Viewing and rating other Parks!

[Palaber1984]

Hello Friends.

It has been month(or years?) that i start a post. and i got a really good idea and i hope the devs see future in it.
I would love just to fly over the map or zoom in and out just like you would play yourself. But without building. So how does it works?

first i am starting a map and create my park. And then upload it to a server or steam and close the game. So my game is saved in the cloud/steam and other people can visit it by searching in steam just like workshop objects. People can load the map but have no permission to build on it. they can zoom in and out and go through the buildings or through the map and can look how it was made. and then if they like it they can give a rating just like in workshop objects. and if you want you can follow the map. so why follow? if you are viewing the park maybe you see something interesting like a big place with signs/fences surrounding it and you are seriously interested in whats happening there. so you go offline and will come maybe in a few days to see if there is any change.
So the creator loads his savegame and keep going on to build and again he saves his game in the cloud or steam. After loading up the map all followers get a notification that there is something new to look for.

so why not just load the map like before? so in this mode there are more secrets to look for and the guests bring curiosity. this mode should keep the designers park unique. and maybe there is room for some rpg elements?i dont know. if you like my idea please give a comment.

thx

Isn't this what the workshop is for?

As long as the creator updates his blueprints, they are also updated in my game.
If you build yourself inside that game, you have to save it as your own park, so the saved blueprint from the workshop stays as is.

Rating is also done in the workshop, you can even do it from inside the game.

The workshop is a mess though.

Maybe I'm not on the same line as you are, so I might misunderstood some here, but to me it sounds like you want something that is already there (besides the locked part, but the creator can lock all items if he wants in the scenario editor), of course, please correct me if I'm wrong here.

Yes if you say it so, then it sounds like what I am said. But maybe we could deactivate the free cam and visit the Park only in guestmode. And if you drive some rides the creator gets extra points which he can use for something special.

I mean a system based on give something and get something.

I wish there was a guest mode where you could visit parks as a guest, I mean you can go into guest view anytime, but I wish there was some sort of passport feature like in rct3 where we collect stamps or tokens or something by finding certain locations and then we can see who has visited our parks, but currently everything is so vague and non-transparent, I remember the devs saying they were going to add more features for the VIPs but it never happened in rct3 we had a full guest editor and each guest had the ability to collect stuff including pictures of their experiences within our parks

it would also be amazing if we could see other players in the parks with us

Guest mode on planet coaster will be good idea.
