(Archive) Advertising District / Project: Aries

Glad to see this coming along, RCTNW.

Can't wait to see more of this.

Project Status #8 - 2/23/09

Figured I would post the latest aerial of the project so far. As you can see, four of the maps are finished to the point that the roads and monorail track is in place and ready for expansion. You will also notice that work on the main parking area is moving along nicely. I have also marked out the locations of the four main parks.

As always, thanks for following along

Really looking forward to the release of Resort #1. It looks fab from the overview.

awesome!

that's all I can say really...

best of luck

I'm loving the design of the Hyatt. It's completely different from your other hotels, which are sprawling, while this is just tall. I'm really excited for the release of the map.

Keep going... I know it's gonna be good.

Looks like a massive project James. And I can count on you of all people to finish it.

I remember when RCT2 started out, your hotels and convention centres always left me in awe. Glad to see this is no different.

Damn I'm not even sure I could tree and landscape that much
Keep up the great work man

^^wow, metro long time no see! How have you been?

Looks great James! Very realistic entertainment area there.. If I didn't know better, I would think this would be real plans for an Hyatt entertainment district..
Great job and keep it up!

...just wow...that is amazing.

...just wow...that is amazing.

A Hyatt Theme Park?
Sounds good to me, I like that so far!

That has got to be one of my favorite screen shots of yours. it's so well composed, brilliant.

Real interesting screen. I can't wait to see the area as a whole. As always I'm incredibly impressed at the amount of planning that has gone into this.

It all blends-which is awesome.

Something seems off in the colour scheme to me. It might be the brown docks vs black rooves that's killing me (didn't your mother/girlfriend/wife ever teach you not to wear brown shoes with a black belt?), but it could just be the starkness of the primary colour accents. Either way, the baby blue hand rail in the top right needs to go.

I'm sure you're pretty solid in your choices already, but I'd try the roof parts in maybe white or gray?

I agree with MA. The colors seem off to me. I also don't like those black cross bars all over the top of the dock. It just looks like it can topple over too easy. And those benches aren't working either. You can clearly see where you sectioned off the path with wall, put in benches then demolished the walls. The line around the benches is just too obvious to me. Other than that, everything looks great and James is a freaking RCT Beast!

Beautiful as always. I love the foliage at the water's edge. I kind of agree about the black roofing though. White might brighten it up a bit and avoid the clashing.

Nice pier there James! I especially like the yellow-black-red poles in the water; they add some life in there..
Are you gonna make some boats in there too? That would be awesome..
Looking forward to your next update!
