    Awesome. It's finally approved. My first LL park after I did some testing around.

    It's fully made without codex and I only used zero clearances because I still haven't got hacking down. I once started playing around with the martian landscaping along with mushrooms and kind of liked how it looked. Then I started building more and more and the concept kind of developed itself. I got inspired a bit by all the product placement in Jurassic World. I'd like to say that this was mostly built before Asteroid Fields (I had plans to do the same kind of space race), Area 52, and Morow World.

    This could have probably been a whole lot better. I don't think it's award-winning material but one can hope. I feel like it's a somewhat important part of my LL learning curve and therefore decided to release it. I built most of this with too much of an RCT2 mindset, I believe, which I'm trying to stray away from. This is mostly finished but not as refined because I ran into so much trouble with this map. I wanted to add peeps to this but for some reason I couldn't get peeps to enter my map. Then I got some black-hole-ish thing on the edge of my map and that kind of bummed me out. Heck I wasn't even able to raise water over  plants in the pond.

    Anyway, this post is turning out a bit longer than I thought. I hope you'll enjoy this park. :)

    The whole landscaping with the mushrooms was cool. It did lack content though and I wasn't a big fan of the monorail which went off the map. You definitely have creativity though, and I want to see where that takes you in the future.

    To be honest, I found the story more interesting than the content of the actual map. That's not a bad thing though, you just have a long way to go. Have fun honing your skills! 

     

    I'm also interested in how you got the (010) symbol in the corner and the map edges to glitch out like that. I've only seen that once before, in Indiana Ridge.

    first of all, fuck pdfs. I seem to recall some joke where pdf stands for something virus related. anyway, a text file is just easier

     

    as for the park, was alright. sort of your standard martian-theme scifi, not a whole lot of content. I liked the foliage in the desert bit, but you could have done really interesting things with an alien landscape- instead, its just flat with some rocks.

    Agree with all of your opinions. :)

    Not entirely sure. I think it happened when I tried to lower all grass-landscape with Beast. I've also tried placing the entrance somewhere else, which could be to blame. A lot of stuff went wrong with this map when I tried to do even the most minimal forms of hacking. At one point my water was suddenly orange. Another point all my rides would just close when I'd use zero clearance near them.
