RCT Discussion / Park Updates

Well WoF has hit the object limit. I knew it would happen and am extremely pleased with how much I got done before it, 8cars displays only 7000 objects slots remaining which is the lowest I've ever seen on a park. Not sure what made this happen but I definitely can't complain.

Going to need a 2-3 simple objects made, just a few combinations of quarter tile objects into one large scenery full tile object and stuff like that. If anyone would be willing to help me out with these objects I'd be very thankful.

Oh, and here's an overview:

I'd say its 90-92% complete. Really just surrounding forests and the river rapids theming left to add. If there's space there are few minor things I want to add as well, like midway games and other atmospheric touches. But basically, the actual "Park" itself is complete.

Sweetness! Is the entrance done, or re-done?

Good luck with finishing! Maybe build a slightly smaller park next time, so you can build to its full potential?

Yes, the re-done entrance is finished. Quite happy with how it turned out, saved me some objects as well. Its quite a bit smaller than the original but contains an extra ride, and coaster as you can see. The architecture is a lot more cohesive as well and fits into the park better I think.

To be honest, I've really done everything I intended to do with the park, I don't feel like I've had to cut content out to complete it, outside of the waterpark I guess.

But my next park will most likely be quite a bit smaller, probably in the 80x80 or 100x100 range.

Yeah, the whole hill build diagonally would look better.

Vermillion August update

Spoiler

August 10th 2016 Status: Some solid planning progress after some inspirational bursts over the summer. Seriously considering a just-finish-something approach since I’m having trouble committing to polishing any given area once I get sidetracked with a new feature somewhere else.

Largely the April update still applies: “Slow going as almost universally any progress involves heavy codex work and a lot of thinking. Frightening amounts of re-work are still an issue; doing as much tearing-out as putting-in.”

A sampling of cross-map work recently:

- Turned one of the Hillside lots into a small garage.

- re-re-contoured the sand flats under Kingfisher Races in VA. I’ve raised the water table back to match the rest of the map, so there’s going to be some trench/splash sections. May shoestring a splash if that’s what works best.

- re-shaping a lot of the front half of VA to make the path there work a little better; going to connect up the two bodies of water on either side of the entrance in a way that makes more sense.

- some more initial planning for the waterpark map

- Some planning and layout work for tentatively shifting the highway over to allow more space for the big offramp complex and the poolside seating between Hillside and Bahia.

- tennis courts

Currently there are [7] maps started. The 3 parks are actively being built on, if only in small patches, and four resorts are under construction.

(Map1 - CPLD) Vermillion Escape: 90% Complete, 6/6 Coasters

(Map2 - SVKY) Vermillion Adventures: 35% Complete, 7/8? Coasters

(Map3 - SEGU) Vermillion Resorts - Hillside: 70% Complete

(Map4 - HNSN) Vermillion Kingdoms: 40% Complete, 4/6? Coasters

(Map5 - WLTN) Vermillion Resorts - Bay Shore: 45% Complete

(Map6 - ????) Vermillion Adventures Event Theater: 5% Complete

(Map7 - DZBY) Vermillion's Solero Springs: 0% Complete

Isla Hernando: Released

The Vermillion Resort is the life work of one man, known to the world simply as Hernando. When he first bought a few acres on the riverside, he planted the trees that are still on the property today and turned his orchards into the finest for miles around. Hernando always loved entertaining the folks who would come to pick their own fruit, so he began to add attractions and soon expanded across the river to create a full-fledged boardwalk. Hernando's Boardwalk has grown over the decades into one of the finest multi-park amusement destinations in the world, with rides, shows, and all sorts of incredible experiences for visitors from around the world.

Still nuts, man. Sick if you can release it, and apparantly that is still very much a possible outcome!

Just hit Year 250. Parks nearly done, should be finished end of the month, or slightly into September.

Gröna Lund is probably 75-80% at the moment.

I'm really satisfied with what is there so far.
Worst parts are done. It's soon time to dive into details.

Dear lord Lagom it looks amazing, but are you nearing the object limit?

Thanks Zaiush!

8 Cars says there are 109689 objects left to use, which is a surprise. Not sure how many there really are left, but it's good to know it's still above the 100k mark.

Now that is a big map! One of my favorite projects going on for sure at the moment. I love how you always make the surroundings as well, gives the park more context.
