/vr/ - Retro Games

Are there any new Open projects happening? I'm still waiting on an OpenSimGolf

>>4940708
I would love to se an OpenZooTycoon.

TOMORROW

>>4940487

What is wrong with Startopia?

>>4940746
Nothing. He's just being a contrarian faggot.

>>4940708
Which are all the Open Projects anyway?

>>4940914

Do I actually have to buy land now? this game ramped up its difficulty 3 scenarios in

>>4940921
No. It's not as hard as it seems.

Do we still make scenarios for everyone to try out?

>>4940734
Uhhhh, anon...

>>4940921
Just build shuttle loops, cram your buildings and advertise.

>Randomly generated terrain for scenario editor in OpenRCT2
This wasn't in the base game, right?

>>4941102
Nope, but Chris Sawyer did introduce a random generator for Locomotion.

>>4941110
alright. I won't use it in my attempt to make a scenario for the lads here that everyone will for sure love

>>4941139
I mean there isn't much reason to play the base game over OpenRCT anyways (OpenRCT has random generation for scenario landscapes just to let you know)

>>4940921
>Do I actually have to buy land now?
Nah, there's enough space for a big coaster or two in the back of the park.

>>4941141
I'm using OpenRCT. I'm just not going to use it and see what I can make

>>4941223
Sounds like a pain considering in the base game you can't just drag and paint landscape and you don't have larger square sizes.

>>4941257
He meant not using the generator, not not using OpenRCT.

>>4940921
Just research thrill rides first to get go karts and launched freefall. Karts will bring in 10k/hr and freefall will bring in 5k/hr

Then build a coaster or two. Easy win. Don't research water rides early for log flume, too much shit in the water research tree.

Started a new game of Forest Frontiers, this time I thought I'd mess around and turn it into the sandbox, hence the 1 million dollars and all purchasable land owned.
Looking for some feedback, how does it look so far? Problem is I'm fine making flat rides and making them look good, but I cannot for whatever reason make a decent looking rollercoaster. I keep trying to build one but they never look good and detract from the comfy theme I'm going for. Do you guys know of any good guides that can help me make not shit coasters? Also I'm planning on that railroad to be a 1 station tour of the park, with it also going around that small lake in the back for a bit of a scenic detour.

>>4941705
I literally can't do what you posted. It's out of my mental capacity.

>>4941705
Try to keep rollercoasters to themselves but if you try hard enough intertwining ones that go near other rides and over paths can still look good but you need to be wary with them, especially with wooden ones where the supports on them shit all over what's under it. Also try to keep looking at it different angles to keep each one good looking.

Also you can just have the railroad track go literally on the path like a railroad crossing on a road since you're using openrct.

>>4941730
Like take this one I made for example.
>>4929006
It doesn't detract from other parts of the park at all and it has its own theme (granted I think it could use something more than two samurais but you get what I mean). Yeah sure wild mice are compact and not every coaster is compact like wild mice but it's possible to build more compact ones, and if you can't do that plan ahead a certain large area reserved for the coaster. Considering you're playing on Forest Frontiers you need to be very conscious about this.

>>4941748
Thanks for the advice! I'll try that and see how it ends up. I actually found out about the railway crossings by accident, but decided to keep the arch because I thought it looked cool, even if a little impractical. Also I was excited that OpenRCT2 added the terrain options from RCT1 so I wanted to incorporate the bricks somewhere.

>>4941762
I literally don't know how you got the terrain from RCT1.

>>4941768
when in the main menu go to the options, on one of the tabs there is an option to import RCT1 content. Assuming you have it installed you just need to select the installation folder and there you go, all the scenarios and tracks from the first game are now imported into OpenRCT2. Not sure if that is what gave me the RCT1 terrain options or if that just a new feature for OpenRCT2. Either way I'm really happy about it because back in the day I used that brick terrain all the time, it was the feature I missed the most in RCT2.

>>4941780
It didn't work.

>>4941784
What version of OpenRCT2 are you using? I'm running version 0.2.0-233. Also if you need to update just a heads up I lost all my custom scenery last time, so be sure to make a backup.

>>4941795
How did you see that "233"? It says "build Oaff800" after the "v0.2.0" but no "233" in sight. Is this for the development branch?

When a guest vomits on the 1st tile of a ride queue i want to scream.

How do I stop river rapids boats from bunching up?

>>4941939
have 1 boat

>>4940921
You can build over water btw. God damn seeing this makes me want to play it so bad now.

>>4941705
I like it how everything is contained in that little courtyard. It seems strange to slow your trains down that much just to go over a single footpath, though.

>>4941939
Allow them to leave the station with less than full loads. River rapids are a very high-capacity ride, the boats will bunch up at the station waiting for passengers. If you toy with the wait/leave times and minimum loads I'm sure you can find a balance that fits your design.

>>4941705
Looks like a good start. I'd recommend using planters without borders for bigger flowerbeds, if you want borders you can add them yourself.

As for coasters, if you post many updates while building there's generally enough nerds here to guide you through building a comfy coaster.

>>4942020
Yeah, I just don't want to slow down the traffic on that footpath since it's the main path that will go through the park.

