Waterpark Simulator News

[p]0.2.70 is here (yes, we know we wanted a different number too, but something else needed to be fixed)

Massive thanks to the group Language Pack Italia, who we will credit properly in-game in the next update for the Italian translation.[/p][p]
This version also has an updated version of the Unity engine since a critical security issue was detected by the Unity team on the last version, and we want to make sure you are always safe while playing our game.

There are quite a lot of fixes based on the reports that many of you provided, so let's dig into it
[/p][h3]BUG FIXES[/h3]

• [p]Credits are now scrollable all the way[/p]
• [p]If you had any boxes left around that could not be used (also known as the boxes from restockers being hit by cars), they will disappear and you will get their value back[/p]
• [p]Fixed some values not being shown properly in the daily report about income/expenses[/p]
• [p]Corrections for some painting issues with some pools[/p]
• [p]Fixed some painting issues with the stairs of the large slides.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where, if the player quit the game during the tutorial at a specific point, the task progress would not save[/p]
• [p]Solved a case where visitors would get stuck in the swimming animation if the pool was destroyed/ moved[/p]
• [p]Fixed some of the camera jerking when ragdolling[/p]
• [p]Corrected the VFX of poops in the pool[/p]
• [p]Fixed a situation where 2 cleaners would try to clean the same spot and get stuck.[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][h3]IMPROVEMENTS[/h3]

• [p]Lifeguards now have an animation when pushing people stuck on the diving boards[/p]
• [p]When rescuing drowning visitors, they now act like the player and use the liferings (sorry, no more dragging visitors around). This should also make them more efficient[/p]
• [p]Lifeguards can now also revive visitors[/p]
• [p]Improved some collisions in the small spiral slide[/p]
• [p]The death slide level has been set to 4 stars to avoid confusion[/p]
• [p]Smelly guests will always be happy when squirted with the water gun[/p]

• [p]Some improvements on sliding animations, sounds, and momentum physics.[/p]
• [p]Fixes on the arm sizes of the player avatar that affected some combos of height and genders.[/p]

[h3]

NEW FEATURES[/h3]

• [p]Added an initial version of Italian (we will add it to the credits in-game in the next update, but we already want to say thanks to the group Language Pack Italia for their awesome job there)[/p]
• [p]Dropping purchased items into the dumpster now, refunds you for their cost.

[p]Ok, no more tripping. We are testing some new stuff in terms of restockers using boxes on the floor, so if you have any of those pesky boxes lying around, just plop them in a corner, and we will make sure that by next week they end up where they were meant to.

[/p][h3]BUG FIXES[/h3]

• [p]Bird poops can now be cleaned (we promise this time we did it all ;p )[/p]
• [p]No more tripping in those boxes for anyone (next week we will introduce an update where restockers prioritise boxes and the floor, and you can sell any extra goods you purchased),[/p]

[p][/p][h3]IMPROVEMENTS[/h3]

• [p] Fountains' sound levels have been adjusted so as not to be so loud[/p]

[p]This is mainly an hotfix for some stuff we missed in the last update that you all reported in the last 24 hours. There is still one thing that needs fixing which is staff tripping on boxes left on he floor that we are testing internally still [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]BUG FIXES[/h3]

• [p]Tech tree now counts researches properly. No more 50/51 until we enable a new tech in there ;)[/p]

[p][/p][h3]IMPROVEMENTS[/h3]

[p]Is this the 0.3 update I hear you ask?

And the answer is no. Like we say in the roadmap, there will be more content updates in between the version changes. And this is one of them.

If you are for the patch notes only, scroll to the bottom, as we're gonna dive into some of the new content first

[/p][h2]
Female players & Staff[/h2][p]
You've been asking for this for a while, and we are more than happy to finally release the female models we've been working on for the past few weeks.
You can now change your look and gender near the tool shack by using the mirror and the dresser.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]You can also now hire female staff members[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Cars[/h2][p][/p][p]Better look twice before crossing the street. The city is now more lively with cars out there. But beware, not all drivers are the same. Some will stop for you and your visitors. Others...not so much.
And be on the lookout for a bug we had during development related to the wheel rotation that we thought was so funny that we decided to leave it as a 1% chance of spawning a car.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]New high slide and jumping board[/h2][p]Definitely not recommended for those with vertigo. Also, we cannot guarantee your visitors' survival after using the Skyfall dive or the death drop slide. They are worthy of their names[/p][p][/p][h2]Peeing in pools[/h2][p]Your guests can now finally pee in the pool, so stop asking for it ;p [/p][p][/p][p]As your pool changes color, you have 2 solutions:[/p][p] - Empty the pool to remove all the ...water[/p][p]- Unlock chlorine and make your visitors crystal clear once again [/p][p][/p][h2]Dumpsters[/h2][p]This was something we did not have in the plans, but thanks to your feedback, we have now added it to the game. As your park grows, you can unlock more dumpsters that you can build and have around to make your trash cleaning trips shorter. And yes you can paint them ;)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Patch notes - 0.2.53[/h2][p][/p][h3]BUG FIXES[/h3]

[p][/p][h3]IMPROVEMENTS[/h3]

[p]As you can probably see from the big difference in version numbers, since the last public update, we have been rather busy in the background with optimizing and testing.

• [p]Some extra fixes for the larger slides[/p]
• [p]A new system that allows visitors to teleport if they get stuck. This is actually ready and being tested, and it will be an option you can enable if you want (more details on the next update)
