OpenRCT2 - Open Source RollerCoaster Tycoon, teased with dynamic lighting!


I'm sure many of you remember the awesome game that is RollerCoaster Tycoon 2; a game by Chris Sawyer and published by Infograms in which you manage your very own theme park, with all its rides, shops, guests and economic fortune. Well that same game which got an open source version of ' OpenRCT2 ' last year, with many noticeable improvements. Has been shown off this month in a rather eye opening way. According to a heads up by ixigia, there is an experimentation going on with real-time lighting in night-time for OpenRCT2! Which basically means night time parks, lighting effects on pathways with lamps, and even rides and vehicles lit up too. I'm not sure when or if it will happen for all, but wow does it make RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 look good!
