I'm developing a tycoon game on Linux (and for Linux!), and we just put out the Release Date trailer! The game will be published by MicroProse, the publisher behind classics like Rollercoaster Tycoon!

In this game you bring the Freedom of Car Dependency by turning cities into giant parking lots and convincing people to pay you for it.

And no, it's not written in Assembly, it's written in C++, haha.

If you're interested, you can wishlist the game on Steam, and play on October 9th: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3031880/Car_Park_Capital/

I’m sure I’ve done this correctly

My Zoo is a mess… Need advice:

  1. What do I feed them?
  2. How do they keep getting out?
  3. Why won’t they mate?

Experiment 626

Incarus park reached out to the Galactic Federation for help with the design on its newest coaster, a inverted coaster. The federation had a certain scientist who owed them a favor anyways. Jamba equipped the ride with a 51mph power launch, block sections, 3 dive loops, and his friend cobra needed a cobra roll in there as well, but only one. Then released this monstrosity on the unsuspecting guests.

So apparently this can happen...

Safety cut-outs can crash roller coasters... new thing learned. Result of testing my giga coaster to be crash-immune

Look what I wasted like 45+ hours and 3000+ Python commands not actually finishing

Have to take a break from this hair-pulling nightmare of an obsession... But when I think of all those dudes who made those beautiful worlds on NEDesigns but had to use friggin junior rollercoaster rails to make it look like there are track switches I feel like getting these effing ties right will be worth it...

As mentioned in my previous post I'm going to have to package the code for some actual contrib to review and enter as I won't be able to do a PR myself. Give me a few more days on that.

RCT1 Rendering PC Useless After Shutdown

Hello there sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but it seems the help mega thread is dead from 10 years ago? (maybe I am missing something) I am playing RCT1 on steam and if I try and alt+tab into a browser window on another monitor or when I save and quit my mouse no longer works. I have to tab through the windows menu to shut my computer down. Is this a resolution issue, a compatability issue or something else?

I was also going to look into setting up openRCT2 but haven't yet. I have it purchased on steam. If I set this up can I load/play the scenarios I have been working on in RCT1?

The Three Legends 🎒🎒🎒 Elemental Twister πŸŒͺ️ Raging Wolf Bobs 🐺 and Texas Great White 🦈 all three running together interacting with each other at Cacodemon Bay.

Just a small post some screens of some awesome interacting wooden coasters I built in my Cacodemon Bay Park located for Conroe Texas, (one of the is a pre built of Woodpecker of Haunted Harbor you'll see)

And my goodness I don't know how I managed to build these other wooden coasters near by, it all just turned out much as good.

Elemental Twister is a Woodpecker Clone of Haunted Harbor which I thought this Woodpecker Clone looked much nicer, but this coaster sure acts like a tornado and water spout over the beach and over the water two times,

Texas Great White a 1950s or 1960s wooden coaster by John C Allen named when some medium great white shark swam into lake Conroe from Galveston Houston port and landed in the beach nearby got some people but people were kind to help the med shark back into water and the wooden coaster was then built as the Texas Great White,

And other wooden coaster next to park entrance is Raging Wolf Bobs which the name came from Chicago Illinois Riverview Park The Bobs and former Geauga's Raging Wolf,

My sister built this wooden coaster her self as it's a Harry Baker Frank Prior Wood Coaster from late 1920s which is one the best classic terrain wooden coasters ever built.

Which one looks awesome and scary?

Pretty happy with how this single rail dueler turned out. Might go back and work on the foliage and custom supports eventually.

ahhh omfg after 4-5 tries i finally completed the hardest level in RCT which is Jurassic SAFARI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some tips was to spam rides and make really really long queues to hold guests which potentially spawns more walking guests.

By year 4, make every ride very affordable or FREE so people stay longer.

And on year 2, start spamming advertisements

With unlimited money and nearly 40 in game years, I created the ultimate version of Arid Heights!

I made this park several years ago, and thought it had been lost to time when the hard drive it was on crashed. I recently found a back up however, and was able to restore the file to share with you all. With multiple themed lands and even the shops and stalls named to match the area, I feel this is by far the most ambitious thing I've done in RCT!

I'm feeling the urge to buy RCTC or download OpenRCT2 to see what I could possibly do with a version of this park made with features introduced after the original game!

πŠπŽππ‘π„π€ | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | Ride overview

Is this Europe's next elite coaster?

Hi and welcome back! Similar to my last design (Amarelo) Spain isn't the themepark country you might think it is. It has a few good parks, but most of them are near Madrid and Barcelona. There's a severe lack of rollercoasters in Northern Spain and that's where this design is located, specifically in the Basque region of Spain near Bilbao. Kobrea means copper in Basque, which is the regional dialect/language the people speak there.

This Stryker coaster is obviously inspired by Europa Park's Voltron, but I think that's okay. Its first element is extremely good and I wanted to recreate it the best I could. There wasn't a way to make the launch go beyond vertical, but this is close enough. After that first element the inversion come at you at a rapid pace, just like with any other Stryker or Big Dipper coaster. It's a model that's intense, inversion heavy and airtime focused.

I had a very fun week building and designing this one. As always I took care of the scenery around it as well and I really took the time to create a realistic queueing system. We've got FOUR separate entrances: regular queue, single rider, fast lane and disability. All queues (except the disability lane) go through their own double sided locker area. When exiting the ride you just go back to your locker and find one of two exits where you will also come across a photo booth.

Lastly we have a large shop/restaurant with a small patio. At the back of this building I've also built a small break area for my hard working staff. Gotta think about them as well!

As you can see I've really put a lot of effort into this one and I hope you can see that in the end result. Enjoy a ride on Kobrea!

Stats:

  • Excitement: 8.94 (Very high)
  • Intensity: 6.99 (High)
  • Nausea: 3.82 (Medium)
  • Max speed: 93 kph
