I'll get it to like 93% by some time early to mid NEXT month... I think you can handle the other half of that remaining 15%, that is unless you feel the need to rework big portions of it, and I wouldn't blame you though I don't recommend it.

Sounds good to me. I don't think I will rework major portions of it, but there are a few things I would like to set straight. I think that on the most part I will keep it as it was when I originally built it.

Mekki-Maru - Taki

Taki began her journey when her fascination grew in Soul Edge, the evil sword that resonated in the presence of her beloved sword Rekki maru. As a Fu-Ma Ninja, her specialty was the extermination of demons. She possessed exceptional fighting skills and excelled at forging weapons, which made her a valuable asset to the Fu-Ma clan. In fact, it was she who battled and defeated the dread pirate Cervantes, who was possessed by Soul Edge.

After returning from her long journey, Taki attempted to fuse a fragment of Soul Edge into the demonic blade, Mekki-Maru. Much to her surprise, the Mekki-Maru began to surge with even more evil energy, making it difficult for even her to handle the sword.

Taki saw that the leader of the Fu-Ma clan, Master Toki, became obsessed with Mekki-Maru. She deemed that it would be dangerous to hand the sword over to him, and left the clan. Thus Taki became a renegade ninja.



Toki, however, would not give up so easily. He sent other clan members after her in order to retrieve the powerful blade.

Pursued by her former clan members, Taki decided to destroy Mekki-Maru by pitting it against Soul Edge. She hoped that the two powerful weapons would obliterate one another. Unfortunately, by the time she found Soul Edge, its wielder Nightmare had already been defeated by a group of warriors.

How would she destroy Mekki-Maru without Soul Edge? Taki tried to devise another plan, but her secret desire to master the sword grew stronger by the day. The decision was made. She grasped the fundamental skills needed to handle Mekki-Maru during her journey; she just needed to build her mental strength enough to overcome the evil influences of the sword.

Around the time she mastered the ability to use the sword for short periods of time, several Fu-Ma ninjas appeared before her. Unlike previous encounters, these Ninjas did not attack on sight. Instead, they attempted to capture her. Unfortunately for the ninjas, they were no match for Taki; they all fell before her Mekki-Maru. "…I know they were sent by Master Toki…but why would they travel so far to these strange lands to seek me?"

Searching through the strewn remains of the ninjas, Taki came across a metal fragment. Although weak, the aura emanating from the metal was unmistakably that of Soul Edge. The sword was not destroyed; it still existed in pieces.

Taki then realized why the ninjas had tried to capture her. Master Toki was trying to gather information about Soul Edge in order to find all of the fragments. Undoubtedly, pieces of the sword, just like the one she held in her hand, were already in Master Toki's possession.

Knowing the effects that Soul Edge had on those who wielded it, Taki knew she could not let it get into the hands of Master Toki.

Even without the sword, the head of the Fu-Ma clan was already powerful. She was afraid to think about what would happen if Toki acquired the evil blade and received its madness. He could transform into a monster with unfathomable strength.

Taki headed for Japan. She could not allow this impending disaster to occur in her homeland.

On her way back to Japan, she sensed the presence of the evil sword. The metal she possessed began to resonate ever so slightly with the aura of evil.

After she hastily sealed the fragment, she thought about what she should do next. Should she go after the fragments that her former master had, or exorcise the evil sword itself?

Either way, time was running out.


Mekki-Maru

Well, I on't really know what to say about it. It looks nice, and the way you constructed it was very good, Very nice how the ride goes over the balconies above the enrance. The foliage is als very neat. But you the pink?? You ment to make it after a female, but you took it too far here. It's good to see daring colours, bt this is over the top. It still is a very nice building!

:-O Nice update Metro.
As for the screen, not bad. Indeed a quite daring color scheme that I would even be nervous attempting. My only issue with it are the green roofs. I think there are more suitable colors than that green, but that's neither or nor there. The rest of the screen is quite nice, except for a couple of nit picks. The entire building almost seems too symmetrical, which kinda makes me not want to look at it as much as I should. The surrounding foliage also seems too diverse, as I can see at least a dozen tree and shrub selections all packed around the massive building. Still though, not a bad update at all and I'm still really anticipating this release.

I have so much old school love for this park.

The reason behind the colour scheme is that the building is loosely based on this arena that Taki fights in. Apologies for the small picture.



Thanks

Metro

Then where are the pink trees? They would look good here.

Try breaking up the roofing a little more, with more drastic height changes between neighboring rooves?

Not in the workbench i fear

DImport? ^^



Well... I have to say that I like the development.
The new screen doesn't remind me much of SC II, though (I do own it on GC).
I think, I'm missing the cobblestone walls.
There are too few of them in this pic.

Actually, i think i do have them in the workbench. Thanks turtle!

In the screen they look grey there. I like the Green rooves but im not too keen on the pink but from the picture i can see why you've done that. This project has certainly got my atention though.

I really like it, the pink works well with the green, surprisingly. Good interaction with the coaster too, now hurry up and get this finished!!!

How old is that?

^ Only about 2 years...

And yes Metro, I still think it looks good. But the ride inside is the best part.

Hehe, just regenerating interest. Its about a year and a half old. The park is over 2 and a half years old

i think the green is too different from the pink. i'm not sure if it could be pulled off more accurately, looking at the picture, though. good job anyway, it's a very nice building. i'm just not fond of the colors.

hmm, different building but nice, i like it.
