"The next big update we're working on right now is the campaign and a tutorial, which should be the best starting point once that's done." For now, the scenario designer has allowed hundreds of players to create and share fun starter parks, from extensively decorated landscapes (opens in new tab) to recreations (opens in new tab) of classic levels (opens in new tab). That scenario-based campaign mode, Team Parkitect said, is their next major target. This kind of community outreach has allowed Parkitect to fill in what gaps remain in its arsenal, like default blueprints and a scenario system. "Some very impressive custom scenery sets have been released recently," they told me, "and there's also really crazy stuff like on-ride cameras (opens in new tab) or completely new types of coasters (opens in new tab)." Community challenges set players loose on a particular kind of ride each month and the winning creations are added to the game. Team Parkitect has its eyes on that community, and is very excited to see players stepping up. Examples include a recent mod adding catwalks (opens in new tab) to the game, allowing players to build true-to-life lighted walkways to the sides of their massive coaster hills, and a mod adding cars (opens in new tab) as scenery, all with their own working headlights. Those contributing to the extensive Workshop can even have their own creations tap into that new lighting engine.
Players can incorporate lights throughout their park's scenery, and flat rides come to life with flashing, colorful animations that look just like they do at the county fair. Thanks to a revised visual system, it looks better than ever with gorgeous lighting that brings parks to life when the sun falls. What takes it above and beyond is a combination of massive community output and new graphical tweaks. You can even see how guests are reacting to the scenery along the ride's route thanks to systems that allow detailed creations to actually impact guest perceptions.Īll of this feels fleshed-out in the latest beta.
Once your ride's built, simple-to-read visualizers help you determine what sections are providing the most excitement and where efficiency can be improved.
