Most likely, the next demo will be shortly before the release of the full version.

As you might have seen on pg3 of this topic currently work is going into the 'fairground designer' portion of the program & working out peep behaviour within fairgrounds etc.

djt, remember this game is still in progress so those things still happen now, But they also could just leave this, a collision detection for all peeps would kinda lower the fps alot too... Just have patience.

Just looking at those screen shots, you got way to many controls on the ride control panels. I've seen a few control panels up close and they don't even have half of whats on there.

Ok, I dont even know where to start with this one.

1. So your user title says that you're a Raptor Crew member in 2005, but can you say that you have seen the panels of all these rides?

2. Many of the development team have actually operated the rides featured, and even travelled with them [pshades].

3. For further proof, takes a look at photos of the ride panels here:

Trust me, lots of time has gone inot researching the project![:)]

Simple answer: "When it's ready!"

Answer that you will like more: "Most likely by the end of the year"

The development is (seeming to be) passing slowly at the moment, purely because what is being done cannot be shown through screenshots [:)].

hey dragons, do you have a full ridelist because when i'm just checking out on the forums i'd see people showing maps of their fairgrounds with rides like the flying circus [:D] Also i've seen a topic somebody telling about another new ride to the 'ride list'? A mondial capriolo.
Can you confirm the whole list so far that is in the game?
name of ride and model type if possible please [;)]

I was on Raptor for lets say 80 % of my time working there. So I worked other rides. Looking at those pictures I'd say its safe to say that traveling ride panels have that many indicators and such. Interesting how permenant rides and traveling rides have way different panels, I assumed them to be the same.

No, (in most respects) I dont think I informed everyone here about Virtual Rides too early. I made the first post back when the first demo for the game was about to be released - I'm sure you all wanted to be informed of that!
Another point to consider is that the actual production & development of Virtual Rides had already been going on for a lot longer before my first post on the subject here.
