There is much less information on this project than the previous, partially since Theme Park Studio has released code and Parkitect has not just yet. This is another project that got its start on KickStarter, with Texel Raptor doing the development work. While I think this is brilliant, I also get the feeling like No Limits will destroy them, and if they convert to a game, several of the below better funded games are going to steal their lunch money and kick them in the shin. Having not played this particular game, I can say that to me it looks like No Limits, yet not as polished, making it strictly a simulator and not a game per the strictest definition of the word. They have done several code releases onto Steam and appear to be doing quite well.

After raising more than $100K in starter funds to build it, the company has been extremely busy working on this. Pantera Entertainment threw out this idea onto KickStarter to see if anyone was interested in a new theme park game. This is the project that kicked off the new renaissance of theme park games.

I figured it was a good time to update everyone as to where we stand on new games while those of us living outside CaliFlorida wait to get back on some actual theme park rides this summer. We are about to hit critical mass on new theme park and roller coaster games. No Limits 1 & 2 have shipped as superior simulations, though not really games, and other than those and maybe ThrillVille, the offerings have been less than stellar.

Ĭan you believe that it's been 11 years since RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 came out? Since that time, many gamer theme park fans have been left waiting.
