Alpha 18 is now available for download! The full change log is at the end of this post.
Devlog
Over the past week I’ve tweaked a lot how guests decide on which ride to go, and as a result you should be seeing way more guests queueing for a bigger variety of rides. As a result it‘s probably way too easy now to make a ton of money, so I’ll keep an eye on that during October.
Build Challenge
Our first Build Challenge is to build a Flying Coaster. It can have any theme or decoration, the only restrictions are the given build area and budget.
The top submissions get included in the next game update as default blueprints.
Experimental branch
We’ve got a new experimental version available on Steam. If some of you could help testing it that’d be very appreciated :)
You can opt into it by right-clicking Parkitect in your library list and selecting Properties -> Betas -> Experimental.
This experimental version is identical to the normal Alpha 18 but uses an updated version of Unity (the game engine we’re using) and we’d like to make sure it’s working properly before releasing it for everyone.
