Some members of the RCT community are getting together to make a new, 3D, theme park game, without the lag of RCT3, and they plan to offer it for FREE!
They are calling it: "Theme Park Builder 3D" and they have a site up at http://www.tpb3d.com/
Some of the members on this project include Doctor J, who made the original RCT2 object editor, Jonwil, the creator of the RCT3 custom scenery editor, Sebar, who has made a slew of custom rides and scenery, and others!
They anticipate the work for this ambitious project will make the release date sometime in 2008, though thats a rough estimate.
The features of this game will include, but are not limited to:
- program language of C or C++ (so if you know this language, contact one of the people involved to offer your support!)
- "Building Generator" (not sure of the details yet)
- full 3D model scenery importation
- "Flat Ride Construction Set" with a "Sequencer" for flat rides like the Huss Jump that require special "start up" and "wind down" routines.
- Darkness by default within structures for true dark rides
- "Coaster Construction Set" (CCS) - includes creating your own coaster cars/trains, tracks, supports, and all can be saved and reused!
- Alignment Manager to numerically help align strutures, 3D objects, Rides, etc.
- Path Manager - make curved paths which peeps will actually follow. Also, repaint, widen or narrow your paths all with the click of a mouse, and import your own custom paths!
- Fireworks
- Stage Band
- Stage Show
- Water FX Mix Masters
...and that's just the start!
More info about this project is available at the RCT Space forums topic here.
