Nin grabs a top 5 spot and a score that just scrapes under the 80 mark with his idyllic suburban landscape transformed by an alien invasion.
Very fun and lively theme that fits your building style well, and good nin work is pretty much always good.The theme allowed for some fun supporting rides and creative themeing choices, which I really enjoyed. Would've liked to see both sides of the park come together more properly, now they felt cut-off by the coaster mostly. But overall just very solid work!
Fun little entry here. For me it is hard not to compare it to a recent park with a similar UFO theme - Yucca Desert Park - and while I enjoy both, I would be remiss if I did not mention that this park features comparably less content and advanced technical execution in terms of the UFO effects. Despite that, the way you have landscaped the map such that it appears the UFOs are scarring the Earth itself in an all-out invasion is as fun as it is cartoonish. The large power lines were also a cool feature that added some visual balance to the map. Nice work overall, and though a bit short on content, the map was deserving of a design award in my eyes.
Great atmosphere! The music is fantastic and I feel like the scream from the coaster hit differently given the theme that you chose. The entire park feels so retro I really enjoyed it. The little details like the car crashes and the water jetting out from the broken land are nice. I also really like the colours that your chose for the coaster, the pink really fits well in the setting with everything else.
Foliage and Landscaping: No complaints at all with the foliage. The object choices are great and everything is placed extremely well which I would expect from you. I like that you didn't spam objects and gave everything a chance to breath. I also love the little crop circles that you have. This scene below is amazing with the foliage and landscaping
The landscaping is also really solid throughout. I think some parts are stronger than others but I think part of the point of your entry is that it is not supposed to be clean. The land textures you used were really solid throughout this entire thing. I think that you do a great job in general of utilizing the different land textures to their fullest. A river or something could have been nice. Would have been cool to see a waterfall or something due to the break in land.
Architecture: I think you did everything you set out to do architecture-wise, everything is really great. With that being said, I wish you set out to do more in this realm. This park does seem like it's missing a real centerpiece to tie everything together. Regardless, I do love what is here. The forms on this building below are amazing
The barn is also great and the houses all look very true to real older suburban houses.
Overall: I would rate this and 80%. I think everything here is amazing but I wish you were a bit bolder and expanded the theme more. I really enjoyed this park
Unfriendly Invader grabbed my attention right from the overview, and it absolutely delivered. This is a fun, detail-rich entry packed with the small touches you’re known for. The classic sci-fi vibe is nailed perfectly, with fitting music that enhances the atmosphere. The smaller architectural moments and thoughtful landscaping help tell the story, while the constant movement throughout the map keeps it lively and engaging. It invites exploration... and not just from our world
Easily stands as my favorite entry so far.
UNFRIENDLY INVADER
Is this based on your recent building challenges, the ones with the fireworks and giant cat? If so, I'm really glad to see the setting reused and released. I also love to see remakes of older parks with modern scenery and building styles; hope to see more of that; maybe Infestation at Outpost 23 is next?
To be honest though, while the scenery itself is great, the integration of the coaster into the park is probably the weakest aspect of it: it doesn't interact with many rides and the queue area is kind of small, hidden, and lacks decoration.
The coaster doesn't seem to be the priority though, it's the scenery that stands out. I absolutely love the mid-century suburban alien invasion setting, something that used to be ubiquitous in media, but is nonexistent in RCT. The houses, the farm, the electricity pylons, and the smashed sign all nail this setting; it almost looks like something from the Iron Giant. The UFOs are also a nice upgrade from the observation towers in Phatage's park.
Overall, while the integration of the coaster is a weaker part of this, the theme is very strong. This is a wonderful and inspiring tribute to one of the most iconic parks on NE.
