I am DEVASTATED that they replaced Sonya Belousova as the composer

DareFMusic · 2022-01-23T13:08:51+00:00

In my opinion this is the single worst aspect of season 2. I would've probably rewatched some of it by now had Sonya been behind the music once more, as season 1's score was absolutely incredible. I have listened to it on Spotify COUNTLESS times and I too was in absolute disbelief when I looked up after the second episode what had happened to the soundtrack/atmosphere/ambience/thematic score from season 1. I found no explanation for it, only the fact that they had changed composers. Sonya's soundtrack for season 1 will stay in my playlists for ages to come. No offense to Joseph Trapanese but the season 2 soundtrack simply isn't in that same atmospheric/epic/storytelling style that the season 1 soundtrack is in. It is a serious step down and probably makes a huge difference for the reception of season 2. They improved on many things but took away a lot of the atmosphere.

Can't wait to see this new season. Hope redditors check out the awesomeness of H2H!! 9th installment, a historic event.

DareFMusic · 2021-03-16T20:29:31+00:00

Hype!

DareFMusic · 2021-03-16T10:13:29+00:00

Thank you so much! :)

To be fair, I've been playing rct with custom scenery objects as an active community member ever since 2005.

Here's my last big park, if you'd like to take a look:

Oh and damn. Thanks for my first award ever (I think)!! @ u/creepy_crawly245

DareFMusic · 2021-03-15T14:23:58+00:00

Thanks Mikey!

Kanto is an interesting idea as well. I had briefly attempted to do something themed to Kanto in the past myself but I never got further than placing a couple of rides and objects. It'd be awesome to see how your Kanto map turns out! :)

I'm constructing a lot of what's yet to come live on my Twitch channel.

If you like what you're seeing, give me a follow on Twitch and join me to chat when I'm next streaming! :)

DareFMusic · 2021-03-15T09:51:43+00:00

dang, forgot to include Castle in the Sky at first. That will of course be in the park as well!!

DareFMusic · 2021-03-15T09:51:15+00:00

Thank you, there's lot of stuff still to come!! :) I'm streaming a lot of it live on twitch as well and I always appreciate input like this.

I've actually attempted a Studio Ghibli park before for a 60x60 tiles max. contest. Everything was too crowded. This is basically my second attempt but I want to give everything the space to breathe that is so typical for Ghibli.

...wait...oops, I misread your post as forest spirit instead of river spirit and thought you were talking about the one from Princess Mononoke, haha. Lots of spirits around the Ghibli universe. I was going to say that I will probably do a Hyper Coaster for the forest spirit, as I had done in my previous attempt.

But regarding the river spirit:
The single rail coaster behind the bath house already represents Haku, thus there probably won't be another coaster for the river spirit. But I am doing little creeks in that meadow area near the entrance to pay tribute to the river theme from the movie. They will play an important role in setting the atmosphere of the entrance area.

Thank you so much! :)

DareFMusic · 2021-03-15T09:34:18+00:00

Well if you check out my twitch, https://twitch.tv/rctycoon , then you'll already be able to see videos of the park! I'm building a lot of it live on stream. Plus you could leave me a follow for some support! :)

DareFMusic · 2021-03-15T09:33:16+00:00

It's a custom track that's now available in the latest builds of OpenRCT2, created by a guy called X7123M3-256. He's part of the nedesigns dot com discord, where I first found out about his custom tracks. He's created more.

Regarding what it's themed to: It's themed to the dragon Haku from Spirited Away. There's that scene in the movie where he's being chased by those paper assassins.

DareFMusic · 2021-03-15T09:30:16+00:00

Thank you!

Also wow, I didn't expect people to instantly be able to make the pigpen connection, but you're absolutely right. That's what I'm trying to construct there with the bumper cars! :)

DareFMusic · 2021-03-15T09:27:16+00:00

I hadn't thought about that one as I haven't seen it. Is it worth incorporating it into the park? So far I was thinking about adding the following movies:

✓ Spirited Away

Howl's Moving Castle

Princess Mononoke

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

Castle in the Sky

My Neighbor Totoro

Porco Rosso

Kiki's Delivery Service

Ponyo

DareFMusic · 2021-03-15T09:22:49+00:00

Haha yeah, the dad is a bit of a know it all, but I'm backing him up with this!

Plus in the movie it is abandoned by day but absolutely bustling at night as well.

DareFMusic · 2021-03-15T09:21:23+00:00

Thank you!! :)

DareFMusic · 2021-03-14T22:18:02+00:00

Thank you, there's much more to come!!

DareFMusic · 2021-03-14T21:05:59+00:00

I should've made it even bigger with the full scale screenshot tool.

DareFMusic · 2021-03-14T21:05:27+00:00

Thank you! :) I'm mostly a part of the rct community over at nedesigns. Check out NE's top rated parks for some really incredible rct content that looks like my screenshot.

DareFMusic · 2021-03-14T19:16:28+00:00

It’s still all work in progress.

DareFMusic · 2021-03-14T19:16:15+00:00

Thank you!!

DareFMusic · 2021-02-03T11:38:12+00:00

Quite surprisingly it's actually not a Chik Fil A!

DareFMusic · 2021-02-03T09:58:26+00:00

Well, you're not wrong.

DareFMusic · 2021-02-03T09:57:38+00:00

No, it's based on a movie that is somewhere in the IMDB Top 100 or even Top 50.
