Virtual Towers Online Update 1523 Another update just been released, here is an overview of what's been going on to get this latest version made available. Lighting Enhancements and Colour Grading 🌟 The project has been colour graded to create a more cinematic feel. This update also restores vibrant yellows and rich reds across various materials, bringing back many colours that were previously missing from the park. Cinematic Camera Improvements 🎥 The cinematic camera now offers more Field of View (FOV) and Focal Point options. You can zoom in closer and zoom out up to a maximum of 120°, giving you more versatility for capturing better shots and unleashing your creativity. Blueprint Optimization 🛠️ Significant optimization across the project has boosted performance. While results may vary, many players will notice smoother gameplay, but there is still a lot more than can be done and will be done over time! Physics Improvements in the Ball Game (Munity Bay) ⚽ The ball game in Munity Bay now features improved physics for a more realistic and enjoyable experience. Didn’t know you could play it? Now you do—give it a try! Skyride Gondola Colours Improved 🚡 The Skyride gondolas have been updated with improved colours, and the dark roofs have been removed for a brighter and more vibrant design. Also 2 cameras are now present on each seat, giving the ability to sit closer to the window for better views. Air has started to receive its first pass of on ride audio... the animation still needs to be redone which involves a lot of rework before even starting the export process, which then means the audio needs rematching, as well as the timings of each section to create a more stable experience, buts its a start none the less! Dark Forest Progress 🌲 While the Dark Forest area isn’t open yet, work continues behind the scenes. You can check out the progress in areas like Rita getting a new tyre entrance, by riding the Skyride over to Dark Forest or peeking through the construction fence—exciting things are coming!

Farewell to Christmas: Now that the festive season is over, the Christmas overlay has been removed, bringing the park back to its classic look. Lighting and Weather Updates: We’ve made significant improvements to the lighting throughout the park, ensuring it feels brighter and more vibrant, even on cloudy days. Plus, you can still customize your experience by changing the time of day, speed of day, and weather using the in-game tablet. Simply press M to access this feature. Wickerman Shop: More details have been added to enhance the overall atmosphere and design. Frog Fountain Glow-Up: Our beloved Frog Fountain has received some much-deserved care and attention—it’s looking fantastic! Duel Laser Blaster Gallery: This feature remains exclusive to our incredible Patreon supporters for now, with exciting updates coming soon! Thanks for all your support as we continue to refine and grow the park. Stay tuned for even more exciting updates!

Added back the missing marmalizer barrels

After 12hrs, the loading issue which turned into an audio issue has finally been fixed.

This is a test patch to try and fix the start up crash, it might work, it might not, this issue is not something we are experiencing out end so can not replicate, and due to it only effecting some people, and the access violation error unreal crash reporter gives is essentially useless information, it is proving very difficult to track down and solve this issue, specially with it being Christmas and if it is an issue with steam itself, they will not be working right now, so we are trying out best! The start up video and menu background video will have been removed as this could be something related to the crashing, but we dont know.
