Devlog

We added the Mini Monorail from this months Art Stream:
It’s a low-capacity, but also low-cost transport ride especially suitable for small parks (or short distance transportation in a bigger park). While working on the campaign we noticed that the bigger Monorails we already had make most sense in big parks and the Miniature Railway can be hard to fit into existing parks, so this new Mini Monorail nicely complements the transportation options in the game filling these gaps. Garret continued adding and animating ride lights:
And Gordon finished a great new background music song! You can listen to a preview here.

Beta 6 Build Challenge

For Beta 6 the new Build Challenge is to build a Giga Coaster! There's a special new rule for this challenge: You can't use more than $10,000 of your budget on scenery. There's a display telling you how much you can still spend on scenery items above the "Submit" button, so keep an eye on that! The top submissions get included in the next game update as default blueprints.
