[OpenRCT2] Submit your title sequence park!

Hello,

For those of you who are unfamiliar with OpenRCT2, it is a open source project to rewrite Rollercoaster Tycoon II in C so that it can be compiled natively to any platform and be improved with new features and removed limits.

More information can be found on GitHub and in the blog post below.

The game is now roughly 50% written in C and we hope to reach 100% by this time next year. Recently we have been trying to get OpenRCT2 into a state which is playable so that early adopters can enjoy playing RCT2 with minimal bugs, and are hoping to release our first stable version soon. While this will still require the original game binary to play, there are already a bunch of enhancements introduced into the game.

To celebrate this, we thought the first version could be released with a great new title sequence showing parks from the community, so if you have an idea for a park you would like to share, please send us your submission. We are hoping to update the title sequence at least every major release with the best submitted parks which are shown in a similar way to RCT1.

All you need to do is create a park containing several areas that can be shown in the title sequence. Please do not use any custom content or content found in either of the expansion packs. We are only accepting parks which can be played in a vanilla version of RCT2. You may use an existing park if suitable. When you are happy with the state of your park follow the instructions below.

1. Pause the game and save it.
2. Rotate and scroll to an area of the map you would like to show.
3. Take a screenshot.
4. Note the number of seconds you would like to show this area for.
5. Repeat from step 2 until you have acquired the number of areas you would like to show for that park.
6. Archive / zip the saved park, screenshots and times and e-mail it to me. ([email protected])

If there are lots of submissions causing the title sequence to be too large or long, a good variety of submissions will be used. There is no deadline yet, but I will try to let you know when we have one, hopefully by the end of the month. You may submit as many parks as you like.

When planning your submissions, keep in mind that the areas in the title sequence do not need to be cram packed full of stuff. RCT1 switched between busy areas and parks to very quiet parks like from a food court to just a steam train going round a mine. It would be nice if the new title sequence had a variety of these things and maybe even slightly themed to the season.

I look forward to your title sequence park submissions and will keep you up to date with news. If you have any questions, e-mail me or comment below.