>>4941969
Yeah, but I really don't like the look of water just being land 2.0

I kinda liked the way this game made you actually walk around the airport and forced you to plan your day somewhat because walking from place to place took time, but on the other hand there just wasn't enough complexity and it was just kinda too easy to get rich, stomp everyone else, buy out their airlines and be left alone. Not enough scope and the weird little adventure game puzzles strewn throughout don't really offer much.

>>4943329
aerobiz is great on snes

>>4943329
I have this game but whenever I always tried to start a game, it doesn't work.

What's the right price for on-ride photos? $3?

>>4943063
You might find that people will walk circles around that fountain, but since it does have two exits (three if you consider the ride), you should be fine.

>>4943631
$3 is fair, I usually go with that. You can ramp it up a little more for more money, but beware that it will sell fewer photos.

>>4943329
Bought the second one because I won a steam coupon for it and there was a sale on, so combined I was getting 86% off the asking price or some shit.

I wish I hadn't, it would have had to have been 99% off to be worth my money.

Why is making a scenario so hard?

>>4945271
What are you talking about? :^)

>>4945279
How did I never think of that?

I need to play Theme Hospital and SimGolf again.

And RCT of course.

Not really sure where to put the entrance. The red area is where I'd want to have the bulk of the starting area, but that creates problems for obvious reasons

>>4945480
Just have this road or train station near the beach for guests to spawn near if you want to make the inner land availible for land use.

>>4945493
I'm not quite sure I follow desu. brain's all frazzled right now

>>4945535
Nevermind I was thinking of RCT3 with how the guest spawn point didn't need to be on the edge of the map. What's the problem you have?

>>4945546
trying to find a reasonable spawn point that doesn't end up with a massive as fuck pathway to the entrance itself

>>4945547
Maybe have it go underground?

>>4945554
The terrain not being level really fucks with my mental planning. I was going to put a road between the grass and sand, but then it just looks like cars would drive up stairs. Might have to start over from completely flat land

>>4945480
>>4945546
I think OpenRCT2 have made it so that you can put the spawnpoint anywhere.

>>4945654
I tried that in OpenRCT and it didn't work.

This may be /tcg/ now, but it still very much seems like /vr/ct.
But that's okay. I suppose it's only natural.

>>4945721
Most of the people who kept /cbg/ and the like running on /vg/ have no idea this thread exists, I imagine.

>>4945721
i mean it is the best tycoon game

>>4945721
I'll make sure to post some SC3000 stuff later this summer.
I'm fine with the slow pace of these threads and the majority content being RCT2, the screenshots are nice to look at.

>>4945979
I wonder why there weren't more games that copied its formula.

I'm making progress on this idea, have some out-of-park scenery that I think won't be buyable land. Or I could be a cruel motherfucker and force people out of their homes for a new rollercoaster

>>4945979
I mean as a sandbox sure but if that's the highest in the management aspect I worry for this genre.

>>4946083
That's what alot of scenarios like Big Pier, Bumbly Beach and so on did.

>>4946238
What, make a development, or give you the ability to evict people? In case you couldn't tell, I'm going for more of the "jersey boardwalk" feel

>>4946243
I don't know, it's up to you, I don't really have a preference on this.

>>4946249
I'm leaning on keeping that land not for sale, since a lot already is for sale.

>>4945992
I'm cool with it too. I certainly wasn't complaining, in case anyone thought I was.
Just making an observation.

Diamond Heights is an awful scenario.

>>4946286
I got it clear.

I haven't touched my city since like, winter.
I was trying some new spices for my cooking, and watching old Star-Trek, good times.

>>4946294
It looks cool initially but once you just plop down some rides, you already won the objective.

>>4946313
You're right. Think I just finished 4 months in.

Is it possible to choose were in the map you can expand the maximum rendered space?

>>4946014
>tfw still no really good spiritual successor to Zoo Tycoon

>>4946014
I never liked Zoo Tycoon, but then again I barely even tried.

>>4946014
You could put a ton of effort into a single exhibit in Zoo Tycoon. In fact, you kind of had to.

I kind of think the checkerboard terrain used as a "floor" for buildings kind of looks tacky. I prefer to just cover up the floor to a point where you can't see it, decorate it with scenery tiles or use the brownish sand terrain.

>>4946647
If I build a floor that's supposed to be seen I usually use some building block or path.

>>4946647
You have a good point, but allow me to counter:
I'm lazy and it's fast.

>>4946631
I remember it being minmaxy down to the exact right number of tiles of each terrain type and exact right number of scenery objects, but was it actually required to max out animal happiness?

Anyone know if there's a set that would be good war theming? You know like animatronics, statues of soldiers and tanks?

>>4941052
Did something happen?

>>4947519
Release date is the 30th of August, not July.

So is open sim2000 just gone now? I could have downloaded it a week ago...

>>4947089
I think there was a point where it was "good enough," and it was okay to stop there, but you did win awards if all of your animals had very high exhibit suitability. So there was reason to continue.

Thankfully the zookeepers were very specific as to what the animals needed, so you were never really second guessing what they wanted.

Back at it again. I absolutely love the mine theming barrel, it's without a doubt one of the most diverse scenery pieces in the game.

>>4948557
It's not like it was playable so no big loss.

>>4945979
The biggest issue I had with zoo tycoon was that you couldn't fast forward time. There were only two speeds, pause and play, and if you needed to save up some money it felt like it would take forever.

>>4948557
I seriously want Opentower or something, based on Yoot Tower, along with some one to get all the tower kit expansions.

