Hi everyone!

The alpha has been in full swing and we've seen some incredible creations, stunning parks and content that has truly taken our breath away. We've also received so much fantastic feedback from the community. We are truly grateful for the incredible support and positivity that we've received. Thank you all so much.

As many of you will know we will be releasing our next alpha build in the week ending 29th May. The development team have been working incredibly hard and we're super excited to be moving into our next phase of alpha. We're looking forward to even more crucial feedback and suggestions from the new features that will be coming.

Now I just got all hyped up again [woah] This is great news indeed and can't wait to see what you going have planned.
 
You guys literally school these large development companies on how to interact with the fan base and keeping us informed. HYPE train rolls on! 😎
 
Wohoo! Here are some questions:

Will there be more coasters/ rides/ stalls after Phase 2?

Will we be able to let people pay at a ticket booth at the END of a queue? (At the END, because of that nice caching sound whenever one pays. May sound a bit weird, but it feels so good when many people enter a ride/ coaster.

What about stalls from previous rct's? I wann have my stalls, within a burger, drink or a fries box back [squeeeeee]

There you are. I told you all to have patience. I hope that everyone is now satisfied that the Dev Team are back on track again with some live streams and Q&A sessions. I am hoping that one person in particular will be satisfied. [rolleyes]

Thank you Zac for informing us of this great news. [yesnod] [up]

Awesome, thanks! Should be great to get the hype up for the Alpha 2 release. Now, if you could poke the dev team and get them to post on the forums every once in a while I don't think I'd be able to find anything at all to complain about... :)
 
This is fantastic news - thanks for doing this!

Only downside is my working week is compressed into three days - Tues to Thurs -I leave for work at 5am and I dont get home until around 10pm [sad] I will miss the live streams but it gives me something to look forward to Friday morning to catch up on everything! [big grin]
 
Now.. I got lost in a haze of excitement that roughly translated to..

Alpha 2..... New rides.... terrain..... new scenery... new coasters... improved paths and guest interactions...

Basically... this cannot come soon enough. Is it possible to sleep for 24 days?
