Daar heeft Atari inderdaad op ingezet als quick cash grab.. Ik denk niet dat Atari in deze vorm nog een lang leven is beschoren. Ze zijn ook eigenlijk Inforgrames.
Mijns inziens vooral vervelend voor de mensen die het hebben gekocht op basis van de eerdere delen en verder niet zo thuis zijn in de game nieuws-wereld.

IMPROVEMENTS
Animations
We have seen a ton of feedback and video of peeps not sitting in rides correctly. With this update, we are addressing some of these concerns while we continue to work on additional improvements to the system to make it better:
Age positions: Peeps now adjust their position according to age to avoid clipping;
Peep AI: Peeps are now moving at all times; yes, they were sometimes flocking at the entrance of the park with some thoughts, and this has been fixed.
.
After much development, testing, and feedback following our last blog (please keep it coming), we are happy to release update #3!
For this update we really focused on improving our coasters. Based on your feedback, we made adjustments to our physics system, stats and pre-made coasters. First you will notice that our pre-made coasters are new and improved! They have been updated to look and behave more realistically. For those of you who have a pre-made coaster in your park currently, you may need to replace it with one of our updated versions to ensure it works properly.
We also made an update to our physics system. Your coasters will now react more realistically to your track designs. As a result of these updates, some of your previous designs may need to be tweaked a bit.
For those longtime RCT fans, you will also notice we have added a new feature called “Grease Your Tracks.” When you check this box it will ease the friction and the physics will be a bit looser. Test it out, and see how you like it!
Additionally, we’re launching new highly requested features, including an RGB color picker for your coaster tracks. We are going to call this particular feature at “Alpha Stage”, because it is the very first step to a larger system, and we plan to spend more time fixing bugs associated with it. That said, it’s just too cool not to release today!
On the art side, we are currently developing new content such as this new Gold Mine Scenery Centerpiece (released today). This scenery item will allow you to build coasters and paths through its tunnels, giving a unique look and feel to your park. Take a look:
Check out the awesome new Gold Mine scenery centerpiece! It has tunnels big enough to fit a coaster through. The two mountains connected by the bridge are all one piece.
Water is important to us and with the feedback received, we wanted to refine the water and address some feedback for this update. We added dynamic real-time reflections and also tweaked some of the water shaders for increased realism. Check it out:
This image shows the difference in water from before to now.
Lastly, we spent a considerable amount of time improving existing features and, of course, fixing bugs! In particular, we wanted to mention we made a number of bug-fixes associated with UGC downloading issues.
See below for the full list of what’s contained in this update and to get a peek at what we are working on next!
NEW FEATURES AND CONTENT
Coasters: Added an RGB color chooser for tracks! *NOTE – this feature is still in Alpha and will be expanded and improved upon in the future.
Coasters: Grease your tracks option added to the coaster tool! Want to keep your coaster physics similar to what they were prior to this update? Simply check off the “Grease your Tracks” option in the coaster builder.
Content: Added spotlights to your Décor scenery. Cool new ways to light up your park and rides at night!
Content: Added new Western Gold Mine scenery to Centerpieces. This new scenery item is a beautiful big centerpiece that has mineshafts and tunnels through which you can run your coasters and paths!
Graphics: Added real-time reflections to water. The water now accurately and beautifully reflects the environment and objects around it.
UGC: Added a button/ranking system to In-Game Hubs. Players can now vote on their favorite UGC items via the in-game hubs. Those rankings will now be displayed in both the Steam Workshop and In-Game.
IMPROVEMENTS
AI: Janitors and Mechanics are much more effective reducing overall urine/puke in the park.
Animations: Improved animation for children peeps on Helter Skelter and Hay Rides.
Animations: Improved animation for mechanics and medics.
Animations: Numerous general animation improvements.
Coasters:
Physics: Friction on coasters should now be much closer to real world values.
Note: This means you may need to tweak prior coaster designs to ensure they still run properly. If you want to ease the friction and physics simply check off the “Grease Your Tracks” option in the coaster builder.
Note 2: We are still working on Coaster Physics and Stats but we wanted to release this incremental update not only to show progress but also to ensure we are headed in the right direction. Please give us feedback!
Pre-Made Coasters: We have updated many of the pre-made coasters to make them work with the new physics. They now have the new friction system in mind, better stats, and also reflect higher levels of realism. This process however is still on-going.
Stats: Banking curves now reduces the lateral G’s generated further than before.
Stats: Coaster stats should be easier to keep below 12 intensity – watch your lateral G’s though!
Graphics: We have done our “First” pass on sci-fi textures. We are in the process of revamping all of the sci-fi textures to make them better and more realistic. Let us know what you think!
UGC: Manual Refresh Button added. We have added a manual refresh button to the in-game UGC tools to allow you to manually refresh your content.
UGC: Paging System Added. Just like on the Steam Workshop you now have the option to page through content in-game to make it easier to find improving the user experience.
UX/UI: Park expansion button moved into the main HUD so it’s more visible.

