lmao

I LOVE that area with the waterfall- great falls, beautiful little island, and I think the red flowers add that special almost-over-the-top 'flavor' to make it original. The architecture is good enough, but it seems a little bland at the moment.

Imitation is the biggest form of flattery.

Isn't it inspiration is the highest form of flattery?

But yeah, looks nice, but lacks any real spark. Just pretty, but nothing more IMO. The style has been done a lot lately but that does not mean it's completely unoriginal. I'd love to see how the rest of this looks.

Well to put some of these comments in context, there's some of us who've been making RCT parks and viewing them for 6 years now. During that time, there's been a lot of parks that have a similar look to this so while it may very well be new to you, you really have to work very hard to make something that'll be new to someone who's been doing this for 6 years.

I think that screen is actually very impressive. I've seen a lot of stuff like this too. Green trees, rocky cliffs, waterfalls, vaguely romanish buildings, and lots of flowers. There is something about this though that impresses me more than most of the things I've seen with this style. I think it's your sense of composition. For one thing, it's just a really good screenshot. The waterfall is what's most eye-catching in that screen and it isn't placed in the center, but rather off to the side. The cliffs are well balanced in terms of their placement and the buildings sort of curve around the top. The photographer in me respects that as a well balanced frame.

As for the work itself, there's certain things here that I look for. It doesn't look like you're just building the same building over and over again which is good. The walkway is very well done, not too wide or narrow and with some trees and rocks breaking it up. Not overly symmetrical. You've got bushes along the coastline which always looks nice and you left the cliffs bare which I think was the right choice here. For a realistic style, this is very well done. I'm guessing you've been doing this for awhile.

It's look like you've got a good grasp on natural looking theming. I'm curious how good your coaster design is to go along with it.

thanks for all the comments!
I know I'm not very original with this style but maybe I can be more original in other area's of the park. For now I'm working on this area and I think you can expect a update soon. I'm not German btw, I'm Dutch.

ahahahaha, not true. ~waits for wme to reply~

I knew it .

I like the screen. The archy is quaint and it has a good atmosphere to it.
My only real complaint is those red flowers. They kinda ruin it for me.

Hi guys,

I got some time to work on the park, the screen shows a kart track going through a mountain. The red flowers are still there I have to see if they stay or be changed into another color.



Sorry for the bad quality of the screen.

you've got landscaping down cold but i think you have to work on your architecture. the little 1x1 or 1x2 buildings arent bad but you should expand on them more or it will get repetative pretty quickly. it seems like all the buildings look the same.

I agree completely with you, Yeshli. Everything looks great but the 1x1 and 2x2s could be expanded. Also please do change the color of the red flowers to more of a purple or pink or even blue or yellow. I am really feeling this atmosphere here. Especially around the docks. Nice work.

I don't agre with yeshli, but strictly for this screen. I mean, how the hell are you supposed to have buildings bigger than 2x2 on such a rocky landscape? The station, for the karts I think, kind of makes up for the smallness of buildings on the mountain side. Also look at that 1/4 style building. Good work at making it seem bigger than it really is (as in being built into the rock face).

I also wouldn't change the flowers either. Why? Because the colors in the screen, the textures you've chosen, and the folliage (though it could use different trees) all make for a very classic feel that I think should be cherished rather than screwed over by some nasty and unfitting purples or pinks, an overload of yellow, or a blue that wouldn't even match.

I would however, change the colors of the cars on the go-karts to fit the rustic, kind of mediterranean theme.

Only problem I immediately notice is the door on the thin wall towards the middle of the screen. Change the color of the 'floor' inside of it to brown, though, and you have it fixed.

These screens are growing on me, especially now that I've been converted to the 1 x 1 school of architecture, not that I'm sure anyone else is, actually, a member. I just don't see the point of massive architecture, in most cases. 1 x 1 x 2 = 10 x 10 x 10 feet,. Now, while you'll certainly need more than that, do you really need every room to be 20 x 20 x 20 feet? Do people actually build like this, anywhere?

Especially when you're "gigacoasters" are only 120 feet tall, or less...

Whatever.

The screen is nice, and I like that you're using 1 x 1 architecture. Otherwise, though, nothing really amazing, and I still stand by my first comment, to a degree...

For your first park advertised at NE, it's brilliant.

Your landscaping is solid and I like the way in which the go-karts run through the rocks. However, change the floor ccolour of those blue doors to a light brown shade, then it'll be a lot quainter (sp?) The red flowers are starting to really grow on me, but a yellow colour would be much nicer IMO.

Otherwise, it's all lovely.

Actually, I think the red flowers are perfect. I just think that there were too many in that first screen.

eh, I still think the games "stock" red flowers are about 10X better.

Otherwise I like this, it seems to have more thought put into the details. I agree with jon on changing the colors behind the doors to a light brown (tan) rather then the yellow they are now. Some bigger architecture wouldn't hurt, but with the landscaping this isn't the place for it.

Nice job, I don't hate it anymore, now make me like it.
