"Going Back To Alpha"

Hey all!

So here's a weird and crazy topic to consider!! I was just watching the community creations video and thinking what an amazing "World Editor" PC is in it's alpha stage. It's just mind blowing the things that have been created, and I love how real and slick the parks look.

Soon enough we are going to see management introduced - which also introduces litter, puke(?), rides breaking down and other catastrophes maybe!

So my question is do you think you'll ever see a time when you'll say I wish I could go back to the alpha again?!

Not because the final game won't be AH-MAZING. But more so if you just fancy a sandbox mode, of creating an aesthetically pleasing theme park without caring too much about the logistics. As the game stands right now - it's a really fun AUTOCAD style world builder. It would be great to save it as it is in it's entity. We will LOVE the game as it grows, but there might just be times when you think "I really wish my peeps would stop complaining I don't have enough toilets and just let me build".

Now you could say, Just PAUSE THE GAME but then we don't get all our fancy videos of our beautiful peeps walking around!!

This is not a hate thread for the game (I know how touchy some people can be!) just a bit of devil's advocate!! Thoughts??

EDIT: Obviously, once I get the terrain editor I will NEVER look back!! Haha! Goodbye days of building stone tunnels!!

Maybe a building only mode could be a feature added to sandbox?
Its an option i would also like to see.


I'd thought the same Tony but I didn't want to "suggest it" as I know the devs have a zillion and one things they want to prepare and it's not necessary as such - une=less enough people would benefit from it! It wasn't something I'd thought about until now - but that's maybe good retrospect! It might not be noticed till it's gone! Lol!
 
This is why the "sandbox mode" is made. [yesnod]

Personally, I know I'll spend 99% of my time on this mode.
 
Absolutely but Sandbox will still emulate the features of campaign when Phase 3 kicks in right. Vomitting, complaining, that sort of thing? That's what I mean. Right now we have the most vanilla sandbox which is amazing for creation!

Huh ? [blah]

Nope ...

Sandbox is ... Sandbox ! [big grin]
That mean you have full powers. You can do what you want.
You want everyone happy, never vomiting or complaining ? You just write the good command in the console or you click the good checkbox (depending on how they make the sandbox mode) and that's all.


For now, with the alpha 1, we just have a small % of the sandbox ! [happy][up]

Ah! OK cool! Memory MIGHT be failing me but I thought creating a Sandbox park in other Sim games, like RCT3, you had unlimited money, access to all the items you wanted, but you were still facing the simulation issues of sickness and complaining. It might have had a console I didn't know about but I think I usually just cheated my way around that? Hah!

That certainly sounds good for sure!!
 
I was also under the impression sandbox would be free building but rides would still breakdown, guest would drop litter etc.

No no, your memory is good, but "sandbox" also mean "cheatcodes" (or "settings", like I said : depend on how they make the sandbox mode) [yesnod]

That's what I thought and the basis of the OP. Angelis might just have rendered my post useless. Haha!!

On the contrary ! It's very interesting !!!

Because, for exemple, the process in RCT3, to activate "GuestsIgnoreRideNausea 1", was a little bit boring.

I hope they can fix that with :
- The full access to the command console
- A "Sandbox settings" windows for exemple

Ahh OK I'm with you!! :)

I definitely like your ideas for sure!! I would really like to see something like this implemented. I love the sandbox!!