KNOWN ISSUES
We are still working on a number of bugs, tweaks, and other fixes. In particular, we’re focusing on the 57% loading bug. While we work to resolve this and other issues with future updates, we wanted to call out an excellent guide made by a member of our community that, in the interim, has helped resolve a number of issues for users experiencing the 57% bug, blackscreen issues, or similar problems. Please check it out!
Additionally, it’s super important for you to continue to give us feedback, suggest improvements, and report bugs! We are reading it all and prioritizing our work based on what you tell us.
WHAT’S NEXT
With our first major pass on coaster physics now done our team is shifting its focus to all things AI for our next big update. We want to make sure that the staff functions more efficiently, your peeps are smarter, and that in general your park feels more responsive to what you are building and doing. Of course we will also continue to iterate on what we have released and improved thus far!
A side note on paths – we are aware of the frustrations people are experiencing with paths. We have read your feedback and are working on the overall path system. While the fixes won’t be included in our next update, know that we are working hard on these improvements.
In terms of peeps and their animation - We have read your comments and are working hard on improving our animation system as well as our peeps quality – we will have more news on this once we progress further on this effort.
The whole team is feeling inspired and we hope you find time to share some of the great stuff you are making in our new Creativity Forum! Also be sure to check out our Forums and Social Media pages as our community team will be featuring more and more user-made creations and parks!
Here’s a sneak peek at a park by fan "Deathtome" which we will be featuring this week:

