Stunning.
Alpha 2 is 25 May our time, iirc.
-
Agreed, and I'm sure they'll do something about it before Beta. Probably by giving the option for up to 30m wide paths.
You can make square edges to paths, by switching 90degree snap on and length=1.

This is a bit off topic, but given how they're decorating the buildings there, could Superman also be up for something similar come it's long downtime later this year?
Great idea.

also i thought the tower was going to be taller than that?
Look at the top of the pole - there's bolt points for something else to go onto it.

A stunning resort hotel added to the game. This is stunning for 1st Alpha. Next alpha is May 24-25ish. More theming, coasters, amongst other things.

Wrong side of the motorway, TPG. Look east of the reservoir.
I wish I remember more of my visit there (22 November 1997 - I remember the date as the park staff were talking about Michael Hutchence dying earlier that day.). I do remember riding the Demon, Space Probe 7 and the Bush Beast...

I've had no issues with jumping into a guest's head and looking around as they walk. The "1st person" mode is available, but the movement speed is not limited to guest speed, it's still at park design overall mode speed. Being in this mode won't lock you to guests' head height, if your angle of view is up or down you'll move towards that altitude.
Here's some fantastic work, the creator has even recreated an art piece of old docks in the game.

A lot of the pros are keen for Alpha2. I coincidentally have that week off work.
My graphics card is the Radeon R9 200 Sapphire. My CPU is the weak, WEAK (don't laugh!) part of the system, a duo E8400 @ 3.00 GHz and only 4GB of ram. I'm looking at my Tax Refund for a CPU/motherboard/RAM upgrade. I'm using a SSD and that helps only so much..
Here's my list of players to MUST watch. Links to their YouTube channels:
Others I check in on occasionally:
Lots of good stuff out there, check out the Planet Coaster Forums, the Planet Coaster Reddit and YouTube.

Great to hear!
Sadly my "main" park is killing my PC, it's only half built and not going to be that big of a park. My Graphics card is a year old, but my CPU/mobo/RAM are almost 4 years old and letting me down. It's got me running at under 10 FPS as the CPU can't deal with the processing of 1200 individual guests' decision making, path finding etc. The alpha currently inserts 200 guests per ride into the park. Thinking of deleting rides and focusing on themeing instead.
Might just make a new park, but think Aussie World in size, not Disney.

Honestly, I'm not all that bad with bullshit these days
If you've watched VII and have watched the Rogue One trailer, then you'll know Disney is going full serious with being PC by putting female leads. They're only doing it to be PC, Disney don't give two shits about equal rights, it's just for PC points.
..because Star Wars has never had Female or non-Caucasian fans.
It's not PC, it's broadening your fanbase with great stories and characters that appeal to not just white straight men.
I came to Parkz today because I heard about an incident on the ride. Figured I'd find the actual reason it happened here. (Eventually).
-
The sound of that ride is one I'll never forget. Only got to ride it about a half dozen times.
Last time was on a rainy day, they only allowed 8 of us on at a time (24 seat train?) as "too many and it goes too quick for safety - you'll get the quickest ride today!", said the RideOp.
Never knew if it was true or not...

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

Well with storms on Monday we'll see if they're gonna be moved.

update on Tiger Island
[some images snipped out]
Looks like the Lair and main Tiger display/show area are untouched, at the moment. I wonder if they still take the Tigers out into the main area (before/after demolition work) to stretch their legs/provide familiarity?
-
...because they have a 10 year "outdoor" lifetime?
-
Can't wait for more themed assets.
-
This coaster runs through a jungle area, but as it returns to the main castle its' last corner is through a pub. Happy with how this has turned out. The guests can't sit on the barrels or walk onto the wooden area, it's for decoration only.
-
I'm gobsmacked.
Silvarret is a maestro. He's added a Japanese themed area, and now a bible for customising your buildings.
-
Been playing for one day.
ONE DAY.
Already dreaming about it.
RTS/SIM games apparently do that to you.
-
I'm clearing space on my gaming calendar for this game.
I'll get to you eventually, ME3!!
-
It's been a while since I've been itching to get home after work to play a computer game.
(After I broke my MMO addiction last year, that is!
)

An Aussie named Flabaliki is doing a similar thing to Silvarret, but a few steps down the ladder in minute detail but still explains the how, what and why in his work. His work is the Pirate theme with homage to Harry Potter.
-
I'm very tempted but it's currently over $90 AUD to get it and the EarlyBird access.
It's just under $40 AUD if I wait for the actual game release in Q4 this year.
Convince me, @reanimated35!!

Silvarret has just uploaded Part 5. His work is stunning. Such intricate detail with the limited resources available, as said above.

How annoying and immersion-breaking is the flash photography in that PotC video?
