That is the best unfinished castle ever made!..ok..best castle..ever..

I think Iceman is right about the lack of different colors..vary it!

Hmmm...Looks nice. The complexity in the first screen is very filling, and the color scheme fits in extremely well. The water effects in the second screen is another nice touch, in my opinion. There is something that I can see happening(that isn't good), so I'll say it now. Although they look really awsome, I'm afraid your going to 'overuse' the gigantic arch ways. I get that feeling because you've used them twice in two different screens. Everything else seems to be in place, and looks fine. Good Job.

Absolutely stunning. You're really starting to prove yourself as a parkmaker. I don't think I'd change a thing so far. Some of those roofs look a little big to be completely flat, but who knows.. it looks sort of fitting in a way. It's good to see you're keeping this park up. Great work.

Color is fine IMO. Some types of areas need more uniformity. Anyway, the castle has some great variance of color, so that should be fine. Kevin, I hope you weren't this good against me in the QftB! Or else I might have some unexpected free time!

i really like it man! keep up the good work!

its amazing. detailed, yet not messy, i'd really love how to do that

That is discustingly good. Detailed beyond belief but without looking sloppy (not to be confused with slobby). Much congrats there. This is my favorite park in progress for now anyway.

lol, this is great. Its funny how most people become de-active when their given a parkmaker spot, I guess you had a few people to prove wrong though, myself included. You've certainly proved you're worth to me.

Great work, this is really 'nice'. But not boring nice, kind of enveloping nice. It really draws you in. This is top notch RCT2 work right here. You're really finding a nice balance between over detail, and plain-ness. Personally, I think my work is under-detailed, yet others are over detailed, you are currently treading the fine line between the two, and it works super-duperly.

*clapclap*

Wow. Nice job on that castle. I like the fantasy-ish feel to it, with it's overhangs, and tall arches. If that was intentional, that was genious. Great job with the first two pics as well, nice and detailed.

Those arches are the shit.

I like everything you've done except that castle, it's just very ugly to me. Otherwise, it's quite amazing. Although I don't agree on your color choices sometimes, you architecture is still quite wonderful. Show us some coasters!

Great! I like the last screens! The first screen and the castle are the best ones.

you got a floating fence in your first screen, but other than that and the 'unfinishedness'....

it looks absolutely fantastic.

The warm, inviting atmosphere it pulled off perfectly, and it's nice to see you putting some beautiful little details - like the arches - into the park. That will give it character...

Brilliant.

Well, its been a while since the last update, but I've finally found some time continue work on this park.
While not one section in the park is finished, all the sections have made some sort of progress (I don't finish one area and go to the other,  I like working on whatever area I feel like working on so I don't get too bored)

Some of the entrance pics are way out of date, so I'll show some updated ones,



you may notice some new details added in around the path areas and some structural changes in the buildings too.....


Here is a new section of entrance area I'm working on.  I still have to add in the minor details as well as finish it.


The area I have most recently started, The Dreamworks area of the park.  This area will be themed to dreams, and nightmares.  The above picture shows the beginning of a very large castle, which will hold a coaster named Dreamcatcher.  The coaster type is still to be decided.


Other than that I have finished the parks first coaster.  The park does have many coasters under construction, but this is the first one to have a completed layout and fair ratings.  Now its finally time to theme it.



PS- sorry for always showing unfinished screens,  I just don't like showing completed ones since I feel it gives away everything.


enjoy.

EDIT- just in case you dont want to search the topic for it:

I thought all these screens were worthy of a new page....

I must say, I was wrong. I read my previous comment about this park and I now feel like a heel for what I said. Architecturally, this is some of the best RCT2 stuff I've seen in awhile Kevin. As others have said, it's detailed, but not overly detailed to the point where it is looks messy or un-organized. I see now why you earned a parkmaker spot. I would love to see some of the rides. Keep this up, please.

...

One of your biggest strengths is creating buildings with little niches and crannies and alcoves... lathering atmosphere into areas by giving them little areas that feel secluded, even if they're spatially open. That first screen is an awesome example of that.

I'm not sure I like the kiddie coaster on top of a small mountain. Looks awkward in that screen, but since it's both incomplete and not really shown at the best angle, I'll reserve comment. Make sure to have some stuff on the other side of that woodie lift hill too... nothing like a lift at the very edge of the map to look weird.

Fantastic stuff though. Good to see this is still goin on, Mr. Prodigy.

it's pretty good. the architecture is immaculate, as always.

hmm.
i don't have any suggestions really. it looks like the usual.

Keep it up.

I don't really like the latest update (the other stuff looks great though). Those jungle bushes look overused and ugly IMO, I think I know what you're trying to achieve, but it's not working for me.

The general architectural style is good though. I'm looking forward to seeing this finished.

Mr. Prodigy is right!

I'm still in awe of this park's beauty. Corky hit the head on the nail about you creating atmosphere in places most people would not think of, or simply places you wouldnt think possible to create atmospheres in. Your quarter tile work is just incredible too. I must say that I would slap myself silly if this did not get Spotlight. Definitely a very inspiring park to me, even with un-finished screens. Please continue Kevin.