It’s time for our next update! This update contains a number of “under-the-hood” fixes, improvements, and a few new in-progress features. As we continue with our production timeline, some updates or patches, like this one, may have less immediately obvious visual impact in-game. However, it’s important to know that the changes now being made to the core infrastructure of RCTW will pay enormous dividends as we continue through and beyond Early Access.
In the last few weeks, our focus has been on AI. This is NOT the final AI update, but rather our first patch on the system since Early Access launched. You will notice peep bathroom and staff behavior are improved. Park staff will now better spread themselves around your park and janitors will clean up messes in a more orderly fashion. As a head’s up, you might have to adjust the number of staff in your park for better results. Additionally, peep emotes and thoughts are improved and more helpful! Let us know what you think by visiting our “Early Access Forums”.
As before, our plan is to make incremental improvements on a variety of systems, see what you think, make sure we are going in the right direction, and then expand on those improvements. So to reiterate - while AI has had a major overhaul, it is just the start of all the improvements we want to do to the system. We need your feedback to make sure we are on the right track!
In other news, we have also improved certain game visuals. We’ve increased the texture quality of all our peeps and improved the level of details on various scenery items. Also, in this update, you will have your first peek at our new Screen Space Reflections system; it is not fully implemented yet and still in development, but look out for new reflections that have been added to a number of objects. We, however, will reserve the before-and-after screenshots for when the feature is fully implemented.
Lastly, but certainly not least, some of you may have noticed that the Adventure Ruins centerpiece scenery object snuck into our last update. We have improved the visuals a bit and are now officially releasing it! It’s exciting to see how much everyone is loving these bigger centerpiece scenery objects, so expect us to add more as we go!
Check it out:
This is the new Adventure Ruins Centerpiece!
It’s been a busy few weeks here at Team RCTW. We are amazed by all the awesome User-Generated Content being placed into the Steam Workshop and the incredibly inspired Screens/Videos we are seeing in the Creativity Forum. We are so happy to see that that forum has really taken off! It seems like UGC is really making its mark on the community and unlocking a ton of awesome creations!
From our Community Team, here’s a sneak peek at this week’s Featured User ChrisG’s park:
This is a shot from this week's feature user's ChrisG’s park!
Thank you for all the support, the incredible feedback, and most importantly – the inspiring parks we are seeing being made!
Until the next post, see you on the forums, and in the meantime, see below for the full list of what’s contained in this update and to get a preview at what we are working on next!
Team RCTW
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the full list of what’s in today’s update, and a preview of what we are working on:
NEW FEATURES AND CONTENT
Content: Added the new Adventure Ruins scenery to Centerpieces. This new scenery item is a huge adventure ruin that will surely add to the ambiance of your adventure parks. It’s full of holes and paths for your coasters to run through.
Peeps: Peep emotes have additional information! When a peep triggers an emote it will now also display a + or +++ to clearly show this emote indicates a change in the peep’s status.
UI/UX: Peep thoughts are now grouped! This will allow you to see common trends and thoughts among your peeps more easily.
UI/UX: Pin panels in place! We added a new pin icon to all the windows so you don’t have to worry about them moving around anymore.
IMPROVEMENTS
Coasters: Deleting a highlighted segment while in freeform mode now highlights the previous segment automatically.
Coasters: Further revisions to a number of premade coasters following our physics update and feedback from you.
Coasters: It’s now possible to delete the first segment of coasters (with the exception of the accelerator coaster).
Graphics: Improved the texture quality of all peeps. Their textures will now be of much higher quality.
Graphics: Number of improvements on the LODs for flowers and plants.
Peeps: Improved the animations and interactions when picking up a peep. Just click on a peep, hold the right mouse button and drag the peep into the air.
Peeps: Improved the peep thoughts to be more descriptive.
Peeps: Peep emotes are now more closely linked with peep thoughts, making it easier to see what’s going on with an unhappy peep.
Performance: A number of graphics meshes have been optimized increasing performance.
Performance: A number of meshes are now pooled increasing performance.
UI/UX: Added slight contrast to white track during the track builder to better differentiate it from the track highlight color.
UI/UX: Clicking the track while in the test tab will now put you back into track edit mode.
UI/UX: Improved the look of the button prompts in the tutorial.
UI/UX: Increased the size and readability of the strength slider for the track builder’s mechanical elements.
UI/UX: Tool tip placement is now more consistent throughout the entire UI.
UI/UX: Updated the finance screen to now fit 5 columns of data.
UI/UX: Updated the sci-fi arch screenshots.
UI/UX: When in the track tab, putting the cursor on the HUD and back out again will no longer cause you to lose your current segment selection.
ALPHA FEATURES – IN PROGRESS - FEEDBACK NEEDED
This list contains features that are in progress, have had a first pass at improvements, or at an Alpha stage. Occasionally, we will develop features or improve on things that we need more feedback on from you. These are items that we want to release but are still considered “work in progress”.
Graphics: IN PROGRESS: Screen Space Reflections. We are in the process of rolling out screen space reflections. It’s been added to a few objects in the game. Let us know what you think!
Peeps: ALPHA FEATURE: Peeps now have a vomit effect! See what happens when they get off a vomit-inducing ride.
UI/UX: ALPHA FEATURE: Dynamic increments for measurements when using your scroll wheel! Scroll slowly and your objects will move in smaller increments than if you scroll quickly. This will allow for more precise placement of objects. Let us know what you think!
Peeps: FIRST PASS - Numerous AI Improvements:
Peeps will now "hold" their nausea and bladder, even if it's extreme, if they're heading for a bathroom and they're within a certain distance of it.
Peeps will now incorporate distance to bathrooms when scoring them, prioritizing closer bathrooms over more distant ones. We will continue imploring peeps to use the bathroom when they have to pee, and only resort to the path in the most extreme or unfortunate circumstances.
Peeps will now address nausea, hunger, thirst, and bathroom when their stats are lower than before, giving them more opportunity to deal with these issues before they're a serious problem.
Peeps should take much longer before becoming injured as a consequence of extremely high nausea, bathroom, hunger, and thirst.
Peeps should no longer buy drinks when hoping to soothe their hunger. We have informed them that food will be much more effective for this purpose.
Staff: FIRST PASS - Numerous AI Improvements:
Park Staff will now spread themselves out more evenly in your park.
Janitors will now clean messes in a more orderly fashion.
Previously, we reduced janitor clean times dramatically to help keep your park clean. We've spoken to Janitors again and asked them to take a little more time with their tasks. That said, you may need to adjust the number of janitor buildings and staff to make sure your park is nice and tidy!

