RCT3: Blackheart's Cove Trailer

Welcome to Blackheart's Cove! This is a demo trailer for my digital thrill park made inside the game Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. What started as a simple scenario inside the "Soaked" expansion, Blackhearts Cove has become a lifelong hobby, as I have spent over a decade returning to the park in order to build, refine and create.

What is being presented is a series of videos in an attempt to produce a landscape and destination inside a simulated medium. The actual "game" aspect of RCT3 was left behind long ago, as I see it now more as a digital erector set or modeling program.

What will be showcased inside these videos is a mix of both vanilla and custom assets, all the tricks I have learned about hiding scenery, invisible pathing, custom coverings, short circuiting the recording system and other creative solutions I've found about building within the limitations of the engine.

This park has migrated across 5 different machines/operating systems, surviving hard drive failures, data migrations, custom asset crashes and back end coding manipulation.

This is only a small taste of things to come, but I welcome you all to the story of Blackheart's Cove!

All credits given at the end of the video. Thanks for watching!
