Hi, we have an update for you!

Two new rides: Tilt Tower and Megashot

Quality of Life

New CyR parts

Other changes

• Integrated 2023 coaster challenge winner blueprints! Congrats to ZeeLeit, RanFox, player_uci, MikaGaming, flixbus!
• Integrated new supporter names. Thanks to everyone who supported us!

• Since Unity finally fixed our "Graphic Jobs", we have enabled them again. You should have better performance now :)
• CyR: Copy/Paste buttons in the top bar (still works with CTRL+C and CTRL+V)
• CyR: You can zoom out more now
• Ride hall height calculation (halls should be flatter now, especially for custom rides)
• Performance tweaks here and there

• Shiny facade upgrade not working on toilets (+ made the effect stronger on other buildings)
• Problems when placing decorations while paused
• CyR: Cloning broke after depth of more than 2 cloners
• CyR: "Mirror" cloning removed. It led to so many nasty bugs that it wasn't worth maintaining. (still works for old rides that already had mirroring disabled)
• CyR: Some objects were not offset correctly when using scale modifier
• CyR: Sometimes parts were not selectable where they are rendered (because colliders were not synced)
• Tutorial: Unlocking a research goal sometimes couldn't be completed if the player was already researching. Tutorial: Case where player could get stuck when building too many research buildings in advance
• Tutorial: Pathway building step could be checked by just hovering and not actually building.
• Research building buff could sometimes lead to negative research production.
• Wrong preview icon for inverted coaster skin
• Renamed "active research buildings" to "constructed research buildings"
• Some background exceptions
• Many small issues

• Twitch integration: Removed the "non-chatter" option for name pulling as Twitch has closed the corresponding APIs.

Dear Community, after we already had challenges for coasters and hall blueprints in the past, this time we want to focus on one of the most popular features in Indoorlands and start our first CREATE-YOUR-RIDE Challenge!
What is the process and what are the rules?

1. What is the submission period?

2. May I submit more than one ride?

3. How can I submit my ride?

4. What can I do if I have a great idea but the right parts for it are missing?

5. How are the winners determined?

6. What happens if my ride is chosen as challenge winner?

7. I have additional questions, where can I ask them?

Dear Indoorlands Community, following our last update we would like to start a new Community Build Challenge. This time it's all about rollercoasters and the new coaster skins we added:
Make sure you have the latest version of Indoorlands installed and familiarize yourself with the coaster editor. Below is a little tutorial to get you started. For decorations make sure one theming is over 75%. You may use all coaster hall types, but the three new ones are preferred:
We are really looking forward to your submissions and feedback! The most creative submissions will be integrated into the game as a default blueprint and the creator will be mentioned by name in the game. Do you want to support us in this project? Send your STEAM Workshop link to the appropriate Discord channel or post it here in the comments. The deadline for entries is 2023-02-05. Don't be shy and let loose! Here is the tutorial: [previewyoutube=knf0V1sBUek;full][/previewyoutube] And here a summary of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
We are very excited about your participation and are totally looking forward to it. - Your Team Pixelsplit

Dear Indoorlands Community, for as long as Early Access is ongoing, we want to give you the opportunity to participate in the development. That's why we want to launch the Community Build Challenge this week. The most creative submissions will be integrated into the game as a default blueprint. Also your name will be mentioned in the game. Would you like to support us in this project?

This is how it works:

The halls to choose from are:

Hello, since you haven't heard from us for a while, we would like to give you an impression of the current state of development. Last time we asked you to participate in a feedback questionnaire. Many of you did so. Your answers helped us a lot and will be taken into account in the development. Thanks a lot to all of you who participated!

What we are currently working on

Maintenance in your park

New, improved & more in-depth visitor simulation

Speaking of visitors, we are currently working on their appearance as well

Create-Your-Ride with new possibilities

Last but not least...

Hello, with an eye on the full version, we want to ask for your opinion. As promised, we want to use the Early Access phase to further develop Indoorlands together with our community. Now is the moment to do so. The resonance to the Create-Your-Ride mode as well as the more than 200 custom rides in the STEAM Workshop was overwhelming. With our feedback form you can now provide us with your honest opinion, wishes and ideas and have the chance to directly participate in the development process.

Your opinion matters!

• Create-Your-Ride Mode
• Deko-Blueprint System
• Park-Build Mode
• Research & Economy System

• Visitors always lost patience when looking for a toilet, even though they found one.
• Heatmaps popped back up when using the cleaning tool.
• Research buildings generated research even though they weren't connected to a valid path.
• Tooltips that sometimes do not disappear.
• The "Swing" ride could be parked without correct gondola rotation.
• The heatmap sometimes showed red color when it should have been grey.
• Quality levels in the settings were not localized.
• Cars floating in the air.
• Particle effect clipped through the hall walls.

Hi, we're still working on the major update, but in the meantime we wanted to fix a few issues we've received reports from you.

• The cleaners now move 16% faster.

• Sometimes the ride control toggles did not display the correct state
• The default ride program sometimes gave bonus stats (which is supposed to be the case only with custom ride programs)
• It was possible to save ride programs without names, which broke the UI a bit
• Too many research buildings could be built
• (Potentially fixed) Hall selection could sometimes stop working
• Rides programs list and blueprint list were not scrollable
• No shadows on Pendulum and Machine ride

What is still being worked on?

Hey, Today it's time for the next Indoorlands status update.

How is the beta going

What has changed in the game?

UI improvements

Balancing

Bugfixes

What to work on next

• Visitor logic will be further improved, so that visitors also want "park beauty" while walking through the park, for example (so you have to optimize walking paths accordingly)
• Improve the understandability of decoration points
• First statistics about the economy (income, expenses, profit / loss)
• Adding information to the tutorial regarding the core loop
• General stabilization of the game

Blueprints of the week

Hey, Today we would like to provide you with a new status update on the ongoing development of Indoorlands. But first, before we start with the update, one more important thing.

Closed Beta

New 'need system'

Level up the buildings

Tutorialization

Other changes

• We have finished cutting off decorative objects that protrude into the wall, as announced in the last status update. [previewyoutube=8hqYRy6SQ6Q;full][/previewyoutube]
• We have started to rework our sound system again, as the amount of sounds and their mixing was a bit overwhelming. For this we decided to switch to a completely new sound engine.
  
• An option has been added so that the park can also be displayed completely covered. However, we would like to further improve the visual variety here.
  
• In preparation for the upcoming beta and early access, we have integrated a submission form into the game that allows you to send bug reports from within the game. A screenshot will be taken automatically and the relevant logs will be sent, so that we can process requests efficiently.
• Some bug fixes, small optimizations and much more

Hey,

How's the development going?

What we have been working on lately:

The Blueprint System

Park Cleaning System

Making rides safer

More rides

What we want to accomplish prior Early Access release:

Cutting decorations

Re-iteration of the demand system

Expand the park

Is that all?
