Beta 9 is now available for download! The full change log is at the end of this post.

Devlog

Doing an Art Stream wasn’t possible this month, but we got a new ride for you anyways! Here’s the TopScan:
We also added three new basic default terrains to pick from when starting a new park so you got at least something more interesting to choose from than just the flat terrain until the campaign is released without having to generate a terrain using the scenario editor. The new maps are Lake:
River:
And Hills:
The park entrance for all default maps has been moved towards the center as well.
