Devlog
Devlog Update 104! I guess that means 2 years of weekly devlogs, wow :)
Garret modeled a Motion Simulator ride during this weeks Art Stream. At just 2x2 tiles it is the smallest ride in the game and should work nicely to fill some gaps in parks that are running out of space.
Getting the animation working in the game with the hydraulics and all turned out to be a bit more difficult than originally expected, but here it is:
(Animation shortened for GIF)
And we added cloud shadows:
They’re fairly subtle but help visualize the current weather a bit better.
Team
I’ve been the sole programmer working on Parkitect so far and it would’ve been cool to finish it alone... there’s a bunch of work left though and our sale numbers are looking good enough that we can afford to bring on some people to lower the work load and speed things up a bit, so Luuk and Tim from ParkitectNexus are joining us part time to help with programming tasks.
Welcome to the team! :D
