Too much brown! LOlZZzzz

But seriously, my only gripe about it is that a bit too much of the back-half seems buried.

Love the new one though, show us that

Loving the architecture as usual. Not much else to comment really but do show us the updated version... harhar!

Updated**




I don't want to show finished screens because it will ruin your first look at the park, if that makes sense. So in light of that, don't take in everything from my screens because they are only there to give you a 'sense' of the park, things will and have changed.

i love the quartertile land work.

Love it. The lighthouse as ive noticed before is packed with details and the 1x4 landscaping is beutiful. Love this project so much.

Very nice, I would happy violate that screen with or without your permission. The use of the bins up the top of the lighthouse is good, i also like the quarter-land tile work with foilage at the base. Nice one.

It looks great, as always, the only thing I'm concerned with is the really flat dirt wall along where the track goes in the tunnel. Try to make it not so flat. Also I really hope something will be done to support the entire turn instead of it resting on water.

I didn't notice those were trash bins untill Xsi pointed them out...incredible.

I really like it, although I think the coaster is too close to the water really. One height mark up would be nicer. As most have said, that landscaping is terrific.

tracidEdge: Thanks!
J K: Thanks although the window colours will probably change.
X250: Lol thanks.
Geewhzz: The flat dirt wall i was going to indent a bit using 1/4 blocks although i haven't got round to that yet, if only there were 1/8 landblocks......... The supports will be done eventually hehe, also see below.
Turtle: Yeh it's ( it was) an upward helix but i've just raised it one and kept the whole helix level now.

astounding job on the lighthouse! about the sand beneath the entrance to the tunnel....actually, it might look okay with foliage

Wow, you are like ultimo colour chioce man! Looks really nice, can't wait to see more of it.

I like it...it's a little structure, but with the perfect detail level. The 1/4 landscaping is also well developed. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of this great park. Keep us updated please.

Update:

Whilst construction goes on with my solo, I would upload old pictures again seeing as all but 1 link still works. The reason for this is because I'm nearing the next proper update which I'm sure some people are excited about. All I'm going to say is that it's not the same area as all the screens below (previous ). Anyway onto the screens!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Here is the earliest picture I have (besides the save games) This was the 1st or second development of this area. I always end up redoing older buildings until I'm satisfied, which you will see at the end of this post. This is probably the only finished picture i've posted in this topic. For an explanation of unfinished screens seek further down the post.


This is an image most of you have probably not seen unless you were in Fusion or on my AIM/MSN, although you should recognise the lower building from a later post. The building next to the waterfall was one of two 'gatehouses' to the entrance of the this forgotten realm. They were both rotated to either side of the bridge after this was posted.


A very early concept for my Diver which was quickly changed. I was going for a ruined them obviously, but I decided to try a different approach.........


The only released picture of the old station which changed afterwards, but no screen shot of save game exists.


The old layout, which can be found on the previous page of the topic but I thought I would bring it forward with the rest. It was timed that when a car plummeted down the first drop, a car would crest the diagonal curve (coming out the volcano) only to have the initial car reappear when that one descends. It was very entertaining to watch.


Here is the updated version of the building shown previously. Not much changed just the location in the game.


The unfinished screen shot of the Sky Swat, which was finished shortly after I released the screen shot.


The 1st iteration of the lighthouse.


1st Fiesta screen. This was after the major revamp of the bench objects, which I did again when Gee released his bench.


2nd Fiesta screen. Same as above but showing slightly more.


3rd iteration of the lighthouse. The track is now finished but the screen is about the lighthouse and not the coaster.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And finally onto some before and after shots. Here are two buildings that have seen some improvement which allows you to see how i've progressed as a parkmaker and perhaps how I approach my buildings.

Building 1:

Originally I lifted the building from my Black Mamba design. It is a toilet block with a secondary story for storage to neighbouring shops. Note that it has changed once again so don't read into it too much.

Building 2:

This building was first shown a few fiestas back but has since been refined into a cleaner and more detailed façade, although the top and foliage are still unfinished. Again it has changed (or at least more detailed).

As with all the screens, a lot is unfinished and there is a reason for this. I don't want to show any finished screens publicly because I think it will ruin the wow effect when you first look around the park. I know a few people will say that's because I haven't finished anything, which is true for a couple of Pictures. I want to get across the atmosphere and feeling of the park so that when you open it it will feel familiar but keep you looking.

Wow thats so realistic
that building is so nice


Building: 1
- the first screen; with the windows of screen 2

Building: 2
- Defently screen 1

Building: 2
- Defently screen 1

I think the second screen is better, but did he ask about this?

i like the color around the top on the first one, but the second one is better otherwise.

^agree with pBOB on that one...

but the rest make me want the park right now; so stellar work, RCTFAN.

Oh yeah, i forgot how good you are at this game.

And i forgot how much i love this park. Gorgeous, all of it.

On the VERY last two screens (the before and after shots), I think the one on the left side is much better. Even though you didn't really change much except for the roof, the triangular point you had on the first one brought a very refreshing break amongst the somewhat square rooftops. Everything is amazing, otherwise. That station is still one of my favourites.

Finish this, and you'll be idolised. Oh, and send it to me, I have something to show you.
