Devlog

We added Skyfall, a drop tower ride where guests are turned into a horizontal position during the drop:

And there’s the Junior Coaster from this weeks Art Stream:

And Gabby made progress with the visual overhaul of the UI. Updating it all is a ton of work that’ll be ongoing for a while. Releasing it all at once when it’s finished would be difficult, so we’ll ship what we currently have and continue improving it over the next few Alphas until it’s done (like we’ve always done it with all parts of the game :)).
Here’s the current state:
