(Archive) Advertising District / Marriott's Project "Triple X"

Jazz just doesnt get what you are going for, James.

too many fucking kids on this site, the very notion of CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is mystifying to them.

P.S. - I mean no disrespect to jazz, I just mean in general.

Some advice that I've learned is that if you can't accept criticism, let alone constructive criticism, you shouldn't be advertising. I'm not directing this at you RCTNW, I'm just saying this about advertising in general.

For one second, I thought that it was an irony...

well why would you say it at all if you weren't 'disrespecting' Jazz? This topic is for commenting on RCTNW's park, not expounding your views on the character of it's readers.

Irony is lost on you.

Now that the constructive criticism debate is over, lets get back to the updates:

Construction on the park is moving along and nearly all of Yankee Harbor is now complete. Below is the latest attraction "White Water Falls"


I'm planning one more update for this park prior to the official release.

James - RCTNW

i prefered the other screen you showed on the fusion website but it's still awesome. I love the use of the posts on the corners and the train interaction is magic!

Yet another classic rapids ride from James, the master of them imo. Looks absolutely great. Like the interaction with the train in there too... cannot wait for the release.

WWWWWOOOOOWWWWW! this is an amazing park. this gets not an omg, but a PMG!

Beautiful. But I think you could tone down the white around the rooves - it sticks out a bit.

I really like the look of it, especially the railway interaction. My only gripe is somehow, the architecture doesn't really work for me, its not the textures or colours, I think its the forms and (this is really hard to explain) they look really "forced" to fit around the rapids or something. Hard to explain.

Great work though James!

It looks really good, but the one you showed at Fusion looks even better. I love the way the train interacts with the rapids. Keep it up!

That's my favorite screen so far... The colors and textures are really working well together.

Beautiful!!

Beautiful, I can't find anything to critise. Well done James, great screen, and hopefully the park will be released soon.

the sheer magnitude does it for me....the last rapids are enormous in that screen, but you still make them look small and detailed. hope that made sense. It's absolutely incredible....the train going through is a great touch too!

It's not brilliant by any means, but it's certainly a large improvement from the previous screen. It has some nice ride interaction and a pleasant, natural atmosphere, but I don't think it's much more than that.

Still decent work, however.

one of my favorite parks out...

I like the landscaping, and the foliage is also nice, it kinda creates a pleasant atmosphere. The layout of this park is looking very interesting...and I like the fact that you're keeping the traditional feel. I'd just like to see some more details on the buildings...I mean, more elaborated structures. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing more...keep the good job up.

^ Thanks for the comments however I’m not sure what you mean by more elaborate buildings? Are you referring to the details on and around the buildings or the actual shape of the buildings.

This is a tough balancing act with this area in that the area is called “Yankee Harbor”. Think of it as a small fishing town with older wood buildings. These buildings are designed to be kinda plain in appearance. Although this is not a recreation of the real park, I am trying to stay true to the concept of the park/area and I really don’t want to go overboard with the details just because it looks good in the game.

Thanks
James

Don't add anymore details to those buildings and don't you dare change the white. The white gives the highlighs the excellent architectual forms present and give the whole area a little bite. The whole scene is quite elegant from my prospective and elegance scores big points with me from time to time. Oh, I just noticed some gaps in the fences though, get that sorted out because that doesn't work so good (with the footbridge there, and yes it is possible to make them slanted like that, if need be I'll do a tutorial in the "ask the experts" section for you).

The rapids ride itself looks good enough from here, though I frankly can't see enough of the layout to say if it's really good or bad. Excellent atmosphere though, very commercial yet classically amusement park. Like new and shiny but still in debt to the seedy parks of yesteryear, just like all the coorprate parks (like the Great Americas) were at one time or another (if they didn't grow out of an old place).
