The moment you have all been waiting for is finally here (which means you can stop messaging us about it).
We are super excited to finally announce that Waterpark Simulator is officially leaving Early Access and launching into version 1.0 on July 31st. Even better, this is also our planned release date for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, meaning console players will be able to join in on the waterpark chaos on day one. So, a little more than 1 month of wait.
On top of that, after the 1.0 launch, we will be awarding every single Early Access player a special in-game present. We are keeping the exact details under wraps for now, so you will just have to wait for the surprise.
Speaking of Steam and Early Access, we will be running our very last discount before leaving Early Access very, very soon. If you want to grab the game for a lower price and secure all of these exclusive extras before the launch, this will be your absolute best chance to do so.
If you missed the previous posts, we already showed you
We are going to avoid showing those giant slides here for the time being, but let us do something that everyone likes doing.
Thank you all so much for being an amazing community throughout this entire journey. Get ready for July 31st! We are definitely excited for the date.
Hello everyone!
If you want to enable it to vote (since sending us the info of voting is considered sending game analytics too)just do this
Paste this command:
%userprofile%\\AppData\\LocalLow\\CayPlay\\WaterparkSimulator
Open the settings.json file in there and in the last line ("UserGaveConsentForAnalytics":) change false to true
You can then vote when you open the game, and in the game settings, remove the consent again afterwards.
Multiplayer mode - Join with up to 3 friends (or 3 strangers up to you) and run a park from the start, or load up your existing parks and have fun together. Proximity voice chat optional.
Character customization - No more random looks. Choose your style and manage your park. Up to 5 slots can be saved. No beards tho (trust us, we are sad there too, but our models were doing some very game-breaking things)
Customizable slides - Time to create the most awesome and probably terrifying slides you can think. We tried to make the system in a way that guests would not get very stuck…yeah we know you are gonna break it in 5 seconds
Weather - Not every day is just sunny. Expect it all, from rain to heatwaves, to… Halloween weather? Each weather comes with its bonus or nerfs
Special events - It’s a waterpark Simulator. You know that the silliness has to be there. Some days special events happen. These can go from a simple tourist bus visiting the town to Aliens trying to kidnap your guests
Mafia - An optional Questline that allows you to get some dubious loans. After that, you decide what happens.
Paintgun - Want to paint at high speed and at a safe distance? Time to use the paintgun
Duck gun - No research needed. Just some cash for the old man at Caymart. Show the world how much you love rubber ducks.
Royal hammer - No extra function beyond a regular hammer, but have you seen the bling on this thing?
Trumpet (multiplayer tool) - You know you always want to show your musical skills. And you can do it right next to their ears with the multiplayer.
Megaphone (multiplayer tool)- Your friends can’t hear across the park? Just shout louder into the megaphone
Walkie-talkies (multiplayer tool - OK fine, I guess you can use the walkie-talkies, and if they are holding one, they can hear you
Ziplines - Want to allow your guests (and yourself) to get from point A to point B at high speed? Zip lines are the answer
Floating basketball hoops - Challenge your friends for a water match of basketball or let your visitors enjoy them.
Pickup guests/staff/other players- Want to help someone get somewhere specific? Now you can do so by giving them a ride
Picking up individual pieces of trash (and other things). We all know what is gonna happen in multiplayer games with this
Spreading sick people. Ok, so we made this one, but we did think of folks that suffer from Emetophobia (check below). So the concept is if a visitor sees another visitor feeling sick, they might get sick too.
No Guest Sickness mode - This is a setting in the game settings that disables the whole thing of visitors getting sick at all. The first time a guest gets sick, you will get a pop-up reminding you this option exists and you can enable and disable at any time.
Benches now are functional and work like loungers. Guests can sit on them and restore some energy if tired
NPCs now enter the Caymart and shop for things. Business is blooming for the old man, and the store looks more lively
The park ticket booth now has shutters that close when the park is closed
Spray can disabled in multiplayer mode, to avoid any ...let's call them issues.
