RCT Discussion / Park Updates

but it took sooo long and i was already pretty happy with the park! just enjoy the download now

I'm in my typical low-activity pattern of opening something up, spending a half-hour just looking around and another fifteen minutes working on a dozen or so tiles, and then moving on to something else. Small bursts of slightly more productivity on the Vermillion parks; see the project page. Doing more revising than new building in several cases across the property right now.

Been working on that UQFTB Giga sporadically; I'd put it at like 75%. Added a giant pentagram.

Friends I have some advice for you

Never, ever decide you're going to plan the highway interchange and parking flow for three parks and four hotels

Goldrush is waiting approval, Not 100% but I was never going to complete it... 

I haven't played RCT in months. Some guy decided to spam a Skype chat i'm in with porn and i haven't opened my laptop since because i absolutely want to avoid seeing it in any way. Only thing left to do would be to delete Skype in safe mode but i'm even too scared to do that, so uhh...

Afraid of porn? Are you human?

The Eternal Empire is 75% complete. Last area will be loosley aztec themed. Reached that point where I can't build anything as I'm constantly unsatisfied with it.

...well you'd probably be afraid too if you'd see the foreign title the file i got sent had. No, i didn't download anything but i did get a notification of it. Enough to make me instantly turn off my laptop.

twist: wouter is actually a member of the islamic state and thinks porn is super haram

 

the major work left- raging spirits theming, rapids theming, imperial hong kong theming (w/dark ride interior) 2nd hotel/resort, downtown disney/harbor, area with earth sculpture. otherwise every area still needs stuff built in it, finished, etc. getting there though.

 

also quite a large space of green left, not sure yet what I want to do with it. if I can't think of anything, just trees. but maybe a waterpark like blizzard beach? depends on my motivation.

Wow, this is further than you've ever been with a park? Don't you dare not finish this. I'll ban you myself if you abandon this. It's about time we got that Cocoa spotlight.

 

Can't you use the large green spaces for park expansions? It might require some awkward path connections, but that contributes to credibility if done well. It can't hurt to have a park section that looks slightly different from the rest, indicating that it was built later.

 

A good water park would be cool too, of course.

The thumbnail makes it look massive.

 

Click on it, oh, it's not as big as I thought it was

yessss.

If you're looking for relatively low-investment stuff to fill the space, there's always additional backstage as well; water treatment and circulation, on-property emergency services, ride maintenance and storage, costuming, catering, etc. In the RCT sense some of those are more interesting to look at than others - a fire department is more exciting than a featureless cast laundry facility - but as parkmakers we choose what bits and peices we show to complete the picture.

 

I'm trying to work some of those logistics-type structures into Vermillion; parking tram dispatch, monorail maintenance building, wharf for water vehicles - but I'm really finding that getting too deep into hyper-realism and modeling HVAC systems and making sure I have an appropriate number of emergency exits or enough parking isn't super fun.  It isn't what RCT is good at, and frankly it is hard work to make things really work - that's why we pay people to do it irl.

 

 

sorry liam, i'm just not sure it'll be big enough to cut it for spotlight  If I'm really ambitious I'll pull out the back side so the map is a perfect square and add lots of... stuff. Idk yet

 

as for park expansions, thats always in the books, I just need to think of something I want to build!

So... I think Sunset Vista is going to be finished by the end of February. I never thought I'd see the day where I could confidently say that. lol

 

And Cocoa that looks amazing.

BGA HAS HIT THE OBJECT LIMIT.

 

THE LIMIT DOES EXIST.

Wait I missed it? I was washing dishes and I missed the object limit?

It was basically rob saying 'FUCK FUCK FUCK' for five minutes straight and me and gijs telling him what to delete.

^

That's what you get for building unnecessary support structures.

Good luck Robbie!
