NE Awards 2022

Due to Micro Madness, which lived up to its name (other than it being small) occupying the community, we did not get around to finalising the NE Awards 2022. Well, better late than never. With help fom several members, a list of nominees was put together, votes were cast, and last Friday in a fun Discord ceremony hosted by Xtreme97, WhosLeon, wheres_walto and Jappy, the winners were revealed. Find a summary of all winners below.

Thrill Point

BelgianGuy is a player whose drive and speed in building full scale realism is near-unmatched, and his last full scale solo, Timber Valley (2020), scored 83.50% and just missed out on Spotlight. Thrill Point (not to be confused with the 2012 namesake) brings the same enormous scale and excellent ride design, and combines it with an elevated theming front, tackling the new meta head-on while doing so. Check out the park below!

 

 

Grand Tour 2023

You could've seen this coming if you watched the NE Awards ceremony closely... But now it's time to actually spill the beans. Three years ago we held the first edition of the NE Grand Tour contest, which was the perfect combination of low pressure building and high quality RCT. Well, pack your bags, we're doing this again. Right now. Read about the contest here, and join Round 1 here!

Old Releases Overview

 

Sometimes, parks are in the database without having a savegame attached. Sometimes, parks should be in the database because they had an official release at some point, but aren't. We regularly add such parks, again for the sake of having a rich and complete database of parks.

 

Danimation spotlights

Adventure Worldk by SirSpud (2000) (LL)

Mountain Town by LastArchAngel (2000) (LL)

 

Others

The Everglades Majest by Micool (2003) (LL)

 

Since a few years ago, we've had the ambition to complete all the pre-NE4 parkmaker pages. Many of the parks that were downloadable on the parkmaker pages, never made it to the NE database, which we are now slowly correcting. Since the last news flash, the parkmaker pages of sacoasterfreak, Mala and Nitrous Oxide have been completed.