I filled out that chunk, now I'm not sure what to do with the chunk that's for sale

>>4948989
Real pretty park you have there. That an office building?

>>4950127
Yeah, it's supposed to be an administrative building combined with guest toilets on the ground floor facing the main road.

I'm kinda struggling with executing my ideas. This area have taken hours and I'm still not totally happy with it. Probably need more planters.

Any way to add more than 2 custom music tracks for openrct?

Also, any suggestions for good park music?

>>4950178
Also, that vomit comet of a swinging inverter thingy need a suitable name. Preferably something tacky.

>>4950178
Where are these rides I've never seen before coming from

>>4950060
So I assume the green space is for sale?
When land is for sale around where I live, it's usually not maintained well. Perhaps you should add a field of small trees and shrubs, just a forest of pioneer species. That way you can buy the land, but you'd have to clear it to be able to use it effectively. It would add a little bit more to the scenario.

Just posting some more progress on my Sunny Swamps park. I renamed that vertical rollercoaster I last built to something else.

I like to imagine this backyard to be a garden that guests and hotel stayers can stay in.

Did not expect for it to be this exciting. This one's the highest excitement I ever got on a rollercoaster.

>>4950278
They're custom rides, there are a couple that actually look really good. Most of the good ones are by Amazing Earl. There's a link in the OP but honestly that pastebin is close to impossible to read so I'll just give you a link: http://ae.rctspace.com/

It's 2018, and that means it's time for Atari to dredge up some old IP for a quick buck.

>>4953163
AHAHA THEY COULDNT EVEN GET THE GAME TO WORK PROPERLY LONG ENOUGH TO GET A SCREENSHOT

LOOK AT THE LAST CAR

>>4953163
Is that seriously an interracial couple on the cover for the game?

>>4953169
>Atari okayed this screenshot to be used for marketing the game
Is Atari legitimately mentally deficient or something? Do they even know how the fuck to market a game anymore?

>>4953163
>>4953169
Remember when they tried to crowdfund this exact game and requested a minimum of 250 usd?

>>4953249
Remember when they released their last game long before it was complete just to get it out the day before Planet Coaster?

>>4953249
holy shit, you're right. It's the same game

>>4953163
shit stats desu

>>4953397
>>4953163

>>4953397
The stats are probably even worse, considerung they didn't bank their fukken turns

>>4953181
I don't think that woman and the alligator are supposed to be a couple.

>>4953735

Peeps, I decided that my park needed another big coaster so I want to build one up on the mountain. I built a Schwartkopf but except the interaction with the golf course I don't really feel it. What coaster would you have built?

>>4954215
I would've built a mine coaster, that usually fits in well into anything with hills, especially together with the minetrain. Or some weird reverse shuttle design (pic is what I've tried in a similar situation). Your design looks great, though, can't wait to see it with scenery! I've always wondered how the classification into "Schwarzkopf", "GCI" etc comes up. Are there specific characteristics to the different manufacturers?

>>4954417
I've thought about a mine train but I wanted something more "expensive".

>I've always wondered how the classification into "Schwarzkopf", "GCI" etc comes up. Are there specific characteristics to the different manufacturers?
Most coasters in RCT are classified by their track, for example all the coasters featuring the Floorless or Inverted track are all B&Ms, Bolliger & Mabillard. Sometimes the distinction is made by the train types, the Articulated Woodie train are GCIs Millennium Flyers. If you have a coaster built by a nerd you can also generally identify it by the design, img related is an obvious GCI identified by the twisted drop, low to the ground turns, constant banking and small airtime hills.

>>4954417
>>4954441
If you want to build realistic coasters the best way is to look at POVs of real coasters on Youtube and let them inspire your builds. You can also ask in the thread, there's generally a bunch of really knowledgeable people lurking.

Gave in and bought the game Pocket City for mobile. For $5 it's not half bad. Plays a lot like SC2k. Only have 2 hours clocked but for the most part it's pretty good.

>>4953163

>Atari and the RCT franchise

Reticulating Splines

>>4954215
i n t e r a c t i o n

It's ok to have some spaghetti in realism sometimes, just take a look at the Liseberg mine train. Your layout isn't by any means bad on its own. The hill just before it flies over the golf course would be perfect to put path under, it all comes down to how you theme it.

The double diagonal bit that pops under the lift hill sticks out a bit awkwardly, nothing wrong with going under the lift, it just looks a little forced?

Your foliage is improving a lot Narc! The tree selection is a little random but the composition and clumpiness looks really nice

Reminder to hide your garbage cans so your park doesn't look disgusting!

>>4954820
Reminder the best way to do that is by not having any garbage cans at all and instead flooding the paths with 2 handymen for every 1 guest.

>>4954868
>>4954820
ya'll need to take the Cedar Fair approach and have 1 garbage can for every 3 path blocks.

>>4954897
This is completely true but i've never seen a theme park as clean as cedar point.

Do y'all accept rct3 in here, too?

>>4953181
> we want the BLACKED audience

>>4954625
Wish I had known about that when I was in rehab and only had my smart phone

>>4954868
> handymen find themselves in ride queues and are too autistic to get out

>>4955034
You can never have too many handymen. Sometimes guests barf in ride queues.

>>4954941
Go ahead. I too like RCT3.

