This is getting interesting folks. This is definitely one of my favorite projects on the site right now.

Thanks! It's awesome to know people are so excited about this project, since it's my largest and my first major one on the site. I promise though, the next one won't take 8-9 months!

9 months later the next one is half way done xD

A storm is coming - and you better be prepared! Although some of you were probably expecting a release this weekend (sorry ), you'll be glad to know things are picking up speed here!

I'd like to start off by announcing the addition of Blase Rhine to the project! Since I'm not too good (or quick) at 3d designing and will be getting busy in the next few months with our musical season kicking off, he'll be helping out hugely with designing the scenery around the coaster and making it so much better than it already is! You can see a little bit of what's been completed already in the pics below!

You're probably still a little confused about all the storm things - but just to keep things live(wire)ly and fun, see if you guys can guess what it's about. So far, none of your guesses have been right

Poster shots!

Never going to get over the insane level of NL2 detail:

Call me biased, but this is one of my favorite views of all the NL2 coasters I've seen!

Try orchestra nerd & stage crew techie

I do mics for the musicals and I play the Cello. I feel you bruh.

You play cello too? That's awesome!

[Paradox]

Yup! Just learned Bach's Cello Suite 1 Prelude and Courante.

That's awesome! I've only learned about half of the prelude, being in our Symphonic Orchestra I've never gotten around to learning the whole thing because our concert pieces are really challenging and eat up all of my time!

[Paradox]

I honestly love you right now.

^ Don't tell Turbo!

[Blase Rhine]

Super happy to be working with you on this project!

*The plot thickens...

[JAMMY]

Looking good, layout looks incredible, and you're so right, the level of detail in NL2 is top notch. Can't wait to see what Blase Rhine brings to the table too.

haha.

Storm season hasn't quite picked up yet, aside from a few rouge storm systems passing through the area. However, things look like they'll be picking up here shortly; the calm before the storm never lasts long. Stay tuned for more details...

In the meantime, feel free to droll over these insane HD poster shots

awesome job man now time to start live wire 2.0

Looks great, you got me excited!
Didn't think the coaster was going to get this level of detail when you first showed it off!

This looks fantastic! Awesome job with the details and nice HD shots

EDIT: How did you make the dome, by the way?

Very carefully lol.

Actually it was a untextured warehouse model with just the lines. I went in and modified it all adding in the triangle "windows" and then colored them to look the part. I then took the model and scaled it to be much larger so it would fit the building.



Here are a few pictures regarding my part with the project. I can't show to much just yet







That is all for now! Make sure to keep following for more information regarding this project!

is there a set release date yet?

Thanks guys! I honestly didn't expect this to go far either when I started, but it's awesome to know people are still following this! You know, almost 10 months later

This new scenery is looking amazing and you have make a great improvement on the environment. Can't wait to see this complete!

Are you ready to brave the storm...?

*watch in 1080p!*

Really cool teaser! I loved the public warning sounds, nice touch. I also noticed you used Hexagon Force but slowed down and with a lower pitch! (I used that song a while back as onride music on one of my RCT3 coasters!)
