Sorry to say it, but it's very average.  It's just so simple, has very little detail or anything to make it stand out.  The roof is dull.  There's just nothing there.  It isn't bad, and probably looks fine in the park, but it's not the kinda thing I would show in a screen.  Sorry

I completely agree with you here.

I would also pretty much say that about the whole park. I really don't see what makes this park seem great. The archy is plain, and nothing special. I would go for more detail with some more 1/4 stuff to make this thing stick out from the rest, 'cause as of right now, it's average at best.

So much green and brown.... reminds me of when I was sick last week...

New screen and area I am showing..since I havnt updated this in like forever..
the big building on the right would be the fine work of X250 you gotta love that guy
Mediteranean(sp?) theme



Enjoy!

I have issues with that screen as far as practicality goes - no benches, bins, lights...transfer track? All the buildings appear to have 'closed doors' and the gardens are haphazard (not to mention bushes growing on canvas).

I have these issues with a lot of rct2 parks, where sweeping aesthetic seems to have ousted attention to detail and well-judged composition of themes.

I do agree with mantis, to an extent, but I don't think the screen is all that terrible. Sure there are some unrealistic elements (aforementioned transfer track and bushes) , and some nit-picky things like the lack of benches/lamps and the multicolored flowers, but overall I think it's fine. Nice ending to the coaster, btw.

Good atmosphere, but don't forget to keep things realistic.

Also, consider changing the color of the steps on the building center-top. It looks like a slope rather than steps.

Good atmosphere, but don't forget to keep things realistic.

That's the problem I have - I can't feel any atmosphere at all. It's all so sterile and lacks any sort of association for me apart from the 'oh that's rct2 niceness'. There's no character or personal style.

Not too shabby. But there are a few bits which put me off.

The fencing doesnt look very good, especially around the single path. Try a bit more of a neutral fence, just one level high. The single path itself is a bit weird, it looks a bit skinny, if you like. I don't think the mushrooms really suit the area as well.

I do like some parts of the architecture, the tower on the right for example, the two buildings in the top left look a bit out of place, they need a bit more added to them to make them a little more interesting.

Thats all I can say really, I agree about the flowers as well in fact.

Good job anyway, and keep at it.

Marshy

The comments already provided easily suffice my issues with the screen. mantis' comments are spot on; accusations I'm commonly guilty of myself. Marshy touched on the fences, which are biggest fault imo. One-level fences would suit much better, but even no fences would be okay. The flowers, especially the colors, are un-organized and I actually think the whole area is over-foliated. The architecture forms are extremely good, but I'm not liking the same roofing used throughout. I'd like to see some more wood textures in there.

Either way, you continue to improve, so I commend you on that. Nice job.

I wasn't too sure on the fences either..what do you think of the basic little fence that is like that rope fence thingy..the really boring basic one that comes with the game?

I havnt put in benches and stuff yet I put those things in towards the end.
and I will try and integrate some more wood roofs into the park

You mean the one which classes in the Western scenery tab? It could work, but if you do use it, don't make it the normal brown (the brown in the bottom left of the colour palette, you know).

Marshay!

Here is my updated version with new fences..


as the eye doctors say..bettor..or worse?

Fences aren't really noticable now... I guess it depends on how you wanted it. I liked the ones from before better.

Also, I just noticed you've got a one-tile wide path there. Definitely change that.

it just goes to that boat house and it isnt a real ride..

Eh, it looked better with the old ones.

1) There are still plants on the "canvas awaning tent" in the middle of the screen.
2) There are way too many plan colors.
3) The builds appear to be nothing but atmospheric peices, I understand it's harder to put shops in them and cover flat ride enterences/exits with architecture but that effort goes a long way.
4) If this is supposed to be realistic that invert needs a switch-track. (hell mala even does em' on fantasy coasters)
5) Benches, Bins, Lamps?

Basically follow mantis's suggestions and it would be stunning but no... you go and change the fences... *sigh*

The colors/textures are quite nice though, and the folidge (except for the flowers) is quite pretty. Basically it invokes the standard "marble in rct2" feeling which is great; except that there is nothing here to make it different from all the other area's like it.

I like that little one-tile wide path. But please, for the love of god, change the flowers.

I don't think we've had this much colour inflicted upon us in a while.



And you know what? I like it.

i think this park is genious and very great

every screen got his own atmosphere and the plants are very well set
go on like this, this park will rock!

Hey thanks Joju!

For the comment and now I dont have to go fishing through this forum looking for it

I love the atmosphere I have going in this screen. very cool tropical jungle.
I will let you figure out the theme.


Enjoy!

Ooh. I like it. I like it a lot. The foliage is rich and creates a lovely atmosphere. That single building isn't too bad either.

I'm not too sure of the flowering though. I'm not sure if it's the normal red flowers or the yellow jungle ones that I don't like. I think it's the red flowers. They aren't really as effective in creating an atmosphere than the yellow ones, probably because they do not stand out as much. Also the single dark green hedge in the right of the screen seems out of place.

Looking good though. Just out of interest, how much of this park is completed?

very cool

again very cool plants and atmosphere works perfect