Any tips to building a stand-up rollercoaster (not the twister variant mind you)? Should I even bother with the stand-up rollercoaster?

>>4955090
carefully watch the speed
keep it small

it's a difficult coaster to build with but if you work with it on a small scale, it works.

>>4955090
make it go fast

>>4955093
>>4955108
I got 6.33 excitement, 8.91 intensity, and 6.07 nausea.

>>4955115
My philosophy is that as long as intensity ain't in the red it's fine and any guests who think it's too intense are just little pussy faggots who need to be drowned

>>4955129
>drowning them instead of running them over with the coaster with the guests who were man enough to ride it on board

my park rating hasn't been above 200 for months

>>4954769
By now I've become emotionally attached to the coaster so I guess it'll stay. I changed the layout a little and added a launch tower to make the area feel more populated. Might have to move the Enterprise to make room for a restaurant.

>The tree selection
I'm going for a somewhat northern feel so there's no palms but other than that it's mostly based on what I feel look nice.

>>4954769
>>4955308
>the Liseberg mine train
Is a heavy inspiration by the way. Both the first drop and helix around the tower are basically stolen.

>>4955308
Why does the carousel queue look weird?

>>4953397
> Atari is so bad at their jobs they literally can't even design a good rollercoaster in their own game

gg Atari

>>4953729
Upper and lower helixes are banked automatically. Kind of makes me wonder if they even have banked turns to begin with

>>4955378
It's a custom path, if that's what you mean.

>>4953163
>Unbanked turns
It's like they're not even trying anymore

>>4953163
So is nobody else going to point out
> wooden rollercoaster
> steep incline chain lift

>>4955570
And,
>no chain lift at all

>>4955768
its a powered launch

>>4955807
OH NO NO NO

>>4956054
>wrong colour scheme
You had one job!

You people are unfair, the coaster is amazing and the peeps love it.

>>4956087
Does that even go over the middle hill?

>>4956393
Without a problem, I went with the launch approach.

>>4956087
how do you guys put different cars on the rides?

>>4956435
There's a built in cheat in OpenRCT2 that allow you to select vehicles from other ride types.

>>4956447
I haven't seen it when selecting cars

Is this objectively the best message you can get in Sim City 3000?

>>4956448
You have to enable the 'select vehicles from other ride types' in your cheat menu first, faggot.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqea2sbbaRk

Look at this fucking abomination. Looks quite good desu.

>>4957223
>that odd stall at 1:19
I still don't like how those flow.

>>4957223
>those fake-out rolls

God, just put a condom on why don't you and quit puling out

>>4957223
Kennywood being my home park, it's kind of disappointing that this is essentially just a longer version of their last coaster. Still excited though.

>>4957248
Agreed. The big ones RMC are doing, where you float upside down for seconds, are absolutely amazing but these small ones look to snappy.

Whats the difference between the mini roller coaster and the classic mini roller coaster?

why does it have to rain

rain is anti-fun and loses me money

and no, i am not jewing people for umbrellas, even i have limits

>>4957523
But rain is comfy and makes everything better.

>>4957223
>that first inversion
What would you even call that?

>>4940727
Fuck you Orca 167, life isn't fair.

>>4941705
I wish I could make parks look good like this. Mine always end up as a jumbled, min-maxed mess of rides and pathways closely stuck together. I hate feeling like I'm 'wasting space'.

Remember playing pic related (School Tycoon) years ago.

It was rather rubbish.

Also, reposting the worst RCT review ever from the long-defunct UK general PC magazine PC Guide.

Whoever reviewed this clearly had no clue what they were on about.

>>4958442
If I reviewed one of the best 100 games of all time a 3/5, I would immediately commit sodoku

>>4958439
It had poor pacing. I remember choosing early on to host a parent-teacher conference to boost every teacher's stats, but it cost too much and it put me in the red, where I basically sat for 20 minutes before completely losing interest.

>>4958442
They failed at fact checking pretty thoroughly here.
>Bullfrog's Theme Park was not a 1988 game.
>"Cries Sawyer."

>>4958608
>forgotten to improve it
>there are some improvements

Reading it makes me think the reviewer failed Forest Frontiers. Can't tell which park is in the screenshot though.

>>4958614
Looks like Mel's World. I think those are the prebuilts.

I came back to this tonight, and I've made progress on the land for sale, as well as general refinements to the "beach" area. Now I'm looking for a good wall/roof combo for the stalls and whatnot. Nothing seems to really mesh well with it though

>>4958901
The best I got so far is something like this, with the colors changing every 2 sets.

>>4958901
Solid map, my dude. I like it.

>>4958901
Perhaps link the roads in the avenue together at the gas station?

>>4959245
the plan is to have it be an old, failing boardwalk with a couple of rides already in place, and a "historic" rollercoaster that can't be fucked with

>>4959274
Eh, it's a gated community.

i just got openrct2 working for mac but im wondering what the easiest way to right-click in game is outside of using a mouse? Any recommendations?

>>4959319
I meant, connect the roads right here.

>>4959397
I knew that

>>4959401
I was just testing you!

>>4959058
Those are huge compared to the peeps. They will look better if you make them smaller.

The Go Kart area is finally coming together. Building this ride might have been the most fun I've had in the park yet, who could have thought spamming tires could be this much fun?

