News / Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Micro Madness! Wait, what?

Christmas Newsflash

Previous editions:

We're nearing the end of the year, and we'd like to use this opportunity to profess our gratitude to all users (and lurkers!) for sticking with us for yet another year - two decades now, as was celebrated with the 20th Anniversary event, which culminated in the wonderful Head-2-Head Classic contest, which saw many veterans return after lengthy hiatuses. It has been a good year.

The staff of New Element wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year - may it be filled with love, good health, peace and RCT for all.

New Year, New Contest

More than four years on since Micro Madness 3 in 2019, the next iteration of the contest comes to NE's shores. Will Cocoa fight to retain his championship title? Will we see the another breakout performance from an unknown face? And will the ever-evolving meta see another jump in detail levels as we compete to cram as much content as possible onto a minute plot of land? All of these questions and more are waiting to be answered. The classic format remains largely untouched, with some small tweaks to the rules. So what are you waiting for? Sign up today!

Mahoning Gardens

Ever since Westwinds was released in 2015, G Force has spoiled us with a string of increasingly impressive parks. Westwinds led to his first spotlight, Worlds of Fun (2016), and with Adventureland (2017) and Southwinds (2019), he also developed one of the community's most distinctly recognisable styles. Three years since Southwinds, G Force brings us another solo release, firmly cementing him in the pantheon of American Realism. Presenting: Mahoning Gardens.
