In the image above, it has nothing to do with the type of attraction because it was really popular in another scenario. So an improvement could have been to tell why no-one wants to ride the attraction. In this image, the temperature is below freezing, but the game looks and acts exactly the same as when the temperature is 20+ degrees: If you have a weather system, make sure it affects the game. So I think they should have utilized the weather system to make the scenarios more different from each other. Neither is the water turning into ice (I tried by dropping a guest into the water so yes you can kill guests) and it's raining even though it should snow. Some indoor attractions are more popular when it's raining, but because it's raining for just a day you are never noticing the difference. But I haven't noticed that the temperature affects the customers because they happily ride in the fastest, highest roller coaster even though the temperature is around freezing temperature. So why isn't the game challenging? The game has a weather system - sometimes it will rain for maybe a day - and the temperature changes. So you shouldn't play it to get a challenge - you should play it because the game is relaxing. After a while you have learned what you need to build to make them happy and then you build the same thing over and over again.

They want different type of attractions, they want food, they need toilets, they want the park to be free from garbage, and they want the park to look nice. You are basically doing the same on each map: you are trying to make the park-guests happy. Each scenario has different goals, but it still feels like the goals are the same after you have figured out what to build to attract new customers. For example, your job is to build a theme park on a deserted airfield and you win if you get 500 customers or whatever the goal is. Parkitect has a campaign where you play scenarios provided by the game developers. You can fill the entire map in Parkitect and the game is still running fine. I saw a video of someone playing Planet Coaster, which has a more detailed art style, and that person had to stop playing the game because the computer couldn't handle all details even though the map wasn't fully built. The retro art style is also making the game run faster on my laptop, which is not the worst laptop but still far from the best. But using a grid is not necessarily a bad idea because the game still looks good because they are not aiming for a realistic art style - more of a retro art style. It's running on a grid, like in the old days, so the entire map is divided into square cells, so you can't build curvy roads like you can in the game Planet Coaster, which is another recently released theme park management game. Parkitect is made with Unity game engine, which is the same game engine I'm using. The players have rated it mostly positively on Steam.
#PARKITECT FIRST PERSON SERIES#
Parkitect is one of the latest in the series and was released in 2018 after some years of development and a successful Kickstarter campaign. Perhaps the most common management games throughout the ages are city builders like SimCity and theme park games. First out in the play-test series is Parkitect which is a game where you manage your own theme park. I'm currently working on a management game so I thought it was a good idea to play-test some other management games and try to figure out what I would have done differently.