>>4959517
lovely interaction here

>>4959629
Thanks, I've focused on interaction in this park, making sure that every ride have at least one point, preferably more, of interaction with either path or another ride.

>>4959490
You can only make them so short to fit the stalls, unless there's a cheat for that I don't know about, which is likely.

>>4960031
Zero clearance yo. If they clip through the roof it's also fixable, open the tile in the tile inspector and swap the roof and the shops order.

>>4959709
Isn't that 4+ wide path murder to the pathfinding?

>>4960204
It feels like wide paths is not really a problem any more. And anyhow, while I want everything in the park to be functional the main focus is aesthetics.

>>4960237
Yeah, it looks really beautiful, makes me want to get back into RCT2, I just remember the guests getting hella lost with wide paths like that.
btw, where are those coaster supports from?
I would totally read an aesthetics guide if you made one.

>>4959517
love the donuts, yummy

How do you guys like to handle balloons in your park? Multi-colors? One color?

>>4960240
>where are those coaster supports from?
Not sure where I got them. Some park I downloaded from New Element.

>I would totally read an aesthetics guide if you made one
Eh, I'm not much of a guide person. I'll happily give feedback to anything posted in the thread however.

>>4960342
At least a couple of colours or I feel like it look to monotonous.

>>4960342
Official park color only.

>>4957223
I think my park need one of those. This will either be really fun or literally impossible to build supports for.

>>4960415
Turned out quite mediocre desu.

>>4960342

3-4 colors depending on the park size.

>>4960342
american colors

>>4960342
Default blue or white if I only have a couple of stalls, just because they look the best on the stall itself. If I have a larger park, I'll go multicolored.

>>4960673
>>4960415
You're a brave man for using a...
... LIM launch coaster with a lift hill?

>Want to build max autismo park on RCT2
>Spend hours doing so
>By the end guests are thinking park is kind of shit because many rides are old and unreliable
Is there any mod or tool to disable aging on RCT?

>>4961909
I believe you can disable popularity reduction in OpenRCT2's cheat menu.

>>4961926
ah yes here it is. I'm pretty sure this keeps the rides running well.

>>4961936
Neat. I ignored this mod for a long time, guess I'll check it.

>>4961946
yeah I think OpenRCT2 has finally reached a point where the quality of life improvements make it worth picking up for everyone.

>>4961704
I also use a 9km/h launch because it looks to slow coming out of the station otherwise.
I'll probably swap the trains. And for some inconceivable reason you can't change lift speed on a coaster that usually don't have a lift so it's currently climbing at an impressive 4km/h.

>>4940734
what the fuck is this shit???????????

I just learned that OpenRCT2 let stations synchronize when they're up to 5 tiles apart.

>>4962532
Modern day version of Theme Hospital, made by the same devs after having escape from EA's clutches.

>>4963048
Why would anyone want that?

>>4963127
Because it looks like an honest to god improvement and faithful homage to the original.
I've already pre-ordered it.

>I suck cock: the post

Question for you guys. RCT was my childhood more or less and before discovering this general i had no idea that OpenRCT2 was a thing.

If im reading the guid on their site correctly, i can use either my old CD copy OR the steam version? Because i already have the steam version installed i can just use that to apply the files, right?

>>4958701
Yeah, you're right.

Good eye.

>>4963425
Yes, both versions work for running OpenRCT2.

>>4963143

Awesome, i know what im doing this weekend.

Just how the fug do I get demand for commercial zones in SC3K?! My population is betweeen 25k and 30k now, and there's barely a commercial building popping up, no matter what density the zone is. I mean, I even lowered commercial tax close to zero. I really want those comfy dense commerce towers...

>>4966446
Keep building the population, there's a point where demand tips from industrial to commercial.

Airports help, too.

>>4961704
>>4961963
Trying to make a modern Vekoma looper I assume? I did something similar a while back, started with a steel coaster, merged into a LIM coaster after the lift all the way to the brakes. Got LIM elements without the horrid penalty.

>>4966843
Nice layout, the world need more inverted top hats.

I was actually trying to build this >>4957223 but I did not manage to build a support structure that satisfied me so I replaced it with a dive coaster.

>>4963048
>>4963135
I've heard this too many times before.

>>4967418
Genuinely seems like the real deal this time around senpai. I'm an extreme skeptic myself but I've been watching bits and bobs and let's plays, and I'm honestly excited.

Guise, I've realized something amazing.

>>4967903

Anon that asked about installing OpenRCT2 on steam here.

i can't believe i've never played this until now, this is amazing and all the options are all i could ever ask for, but... fuck you guys make some pretty looking shit in here, i can't decorate to save my life.

>>4968565
every time you dont have something to do, go to the scenery tab. Gotta start somewhere.

Nice dive, I like it

so is there a mirror for OpenSC2K or what?

>>4967314
>>4969285
Sexy dive coasters, check out this one I found a while back

Good start I guess

>>4970016
Your bumper car ride appears to have fallen through the floor, i would get a mechanic on that

>>4968565
Steal EVERY idea you see. Eventually you'll slap stuff together that's your own style.

Final product, nice speedrun

>>4970097
Another angle

>>4969772
Cute. We should have another small square competition.

>>4969285
That's a really nice barn you've got there by the way. You can put wooden fences along the sloping roof part if you want the wall to be all wood.

