A new game that captures the feeling of classic SimCity would really be amazing

Hey hey I can finally share what I've been up to which was creating concepts and models for the Dinos & Dynasties Parkitect DLC! πŸ’– Had a blast working on these, we hope you all enjoy! :D

(tried making a quick shrine to display my Minotaur son πŸ˜†)

Surprise, we just released a new deco-focused DLC for Parkitect!
Dinos & Dynasties adds two new themes (Dinos and Ancient World) and three new attractions.
There's also a free update that adds a cheat menu for sandbox mode.

Get Dinos & Dynasties here: store.steampowered.com/app/3919200/...

Finally reached my favorite part of development: polishing the object placement animations 😊

A graph. "Confidence in Quality of Game" on the Y axis, "TIME" on the x. The line starts out confident but by the end is fucking all over the place.

Reminded of this important document, as true today as it was TEN years ago.

We recently worked on peeking into houses a lot, making sure it's working smoothly and adding some animations for polish 🏑

Free Update Showcase | Parkitect 6th Anniversary

Surprise! We released a free update for Parkitects 6th anniversary today that adds a new custom campaign editor.
Can't wait to see what it'll be used for :)

Nope never applied, as you said wasn't aware and looking at it now due to how international we are we probably wouldn't have been eligible unfortunately (could argue for 50% located in Germany maybe but not majority).
And sure! Maybe at Gamescom or so, would be nice :)

The idea for the carriers in Parkitect 100% comes from Settlers, the other building game series I love a lot besides RCT (you might also see some influences in our current project). And similar thoughts about RCT1-2 vs RCT3 lead to the decision to continue working on that prototype.

Ohh fascinating! That's such an interesting parallelism of thoughts and events. Being disappointed with that mobile game they went with is what caused me to tinker around with a tiny coaster prototype, similar to the one you currently have.

Hey, first of all thanks! And sorry for interjecting, but I got really curious by this popping up in our mentions and your profile haha

Do you mean BlueByte was interested in doing a RCT game with resource transportation?
