Half a year ago Parkitect 1.0 has been released, which seems like a milestone worthy of a small update!
Todays free update adds the following:
Knight costume for Entertainer
A fitting costume for the medieval deco theme
Photo Spots
Encourage your guests with these new path objects to marvel at your scenery and take a photo of especially beautiful places
Boat Dark Ride
A pretty high-capacity gentle water ride where guests ride in boats through nicely themed scenery. The boats have no restraints so this ride is only capable of very small drops.
Flat ride modding support
Thanks to contributions by Michael P the Parkitect Asset Editor allows modders to create completely custom flat rides now, such as this Barrel Dance ride by p.marcell
In other news, due to Garret being located in Canada and me in Germany were forced to work remotely which is working fine, but I had grown a bit tired of working from home every day for the past five years of Parkitect development. So over the last few months Ive been busy with setting up a proper small office and weve hired a second full-time programmer.Thanks to your support Parkitect has done really well and is continuing to do so, which allowed us to do this. Were all set up now to continue supporting Parkitect and new projects eventually and cant wait to pick up work at the new place in about three weeks :)
