(Archive) Advertising District / Fatha's super duper get you shit faced Scenario!

  • inVersed%s's Photo
    The way that layout flows with it's surroundings it beautiful. The colors here also look great. The foliage provides this screen with such atmosphere. The architecture throughout this park from what I see is unique and refreshing. Good stuff so far man.

    Sure youve seen a tree thats not green! An orchard tree? Trees that bloom many flowers? Autumn trees? Im not saying that im building this to be realistic, or didnt mean that. Im just building this from a peep's perspective, the themes I choose to do and how I do them don't really relate to that train of thought. In other words, I could build a martian base in this park, but it would still be built in the same manner that I built the others.

    I myself havent thought of hte hedge mazes, will try it.

    A hedge maze would really fit in nicely here. Also, I like the white supports, dont get rid of them, and I like the pink/red/tan trees, but I would still go with about 50% trees in some shade of green and the other 50% the reds and pinks and whatnot, mainly cause the green trees contrast better with the coaster colors, in the same way the white supports do.

    I was thinking of the jungle theme, problem is however that i need to watch the sprite limit because since this is peepable i wont be able to make every section have uber detail, and a jungle one would need mad mad detail.


    ^ sprite limit/ being peepable and the amount of scenery pieces (map data) are not related, Fatha.

    There is a sprite data limit of 10000, and that one refers to the amount of peeps in your park, including staff as well as the amount of coaster cars (if I do remember the last one correctly...)

    Map data refers to the amount of scenery pieces you can build in one park, but it is completely independent of the amount of peeps that can be in the park (sprites)

    So, as this park seems nicely detailed but not particularly so, there seems nothing to withold you ,on these grounds at least, from making a very-detailed jungle theme if you would like to do so, for it does not have any relation to the amount of peeps/sprites in your park. A very detailed Jungle theme could only affect the amount of map data, but not the sprites.
    Don't know (or failed to notice...) how large this park is, but as long as it is not any larger than 130x130 you absolutely don't have to worry either about the map data limit with the kind of detail you have by now and can still feel free to add lots more if you would want that......

    I like the park a lot, and especially the fact that with your work and name you can make so many members enthousiastic about the building of peep-friendly parks (That's great!! I never saw the real fun of just building in RCT without having it not only peep-accessible but also working well with happy peeps and good ratings, so all my parks are like that, although even I , - conforming to NE :lol: - made 2 H2H parks that are not peep-accessible and still had fun building them, so nothing is "holy" :lol: ), but nevertheless I absolutely prefer RCT-Parks being peep-friendly and working great with peeps inside them for many years..

    Think you are doing a great job on that: peep-friendly, and with all the restrictions/problems of using money, and still making such an attractive park out of it.! That's fantastic work. :party:

    Must admit that I don't really like the "Japanese" area at all and was very disappointed about that one.
    Yes, Japanese gardens do have some coloured-trees that are less prevalent in the Western world. And yes, in autumn many of those trees turn from green into all shades of light brown, and darker brown, and darker pink and dark red and create a breath-taking sight......

    Only.....apart from 2 or 3 the RCt-trees (colourable as well as non-colourable) are far too unelegant and plump to represent anything that resembles the trees used in real Japanese gardens, let alone that in Japanese gardens the exact placement is so important to create anything resembling the atmosphere that it cannot be represented by just using the facility of colouring those mostly far too plump trees in RCT without thinking endlessly about what and why and where......and these lined-up tulip-beds would be a sore in the eye of every real Japanese....
    Now, in a park where you are building with money and peeps, I fully understand that cannot be the first priority, so no problem at all.

    I think I love the coaster, and also the white supports seem doing really fine.
    Love this project, and am looking forward to anything that comes up next...

    It's another really nice screen, the atmosphere is there but the individual parts aren't quite working for me here. I think one of the problems for me is that a lot of the trees you have used are just the wrong shape. Like the pink one under the word "Ryu". It's just too round and bushy I think, it would look better as a 'lighter' style tree, more like Chinese Cedar? The poplars aren't really helping either I don't think. And as for the hedge maze idea, I actually really like those flowers you have used, I think they're perfect and i'd even consider throwing a lot more of them in around the normal foliage as a kind of base. This would give the foliage a defining feature to distinguish it from the rest of the park as well, which would sort your problem with the transition between normal and coloured trees.

    Great work as always and I do like the red trees although I'm not sure about the white ones.

    I do have a question though around the money aspect of your park. Prior to the custom objects, most objects were pretty costly thus making it real difficult to add the detail you have in the screen shown. With the advent of custom objects and the ability to modify the cost of that item to as little as $1.00 to build (if I remember correctly), are you making any adjustments for this in balance of cost? Not trying to nit pick, just wondering how you take that into account. You could also just say that you have a great supplier of materials at a super discounted price. ;)

    Anyway. Keep up the good work!

    Maybe you could make the footers underwater. Beside that, nice screen, the queue line add a nice touch to this screen. Excellent!

    Love it. Its so different to any of the Japanese themes out there. Keep this work up because its all incredible.
  • Carl%s's Photo
    Theres alot going on in that screen. All the different aspects of the park: paths/coasters/archy/foliage/etc, all "criss-cross" over/aorund/through each other but at the same time, you can still follow everything thats going on, and thats hard to pull off, so great job Fatha. Only thing I dont like is the white trees. What kind of RL tree are they supposed to be, anyway?
  • jon%s's Photo
    That station is one of the best looking RCT buildings I've ever seen. Stunning.

    And I'll just ignore the trees this time round. I'm tired and can't be fucked bitching about them again lol =] And as a matter of fact, that white tree there works where it is.

    Ok, now you've got me impressed with this thing.
  • JDP%s's Photo
    Not only is your arch amazing but I am loving the vibe I am getting from this. I am also getting a realistic feel as well. To top everything off, I love how you actually playing the game the way it should be played. With all this on the line, I am going to have to say this is my favorite park out right now.

    So, so beautiful.

    Really one of, if not the best Asian theme out there.

    Love it so much. Nothing bad to say Fatha'.

    First legit scenario to win Spotlight? I think so. That helix oozes sexuality.
  • Ling%s's Photo
    Fucking hell. That is all I can say... that is so amazingly done... the archy, the interaction, the details, the way the ride looks, the supports for the brake section (the building side-structure), and everything else that there is in that picture.
  • CedarPoint6%s's Photo
    Wow, I really love that finale. That flows so nicely. The whole park is looking good as a whole-- it's very cool how it all comes together with great theming and rides, but still fits in a budget. Great looking park so far.. I love what you've done with it all and I'm looking forward to seeing the next rides you'll be adding.

    Actually a lot of the custom objects cost more than $1 to build...the little wooden overhangs cost $8. Also, pathing costs fat more than it would in normal RCT, because I have to lower the land, apply the custom path objects, and actually build the invisible path itself. For one tile of path in normal RCT, it would be $10. For this park, its $31. In addition, the supports for a coaster can amount up to 200 extra dollars if the coaster is large. The cost of a restaurant would be:

    1. Bathroom ($250) + Burger Stand ($350) + Drinks Stall($350)
    2. Benching and Trash Cands ($50)
    3. Theming & Building detail ($100-$200)

    All this adds up to be about $1200 dollars, so placing a shop still takes a lot out of your budget. But yes, even considering the $1 objects, some things still cost more to make thus equalling everything out.

    The japanese area is the best japanese/asian area I have ever seen in rct. Stunning, gorgeous, and inspiring. I keep looking at the screens, and I keep finding new things to love. I'm mesmerized.
