Parkitect alpha 4 released with significant performance improvements and new rides

Parkitect is such a cute park building sim that I have seriously high hopes for, it's in Early Access, but don't let that put you off.

The developers have continued their regular updates for a while now and this latest alpha sounds pretty awesome.

What I am looking forward to most of all is the single-player campaign they have planned for it.

It heavily reminds me of Theme Park and that's fantastic to have something modern like this on Linux.

There's lots of things to already love about this game, from being able to see people on the rides from start to finish, to nifty things like paths turning automatically into steps when placed on a hill.

I haven't quite got the hang of the building section for the longer customizable rides, as it's not the most intuitive interface for it. I am sure they will work on that as time goes on, as I actually found it a little confusing.

The attention to detail so early on is quite amazing.
