    It doesn't look aztec, at all, but it is nice

    Mayan or Incan maybe? I don't know. I just know I built a couple buildings in the german area that looked like this but didn't work for that theme, I decided to do this. :) (Those style of buildings are not in the german zone anymore)

    On the new page as requested, ride6. :)


    Well, I must say, I acually quite like it.
    The building looks decent, but it looks unfinished as well with all the bare rooves and such. The foliage looks pretty nice as well. The landscaping seems pretty solid to say the least.

    One suggestion, though: Use some damn color. All I see is gold and brown. Expand your colors dude. The orange flowers are a good start, it would be better if they were the bright ones.

    Anyway.
    Looks good. Steve likes.

    Eh, its far too crowded foilage-wise. Maybe lighten up a bit on the trees and such?
  • Phatage%s's Photo

    Phatage, you forget about Tennessee Tornado, it was built pretty recently in the grand sceme of things.

    I did not forget it, its just that Busch wouldn't build a corkscrew coaster in the late 90's. They like their B&M's, and from their experiences with DF they know who to go to and who to stay with for major steel coasters.

    Anyway, about this "aztec" section, if you're going to build something and then decide the theme afterward, that's exactly what it will seem like.

    Um... no.

    it looks nice, but the folliage looks straight out of a Kumba park. Lighten up on it, and then either destroy all of the buildings in the area (and rebuild them fittingly) and keep it's name, or rename it.

    Also, those colors for the rides just arent working. Too :|'''' ... Lighten up on them, but make them vibe, not so in-your-face...
  • Ride6%s's Photo
    Except that Kumba would would at least three times that many of toons bushes. :D

    The archetecture is about to recieve a dose of red trim and I'll upgrade the flowers to a brighter orange. I'll have to come up with a better name, many something simbly and broad, like Lost Kingdom or somethin.

    EDIT- Oh and thanx to steve for bringing the screen over to the new page. :)

    the architecture looks european, and the foliage looks jungly.

    Turtle is better at aztecy stuff :-p.
  • GuestTwimasta%s's Photo
    To make this really stand out, you should use dirt backround so u can really see the plants.


    P.S. Play Counter-Strike to get a idea of Aztec (joke)

    :stupid:

    And what the hell does that have to do with anything Gymkid? Gosh, grow up.

    ride6, you've really impressed me lately, but this screen lets me down a bit. I don't think some of the architecture pieces really fit together too well, and I think a bit less wood should be used in this area. Just doesn't make a ton of sense to have that much.

    I also think you should consider utilizing more of the land you've got there. In that screen alone, a ton of the space is being taken up by foliage. It's all flat, and that just makes it look worse. I'd either try and raise some of the land to various elevations to give a rocky effect, or put a building or ruin there to help break some of it up. I realize you want it dense, but it doesn't carry well in RCT2 games without a ton of work and practice.

    Aside from that though, great job. I look forward to seeing more of you. Good luck with the park.

    the architecture looks european

    European? Dunno about that, doesnt look to me, oh well........It doesnt look to aztecy either, the buildings should be a bit more blocky and have some temple elements in them. Add some gray?


    Looks good, but doesnt go with the theme too well.
  • deanosrs%s's Photo
    ride6, that's a classic example of why I don't rate you as a parkmaker. Have you done any research into the theme at all? The whole structure of the buildings is wrong for aztec, the objects you have used are wrong for aztec. And then you use midly usable foliage for the theme which contrasts hugely with the seemingly european architecture. You need to plan a lot more, sorry.

    I agree...

    Glance at this screen is good but.. Looking zoom in more it is^ CROWDED

    Agreed. For a moment it looks good. When you focus more you see things differently.

    I almost found that funnier than the original joke. Good one, freak!


    ride6 - it would be nice to see a real original take on the aztec theme, but as it is it looks...pleasant.
  • Hevydevy%s's Photo
    It doesn't look aztec at all. When I think Aztec I think ruins. What it does look like is a jungle outpost of some sort. Disregarding theme it looks good. Keep it up.

    By now the theme has been disregarded. I get the general idea that it's good but not fitting.

  • deanosrs%s's Photo
    I wouldn't call it good either. The foliage and the architecture class horribly, they're completely different styles.
  • Ride6%s's Photo
    ^Thanks. :rolleyes:

    Welcome to Castle Heights, the king awaits meeting you.

    Can't say I'm a big fan of the architecture or the foliage. But the color scheme you chose is fitting for the most part. But really, what stood out the most to me was the landscaping, thats hot stuff.

    Toon's new stuff would have came of great use, here.
  • JKay%s's Photo
    The architecture really reminds me of NC's stuff, which is okay other than the fact that this theme as already been done a million and a half times. The landscaping is decent, as well as the foliage, however I find much of the rock land awkwardly jagged in places. The one thing that also bugs me about the architecture is the windowed castle walls that aren't flush; creates quite a distraction. I really like that wood pagoda thing towards the bottom with the diagonal scenery, thats awesome. Overall a nice screen ride6, but nothing to really rave about.
