The new screen looks great. That fire inside the bulidings is really nice, you pulled that off well. You must finish this! Do not stop with this park.

I've seen better. Personally I think its ok. No custom scenery, but it still looks good, certainly a victim of its own age though. Il give you props for continuing despite having no custom scenery, but you shouldnt be using it as an excuse.

If its no fun, cancel. T'sall I gotta say on the matter. :scarface:

This is a long post that I did at 1:30 last night, but the Internet crashed, so I had to copy and paste this morning.

You want some replies? I'll give some replies, stay true to my sig.

Don't you dare pull a John. This is one of the most highly anticipated projects ever at NE. We have been anticipating this park for a long time now, our impatience only kept at bay by your good humor. Look at the thread, it's 31 pages long, and every picture is promising. This was also the park, alongside DTA, that started the whole Disney trend, which was fortunately stifled before it got out of hand. Look at Raoul's park, Walt Disney's Cloudy Peaks. Nice park, maybe Runner-Up worthy, I think it's safe to say that your work inspired that park as a whole. There may be other advertisements, but this is the one that is constantly floating above the rest, the big cheese, the biggest upcoming park right now. If you release it incomplete it will be a big disappointment to many of us, and most importantly, to yourself. So stay the course. Finish this park up whichever way you can. Take a break from it, get someone else's help, anything. This isn't one of those cases in which the beginning material is embarrassing. It looks just as good as Cloverfield Grove, all of it. So finish this park up, and there's no deadline.

Now, on to the screen...

I'd say it looks pretty piratesy. The material gets better as you go down in elevation. Like, the river and the banks look like perfect pirate theming, but there are a few things about the buildings.

The brown building in the middle of the screen - I'm not so sure about the varying rows of windows. The circular windows emphasize the middle of the wall, which is not what you want. I would take those out and make them the same square windows as the top. And the pirate rooving kinda conflicts with the dark brown, but I guess it's OK.

The brown building on the right - Don't have it all circular windows. I would go with the square ones, and not so uniform throughout. You should space the windows a certain number of squares, maybe 3 or 4, apart on each row, so they look kinda offset from each other. That will make the building look more realistic, random yet with an underlying order.

I'm not sure about the geometric structures on the rooves, but I can see what you were going for, and I guess it's fine. About that little lean-to below that beige tower, what's with the stacked whatevers on the left? And I would change the left roof so that they both point toward the building.

That is all. Overall, good job with the piratesy atmosphere. I would say this park is about as good as it can be without custom scenery.

Keep it going.

If you quit this park, I shall never forgive you. If you quit this park, you had better be doing it because you are quitting RCT altogether. Rise to the challenge that is creating a park with no custom scenery. You can pull this off better than anyone.

You should go back to LL. Even though there's no custom scenery in this park, it still is um... ya... pretty sad to look at now. Especially with the two wooden roofs next to eachother at different angles w/o the sides. Horrendous. Ever since the Toontown screens, they've all been .

Wait, I'm actually sure you could do better with custom scenery, and I'd personally go back into the SE to put some in, and update everything, or start over altogether, because I personally think it will make your parks released prior to this Mala like, even the ones you first made when ya got the game trying to beat the scenarios. It's just that... bad.

I'm with Brent0s on this one...


Looking back now at the screens, they look blocky, uninteresting, and drab.


But, I guess it's still a nice park for what it is...


Just not very interesting.


...sorry?

LOL. My LL stuff sucks.


Meanwhile, thanks for playing to my plan and getting worked up over my threatening to cancel the park. You've been X'ed!

Okay, so maybe that was lame, but whatever. Those who've known me for a while should know that I have an interesting sense of humor and that I'm a master of psychology. Anyway, the only thing that will stop this park is
(1) Time
(2) Sprite Limit
I can do nothing about either, but rest assured that I'll work on it when I feel like it.

In the meantime, comments like Panic's certainly won't hurt.



Now, to be a bit serious: Thanks for still caring, guys. It honestly does give me some lift, and I appreciate it.

Maybe I should pull a John or something.

Damn you... how did this sneak by me unnoticed? Oh yeah, that's right, all the useless crap floating around...
I love how cancelling a Disney park is named after me. Thanks for the honor. I like it alot.

I personally love the screen. I love the whole park, infact. It is beautiful, and it'll definitely show your commitment and endurance to finish it. I know that I couldn't have lasted. But then again, I didn't get past Mainstreet, U.S.A. This is, and has been, the most anticipated work on NE for me since you started it. It inspired DRR, which would have been seen by early layouts (reformatting prevents this) which I basically copied it. You inspired me, and you keep inspiring me by continuing with it, no matter how hard it may seem, no matter how out of place it might look without custom scenery, it is still great looking in my eyes. This is a testament to your abilities as a parkmaker, and I just cannot wait until it is released. If you disappoint with an unfinished release, no more praise from me at all. Ya' hear me over there? Catchin' my drift?

I think the Pirates screen is great, man. It's definitely exactly what that scene of the ride can best look like in RCT. Custom scenery is just overkill anyway.

Oh, a question: Are you going to put a roof on the building, or is this ride outdoors?

im not really feeling a pirate feeling in that screen. it looks like a little pirate mixed in with a little western theme. make it more pirate looking.

I really love the feeling of that screen. It looks wonderful. I have definitely NOT lost interest in this project. It's been my No. 1 most anticipated park since it was born. Please keep building and don't pull a John. This park and Euroscape prove that you don't need customscenary to make a great park. I really REALLY need it though because I suck.

It's indoors, but I'm going to leave it open so that you can see it. I've surrounded the edges with raised land that act as the "walls" of the attraction building, but this, as with almost all my dark rides, will have an imagined roof.

Thanks for the great comments, guys! I honestly did need a little booster to get me motivated again, rather than wait until who knows when, LOL.

You guys all rock, even those who don't like the screen.

I think you should release two versions of the park (with and w/o roofs). That way, those of us who want to get a feeling for the true nature of the park can explore it how we best see fit...(Grammatically I think I just butchered that sentence)....

Anyway, Your Pirates looks 1000 x better than the one I made for DTA. Cheers. It's a tough ride to pull off effectively.

This is currently my #1 most antisipated park since RoB is done. It's amazing and you're the best RCT2 parkmaker, BAR NONE! I love (or at lease like) every screen. Amazing. If all else fails cover 1/4 to 1/3 of the map in water... It'll quicken the park and help avoind the spite limit.

rock on!

OMG... it's like you can read my mind...

NO really though, IMO, and some other people agree with me, it would be ALOT greater with custom scenery, I looked at the park when I was first starting... I was amazed, but then I knew nothing of custom scenery back then...

But whatever you do, please don't cancel the park, even though SOME of the buildings are not-so-good-looking, it is still good...

Okay I had to get that post out... back to being on a RCT vacation...

Thanks for the bump.

And to those who want CS, sorry, but this is sort of a personal goal/test to see if I can make something nice w/o CS. No disrespect intended to Butterfinger, but I think I can make WDE a lot better than Euroscape in the sense that the map as a whole doesn't get repetitive quickly like Euroscape did for me. That's a key in my project.

Face facts Corky, this park sucks Give it up and get to work on something with custom scenery....

Give it up and get to work on something with custom scenery....

...dont encourage him...he might acually do it...
