Nice! Is the set finished yet?

Wow. And I thought RCT2 was detailed... Still, awesome. Does this game have an object limit?

@MCI: not yet http://www.shyguyswo...ic,18404.0.html

@Steve : I don't think so,but ill let seb confirm that

Nope, no hard object limits.

WIP Park, by 72206

Devlog
If you’ve used any Parkitect mods (such as the ones seen in the screenshot above) then you’ve probably used the great scenery sets by Kenney, so we’re very happy to say that Kenney is now supporting us with creating official scenery sets for the game
A lot of time this week was spent on figuring out standards to make sure that pieces from different sets and themes work together as good as possible and follow the same style. The first results are this generic set from Kenney that should work with about every theme:


And Garret made a set of spooky walls during the Art Stream this week:


And we finally added the Spiral Slide ride that Garret made during a Stream a while back:

Devlog Update 87
Pre-Alpha 8 was released on Monday, so we took some time this week to watch people play to see what common problems they encountered and to find the areas that we need to improve most. The time right after a release is also great for fixing long-standing issues and improving old code, because if I break something now we’ve got a couple weeks left until the next release to notice it (on the contrary, doing bigger changes a couple days before release is always a bit scary).
We also worked on giving our website a makeover. Almost done! Won’t go online for a couple weeks though
We added a tilt-shift effect (blur near the top and bottom of the screen to make everything look more like a miniature):


It is disabled by default, but if you want to take some nice screenshots or record videos or even play with it there’s an option for it.
 And we added the Tourbillon ride:


It looks a bit like something out of a science fiction movie, but it is a real ride currently in development. The movement pattern in the game is randomized.

More info on shyguys building set:

 

How freely can all of these parts be placed? Do they all snap to their size, or to quarter tile lengths, or do they have Alt+# freedom?

They ALL have Alt+# freedom and can be raised and lowered by increments of .1 (1/4 high pieces by .05).




The first set of window objects includes a wall with an opening for a small window, a small window frame, small window frame w/muntins, and finally, a complete window with panes. The later can be placed anywhere, on any wall, as seen with the in-game "spooky" wall.



And the muntins (sash bars) only, with & without panes. For those who want a simple window without the bulky frames. These can only be placed on walls with the correct window opening.

Devlog Update 88

Blueprints got a lot cooler this week - they can contain about anything now!
Scenery…


Paths, Flat Rides, Shops…


And any combination of these really, even multiple coasters:


You might remember from last years Blueprint announcement post that unlike savegames they can only store up to a certain amount of data, but don’t worry:



The Pier, by kev-vink

There is a lot of space - you could put entire small parks into it. The above blueprint is only filled to 40%.
You pick the objects that go into the blueprint with a rectangle or individual object selection tool:


We can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with!



Stone Man, by TheDeeGee

We also added new cobblestone and gravel path styles:

That is massively useful.

And hooray for more paths.

That is massively useful.

And hooray for more paths.

 

Agreed,always dreamed of a copy and paste feature for RCT. Now you can easily copy and move an entire area,or move it between half finished parks.

Has this feature been in the the works or did you get inspiration from planet coaster?

Nah, when we added the blueprints half a year or so ago we knew we wanted this and developed them with this in mind.

It actually was mostly working for all that time even. There just wasn't a UI for it yet and a couple things needed a bit of cleaning up, but mods could have already used it if they wanted to. It just didn't make sense for us to work on making this an official feature any earlier since there wasn't enough content in the game to make much use of it.

I wonder if PC will also store them as pngs

love this mod which allows you to place a camera to take screens from a point as you make a park. And then you can place them into a timelapse.

Devlog Update 89

We remade the settings screen:

Apart from looking nicer there’s now a proper way to rebind keys and we’re adding a bunch of new hotkeys. This is also open to modding, so mods can make their controls configurable through this and register their own hotkeys.
The Graphics tab gained options for changing the resolution, which means we can finally disable Unitys default configuration launcher that opened before the game.

Guests now properly head for certain parts of the park even if they don’t own a map, but less frequently than if they have one.

Fences can be raised now (and there’s a new one), rocks received some coloring options, and we added some missing roof pieces:

(Couldn’t think of a proper building to showcase these, heh)

Flat rides can use the “spooky” platform fences that were only used by the Haunted House so far, or you can disable them entirely for easier theming:

We also changed the approach how we’re calculating the excitement rating of tracked rides since the old one didn’t work for dark rides like the Ghost Mansion Ride. We did a balancing pass that should result in some more diversified and fair excitement ratings, but as usual with balancing we’ll see how that works out once everyone gets to play with it.

 

Cool option to remove fences from rides. makes some better themeing options there.

 

 

Parkitect Pre-Alpha 9 has been released

Is this game ever to come in regular alpha, let alone beta and/or final game?

It's just a label, but we'll change it soon once the game goes on Steam Early Access. That'd be what an alpha/beta usually are combined (adding more features until it's feature complete + making sure there are no bugs), so I guess we'll label it "alpha", skip "beta" and it'd go straight to "final" after that.

I haven't been following this super closely - what else is on the list to be added? I assume since it's "pre-alpha" you expect to continue adding core content for some time.

A bunch of gameplay stuff is still missing (some bigger systems haven't been started/talked about yet), more content in general (rides etc), campaign/scenarios, improvements of existing stuff. We'll be busy for a while, yeah
