(Archive) Advertising District / Raven-SDI presents Project A (75% Complete)

Hello.


No shoddy storylines...

No intricate details...

Just the following...


In an attempt to better myself at the game, I am starting a series of project parks. Each park will be a unique entity of it's own, but will follow a certain overused pattern.

I am posting screens just for a few tidbits, mostly for architecture purposes, but other than that, yeah...

This is Project A, a "theme park" with green water, brown/green dirt covering 95% of the map, and nothing but Asian stereotypes covering the gyst of the park...Hence Project A (A is for Asia for those of you who are slow).

Every park proceeding this one will be alphabetized, and I am not stopping until I hit Z.
Every park will also have 1 theme and 1 theme alone, frequented to it's individual letter.
Every park is 80x80.

Project B is already 50% complete as well but I am not posting screens until this one is released, which will be next week.

Until then, here are 2 screens.


- This screen shows the station to one of two coasters in the park, a small eatery to the left, and a small piece of a Twist ride on the bottom right with the fruit tree.


- This is a screen of the bulk of the ride "Enter the Fist". I decided to cut down a few trees since this screen and add another type of tree, so it is now less cluttered looking.


UPDATE 10-16-03

Hello.

I have 3 new screens (well 2) for you all today...

The park is finally being worked on again after the H2H debacle, so it should be ready for viewing by sunday the latest now.


- This is a woodie from an abandoned project of mine. It is most likely going to be moved to Project A (terrain and all) as the second coaster as I think it is an amazing ride and deserves a good home. You have to admit this looks cool.


- This is the front entrance of the park. That ugly thing with the flowers and fountains is gone and a much better centerpiece has taken it's place. The left side is also filled with an indoor rapids ride, so that is no longer empty. Kind of an old screen.


- This is "Enter the Fist"'s new paint job. Yes I know it's pink, but come on, it's me we're talking about here. Besides, it looks even better with a gay colour.

The park should be ready soon, so keep your eyes peeled...

*NOTE*
This park is meant to be ugly and have bad colors, so if you want to say what I just posted, it's purposely done this way just to piss you off.

Enjoy!

It's... interesting? I absolutely despise the black path though... never did like it. Also not too sure on the color scheme for the ride... kinda not Asian-like... For the station, use different wall textures & roofs and make it more detailed (or, 'random' as some put it).

I like the first drop/lift facade thing on the coaster, looks interesting.

The first screen is really nice and I can tell that you have put some work into it. The second screen however, isn't going to cut it. It looks too rushed and has no architecture or landscaping. Im not saying that it needs either, I'm just saying, you should do something not to make it looked so rushed.

My suggestions are more details than anything elce.

Screen 1- Change the land type under the footpath to something different from the main and add fences.

Screen 2- In order to do-away with the terrable rushed look simply, alternate the land-types add maby add some jagged rocks here and there. Maybe some water too... Try some of that stuff, and see what you get.

Hello.


I alrady changed the landtype underneath the paths and I even changed the paths completely.

The second screen isn't actually rushed...
I usually theme coasters on hills/terrain and use an abismal number of trees.

I added some scenery to the coaster's layout and cut down some trees in the process.

The park will be done in a few days...

Boring is the only word that comes to mind.
Oh and the phrase "over treed" and "crap tree selection"

first screen....looks like the outskirts of Shanghai (been there several times so I know what I'm talking about).

Personally I like the pink coaster. BTW, in case you haven't heard.....Purple is the new "gay" color. Just ask Tinky Winky

Hello.

^Overrated is the word the comes to mind...


1. The park is meant to be ugly.
2. I use A LOT of terrain and trees. I am not one to make "flat" parks (like other unnamed people^^^)
3. I think the tree selection is fine, there are 6-8 different varieties, that look similar, but are different. Plus I randomly throw colorfuly off trees in to give it a little kick.
4. That's 2 phrases chief.

Thanks

eh it looks okay, nothing spectacular

The coaster design isn't too bad at all actualy. The woodie has a pretty nice layout.

I don't like much else though, sorry. All the grass is just irritating, the treeing is poor and the green water is just plain ugly. If that's what you are going for though you have done a good job with it. There's only so far you can take an 'ugly' park though before it looses that appeal and becomes a 'shit' park.

Anyway, try and finish this one and then use your coaster talent in a more traditional park. That's what I'd like to see at least.

First Screen - I like this screen. The archy is a little odd, but you definitely hit that "ugly" feel.

Second screen - Great coaster design. I actually like the pink coaster, layout kicks ass!

Third screen - Wow, an even better coaster design, it looks beautiful! I dont like that waterfall at the top, tho, too small. Thje station isn't great IMO.

Fourth Screen - Crap. Theres nothing that i see in this screen that i like. Archy is bad, theres just nothing i like about that screen.

All in all, good "ugly" park. Coaster designs are the best here, keep that up. Step up your archy and the park could turn out pretty good.

if your park is intended to be ugly, then surely this bizarre idea for a park would be developed if you actually made it ugly: "Displeasing to the eye; unsightly" Is dictionary.com definition of ugly...

However...

Your park is pleasing to look at and therefore not ugly in my opinion. So, well done, you've succeeded in making a good park, however, you have dismally failed at making it ugly. So, you can look at your park as a failure or a success...

You have your architecture down, but you need to concentrate upon an atmosphere. Your buildings look nice but then there's elements of the atmosphere that dont fit. I wonder why you would fill in areas around a ride with trees, when that was abandoned before LL ever came out (unless it's a woody). I think you should tear the trees down around that beautiful LIM coaster and theme it up a little bit. Rocks and bushes (fatha style) is better than nothing but trees, and throw some smashed buildings or something in there (SA style) and it would look great, something to match the theme of the park and the ride. Anything but just trees.

Don't get me wrong, I like this alot, I really like the ride you have there, except.. its.. pink.. but its a good ride. Its the best LIM I've seen yet. Your theming is decent, and you are only getting better. I bet you wont make it past project E before your skills improve enough to convince you that making 21 more mini parks would be folly. You're skills are improving as we watch, by the time you hit E, you'll be fine.

A, asian?
C should be "catastrophe," D should be "death"