>>4970016
>>4970097
>>4970098
Why does it look so pixelated? The mobile game never looks this bad on any of my devices.

>>4970124
Its not my barn, its some custom scenario from either here or r/rct. I've just been using it as a blank slate to build a decent park

>>4970824

>>4972169
Actually better than the kiddie coaster I made in my park. Nice.

>>4972227
Case in point. May replace this eventually but I'm focusing on other stuff. Gonna post more of the rest

>>4972227
Case in point. First one I built in this park, may redo it at some point. Other coaster to follow.

>>4972243
Whenever I make an Arrow Looper I always somehow copy Vortex at King's Island, oh well, it worked out.

>>4972245
A giant inverted boomerang. Still would love to try one irl

>>4972249
An old woodie, I don't normally make small rides but I was satisfied with this.

>>4972251
A dive coaster inspired by Griffon, I built it immediately after I got back from BGW a couple weeks ago. Honestly my favorite ride I've ever built

>>4972252
An old Arrow Hyper very heavily inspired by Magnum

>>4972254
Like, really heavily inspired

>>4963135
Pre-ordering is a mistake.

>>4972257
At first I built a normal inverted coaster but I was very much unhappy with it. Instead of retooling it I decided to make a launched one, an idea I'd played with for a bit. It really loses steam near the end because I had no clue how to wrap it back around after the MCBR

>>4972264
More of Wraith. This little section turned out neat

>>4972265
A Vekoma Looper inspired by Lech Coaster and whatever else recent concepts Vekoma has shown. Definitely one of my favorites.

>>4972273
And finally the Giga Wing. Tried to make a ride that actively tried to throw you out a la Skyrush, hence the similar color scheme. I'm actually not to fond of this, I suck at making good looking gigas

>>4972276
Station and first and last parts of Hresvelgr

>>4972279
Out and back portion. Not sure what my next one will be. Probably plop some more flat rides and make sure food and drink is taken care of first.

>>4972279
I like how the overbanked turn leads right to the station

>>4972227
Made another one

>>4972245
>Whenever I make an Arrow Looper I always somehow copy Vortex at King's Island
How to build good coasters, the post.

>>4972264
>>4972265
Probably my favourite. A launched invert is a cool idea and I like the layout. You could probably have it interact a little more with itself during the last section, maybe add a zero-g roll over the base of the cobra roll?

>>4972276
>>4972279
>>4972281
It's close to impossible to build anything good looking that's higher than 60m/200ft in RCT2.

>>4972243
>dragon wagon

Will the sprite limit ever be increased? I want more guests in my park.

>>4972871

Imagine pouring thousands of hours of your creative energy and expertise into crafting what would become one of the most beloved games of all time, and some gormless cunt who clearly didn't even play it for more than 15 minutes was paid actual money to write a two paragraph negative review. Or worse still, imagine being the gormless cunt who wrote the review. Just imagine being that lazy, moronic and ethically bankrupt that you would pretend to have put any effort whatsoever into wrapping your tiny monkey brain around the magnum opus of an infinitely better man so you could have an excuse to piss all over it in public.

>>4958442
>>4973189
The worst thing to me is that the review probably scared away people who actually would have liked the game.

So I tried to make these shorter, as an Anon suggested, but I can't figure out how to make it so the food stalls don't just delete the roofs and walls

>>4973872
Build the stalls first.

>>4973874
But I can't get the roof to be lower than this without it just going underground, and haven't been able to find an option to change this

>>4973893
nevermind I got it sorted out.

>>4973919
How? I just realized that there's no cheat menu in the scenario editor for whatever reason.

>>4940921
You got plenty of room

>>4973927
tile inspector menu. lowered it through there and changed priority. Though I can't avoid this issue

>>4943329
I liked the sabotage options, although I never found them particularly useful except as a way to take out frustration as a fuck you to the other players.

So he's moved on from just inane hollering and babbling to youtube self-promotion bullshit. Nice.

>>4974685
As for the coaster, standard hang n bang. If only Vekomas werent so rough.

It's my birthday today, but I thought I would give you guys a bit of a gift to celebrate. I don't know if you have heard of the game Parkitect but it's really fun indie, EA tycoon game that plays a lot like RCT. Devs even stated that their goal was to try and copy RCT as much as they can, but it does have it's own little twist to it.

Anywho, in honor of, me I guess, here is a link to the current beta. Sadly since this is from Humble store and still in EA this file will not be updated in the future, so if you want a updated game in the future you will have to buy it. Needless to say, I hope you guys play with it a bit and have fun. I am now going to go get drunk.

https://mega.nz/#!WdJFVK7I!CI_wF4Tik9JvPKDZCQW6mA3XO8NMbXHGJ_NX5w8UWfc

>"it's too crowded here."

isn't that kind of the point?

>>4976083
Apparently not, as it pisses off peeps.

>tfw can't ruin the aesthetic of single paths to make a double path

Do you guys think you're on the spectrum?

>>4976108
Bitch, who isn't?

that autist who is making the boardwalk. What's more preferable
>Free entry, pay for rides
>Paid entry, free rides
>Paid entry, pay for rides
I'm thinking of making this a repay the loan type deal, since it's supposed to be an old, unpopular boardwalk

>>4940708
this, I want to play sim golf in 1080p

>>4976641
i always prefer pay for rides since it gives me more to do

40k per hour rides give me a huge boner while park entry fees do nothing for me

>>4976108
No, I don't think there's a single game on the Spectrum I'd even want to play.

