To retain the look and feel of the original game, we use the original game data for graphics and audio. This means it is required for players to have installed their own copy of Locomotion for OpenLoco to work. It can be bought on e.g. Steam or GOG.com.

Will OpenLoco ever become a standalone and independent game?

In theory they (or someone else) could just bundle an open source copy of the assets no different to having a different texture pack in a game.
