The modder can then maximize, add the file from the local directory (or Steam Workshop), and instantly drop the mod into the game. Once completed, the Unity-based editor allows attribute assignment and configuration for in-game use. It’s easy to modify an existing object (for newcomers), but experienced users can employ 3D GFX software to build completely new models for the game. Modders can minimize the game and begin their work without task kills. Things are slightly more advanced for RCTW. Players plug-in to the Steam Workshop to upload creations, which include custom models and retextured objects, while quickly integrating with the game’s native interface. The easiest comparison – though not direct – is the recent Cities: Skylines launch. RCTW’s big, no-film-allowed portion of the demo showcased the modding solution. Rather than using the claw of fate to drop ill-fated janitorial staff into the game, players should anticipate placement of janitorial or engineering buildings that manage staff to budget. Adjustment of staff salaries will be relocated into something more akin to a budget for specific staffing buildings in-park. We’re told that campaign mode – the one of most interest for many veterans, I’d imagine – is slated to remove a few of the more tedious park management mechanics. The demo today was focused on sandbox mode, which imposes no restrictions on player creativity. Coasters can be individually tuned, point-by-point, to craft rides of varying safety and excitement levels. Flat rides are pick-and-place, but can be rotated and elevated to meet the demands of the genius (or mad) park architect behind the keyboard. We’re told that “over thirty” flat rides are launch-ready, with ten coasters planned. There’s a new interface and placement options for roads of various textures, prefab models, flat rides, coasters, and shops. This secures our faith that Atari and Nvizzio understand the most important aspect of resurrecting a long-standing icon. RCTW does not change the core gameplay mechanics or objective from its decade-old brethren. Until a point at which we can refine our skills, keep in mind that all discussion here is based on limited gameplay experience. RCT is a series that demands hours of time to build a park that doesn’t resemble a failed architect’s worst efforts or fling visitors from the heights of a roller coaster. There’s no uncertainty that press demos are notoriously limited in every imaginable fashion – but the most critical is time.
