Hello Everyone,
One of the more exciting features Theme Park Studio offers is coaster train construction and importing. This is a feature found exclusively in Theme Park Studio.
Custom train construction is as easy to use as our new Express Coaster Editor. This feature will roll out with the next stages. For a demonstration of its ease of use, refer to this video:

For the ultimate in customization, Theme Park Studio's other unique feature allows you to import any model you design. It will apply physics and animate based on simple naming conventions. There is no need to setup hierarchies, or apply joints. All you need to do is assign a tag to the name. During import, Theme Park Studio does all the work parsing your file and setting the hierarchy, links, and animations for you. If you want to get started building a custom train from scratch, we have added a new manual 'Importing Custom Trains' which can be found under Help/Documentation. This will explain the tags you assign and how train pieces are broken up.
Remember, if you are a casual user, and do not want to build trains from scratch, it is no problem. We will soon be rolling out our custom train construction set. Using this tool you can assemble a custom train within Theme Park Studio, with no need for external software.
With both these features being unique to Theme Park Studio, we offer the casual gamer and the advanced user the ultimate in custom train design.
On a final note: Congratulations to Jcat for being August Park of the Month Winner (seen here).
His park is available for download in Steam Workshop. 'Park of the Month' winners will be selected using a combination of community votes and careful internal review. Parks will be chosen based on creativity, park layout, environment, and coaster design. Winners will be presented on the Steam Announcement page, Facebook, Youtube channel, and in our newsletter. If you would like to submit your park as a Septembers park of the candidate, email [email protected]
Thank you all for your continued support
