Lights on!

Did you ever feel like your park looks a bit… boring when it rains? After this update that will no longer be the case, because all the lights actually work now.

And if you like it really dark you can turn on the new night mode whenever you want!

The Asset Editor has been updated so mods can use lights as well.

To fully capture the atmosphere of a theme park in the dark we’re updating all flat rides with hundreds of tiny lights.

Moreover, most of these lights also receive unique animation sequences. I have built us a tool for placing and animating the lights, and Garret has been busy working with it. So far we’re at over 6.000 animated lights, but there are still a bunch of rides left to update!

If you want to learn more about how we’re creating light animation sequences you should check out this weeks Art Stream where Garret will show how it works.

Until then here’s a quick video showcasing the new lights in action:

And some higher quality screenshots will follow shortly in the next post again :)
