargo
The success of your company will depend on good planning, and we give you the tools for it. Simutrans can have buses, trucks, trains, trams, ships, airplanes, monorails, maglevs and any other vehicle that goes through air, land or water. Choose them wisely and transport the immense variety of cargo each pakset has to offer, from passengers and mail to raw materials and consumer products.

Dynamic and Intelligent

Cargo has Destinations
Simutrans citizens and products don't simply jump in your vehicles and go to wherever you send them. They actually have individual destinations: people want to check out attractions, go shopping, or visit friends. Products also have their destinations - factories have contracts with each other and they won't sell or buy from anyone else. If you don't give them the possibility to go where they want, they simply won't use your transport company.
Complete the Chain
Transporting products not only gives you money, but makes the economy roll. As you transport products between factories, they start producing and selling. Every factory receiving the materials it needs starts producing new goods letting you connect more and more factories across the region.
Influencing Cities
Your transportation affects city growth. Every unit of anything you transport will affect the nearby cities making them grow and prosper. Sometimes cities will create new attractions and places of interest, which attract a lot more passengers. Or maybe your service may attract new industries, that give you even more opportunities. But not everything you do leads to good things - as cities grow more cars are on the roads, and you will end up trying to deal with the traffic. What you do shapes the future.

Control and Customize

Configure All or Nothing
Simutrans has a lot of configurations that you can customize. If you're not a customization freak, don't worry, generally with a few options Simutrans will fit your play style. But if you are, you'll enjoy all the options and ways to change the game.
Build Your World
When you create a new game, don't expect it to be a fixed world. You can shape the world to suit your needs, build roads, factories, houses, and buildings, raise and lower the terrain, create rivers, lakes, and seas, or beautify the world by planting trees.

How You Play

Multiplayer
Tired of playing alone? Simutrans lets you play multiplayer. You can join a public server and compete and collaborate with people all around the world. You can also play with your friends creating a private online or LAN server.
Hardcore or Casual?
You can challenge yourself in a normal game, trying to make your company successful and rich. Or you can just relax and have some fun playing with no hurry or money, just for your enjoyment and the satisfaction of transporting everything.

Cost

This game will be Free on Steam.

Languages

Simutrans offers a range of languages, translated on a volunteer basis. Languages will be listed on the steam page when they reach at least 80% translation of Base Texts, and 65% translation of pak128.
