Für die Early-Access-Version von RollerCoaster Tycoon World (ab 9,00€ bei kaufen) ist das fünfte Update veröffentlicht worden. Diesmal wollen die Entwickler größere Verbesserungen am Wegbausystem und an der Computerintelligenz der Besucher sowie der Park-Mitarbeiter (Food/Drinks/Souvenir Behavior, Nausea/Bathroom Behavior, Trash Can Use, Injuries/Sickness, Ride-seeking, Pathfinding) vorgenommen haben. Darüber hinaus wurde das Grafik-Feature "Screen Space Reflections" auf alle Objekte ausgeweitet, während die "Terrain Shaders" für deutlich schöneres Gelände sorgen sollen. Auch eine Depth-of-Field-Option wurde hinzugefügt. Leichte Performance-Optimierungen wurden ebenfalls vorgenommen.

NEW FEATURES AND CONTENT

• CONTENT: New Sci-Fi Centerpiece added to scenery Centerpieces. This new scenery item is a giant moon rock floating in space, with room to run your coasters through it!
• GRAPHICS: New Terrain Shaders to improve terrain quality! Check out the new terrain shaders in our Forest and other maps! Different textures blend better and the terrain looks smoother when zooming in and out.
• GRAPHICS: Screen Space Reflections Added to All Objects in Game! This vastly improves the look and feel of all the objects in the game. Everything has a reflection of its environment now and looks more realistic and tangible.
• GRAPHICS: Depth-of-Field Effect Added to Park Cam. We added a new Depth-of-Field Effect to the park cam. Now things further away will look blurrier than those close up, giving you a better sense of depth. It is Disabled by default BUT You can ENABLE this feature at any time by going into Options > Graphics > Disable Depth of Field. The choice is yours!

• GRAPHICS: All Sci-Fi Coaster Loading Stations have new textures

  • Food, Drinks, & Souvenirs
    • Peeps now have a higher chance to address their nausea, bathroom, hunger, or thirst when these stats are high.
    • Peeps should no longer buy drinks, hoping to soothe their hunger. We have informed them that food will be much more effective for this purpose.
    • Peeps will no longer randomize between the top five food / drink / souvenir stands, instead giving higher priority to those they like more. As a consequence, peeps should generally be happier when buying food, drinks, and souvenirs.
  • Injury
    • Injured peeps should once again engage in their proper behaviors of sitting on benches to be addressed by Medics, or (in rare cases) leaving the park.
  • Nausea and Bathroom
    • Peeps' minimum possible Nausea Tolerance is now 1 - no Peeps will have a 0 nausea tolerance.
    • Peeps' Nausea Tolerance will be increased if they like riding more intense rides.

    • Peeps with very high nausea will now prefer to sit on benches to reduce it, if a bathroom is far away. Some of them might try to hold it, though...
  • Rides
    • Fixed an issue that was preventing rides from increasing riders' Energy and decreasing riders' Boredom
    • Peeps should now more reliably ride low intensity rides. As a consequence, peeps should now distribute themselves among your park attractions more evenly.
  • Trash
    • Peeps should now properly throw their trash out in trashcans. Trashcans have a capacity- peeps will not throw trash into full trashcans. Peeps will throw trash on the path only if they're unable to find a nearby trashcan.

    • IMPROVEMENT: Improved peep on-coaster ride sound effects
    • ALPHA FEATURE: Added new ambient sounds to all the environments

• GRAPHICS: IN PROGRESS: We are doing an optimization and hi-res texture pass on almost everything in the game. For this update we focused on a few of our flatrides. They should now have smoother animations, better performance, and hi-res textures! It’s only a small subset of all the rides but the work is in progress and we hope to roll it out to everything in the game in coming updates.
• PATHS: ALPHA FEATURE: You can now recolor your paths after placing them! Simply click the new “Modify” button in the path system, select the paths you want to change, and choose a new texture. We are working on enabling this for path intersections next.
• PATHS: IN PROGRESS: Work on our path system is in progress but we already have improved a number of the systems behind laying and placing paths, removing some of the biggest frustrations players were facing.
• PEEPS: IN PROGRESS: We are testing out some new peep animations on our hypercoasters that are a bit more realistic and detailed. Let us know what you think!
