I dont like that blue abstract building.

What the h is up with the logo? Is it like, sperm, trying to get out of/into the egg?

Wow, you fucking suck.

thanx for the compliments...idiot...im just trying to improve my game...

Okay, don't even listen to Alpengeist...

I think that it looks pretty good myself. I like your use of bright colors, but I think that in order to establish any credible atmosphere, you need to stick with a smaller pallette. For example, the blue building looks nice to me, but I don't think that color necessarily fits in with the rest of your entrance. The style of the buildings also differs from spot to spot- I mean, you've got traditional awnings and lights, but at the same time, you've got these (cool-looking!) wavy roofs. They don't match... just stick with one particular style and run with it.

Be sure to fix the entry arches over the paths- they don' seem to have much support! I also personally don't like any of the RCT-supplied flowers with borders, the statues, or the trees on the dirt in the middle of the paths. The logo is kind of "iffy" as well. But that's just me personally.

I like what you have so far, so keep working on it, and keep improving!

dude...i like ur sig...^

Its pretty good. There's nothing there that makes me say wow, and the archy is pretty boring. It still looks fairly nice with a good idea. It looks like you have the right idea but you might execute ur ideas the wrong way. good start, keep trying.

R.A.S

Wow, you fucking suck.

Don't even waste your time.

It's not bad, but not good either. You need to make it better by adding some 1/4 stuff to vary it up a bit...I don't like that abstract building. Try to make your own style...right now it's looking very average, with nothing that makes you say "wow".

the shapes are wholly uninteresting...

also, don't leave buildings unfinished, like in the second screen.

Your color choice is so random that it destroys any atmosphere you might have had. Yet, if you had stuck with an actual color scheme, the buildings themselves would have been too boring to make the atmosphere worth having. Funny little catch-22.

Atleast your layout makes sense, nice going there. Subtle elevation change is a must, so you're on the right track. Don't get caught buildin "squares of buildings" though, this aint simcity damnit. UN-straighten your paths.

The pebble paths are overwhelming. Straighten out your colors.

Looks pretty damn spicy to me. Reminds me of a colorful Mexican village. Speaking of colors, love 'em. You use them very well in this park, they vary but stay with a coherent theme, well done on that. Nice use of roofing, they all have different shapes, sizes, and elevations. I personally like the pebble path and don't think it's all that overwhelming, but that's just IMO.

Overall, I like it.

thanx for all the comments guys.....well...i g2g pack...im leavin for NYC in a few hours...and i live in florida... ...lol...

u:PDATE...hey...im back...just wanted some comments on my progress...i ditched West Pointe...the fishing village for an islander/tribal theme...Laguna Azul...it has a large B+M Inverted "Totem" and a smaller kiddy coaster "Tiki"....my attempt at tiki men is questionable...i dont know if theyre good or not.....well....heres some screens...

comments pleez!

The colors or the coaster are a major eyesore. The architecture is interesting, to say the least, and the colors clash way to much. Everything looks scattered, and not very well planned out. Also, I wouldn't use those scenery letters, as they look out of place.

Overall, this just isn't very good...
Keep at it, and you'll get better.

i really like it over your first park but it still needs fixing up. one thing is the colors evn though its prbably suppose to be like that its kinda hippie but that dont bother me it might bother other people though. looks good awosmeweird archy.

Sparker

Haha, awesome! It looks like Crayola decided to find a brown park and rape it.

Seriously, though, I like it. It's very unique and and in a weird way reminds me of an extremely simple JKay park but without the JKay architecture. This will certainly be an interesting park. I can't wait to see it develop. Keep building!

Don't even waste your time. 

Ok you are right, that was a bit harsh, sorry bout that Adrenaline

All I'll say is that make your mini coaster slightly more interesting by maybe going to the other side of the path and then maybe going under the path and THEN into the station. You other coaster needs to be s p r e a d o u t more, not all bunched up because it's scared of its own color scheme. Also, where the coaster comes out or (or goes in) the ground, make it so that it doesn't seem that the water will start spilling in if a miniscule flood happens or something.

Haha, awesome!  It looks like Crayola decided to find a brown park and rape it.

Oh.... my god. Best post of the day.

About the park, not bad for a start, the colors kind of kill my eyes, but... errr... nevermind, it has grown on me. Just use one color on all the track. The letters stand out ALOT. I'd suggest just using the scrolling signs in the game, or just get creative with 1/4 blocks, if you have them in your scenery selection. Great job so far! Can't wait to see the next update.
