Micro Madness 2023 / MM4 R1 Group O

Verdant Strait: Agree with AVC, love the setting and the hack to get the triple launch to work well - just a tough matchup when Faas' and Mav's entries also had launches and were a lot more substance. But glad to see you participate and look forward to more from you soon.

Faas: This is lovely. Great compact layout and the surroundings are very believable and realistic. Would love to see this expanded upon. Agree with Liam, this style suits you well!

Poltergeist: Love the subtle theming of the foot prints.. really cool details. The station interior was nice as well. Really well composed micro from a seasoned pro.

FK: First thought when looking at this was "wtf lol". Seeing abstract art / Picasso work in this was amazing. You somehow continue to push the boundaries of RCT and really exemplify that it is an art form. As a side note, I would say you, Walto, AVC and Leon are at the forefront of this sort of RCT as art notion.

fk - Goes without saying that the art pieces you did are pretty incredible. It’salways such a treat to get something from you and see how you use all these little pieces like brushes.  Something I really want to commend is the overall composition. I think it’s pretty hard to really find success in this kind of grounded facade and completely surreal interiror with readability and a cohesive flow of each narrative piece. It really feels like a Picasso gallery the way it sort of forms a two sided aisle with the color, but doesn’t feel boxy/comformative how you accentuated it with the coaster to create more whimsical, stroke shapes. Simply stunning

Faas - I quite like this. The layout is strong, one of my favorites and a great choice for teh contest. I really like teh colors all over, and with your clean, sleak style on the station/support  work. Path interaction and livliness are so strong here too, just suhc a nice complete package.

Maverix - I quite like this too! Great layout and supports, fits the plot so well. Two great compact launch coasters this round. Your commitment to realism is always so admirable and inspiring, you clearly know a lot about ride design. I think after crunching the numbers it seems you have the most solo design accolades? What productivity, definitely going to contract you.  Having ridden th real poltergeist clone in SFFT this was a treat and it uses those new pieces perfectly. 

Bmschulz - nother launch coaster, and a pretty nice compact landscape layout. I like the dip off that little cliff into the helixes, probably a really exciting moment for the riders. The mini tophat against the cliff too I could totally see the beautiful landscape extending off that. I like teh way the stream and waterfall cut through the entire ride, it’s a great concept and totally plausible. Would be beautiful IRL. Execution on that triple launch is really nice, impressive how you managed to fit such an ambitious ride concept.

Last but not least, and certainly not least with the masterpiece of Picasso Sour!!!

FK – My first choice and for damn good reason! Your work is a stark reminder how far this game has come. Conceptually I don't think anyone shoots for these things as much as you do... what you create is art, which is pretty ironic with this entry. Highlights for me were the rainbow palette guiding your eyes through the composition as you rotated the map, the cleverly placed artwork from Picasso ending in the final masterpiece that was the Weeping Woman. It was 10/10 for me, there's nothing I would do differently. The only thing I wished, was that you got those extra few hours on the park so this was your favourite piece of work you've created thus far... that would be the icing on the cake.

Maverix – The time it must've taken to get those supports right... loved the ghostly steps leading guests into the ride queue, the theming touches you added to this really sold this for me. I imagine getting very excited for this in a real park. 

Faas – If your next park is full of coasters this good, we're in for a treat. You know I'm a big fan of yours and this was no exception. Great job here, can't wait to see what you cook up next!

Bmschulz – A super nice micro, I think the other three just delivered more in terms of content and gave me more reason to vote for them. Thoroughly enjoyed viewing this. Thank you!