Mobile bro back, sorry for the inactivity, just started dynamite dunes, made a neat mini coaster

>>4976641
free entry/paid rides seems to be themost balanced game mode in RCT2. Whenever I do paid entry/free rides, I feel like I have to resort to scummy tricks and stupid strategy to win. I like the sense of progression paid rides/free entry gives.

>>4977030
fix your resolution

>>4977030
>mobile
>"sorry for inactivity"

>>4975173
Thanks for this anon, I'd seen the game on steam but never bothered giving it a try. I'm pleasantly surprised. This ability to make actual buildings for restaurants and shops alone is enough to sell me on it.

>>4977914

Parkitect even has a mod community that can get you proper tables.

>>4977996
I see that.
Also a lot of nice new scenery parts, a freeflying camera, coastercam, and a ton of other cool stuff.
Makes me a little wet. I can't wait to really dive into this game.

>>4977475
A fucking phone isn’t a PC you jackass

that was a strike, but because of leone's placement, lol.

Cucktown is a such a great place to live.

>>4978971
Lefties hate suburban sprawl. You should only have dense urban there.

>>4978971
Looks like a fun city to explore in Streets of Sim City

Is Parkitect blogging okay here even if it's not "retro"? I've been playing with it a little more. I gotta say, I'm already in love with the coaster editor, it's like the best parts of both RCT and Planet Coaster, being parts like RCT that fit together but enough customization option for each piece that it feels like you have total control.
This is a lot of fun to play with.

>>4978971
I can't help but notice the dam isn't actually a dam at all, which is perfect.

>>4980274
>if its not retro

can you tell me the name of the board please

>>4980293
Man pls go and stay go, I'm genuinely curious as to what Parkitect is like and I'm not going to go out of my way to look for the info, so him posting a little about it is perfect.

>>4980274
It's allowed if kept to a minimum. If you feel like it's currently the main focus on the thread you've posted to much.

Also, how the fuck is that coaster supposed to work? It that a 90 degrees, twisted lifthill?

I found some PC games in a back closet, and for some reason old me decided to hold on to Big Biz Tycoon.
If you're unaware, Big Biz Tycoon is the English port of Venture Tycoon, a Korean business strategy game developed in cooperation with Seoul National University to teach teens about office administration, quality management, and the joy of sleeping on a cot in your workplace.
It's from 2002 so I can't even shitpost about it properly on /vr/.

Then I opened the case and found RCT2 Triple Thrill Pack inside, and my confidence in old me was restored.

Is Extreme Heights just bugged in OpenRCT2? Any roller coaster I build will never be used by people ever because the test results never finish. Even after half an hour of real time the results will still be not yet available.

>>4980717
The first two climbing segments have LSM launch to propel it upward, then it coasts up the last segment to level where it hits the brakes and slows to the holding point above the vertical drop for a second.
I'm really more just experimenting with the different pieces than making something practical.

>>4980417

I literally posted a download link so you can play it for free. >>4975173

Thoughts and/or suggestions? I'm trying to make the entrance be this 60s town area, and then I'll make Hollywood with 60s movies and even make a Vietnam area to surprise the hippies.

>>4981026
I know, but I don't have the time to invest in it by any stretch of the imagination. If I hacked away at my vidya backlog for another 3 months straight and nothing else came out in the meantime I could maybe consider playing it, but in lieu of that I want to live through you and you talking about what the game is like.

Here's more progress on the entrance.

Little more Parkitect, starting an actual park to play around with it and started throwing in mods.
Still really enjoying the comfy feeling of old-school RCT with the expanded building abilities.
Here's a building right inside my entrance with food, drinks, souvenirs, and an outdoor seating area on the second floor. The ability to make tables like this is all I've ever wanted in life.

>tfw banned for 3 days for posting dubs on /tv/
This area is starting to come together, only the coaster station still need to be built. The swinging ship looks a little out of place but I imagine that the park kept an old classic when they rebuilt the area.

>>4981832
>The ability to make tables like this is all I've ever wanted in life
As both Parkitect and Planet Coaster have working tables nowadays I'm really starting to miss it in OpenRCT2. But you can only demand so much from a 17 years old reverse engineered fan project.

Here's the parks water area. Currently only featuring a Mack Rides water coaster. I originally intended to have my usual rapids/flume combo but decided to switch it up a little. Still not sure what other rides this area will have, I feel like I've used all original rides that fit my park.

>>4981736

>I don't want to play video games.

go back to /v/

Hey /TCG, posted this in /rtsg/ /cbg/; and got redirected here (even though I got good answers). Want to chime in a recomendation?

Can you help me find a new casual comfy CBG to play? I want something where I can start from humble beginings and become a power house; but on casual mode. I don't have as much time as I used to, and need something I can easily drop and continue and few days (or weeks) later; without having to remember all the micromanagement I might have been doing. Also, while a bit of combat is OK, I don't want it to be a major aspect of the game. I've looked around at the following games, have you tried them? Would you recomend them?

Kingdoms and castles
Blueprint Tycoon
Anno series
Northguard
Urban Empire
Surviving Mars (seems like a lot of micro management?)

