We have not one, or more likely zero, but three park management sims coming out in the next year or so. I could not be more stoked, RCT is what infected me with that horrible disease that has grown into Anno and Dwarf Fortress and poo poo, and maybe one of them will be good. Maybe.

This thread has got me playing RCT1 seriously for the first time in quite a while, as opposed to my usual schtick of doing the first four or five missions and then stopping. It seems that all the forums discussions, guides and little tricks I've accumulated over the years have made me terrifyingly proficient at this game. It's a nice feeling.

Shibawanko posted:Do any of you know how scenery affects ride ratings? I know that if you put scenery near a ride, it improves its stats, but I can't find any details anywhere. Like, how close should it be, should it all be from the same theme, does the value of the items matter, and so on.. I don't think anyone but Chris Sawyer really knows. Just jam poo poo directly next to rides and make it look cool for your own satisfaction.

HopperUK posted:It's okay, I'm watching nerdcubed and he managed to make a coaster with an excitement rating of 0.22 and an intensity rating of 17. Personally I think anything that intense is going to be at least a *little* exciting. 'Oh look, my guts just flew out of my mouth as we went round a corner, snore'. To get an intensity of 17 in the RCT engine you have to be doing Gs that will jelly people, so you ain't seeing poo poo. E: I want to say 15 is the lethal boundary for intensity, but it's been a while since I made something that bad. Orv fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Aug 8, 2015 |

The deluxe version is also technically out right now, because they changed the Steam system date for the base game but not the deluxe package. Not that you can play it, because it requires the base game, but it's a good measure of competence.

Yeah as neat as Parkitect is it doesn't distinguish itself meaningfully from RCT1/2. Which is fine, it's relatively early days, but in my limited digging they don't seem particularly upset about that or interested in upending it.

For being a dumb rear end in a top hat who backed Elite early I got a coupon that'll bring it down to only $67 but it lasts into April so I'm waiting for some internet words on content, polish, etc. Goddamn that song of theirs is just eternally catchy though.

Crazy Pigeon posted:Huh well I haven't heard any games having JUST the alpha costing 50% more than the full title price but I don't follow early access games enough I guess. I still am sort of looking forward to the game but they should have made it like at a maximum 10 dollar addition rather than 45. Kinda just seems like a dick move being that high. If they wanted funding for the game(though frontier has already claimed that it is fully funded and will release regardless of preorders) they should have started a kickstarter instead. The intent when this started happening was that people who just wanted to play the game would be driven off by the price, leaving it to people who were truly invested in the idea and would actually test and give good feedback. Unfortunately real life rarely breaks down in that way along the money lines, so it's basically just the norm that fucks everyone equally.

Initial thoughts in mostly the order they happened: They're sticking with the peppy guitar noodling and low key vocals for a music theme it seems, nice and chill. Little choppy on High preset (no custom settings yet) with a 660M and a mobile i7, turned down to low, ran fine and still looked plenty okay when I poo poo lights everywhere to mess with it. Path placement is a little finnicky until you get a handle on how they want you to use the snap to degree tools for certain problems. You get a width selector in 2m increments from 2 to 10, and a length in non-measured units of 1 to 5. With a straight 1 length barely adds anything, 5 is longer than most of the flat rides currently in. Putting them down in curves is sort of mindfucky because the aforementioned finnickyness means what they'll chose to snap to and when during your mouse movement can be kind of a giant pain. Still I sketched out a ever-widening loop of paths fairly quickly once I got a handle on it and it was mostly perfect circles. Very modern selection of attractions, lots of hydraulic and rotational stuff. Haven't properly messed with any of them yet, nor coaster building. Scenery placement. I want to say "ugh" as my immediate pithy review of the tools as they currently stand but I'm not sure it's totally justified. As the tools are right now you can't scale pieces (god I hope that is something they intend) so you have to build anything with a curve to very specific standards or your curved roof pieces just gently caress off into space. From what I can see while they want you to build more organic/life-like parks the scenery tools right now are best suited to grid laid scenery. That's not to say you can't build fancy pathways but anything you build to cover a queue or ticket booth or ride is going to mostly need to be a box. That's not the worst thing ever, but with 9 of the 13 current rides not being box shapes (and also being really big compared to any of the RCT games, even 3) it's kind of a minor nightmare. That said, I am totally intrigued and will be diving deep into this right now, I'll probably be back later today or tomorrow with a quick flyover of whatever I end up with.

It does yeah. The issue I was having was that when you're trying to bend a path onto another one it can be a little unclear at what point your mouse will start attaching to where. The interaction boxes for paths intersecting at odd angles is a little wobbly.

It was horrible officer, I opened a video game and suddenly it was four hours later and I was in Seattle. I had a fedora and a neckbeard! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETUwjLH6Wb0 That video is four hours of work with scenery stuff and some vague thoughts on what it's like as an actual game rather than a canvas for dumb bullshit. I can give more definite impressions if people have questions on things, or once I mess with the coaster builder.

This is a screenshot of the same park during night on High preset, during which it is the merest definition of playable imaginable, and certainly not something I'd ever tolerate for actually playing the game. I'm ultra terrible at judging FPS by eye, I have to really concentrate to notice 60 if I'm not looking for it, but it stayed pretty much unerringly steady on low and flounders about in the low double digits on high. With regards to the pathing question, both of my ticket booth gently caress ups resulted from me placing the booth without sliding it about sufficiently to let it connect queue to path. Unfortunately there's no way to remove ticket booths at the moment, and I was too far into that so I said gently caress it. Little did I know it autosaves every five minutes but oh well. And yeah, that's how your supposed to branch/connect paths, and it can even been done at totally weird angles that birth completely deformed paths.

Electric Lady posted:How is the theming of the rides? Are they generic rides that you can apply different themes to, or is each themed ride a separate entity from the others? Currently they just are. Not so much themed as just flashy. I get the impression they really want you to be taking the full modern theme park approach and ensconcing your queues and ticket booths in pavilions and structures to hide that. Painting rides will come later, though the extent of that and whether they can be theme painted is unknown.

You should never, ever for any reason buy anything less than an X50 of Nvidia cards, just as a heads up. Buying a X20/30/40 might as well not be an upgrade.
