Hey,
we've got a free content update for Parkitect today!

Late last year tristar from the Parkitect community suggested that we should hire him to update a bunch of old items to be recolorable, which we gladly did!
Over time the project grew a bit larger and now we've got a pretty nice update that also includes a good amount of new deco objects, two new entertainer costumes, and some wall and roof shapes to complete existing building sets.

Additionally:

• a number of objects have been updated to be resizable
• some objects have been updated to fit together more nicely
• the water color on water rides can be changed now
• running ad campaigns appear in the ongoing events list so you don't have to constantly check the ad campaign window
• the attraction overview list can be sorted by average queue time

Have fun :)

I always find statistics posts about projects interesting…
We’ve been working on this for almost 7 years now, so here’s a bunch of numbers about Parkitect!

Project

Engine: Unity
Programming language: C#

Asset folder (the actual “content” of the game):
Size: 3.93 GB
Files: 35,944
Folders: 1,322

Total project folder (this includes Unity cache files etc):
Size: 21.6 GB
Files: 364,258
Folders: 2,837

Build duration (all supported platforms together): ~20 minutes (incremental build; a clean build would take 1-2 hours)

Repository

Type: Git
Size: 3.5 GB
Branches: 90
Commits: 13,778 (a “commit” is a change to the game, like for example the addition of a new feature or a bug fix. It can be anything from a single number being changed in the code to the addition of hundreds of new sound files in one go)

Here’s a visualization of all the file changes made during development.
Every dot represents a file in the project. A file getting zapped represents a change to that file. Every branch represents a folder in the project (with the folder name being shown as text).
The legend on the left side explains what the colors mean, and how many files of a certain type there are in the project.
The most important file types are:

cs: C# source code file
prefab/asset: Unity data files
fbx: 3D model
wav/ogg: Audio files

We moved the repository in 2017 which messes up the visualization a bit.

File changes by release:
Campaign: 46,732
Multiplayer: 7,230
Taste of Adventure: 6,404
Booms & Blooms: 5,117

Updates released on Steam: 533 (in addition to the regular monthly updates we like to patch immediately if there’s anything that might be inconvenient for players. There’s also many non-public updates though for testers)

Hey everyone, it’s the 2nd anniversary of Parkitect’s 1.0 release this week and we’ve prepared something for you to celebrate:

On December 8 we’ll release a new free update that adds a cooperative online multiplayer mode!

Up to 8 people can play together, building the same park. You can see what other people are doing - it’s a bit like everyone is playing together on the same PC.

Creating a new game or joining one is done through a lobby. You can also directly invite your Steam friends to join. It’s pretty easy!

Have a good one!
