(Archive) Advertising District / Bayfront Park

On the first screen, those little cliff things on the sides of the islands. Aside from looking bad, if a hurricane hit the place, those would be more winded. Make some of them slope down to the water, in one corner each or something.

ok i got an update. this is "Hurricane Search and Rescue" the rapids i talked about.



some archy pics and maybe more of this soon.

your treeing is so fucking detailed and perfect. it really holds this screen up, and the hack is nice too. and i love how you go into little details by using zero clearences with the barrels and such. nice work man, i wanna see more

The randomly placed barrels add a nice touch. If you have toon's diagonal paths, and a lot of time, I would see if you could hack it to make the platform more circular. If you use the 8 cars, there's an option that allows you to raise/lower objects on a specific type of land, for example purple checkered land. Somehow, it should be possible to have the diagonal path without the rest of the square support, although I tried something similar and failed in the past. I like how you can see the coaster track underneath the water as it looks like it guieds the boats.

I like the deck where the entrance area for the hurricane is, and how it is made larger because that would be a busier place when open. The building for the rapids platform is simple yet effective, and I woudn't change a thing on it, as well as the hurrican ruins to the right of the screen. The thing I would change, and I know that it would be hard to do this by now, is to stop filling every quarter tile that there is because it makes a lot of your work look the same. Full tile foliage is fine also, let alone just land without anything on it.

It all looks ok but a bit over themed with he mixture of plants and then RCT2ish scenery which is really boring. The other thing that annoys me about this park is the constant use of the word 'archy' that has to the most annoying and psychotic behavior educing word ever........grrrrrrrrr

You really like to hack do you!
Maybe a few different types of trees could be added.

I suggest shortening the name to "search and rescue."

Good screen, as always.

is it just me, or is that longer?

The name you just mentioned for it sounds great. The theming doesn't look too bad to me. The only things you really need to do are

1) Lighten the architecture up alittle. Like that ruin on the right side of the screen for example. That could us a little Crimson (Blood Red, mantis will love you for it) in the roof.

2) Cut the number of Toon's bushes there in half. It will look better that way.

3) Change the color of those rafts to a dark orange for the main and black or dull-brown for the seats. Really, how many life rafts (or rescue boats) are darkly colored like that? Think about it.

It still looks great. I've always loved the way you do landscaping Kumba! Keep it up!

Then find a new one.

The station itself is neat. Not too sure about the rest. You do overtree/bush, and you need to start listening to the advice given to you. If you post a picture, you should respect the polite comments people give to help you out.

The thing I would change, and I know that it would be hard to do this by now, is to stop filling every quarter tile that there is because it makes a lot of your work look the same.  Full tile foliage is fine also, let alone just land without anything on it.

Sometimes you look at someone's work and it's good, but you just can't figure out exactly what you don't like about it until someone else points it out. I would have thought I'd have noticed this, but somehow didn't. Kumba, this may be the best advice you get in this thread...break out that shovel and start deleting some plants. Let's see some bare rock!

Also the rapids at the tops of waterfalls is a look I've never been able to really enjoy. I always found waterfalls to be a nice way to accent landscaping with a simple look, but the rapids at the top somehow make it too busy and ruin the aesthetic for me. Being that this area is supposed to be chaotic, I'll accept it here, but I just had to get that off my chest.

this better?

i like these screens the bulidings look like they have been in a hurricane.
and the river rapids look interesting.

I like both screens, but personally I liked the one with more foliage the most, I think it added to the atmosphere. Either way, this is an incredible park with very unique themes. Things like your submerged river rapids track make this park in a class of its own....great job!

I like the 2nd screen more. But thats probranbly because I just hate light colored plants...
