[RCT2] New Project

[CoasterRider245]

Hey guys,

 

It's been just under 2 years since I last posted here. During most of that time, I've hardly played RCT2 at all but have recently started to get back into it again, since I find that the game has a real nostalgic feel about it. I've been playing more and more, especially on a file I first started all that time ago, which I've built up to a stage that I want to share some images of it to see what you guys think.

 

Despite such a large time gap, I still feel like I'm heavily inspired by the people I was 2 years ago, such as Folf with his incredible Echinema parks. On that note, I'm also still strictly using NCS only, since I feel that you can still create great parks without an overload of small scenery pieces.

 

Not sure how often I will update the park, or how far it will go, but it's definitely a lot of fun playing again, and I can't wait to see where this goes!

The entrance plaza, also consisting of one of three monorail stations which link the park to other hotel areas of the resort.

 

 

 

 

Some general main street views, showing the facades lining both sides as well as the main park plaza. The area has two attractions; a cinema, and a carousel.

 

 

Something I've been working on recently. Premise is a pirate themed land, and I like how it's coming along.

(I also know how intrigued all of you will be that Lana K is walking at the time the picture was taken)

 

 

Overview so far

 

 

The park doesn't have a name yet, but I'll probably come up with one to suit it soon.

Thanks for viewing!~

EXTREMELY nice work on the architecture. It looks absolutely beautiful! I cannot wait to see where this project goes!

You should absolutely show this at New Element also. You may be able to get yourself an accolade with this one if you finish it.

 

I'm a big fan of that flume and it's interaction with the train. There's some great park planning here... seriously, please finish this. It's a very unique style of NCSO and even though there are a ton of random pieces in your architecture it seems very cohesive and is very pleasing to the eye.

 

I'll say this, it's very obvious that you improved greatly from the time you built the entrance to the time you worked your way back a little further. Because of this I'd suggest maybe cleaning that area up a little to bring it up to the quality of the rest of the park. It really only needs a few updates though.

Thanks! I'm really trying to stretch myself with this project in terms of the architecture and layout.

Thanks! Posting on NE is something I've been thinking about, but I want to make sure that I intend to complete this as a realistic looking park (Instead of a space to throw in my random ideas) before I really look into it further.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I haven't done all that much since I last posted, though, based on coasterbill's comment, I've gone back and looked at how I could change some of the earlier sections since I fully agreed that the change in build style was quite noticeable. In the end, I've ended up redoing the main entrance plaza, moved and upgraded the monorail station and updated a few things on the main street to try to pick it all up in quality.

 

 

The new main plaza is MUCH bigger, and I've ditched the road idea that's visible in the top right of the last picture I showed. The monorail station also now looks like what it's supposed to be.

 

 

 

The new entrance to the park, which imo looks a lot cleaner than before.

 

 

I haven't really added much to this side of the main street, but I realized I never showed it last time so thought I would now.

You should absolutely complete it as it's very good, but regardless I would suggest posting it there if you're considering it. The focus is now highly on screenshots and many of the things posted on the home page never get finished.

 

As far as the new screens they look great. It's always nice to see people going back and improving things.
