WE ADDED CONES, SKIPPY HOP FUN POTENTIAL

We added cones to rope off the golf karts. But then we tried walking over them to see what would happen and it turned out to be a fun hop thing happening. The skip mechanics worked well enough to keep it.

Originally we wanted to add these in place of the cones but we may append them to the golf karts instead. Or we can place them with metal poles in a certain area. In general the idea was to have a sign for the golf karts warning players the area is under repair.

IMPROVED METER

In Boiling mode, we improved the meter to show it's close but not quite on target. Still needs work but almost there. In next week's build we'll improve it further by capping it to the 95% mark so you always know there's a bit more to go.


ARCHES

In the future they might get used as signs. They can also act as gates to different sections of the park. We can even use Native American themes and use them as totems.

For now we're keeping them for a variety of interesting reasons. In due time I'm sure they'll fit and play a key role in the game. At the moment, we're adding them for fun to see what it can do.
