/vr/ct was starting to falter, so in a last ditch effort to stay alive, it opened up to other tycoon/citybuilder games and became /tcg/ - Tycoon/City Builders General.
It helped for a little while, but it finally died out in February.

Mods put a 1 week time limit on threads, so they stop bumping after 7 days, and only on /vr/.

God knows why, some of the best threads on /vr/ are the long winded ones where people talk a lot about a game over weeks, and it kind of kills a lot of the good generals on here.
Big ones like /doom/ and /homm/ seems to survive, because they're populous, but it's nearly impossible to keep the RCT/Sim generals running like this, which is unfortunate, because I think these threads can be very nice.

Nobody knows why they're doing this, and just on this board, and for how long they intend for it, but I really want them to stop it and restore it back to normal.

>> No.5602004

I recently picked this back up and got really serious about the coaster design. As a kid I could only handle the business and scenery theming parts of it, but couldn't grasp the idea of a coaster being too awesome that it somehow sucks.

I was really surprised that google didn't turn up any forums or archives of people's ride designs. Think that would be an easy file to share, and a community around this. The wiki was pretty impoverished too. Couldn't get any data about internal mechanics.

I've been trying to build coasters with optimum excitement, safety, and throughput for as little space as possible. Anybody else enjoy compacting rides?

For the life of me, I can't build a steel mini coaster that's better off with spinning cars than the default. It almost always makes the ride worse. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

>> No.5602203