For reference, here are games I've like in the past:

Impression games (Zeus, Posseidon, etc.) G.O.A.T; butit might be nostalgia.
Banished (although it ended too quickly)
Factorio
Anno 1404
Tropico 3
Offworld trading company

I've played and enjoyed "bigger" games like the Europa Universalis 3 and 4, Endless Legends, Civ games, Empire series etc.; so I'm not scared of a bit of complexity, but would rather tone it down.

>>4982682
The Cultures series

>>4982682
>Surviving Mars
There's very little variation, it's more a survival game than a city builder.

Since this is /vr/ I'd recommend Caesar 2 or some of the early Settlers games.

>>4982372
how do you make queue paths look like that

>>4982839
It's a custom path without railings. You can download it here: https://www.nedesigns.com/rct2-object/4229/concrete/

HA HA

Anyone here like to pretend or even roleplay that the multiple parks they have made are under this one company you own and even build the same rollercoaster they built in one park and built it in another park? Maybe even name their parks kind of like how Six Flags and Disney do theirs?

First coaster is up, playing with scenery some more. I do like how, like Planet Coaster, lots of scenery objects are free of the grid and can be placed anywhere, makes things feel a lot more natural imo.

>tfw so autistic that i build parks just to justify building intricate monorail systems since there's no real monorail construction simulator
it's not like the parks are an afterthought, i still try to make a good park and think about what's needed, but my primary motivation is local transport.

does anybody have a link to the rct2 game files?

>>4983669
Just post it anon.

>>4984127
That first helix looks a to tight considering where on the ride it's placed. Junior coasters are usually gentle machines without strong forces.

>>4983669
>tfw you've played RCT your whole life, but age is starting to wear on you where you can't put in the effort of building intricate NE-tier megaparks and can only indulge in spaghetti

>>4984234
Find a GOG version on Google.

>>4982682

Anno is about the only one on that list I can recomend. I have a lot in Anno, most all of them are solid except for 2207 or whatever the latest one is.

Kingdoms and Castles is meh.

If you want some good Impression like builders, look up Lethis Path of Pregress. I absolutely love that game and it's very solid and enjoyable. Hearthlands is also good though it's art style sucks ass but it has a lot of content to it.

If you want games like Theme Hospital, look up Startopia, also a personal favorite of mine and I think it's only like $5 on steam.

If you want more Dorf Fort like games, Rim World, Oxegen not Included and Stone Hearth are all pretty solid.

If you want more classic tycooning look up Pizza Connection series. They are all fun. People consider 2 the best cause 3 had a pretty rough launch but 3 is fixed up and plays very well.

>>4984127

The best thing about Parkitect is that you can even choose the grid size and grid placement. It makes thing a hella lot easier for smaller objects.

>>4982926

>I can't take maybe 1-2 hours out of my time to try a new game to form an opinion of it.
>Giving a shit about your back log in general.

>>4982379
>what other rides this area will have
Go with the rapids, you already have one drop based ride in the coaster

>>4984323
It's not bad at all, takes it at around 30 mph, maxes out at .75g lateral force with the bank.

>>4985049
Here's the stats.
Fastest the ride goes is 38.5mph in the tunnel under the pond.

>>4985049
Reposting the stats since I just discovered the windows can be expanded to show all of them.

>>4985067

I still have no idea how test results stats work. I'm guess it's just like RCT only with the decimal over 1 more space.

>>4985086
From what I can tell, yeah, just like that.

I've been told I should get into city planning because I'm a whore for City Building and Tycoon games. But I just like painting masterpieces instead.

WTF career should I get into people

>go karts can be set to continuous circuit mode to prevent the victory lap

>>4985752
the answer IS "from the beginning"

Your pulling it further and further away from what he originally said. There's nothing wrong with a little bit of Parkitect in here and anyone proclaiming otherwise is a prancing lala homo man.

>here we see the early stages of Anonville, oil on canvas, ca. 2019

this thread is the best thread on 4chan. love you guys, you just introduced me to RTC2, I played it all day long. I almost forgot how older games sometimes were made with passion. The programming going on under the hood must have been mindboggingly

>>4987360
>The programming going on under the hood must have been mindboggingly

I still find it hard to believe it was all made by just one guy using assembly x86

Came from an era where EVERYTHING was assembly.

>>4987451
no, this man didnt just use assembler. Dont give me that. It would put my intelligence to shame.

I've never been very good at aesthetical building in any of these games but this is what I made for this ride.

What's your favorite type of rollercoaster to build in rct?

Least favorite?

>>4988863
Favorite: Hyper Twister
Least Favorite: Reverser Coaster

Reversers are just one-trick ponies and once you've built a good one, there's no reason to try again.

>>4988863
>Favorite
Either Wooden or Twisters because of how flexible they are.

>Least Favorite
Ignoring the obvious choices, probably Steeplechase for the low capacity and all the car designs for it clogging up the research.

>>4985067
what game is that?

>>4988863
>Favorite
Woodies. Among the ones I don't usually build I've been very fond of smaller Gigas and Dive machines lately.

>Least Favorite
Also ignoring the obvious, maybe Flying Coasters because of how limited their in game elements are compared to their real life counterparts.

Man, I remember I had developed a lot of clean industry for the town, I should get back into that soon.

>>4992547
I don't really think it looks messy, and I was trying to go for a theme of a coaster going around town.
