RollerCoaster Tycoon 3

[Burniel]

I preferred it when we had descriptions tbh. The point system is ok, but it really helped me when I was told what I needed (I was told scenery, so put a lot of effort in the scenery and now have a much better mark)

If anybody would like to request that I do a written review for their coaster, please say and I shall do them tonight

[scw55]

I would like a written review.

Because numbers generates more questions than gives information. Like, why is their number bigger than mine?
Numbers aren't specific and feel cold.

[Fish777]

I agree with scw55 and ilc, written reviews were much better. Could I get one please?

[Burniel]

I'll take a written review!

[Danny]

Entry - Symbiotic
Type - Splitting Coaster
Story - Space exploration and colonisation isn't as romantic as it was conveyed in Twentieth Century Science Fiction Media. Worlds are light years apart. The Earth's resources were poured into achieving Lightspeed Travel and Cryogenic Freezing & Resurrection. There was very little left to develop "comforts" such as fresh water.

The human race has discovered a new world to call, home. A dusty ball of brown floating aimlessly in the void. Stark of life, or so we thought. The first colonists were dying, there was no water to be found on this wasteland, it seemed that the mission was doomed to fail, after many decades of drifting through space to arrive.

But fortunately, the humans discovered and unexpected saviour. Beneath the sands lived a creature. Every few decades it rises from the deep to seek a mate. Unfortunately, it found the humans first. The humans, desperate for survival attacked and trapped the creature. Using the shell of their old ship, they shackled the creature to the floor. They siphoned the creature's blood in optimism that it was edible. Would this creature be their salvation?

Yes. It is.

The humans harvest the creature's fluid. From the liquid, they hope to build a new home from a sort of "Symbiotic" relationship with the creature.
The humans survive, and the creature isn't slain by the humans. Everyone's "happy".

Additional Comments:
Yes, the pinned creature by metal is definitely inspired by a certain story.

The "Meteor" flat ride represents a Dynamo that generates electricity to run the horrific machine.
There are buildings to store the "water" siphoned from the creature.

Very well done scw55, your entry has been submitted!

I seem to only have one entry so far. Seeing as the deadline is tomorrow at 8 I'm not sure I will receive many more. However, I am on a school trip tomorrow until 11pm. So the deadline has been extended until Thursday at 6pm. I hope this encourages more entries and gets them in on time.
Thanks

[Burniel]

I finished mine, just couldn't be bothered to upload my POV. Expect my entry later tonight

Yeah, supporting the Splitcoaster is very obnoxious.
So I had to have 25% being default in-game supports.

[Danny]

Thanks ILC. Your entry has been submitted
1 more day to go, get  those entries in!!

In-game supports are OK for splitting coasters

[scw55]

The problem with in-game supports overall is that if you place any Default pieces on a tile under a support, the support will be moved/removed.

That is fundamentally why I always prefer using custom supports.

This weeks challenge is now closed. Results shall be posted soon
