I would argue that it really needs some sort of natural looking rock outcroppings. The Fantasyland and Main Street areas are promising though.

Oh wow, I'd missed this thread. This is really awesome. Keep at it man, anticipating the next update.

Thanks Austin, I've moved on to a different map to fix a lot of the issues I had with the first one. Its a huge step backwards, but its for the best. The new map is able to take things to a higher level as it is smaller. Look for the unfinished map release soon!

I can understand this step disneylandian. A restart can bring a new perspective and new motivation into a project. I did the same with the my spessart park some time ago and it was the best decision i could make.

Absolutely Jonny. The parts I've already finished on the new map are a big improvement over the old stuff.

Well, it was already looking really good, I just can't wait for seeing pictures from the new map!

I really like the work you did on the old map, disneylandian. If you're still working on the new one, I'd love to see it. The old one was really nice.

Brining this screen over from the Dump Place:

Looking good. I would suggest maybe fencing in the two trees to the right of the Firehouse, and maybe using a different fence that the one you're using here. I could see why though, with them having the angles you need for the paths. Other than that maybe you could add some benches along the walkways, bordering the fencing and also add some lamps to give it some minor details. I really love what you've done here, your architecture is really nice, as well as the color schemes for the buildings.

And I have a question - how exactly did you run the trolly track over the path like that (it's been years since I've played this game)?

^its not actual path, its a scenery object that looks like path. that way you can place invisible path over it that's not multiple tiles wide so the peeps can actually get around without getting ridiculously lost.

It is very clean yet bland at the moment. I'd suggest adding benches, trash cans, street lights, and some concession carts. These small little details add a lot to an area like this with so much path. I also hope that you will decide to add peeps to this park. Unlike RCT3, the peeps do a lot for the atmosphere in this game.

change the tracks to mine train, add a few little merchandise carts like balloons and such popcorn and stuff like that, contact me via pm otherwise or aim... I've got some decent mainstreet pictures from disney paris

More decent that those from photosmagiques.com? =D

I'll have to second the others, though. You'll really need to turn up the nifty little details.

Moving at a snail's pace, Fantasyland is finally beginning to unfold beyond the castle:


Brought over from the dump-place:

Loving this, it's got a really lovely atmosphere already. Maybe some flowers under those trees? Also, I know it's unfinished, but benches and lights will improve it no end!

So in the dump I expressed dislike of the roofs' color choices but, having seen this new screen with the path, I redact what I said. />

Throw some flowers in those planters, perhaps?

I agree with Turtle, adding those little things will really help imo. What you already have looks great and is an excellent foundation. I like your tree selection as well, so nice job, keep it up!

Excuse the unfinished bits around the edges as well as the uninvisible track. Still working out the surrounding details.

Revisit the most memorable sites from the many Disney animated classics on the Storybook Canal Boats and the Casey Jr. Circus Train.

To me it all looks a bit too bold and rough to really make up what it is supposed to represent. For the brown head maybe try to use different colours to give the structure more refinement and to make it more vivid.

I think its pretty good (miniatures are damn hard!) but you should get rid of or massively change that black roof on the backside of the rocks, it just looks out of place and unnecessary
