Waterpark Simulator News

[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]Some dirt and seagull poops that would not register as dirty can now be cleaned.[/p]
• [p]Visitors no longer going naked in some very specific cases/angles. [/p]

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

• [p] Staff no longer can be hit by cars (yes your restockers are once again safe).[/p]
• [p]Improvements in clothes randomisation (which also solves the stuck with glasses issue)[/p]
• [p]Improved flow of restocking in relation to an animation being canceled[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[h3]
[/h3][hr][/hr][p]We are already working on not only fixing some issues mentioned by you all, but also adding new features. So stay tuned.[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for all the support, and remember, if you have an idea, feedback, or bug you want to share, feel free to use our Steam community hub or Discord.

NOTICE - We sometimes might release very small updates to solve 1 or 2 more urgent issues that appeared and not release a patch note for those immediately but add them to bigger update patch notes on following updates[/p]

[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]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)

[p]Just a quick one to address the issue with the Twitch integration

Basically, we were down for a few days due to Twitch being Twitch

It should be back and working again.

Just want to give a massive shout-out to Matthew from Crowd Control for pointing us towards a different way of doing this system that allowed us to solve it

If you are a fan of the Crowd control system, they even have a pack for our game already - https://crowdcontrol.live/game/waterpark-simulator/?pack=WaterparkSimulator


Happy joining those streams
