  • Wow! I was absolutely blown away by this project and what you were able to accomplish here. First off, the concept is great. A really unique and fun concept although it does clearly build off of previous works such as adventure time and some other more abstract pieces of RCT. The music choices were pretty hit or miss for me, by themselves, all of the songs were great and added to my experience viewing the park. However I felt that the songs clashed a bit and it was jarring going from one section to another. I would rather have had all of the songs be more laid back and piano driven to maintain continuity between sections. 

     

    Foliage and Landscaping: I'll start this off by saying that all of the foliage and landscaping were generally done at a very high level and I'm writing this section with the knowledge that you are really good at the game. The foliage and landscaping was a mixed bag for me. The object selection was really solid and the clumps look great. I did find that the foliage along water lines was not done as well as I'd like. I wish you would have used more 1/4 tile bush objects to make shore lines look more obscured in areas. For example, in the below picture the transition from land to water is jarring as its just a straight line.

    The landscaping was pretty good throughout this park. The landscaping in "The West" was very good in particular. there was sections that didn't quite do it for me though. The Japan section in general felt really dead to me. The lack of buildings and atmosphere would have made a lot more sense if the landscaping was more defined and busy. I wish that that entire section was filled with cliffs and waterfalls and bridges and just intimidating landscaping in general. 

     

    Architecture: Clearly the highlight of this park. In fact, I was as impressed as I've ever been when viewing the architecture in the park. All of the areas had very solid architecture. I've posted some of my favorite moments below.

    The use of the ruined statues in this house is straight up genius and looks fantastic. the atmosphere in this little floating island is incredible.

    This is such a good looking station building for the river rapids. The shaping is so good and the objects choices and colors are just perfect. Really amazing work.

    The castle in general is outstanding work. It is so difficult to make a structure that big and have it have so much character and detail. your use of adding in subtle colours throughout the castle was really impressive and worked great. 

     

    In general, I found the architecture in this park to be groundbreaking. All of the smaller details like your signage really made everything look new and innovative. Unfortunately there were still a number of unpolished spots like the train station which looks almost unfinished on the backside. 

     

    Rides and Everything Else: The stonehenge center piece was awesome. All of the layouts seemed pretty solid to me. I also loved a lot of the small details like the little curved stage in the medieval village area, the car falling off of the driveway in the west area, and all of the movement throughout the park. While this project was slightly rough around the edges, I still believe it is a groundbreaking piece of RCT and shows that you are an extremely talented builder. Even with all of my criticisms, this is one of the parks of the year for me. you should be extremely proud of the finished result here.

  • mini golf looks great. I'd probably get rid of the pool on the roof. There isn't enough space up there to do a pool justice. archy looks pretty solid overall. I think the thing thats holding this back the most is the colors. I'd get ride of all of the light blue and yellow accents on the hotel. I'd replace the awnings with the green corugated rooves. I'd replace the light blue accents on the downstairs pool with more beige. 

  • Wow! This park is absolutely spectacular. The size of the park blew me away when I first opened it. The atmosphere is so strong with all of the music and cut-away scenes. The outskirts are wonderfully done and really make the park feel grounded. The macro is very well done for the most part and all of the transitions between areas flow extremely well. Nothing seems out of place or odd.  

    Foliage and Landscaping: Really amazing throughout. It is clear that so much attention to detail was used when creating this park. The land texturing was done masterfully. All of the grass, water, and rockwork in this map look very true to life and everything has its own character. The rocks all look so real in their forms and they all seem to be placed with intention. This scene showcases the foliage and landscaping really well.

    I love the river detailing and the land texturing here. The transitions are so smooth and work so well.  

    The foliage objects and coloring you used were fantastic mostly. I did think some of the trees were a bit saturated in color but that's a minor nitpick. This scene showcases the foliage really well around the queue line.

    This area is so beautiful! I wish I could stand in line here haha.  

    Architecture: I don’t really know where to start in this section to be honest. I think I’ll start by saying that I have never seen a RCT park integrate such large menacing buildings so well. Even though you have like 7 different massive boxes that house the wonderful interiors and themed areas you’ve made, everything looks very pleasing and natural from the outside. Your use of facades and ideas like the blue sky coloring on the side of buildings really made them blend in really well. The skyline scenes throughout the park are absolutely breath taking! The objects selection is honestly pretty genius in some areas of this park. There were multiple times where I thought you made custom objects just to realize that I was looking at extremely clever uses of already existing objects (the miniature skyline, the Eifel tower, the house from up).  

    The actual buildings themselves were incredible. I was genuinely amazing that you were able to produce such detailed archy on such a big scale and across so many different styles. I honestly don’t know if I could even pick out a favorite area. Below I’ve included some of my favorite buildings in the park

    The back stage areas were also really well done for the most part. I do wish there was a bit more going on in some parts but again its a pretty minor nitpick.  

    Rides: The ride interaction you achieved throughout this park is pretty amazing. All of the layouts are really well done. I loved that in every single section of the park there is always at least 2 big attractions that compliment each other really well.  

    Overall: I hope that you are proud that this park! This is definitely my park of the year so far. I think this park will live on as one of the all-time greats. I’m glad that this won spotlight, and got such a high score. It definitely deserves it! 95%/yes 

     

  • Wow! I'm really impressed by this screen. Its very clear that you have a natural knack for the game lol. I'm really excited to see what you can make once you get more familiar with all the new objects and building techniques :)

     

    Side note, I vividly remember being in awe of your spotlight park when I was a kid way long ago. It's really nice to see you releasing new stuff! 

  • This is super cool ! Just from the overview of the map I absolutely love the vibe to this. While muted, the colours work really great together. I absolutely love the little pop of gold in the temple and the blues work really amazing throughout the entire project. 

     

    Landscaping and Foliage: Really well done overall. The foliage in particular is really strong. I really like the lush atmosphere that you created with the towering trees and bushes scattered around. The tree objects you used were pretty perfect also. The colours of the greens are really great with the palette choice. I also really like how you were able to create such a full atmosphere but also find spots to let everything breath a bit. 

     

    The landscaping was also pretty strong. I'm not really a fan of the obejcts that you used but I think you brought the best out of them. The canyon looks very natural and the river running through everything was a nice touch. 

     

    Architecture: While there isn't much conventional archy in this map theres still a lot to talk about in this section. The gold temple was done really well. The little cutaway sections are also great throughout. This scene was awesome

    The bridge was also pretty cool. really nicely done! This image might be my favorite from the entire park (minus the go-karts)

    Rides: I love the bobsled going through all of the rockwork and cut away scenes. I didn't like the go-karts. They felt a bit out of place and weird. 

     

    Overall: I'm very happy I checked this park out. Really fun! I rated it 65%
