Transport Tycoon Infinity

Transport Tycoon Infinity is the first game of Sawyer's Tycoon series for the PlayStation 4 set in the fictional world of Edethia and features JRPG elements; and characters and towns from different games (mostly JRPG franchises).

Summary
You are in charge of a transport company starting in 1850, and your aim is to build up an empire of trains, ships, lorries, planes and helicopters to dominate the world of Edethia, with technological evolution to be taken into account.

Gameplay
You play as the Transport Avatar (The name and appearance are fully customizable by the player) of your own transport company (The name is customizable by the player). At the beginning of the game, you started in a small town called Ored. The whole fictional world of Edethia includes hills, mountains, oceans, rivers, lakes, bridges, industrial facilities and a lot of small towns and cities. It is up to you to use transportation to dominate the world of Edethia.

You begin by providing Ored and another town with road vehicles, building a vehicle depot somewhere next to the road, and setting up bus stops in both towns. (Initially, there are just a few models available, but more buses appear with later time and technology), set its schedule, and watch as it goes between both bus stops, taking passengers and unloading them, earning you money, experience, research and transport points.

As time went on and technology evolves, You can start also transport passengers by building train tracks, subways tracks, sea ports, or airports and then buying appropriate vehicles - trains, subway trains, ferries, planes.

If you set up a station next to an industrial facility (such as a factory, a power plant or a farm), you can also transport a variety of cargo, such as coal, livestock or wood, which allows you to earn much more money than transporting passengers. Of course, you'll have to buy special lorries and trains that can be suitable for freight if you'll want to deal with these. Most businesses offer certain types of cargo and are ready to pay for transporting other cargo to them; for example, a steel mill has a lot of steel to fill your cars, and will gladly accept iron ore if you have any.

The Transport Avatar isn't alone in his/her endeavors, either. In most cases, The Transport Avatar will need to compete against multiple rivals who will try to take business away from him/her. The Transport Avatar can choose many tactics to beat them, from increasing the number of vehicles assigned to a town, sabotage their rival's infranstructure, facility to placing blockades on competing company's railways or if available, merging the rival company to the Transport Avatar's company.

The game is shown in 3D enviroment powered by Unreal Engine 4. An icon bar at the left of the screen allows you to bring up the map, see the stats, or construct anything.

Transport HQ
Transport HQ is a customizable base of operation. Transport HQ is a gathering place for the player's transportation and certain events can be triggered by the characters there. These events refresh every time a map is completed or certain time in the real world has passed. Transport HQ is mainly viewed from the main game with the Transport Avatar portrayed by it's building, however, they can toggle their view to see the HQ from a 3-D third person perspective. Characters in the Player's transportation can also be found wandering in the area and can be interacted with for a variety of events as well as unique dialogue depending on the time of day. In order to build and upgrade facilities, players need to acquire Transport Points by accepting subsidies offered by local authorities and special events. All features and upgrades requires that the player reach a certain chapter in game in order to use.

Transport HQ also serves as the main hub for TransportPass. Players are given a Transportation and Visitor Ranking. Anytime a player TransportPasses any player will receive a visitor Transport Avatar. Players can then visit their Transport HQ and make usage of their facilities, including their Resources.
