Just seen this via Screamscape. Here is a new rollercoaster game in the making and is asking for backers currently on Kickstarter. It is called Parkitect and is looking to be released by August/September 2015. Here is a link to the Kickstarter page:

Now this game graphically looks very simplistic/cartoony like the old Rollercoaster Tycoon games, and looks very similar to Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. It seems it will be pretty similar in nature to the RCT series in how it will play too. For $15 backing you can get a copy of the game when it comes out. Here are a few screens:
Shops & Rides
More Shops & Rides
Rollercoaster animation
Rollercoaster Station - getting on and off
Variable track size and banking angle controls. (Placeholder UI)
Track G-force visualization mode

Here is a trailer of it and a "interactive" trailer:

Personally for me this is to simplistic and doesn't push the boundary further than what RCT 2 did and that game is now 12 years old. If this was a game for mobiles then I may accept it but due to it being a full PC game I can't see much advancement. It seems at the minute we are inundated with Rollercoastergames software; Rollercoaster Tycoon World, Theme Park Studio, NoLimits 2, ScreamRide (Xbox) and now this. Personally I can see this game coming under RCTW, TPS and NL2 with it only being better than ScreamRide. I think this game should be what RCTW will become next year.
I wish the game all the best but for me this isn't to much of an advancement/improvement on what RCT 2 was so I will not be backing it. Maybe I will change my mind about it once it gets further into development but at the minute, no. Although I wish all the best to the three blokes that are advancing with it.
What are your thoughts?
