(Archive) Advertising District / Project Oasis

Over the year I finished 2 parks and both were just "okay" in most eyes which is understandable. Actually I finished up with Elegent Hills a lot quick than everyone thinks. When I advertised the new layout for Flumination, I was actually done with the park .

But I have been praticing and messing around with scenery for a little over a month now. And I have come up with this. It just the entrance for the park. Sorry the screen does not show any rides of some sort but im just showing the entrance. Let me know your thoughts on how it looks and if its atleast better then my past work. Park is 120x120 btw...

I'll like to thank Artist and Turtle for the insperation of the park. You guys pretty much sparked a fuse in my mind, lol. But yeah, I am going to take a little step out of the realism circle and see what comes up.

Heres the first screen that I have come up with. I know it's not much but it should be able to tease. Hope you all enjoy...

Thanks

- First off, i think your landscaping and foliage is good.

- Maybe a little statue on each of those pink 1/4 blocks on the building on the right?

- im not too crazy about the green/orange walls on the lower left. i dont know what other colors to suggest though

- im def not a fan of the paths, you need something that stands out a little less

The orange and green castle walls on that bottom building look not only unrealistic, but fugly, and the red bamboo would look better a shade of brown.

I don't like that combination of paths....but everything else seems okay.

Looks ok...
The paths aren't that bad, but I don't like the fact that you made it like randomly mixed. What I have to admit is that you've improved your architecture skills, although I think that you could still add some more details to the buildings. Anyway, you're making better structures...that's good, hope you keep doing it. The foliage is just ok, nothing special to say. What I don't like is the dull green and orange building, it stands out too much.
Looks interesting. Keep going man.

^exactly

I like it. I just don't understand why you'd use a path that doesn't contrast with anything else you have. Especially the gray. Try using the crazy path (one that looks like rock). Also remove the dark brick and the odd orange/green walls on the lower left building.

I love the main entrance building, i can't say why though i just really like it.

I think the foliage could use some work, try not to use the thin 1/4 tree and put in some palms.

the path yells very angry bright orange things at me.

please make it stop.

i really dont like the colors. they are very blahhh. they arcdhy looks good but still alittle blocky and the texture seem to clash. i like the pole parts though. i must say my least favorite part of this park is the path awnings over ht entrance to the main building. they feel very LL to me. im not saying anythin gagainst LL but if your dioing an RCT2 park try to keep it RCT2. i feel that path awnings just dont transfer well between the two styles. it definatly looks like an entrnace. just make it flow alittle better and add some color. keep up the good work

You said you were going to change the path and the green/orange colors, so I won't say anything about that. Everything else looks good though, except 2 things IMO.


The pointed roof using the path looks kinda weird with the wood showing on the bottom. I'd just stick to roof blocks instead of path.

The wall circled in the middle just seems kinda plain compared to the rest of the screen. If you could use a different type or color wall, or even some 1/4 tile blocks to make it look more 'full', it would look better.

Other than that everything looks great. Nice start.

^ you ever seen an LL park before?

^Yea but in this situation it just sticks out too much. In LL it looks good because you're limited to the default objects. In RCT2 you have a huge selection. I'm sure he could pull off something much nicer. Just my opinion.

personally i lke the path rooves in that instance, i think they add a bit of the tropical theme the proect name implies in an otherwise brick-dominated screen.

yeah, I like 'em

Thanks alot guys...

All right here is a new screen. Hope you enjoy it and please comment wether good or bad.

that wooden coaster roof would look good in another theme, but not herr

It's looking great. In the second picture the only thing I can suggest is changing the coaster roof towards the top. Maybe you could make it like the other red roof towards the bottom.

Trying WAAAY too hard with that coaster roof. Just does not look good at all. What's with the random fences too?
