Full of hope and expectation, Beverley P enters the maze. RogueLeader23 observed her behaviour, using the mobile version of the game's accelerate time option to speed up proceedings. The first guest to walk through the entrance to Just A Walk In The Park was Beverley P. The experiment began with the injection into the maze of just one AI guest, to see how long they'd take to fully navigate it. One slip up could mean that your long and windy route to the finish is countered with an unexpected 'shortcut' you were unaware of." And, when near completion (especially with RCT), keep track of where you're building. "If you close off every route, your maze cannot be completed. "The only design challenge when creating a maze is to always remember to keep a route open," RogueLeader23 explains. To give you an idea of just how enormous and complex, 36 pathways become available at Checkpoint 1 alone. It took 20 in-game years of cutting through a massive hedge to build Just A Walk In The Park.
Checkpoints were incorporated just as a way to keep track of the progress of the guests. The maze was created with the ultimate goal of directing one unlucky maze-goer through the entire park. Construction of A Walk in the Park, 15 years in. What resulted was "an abusive, 14 hour project", RogueLeader23 says. "The idea again immediately surfaced and I began making plans to construct a maze that fit just about the entire park." Classic is a mix of RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 and 2 - the brilliant originals designed by Chris Sawyer - ported to iOS platforms. It only became a reality after RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic came out in December 2016. "There was no cruelty involved, as every guest who entered the queue (maybe?) knew what they were up against," he says.īut the devilish plan was shelved as real-life took over. He tells me he used to draw mazes to pass the time as a child, and the name of his park was inspired by Jurassic Park "and how it relates by going through hell to escape".Ī couple of years ago, after downloading RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 from Steam, RogueLeader23 had the idea to construct a maze to see how long it would take for a basic, 15-year-old AI to successfully navigate. Just A Walk In The Park is the work of "RogueLeader23", a 28-year-old from the east coast of America who recently got stuck into the excellent mobile game RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic. In fact, some seem stuck in endless loops, destined to toil away forever in a virtual purgatory. Over the course of 50 in-game years, none of the guests have managed to make it out the maze. It is the brainchild of a particularly mischievous fan who created a park that's home to just one attraction: a massive maze - and let 16 AI guests inside to see if they could find their way to the exit. Is this the most evil RollerCoaster Tycoon creation ever? Probably. Maybe, in another 50 years, she'll have reached the half-way point. Miserable, exhausted and desperate for a drink, Regina soldiers on. But she still has a long way to go there are five checkpoints in total.
47 years after she began her journey through the maze, there is a sliver of hope that she may find the exit. managed to make it past Checkpoint 1, and is currently circling Checkpoint 2. If she were able to talk, she might whisper: "kill me". Starving, thirsty and exhausted, Beverley ekes out a desperate, endless existence, alone and without hope. She's spent the last 50 years toiling away near its entrance.
