^the hanging off doors are shutters. alot of parks seem to have them and i like it.

It looks really out of place without anything below it...

I think any eventual oddness is caused by the mix of windows and door-windows, which is hard to do.

You'll get used to it.

I think flowers would be ace right now, it will brighten the whole area up and make it look 10x better keep it up dude.

Your improving drasticaly.

I think the screen you posted is alright, but it can definetly be improved. I know I am not good at rct2 (Actually I am horrible at it) but here are some things I would change.

*First and foremost, the buildings are too small and none of them are really eye catching. So I would make them a little bigger and more glamorous. Right now the buildings are bland without any real nice custom scenery. I suggest you use some of TT's custom scenery and make some more interesting angles for the rooves and some new walls. The building on the left is too symmetrical for my tastes. It looks exactly like the other building right next to it. I would make one of those building different than the other. The coaster tracks are a bit odd too. I would just take them out personally.
*The colors are a little boring, but that's is alright. You don't need bright colors all the time. I just don't like how the rooves are a different color than the walls. I don't know if you can change that, but if you could I would make them the same color.
*The trees are okay. You are only really using two different types and trees. I would add some more green trees like walnut trees. The fountain is also a little weird but it works. Also, I would maybe add some flowers. That would make the themeing alot better.

All in all, this park is average but if you just made some bigger buildings with some more deatils I think you could have a really nice park. Practice makes perfect.

oh, and one more thing before I post the update, some of you think i shoud put flowers in. but in most places the land is jagged and uneven. does anyone know how i can put flowers in despite the land edge or angle?

Press shift.

Why is it called Realto Bay when their isn't a bay  .

there is water, but not in this part of the park. i'll get an update soon...

EDIT: sorry for double posting!

er... here's another update. it was done amongst heards of screaming children so give me credit where it's due! anyway, here it is.

You have definitely shown steady improvment in the time I have been here Pano......I am liking some parts of this....I really like the landscaping around the enterprise ride, except for those stacked flowers I see. The other buildings are just too random for my liking....I kinda get lost with all those different roofs, walls and colors. It also lacks a theme IMO....which you have mentioned nothing about.....anywho., dont give up on this, cuz I would say its your best work to date....

thanks for your encouragement, it means alot to me! i thought that people were going to say it was shit... maybe they will, but thanks anyway. Anyway, with regards to the theme, it's a mine theme, and the flower stacking is a big mistake! I need to get rid of it, i agree!

This screenshot is best!

this has a great LL RCT2 style combo, that screen looks very nice, i like the colors for the area, excellent work and within 3 screens you have improved alot, very nice work.

Ok, thanks for all your feedback (at least I'm getting some positive stuff through now!!!). I'll get a pic of the mine train coaster I'm gonna start work on soon.

It's not really an update, more an adaption of the entrance to the mine zone.

the path i think should stay the same to the edge of the map and the 3 fountains look bad with only a fence around them and the water right to the path level.

Like I said before Pano, IMO, you've improved, and each screen you show proves that.

Likes
-those mine tracks are a nice touch.
-good atmosphere goin' on
-the colorful gardens, they break up all the surrounding brown tones

Dislikes
-just an opinion, but the flowers matched with the pine trees just doesnt look right to me, maybe find another tree for those 5 spots.
-lack of wood walls, I think some brown wood walls would fit better than the ones you have. They would match the roofs better too.

Nice work Pano.....keep em' comin'

i agree with the wooden wall thing, but there aren't any good wooden wall arches or gates or anything, so that's why i don't use them as much as i should. if you have a scenery pack with them in, i'd be grateful to have them, but it's useless now because i've started my park. should have though of that to start with!

Next Update



This shows the food court, and info services. This is going to be the last update before I put in a mine train coaster in! Comments would boost my confidence!

I must say, this is my least favorite screen of the three....I mean, I like the landscaping and path layout, but I think theres something missing from your buildings. That one missing detail, to me, makes the buildings look generic....but im lookin' forward to that mine coaster!....

I think that the one on the far right needs adapting, so i'll go do that now!
