I'm looking at this description with the same skeptism that I had when I read about Theme Park 2001 or whatever it's being called now. It's not that hard to write up a description about a game that doesn't exist. I know, because I've been secretly working on a fully 3D RCT that has the No Limits coaster engine built in to render the coasters and let you ride them, and it all works on 166 with 32 mb of ram! Until we see some screenshots (or better yet a demo) I'm gonna remain very skeptical. Seeing is beleiving. Show us, and we'll beleive. Until then you're just hyping vaporware.

Will this RCT that you claim to be makin be for download or to buy at any old store in the US. It sounds really cool cause ive always wanted to do that with RCT id like to know what your gonna do with that idea.

Question OK OK

ok here are a couple screenshots. these rides where made in minutes so when you look and say eeew that doesn't have much detail don't worry. i just wanted a couple to show you guys that i am working on the game.

http://talestall.boltpages.com/siteb...es/screen1.gif

This one is of a DropZone type ride.. it isn't textured and the seats are VERY basic.. remember i took 5 minutes for this.

http://talestall.boltpages.com/siteb...es/screen2.gif

This one shows the (what i like to call) real shadow effect.. i think this part is essential for this kind of game.. it gives it a better look.. (And the reason why the shadow ends is because a wall is there.. actually its something else but i dont wanna explain it )
<p>
Are you guys happy now? i am tryin to get this ride design part of the game done before we take a crack at the demo.. The head programmer (NOT me) took a little break (well deserved) so he left the ride designer to me... (not a big deal).

Well, things are starting to look a little more promising I guess. If it is real, keep up the good work, and sorry if we got a little rough, we don't like it when people make up lies and get our hopes up.

I can't wait to see the game. It looks like something we will all enjoy. I'm glad that theme park/coaster games continue to have a high popularity level.

The graphics are decent for being put together in 5 minutes. Butt the speling has got too goe. If you are a tru progamer, then you wood concentrate on your spelling in these posts. Personally, I think dorkula is taking us all for a ride. I don't see any coaster game coming out like this in the near future.

Maybe I'm wrong. Keep up the good work and spelling dorkula.

grr

So you people are saying I need to watch every word I spell when I post on a community forum just because I am a programmer? Can't a guy get a rest around here?

And about this doubt that you guys have about if this game is real or not. The answer is yes! The game is real. I have no apparent reasons why I should lie about a future game.

Also... Yes the game will not include any mis-spelled words in it. Remeber I am not the only programmer working on it.

iMac and others

Well after the first release we might start work on a conversion (rewrite) of our engine to the mac. right now it is a Win32 engine.

whenever a new release comes out it will have a demo and will be sold online. I will post here when it is ready.

Other programmers... It was my job to discus in the forums for certain reasons I don't thiink you guys wanna hear. But if you guys want i can try to talk the others into singning up..

mac

Remeber the Mac version depends on how well the Win version does. It is a lot of work to rewrite a 3d engine for a diffrent OS but if it did happen it should be the same or better.

Rides

I am not going to list all the rides but I will give you a list of some of the rides included in the game..

Suspended coaster
corckscrew coaster
teapots
The Spider
Drop Zone (not the name but you get the idea)
View Tower
Darts
Marry-Go-round
and plenty more but I don't have the time to list them.. Remember that there will be plenty of coasters in the same category.

Post Support forum.

Well since steve was te one who created the installer you may want to talk to him about it at the blueball forum (check the bb site http://talestall.50megs.com). I will see if I can make a alternate download for this.

wasn't November to have been the release date??

anyhow, I went to download the new demo and got "page not found". The graphics look better quality but still RCT meets Quake.

Let us know when the FINAL version is made, then I might look again. One other thing, enlarge those thumbnails, those small pics put strain on my eyes.