KNOWN ISSUES
We are still working on a number of bugs, tweaks, and other fixes. With each update we address a number of bugs and make a ton of improvements, but sometimes this may cause new things to break in the process. Our focus on Early Access is getting updates out faster to you so that we can get feedback earlier in the process. If you see a bug please report it HERE. Feedback on what you seeing implemented should go HERE.
For a general guide on fixes and troubleshooting steps (including the one for the 57% bug) suggested by the community to a number of common issues please visit THIS GUIDE.
WHAT’S NEXT
Now that our simulation team has made their first pass on AI, they will be turning their attention to reading more of your feedback, further tweaking/balancing what is implemented, and expanding the capabilities of the system further. One of their next targets is to improve the nausea system so expect more improvements in the next couple of weeks.
For our next update you will see further improvements on AI as more medium and longer term tasks get checked in. For example, we are still working on our “Nausea” system. Expect in our next update that peeps will now have a minimum Nausea Tolerance of 1 (up from 0), and peeps with higher minimum Intensity Preferences will also receive a boost to their Nausea Tolerance.
Additionally, we currently have a specialized team working on paths! This team is working on the main frustration points of our path system and fixing bugs. This is an important task and a top priority in the upcoming weeks. You should expect a number of fixes, frustration point removals, and general improvements to the path system over time. Already, in our next major update, some improvements will be noticeable. Of course, we have planned a few surprises along the way as well!
We also have noted a number of users asking about performance improvements. While performance will improve incrementally with each update, we do have a number of larger initiatives underway that we expect will solve the problem more holistically. Those, however, are taking some time to implement. We will share more updates once we get a bit further along.
Ghost reportin'. Somebody call for an exterminator?
Today we’re coming to you with a new RCTW UPDATE! In this week’s update you’ll find an Alpha version of our brand-new SCENARIO EDITOR, allowing you to build custom scenarios from your saved games! You can start creating fun and challenging scenarios for you and your friends today, and with a future update you’ll be able to share your scenarios through our UGC system! Additionally, the patch contains a host of under-the-hood improvements to AI, Performance, Water reflections, heatmaps, and paths, along with two new Scenarios and a rocking new Flatride - the Theater!
SCENARIO EDITOR – ALPHA VERSION
For the first time in RCTW, you’ll now be able to create your own custom scenarios. Today is just the first step of this easy-to-use new feature. Simply build a park in Sandbox mode, enter the “Scenario” mode from the main menu and click “Create New Scenario.” From there you can adjust objectives including park value and rating, guest satisfaction, ride quality and many more, seamlessly creating custom scenarios to play out in your Sandbox park. In our next update, you will be able to upload your scenarios via our UGC System to test other players’ skills, or download scenarios you find in the workshop. As a reminder - this is an ALPHA VERSION of this feature and we really need your feedback so please be sure to provide it in our Feedback Forum.
Additionally, we’ve added two more pre-made Scenarios, bringing the total number up to 8! Give them a whirl!
FLATRIDE

In this update you’ll also find path fixes, improved water features, improved AI heatmaps, and general bug, performance and animation improvements. Please continue to let us know about any other bugs and tech issues you find!
PARK STAFF - HEAT MAPS
With today's update we are further expanding our Staff Heat Maps feature. Now, when you add a new Park Staff building to your park, your park will enter into “heat map mode”, making it effortless to locate other buildings of the same type in your park. To further refine your park layout, you can turn individual Park Staff heat maps on and off by navigating to your Heat Maps menu.
COMING SOON
Be on the lookout in our coming updates for improvements to our staff heatmaps, and enhanced patrol zone controls for park staff. Also, as you play through this new build you’ll notice that we’ve greyed out a few new options within RCTW. Without giving too much away, we're working on an exciting new roller coaster, UGC Mode for the Scenario Editor, and a few surprises along the way! Stay tuned!
Lastly, we’d like to give sincere thanks for the kind words about our last patch. With your support, feedback, and inspiration, the team is working tirelessly to make RCTW better and better.

