Description
Well, I think it was about time to show something new after about four years. Very much work-in-progress.
But lets make one thing clear, this is one of the reasons I sacrificed earlier work. This is an extension to the FIesta de los Muertos are and on the right you can see a very small part of the Cartoon Carnival area, which is getting a small extension as well. -

Not a lot of fiesta yet other than the flowers on the lifthill (nice!!), but I trust you with the concept. Great little scene!
What's here is nice. End result will be good to look at when all is done. Not sure I like the mill made out of wooden polls but couldn't suggest a better alternative.
This is great.. so detailed, and its not even complete!
Great visual storytelling with the bridge trick track.
Lots of nice details. I like the little water element over the coaster.
It looks very cool, not sure about the name though..
Thanks for the kind comments all (both here and on discord).
Well the fiësta part will be spread through the zone and I'm still busy trying to develop that theme further.
Yeah I might have expected that as a comment (though I didn't realize we also had Mexican members
). I think a little context is needed though. When I started with the area its theme was more a of generic wildwest zone, with the mine train basically being a mine train. The rides were good, but the theming felt too bland and didn't come together for me. When I built a small mexican zone to diversify I was thinking about two other games: Rayman Legends and Guacamelee, which brought me to incorperate the Dia de los Muertos into the theming (a thematic I personally like a lot not just for artistic purposes, but also because I've had to deal with death a lot the last few years and appreciate for what it represents). As such I also changed the naming towards Spanish. Garganta Infiërno has a double meaning/translations (if google is to believed). The first one is Gorge of Hell/ Hell Gorge, which in the themetic refers to the scorching lands and smoking mines (due to volcanic activity) which is the environment I've partly themed the coaster around. So essentially it's the nickname of this fictional region. The second translations is the throat of hell, which once again can also refer to the region, but also to a fictional brand of Mexico's most famous drink. Hence the barrels in screen. So I imagine the coaster in a setting of smuggling tequila through the smoking caverns and landscape. This part on the screen is actually an extension of the original layout and at the start of the coaster.
Okay that was a longer explanation than I was going to give, but in general its a big part of what I do here as ][ntamin22 noted: storytelling.
Actually from all the comments I got here and on Discord one thing stands out from what I'm trying to achieve: conveying the narrative with both the atmosphere as well as the with small details that make it up.
