Yeah, exactly. The theme of ToT is mystery, so the addition of extra elements that only observant people notice fits perfectly within the narrative - and the fact that it's optional lets the person who observes it become part of the story without having to explicitly tell them that.

I think the reason it stops making sense for you is because it's not the reason you feel you'd be doing that action, though. There's a difference between going into a building and being told why you're going into a building, and your concept and theirs not matching up. It breaks the inherent...

So I've been ruminated on this for a while, and I think I've come to understand how I feel (and I think as an extension, how Joey feels) about this. So there's two separate things I should define before I get into this: Story (or Plot) and Narrative. I think they're distinct things. I think...

^Yeah I was tempted to post that myself - I love effects that leave me stumped as to how they're done for ages. For example, I love the mirror/painting/door intro to the Beauty and the Beast show in the new Fantasyland bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrQLHvBZ-9I#t=02m11s The production...

^Aside from that very minor part, you're cracked it! ;) P.S. If you're a fan of crawling in dungeons (or elsewhere now!), get on Legend of Grimrock 2. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5sA_tyTM94 It's pretty much perfect?

So a small 3 person team is making a refreshed RCT-like sim game. It's on kickstarter as of an hour ago: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/15 ... /parkitect So uh, yeah. Get on this, everyone :D

t'Ultimate at Lightwater is the first thing that pops into my head. That causes bouts of proper, raucous laughter.

Re: Roller Coaster Tycoon 4 - for Apple Devices Only I can only apologise for my industry. Still, I'll give it a whirl to see how much I can handle. EDIT: I have no idea what I was even trying to say here before.

Tornado at M&D's. It didn't help.

Groveland? Yeah, not a huge surprise they went under. Was a flash in the pan really, lasted about... must've been 5 years? Glad someone else tried competing with Oakwood, I suppose. Shame it didn't work out.

There are lots of bad parks, lots of ugly ones, and lots of disappointing ones; but I think I've only been to one that was a national tentpole tourism destination that was all three at once. Now, I will preface this with the fact that I visited on the last day of a trip where we visited...

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 And the award for the most spiteful coaster in this month goes to...

It could just be that they're going for "generic fairytale" I suppose, and that Neverland is an easy trope to signify that, but as time goes on it just seems like their theming solution is "throw money at it so there's stuff to look at". I also love how they appear to have gone "Oh, London is...

So, having visited yesterday and gawping at a few bits of dirt and scaffolding, I can bring you breaking news, guaranteed to be never-before-read and totally exclusive. Still, the price has stayed the same (£21), and that new bit is actually Playtown with a lick of paint and a gateway (one that...

Sorry, Ian. A comment they made on facebook disagrees. I'll pop over soon, and maybe get us some exclusive dull pictures of new wooden fences.

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 The closer this gets to completion, the more this looks like how cartoons represent "extreme rollercoaster". Give it a name like Spewmaster3000™ and a subplot about not being tall enough to go on it, and you'd pretty much be there.

It's sort of interesting how the new chap has moved back to how Oakwood was set up originally - cheap rides with a theme - over the direction they took from '95 to '07 where they skimped on the theming and picked more quality, tentpole attractions (though I suppose the majority of you wouldn't...

^The image itself is clickable, but perhaps I should've made a more obvious link.

Source: Oakwood's Facebook Group. Mud! Insert snide remark here about the x number of pages Swarm/Smiler had before it was even pictures of mud.

I've been playing a video game I helped make! We submitted it to the app store yesterday, so it'll be up in a week or so. In the meantime, I'm going to Ollie it up in here and link to it, as well as the other two that were made at the same time. Also, they're all going to be free.
