Software-update: OpenRCT 0.5.3

Versie 0.5.3 van OpenRCT2 is uitgekomen, de opensourceversie van RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. Het project probeert zo veel mogelijk op het origineel te lijken, maar is in een moderne taal geschreven, wat uitbreidingen en verbeteringen mogelijk maakt. Het is hiermee vergelijkbaar met bijvoorbeeld OpenTTD en OpenRA. Om het te kunnen spelen, is het overigens wel noodzakelijk om het originele spel te hebben, want het heeft onder meer geluidsbestanden en de afbeeldingen nodig. Dat kan voor een habbekrats worden gescoord bij onder meer Steam en GOG. De changelog voor deze uitgave, die de naam 'Well I didn't vote for you' heeft meegekregen, is hieronder te vinden:

Feature: [#26308] Add all new track pieces to the inverted roller coaster.