Happy Summer, and welcome to RCTW Update #8! The focus of today’s update is primarily on the staff system and implementing an Alpha version of Staff Patrol Areas. We’ve also made improvements to how peeps are picked up, adjusted the camera when editing coasters, made further performance optimizations to flatrides and foliage, and added the ability to share custom Scenarios via the Steam Workshop!
STAFF PATROL AREAS (ALPHA VERSION)
Today we are releasing the “Alpha” version of Staff Patrol Areas. Each building can now have as many unique patrol areas as it has employees. Each patrol area can be built up to 8 segments (and segments don’t have to be contiguous). To assign a staff member to a patrol area simply pick them up and drop them into the area you want them to patrol. Employees still belong to their building and will rest there when not patrolling. However, now they will only address problems within the patrol areas they’re assigned to!
We're continuing to work on this feature, and you should see additions and improvements in the coming weeks.
PICKING UP PEEPS (IMPROVEMENT)
We heard your feedback and have made it easier to pick up and drag peeps and staff. Right clicking on a peep will now pick them up! Left clicking on a peep summons their info panel just like before. Additionally, you may either right click once to pick up and then click again to drop OR you can right click and hold to pick up and then release the mouse button to drop.
PERFORMANCE
For this latest patch, we have further optimized a larger number of flatrides and have now turned our attention to foliage. The team is going through every tree, bush, and flower in the game - not only making them look better but also decreasing their impact on performance. We are now able to accomplish this thanks to some new tech we have implemented over the last few months. Be on the lookout for beautiful foliage and more as we roll out further updates!
We also know that one of the largest issues players face is an overall decrease in FPS with larger parks or large numbers of peeps. We have been working on a solution that we expect to solve this, however it involves not only our team but the core engine of the game as well. The goal is to significantly increase FPS without affecting visual quality at all. We are confident we can achieve; we will of course keep everyone appraised of progress on this initiative in future blogs.
CUSTOM SCENARIO SHARING
Today we are giving players the ability to share their custom scenarios via the Steam Workshop using the in-game UGC tools. Now you can make an awesome new scenario and share it with all your friends! See who can beat your scenario the fastest!
Hello Tycoons!
Strap yourselves in and get ready for a NEW PATCH. Update #9 brings a brand-new Looping coaster, colored queues, and a sleek new UGC landing page, along with a number of improvements to Staff systems, terrain, graphics, user interface and user experience. As always, the improvements below are just a small part of the work our team is doing. Updates like what you see today are developed in tandem with larger, more involved feature sets, which will be coming down the road very soon! In the meantime, read on for the specifics of today’s update!
LOOPING COASTER
Take a spin (or 10) on our brand-new Looping Coaster! This handsome square-ribbed steel coaster is ideal for performing inversions, and comes with 5 exquisite pre-built coaster designs. Find it under the “Coaster” menu and bring your coaster crafting to the next level.
COLORED QUEUES
After laying out your queue lines, you can now select a queue and modify the color of its railing and footpath. Simply click on a placed queue to bring up the queue color customization menu. This new feature provides even deeper customization and control, as you can now match your queue lines to the custom colors of your coasters and tracks! Let your inner artist run wild!
UGC LANDING PAGE
We’ve built an all-new landing page for your UGC content. This page will highlight the coolest and most popular featured items from the RCTW community! Popular screenshots have a chance to be featured on the top of the page, so keep checking back to the RCTW UGC menu to see the greatest creations from our endlessly imaginative Tycoons.
GENERAL GAME IMPROVEMENTS
For this latest patch, our team has continued to make improvements to current game systems. Highlights include usability updates to our Staff system, performance updates centered on tree scenery optimizations, improved load times when accessing saved parks, and more! See the full list of changes below.
COMING SOON
As always, we have a number of new features and fixes on the horizon. Be on the lookout for additional improvements and new content coming soon!

Mattlab posted this list of FREE updates to the community just prior to Rollercoaster Tycoon World going live as Early Access. I was sold on this list of promised features and hence did not avail of the refund. I see you now talking about leaving Early Access while this list of promised free features has not been fully implemented into the game. If Rollercoaster Tycoon World releases without this list of promised features being in the game, I will be seeking answers or a refund.

Parkitect schijnt ook wel aardig te zijn, maar is nog steeds early access.
Kunnen we dan niet beter massaal overstappen op Planet Coaster?

Dat is inderdaad het enige juiste advies. Wel jammer voor de mensen die RCT gekocht hebben.
