So you can't walk around your park?

[CallsignHUSKER]

I've heard that this was a cheat in the past (why not a feature?) and that now you can't walk around your own park at all... Is this true? I got this game so i can build a park and then visit it..

Rename a guest or a staff member to "tegidcam" to enable the controllable first person camera mode.

Why is this such an obscure feature if nearly everyone likes to use it???

It's an easter egg, I guess.

No doubt they will improve this in future.

The three most important improvements needed for guest-cam (tegidcam) are...

Walking Speed

Currently the walking speed is too slow and running is too fast. We need a "brisk walk" speed as default and optional jog speed. Walking should be default. Needing to hold SHIFT to walk is annoying.

Field of View

Wider max FoV in first person guest mode. It's currently about 84 degrees, but we want 95 or 100. (Mouse scroll to change.)

Enter/Exit rides

Finally, we need seamless transition from walking around to entering rides in this mode, so the experience feels more realistic and unbroken as a guest viewing the park.

OvenBaked... Are you saying the walking speed is common for the game and that it's not just my laptop running slow? I agree that the walking speed needs to be improved then.

They could make it that a tap of the 'W' key would start a walk with additional taps increasing the speed and a tap of the 'S' key to stop any forward motion. Use the mouse to steer. Borrowing from another game... tap the 'X' key to look around while walking.

Maybe entering a ride's queue line should let the game take control until exiting. Tapping the 'ESC' key will allow you to exit the queue.

Personally... I'd like to be able to visit other player's parks as well.

"W" key is walk forward when held down. If that key also changes speed it would be confusing.

I suggest we keep standard WSAD first person controls. Maybe in settings an option to choose default speed for walking. Hold SHIFT to run... .I'm sure they will figure out the best method. The future of this game will need better first person guest-cam, and I'm sure they will provide it.

I was just thinking 1 to 3 taps of the 'W' key... the 3rd being basically a run and the next or 4th basically back to a walk. Tapping the 'S' will stop and reset the forward 'W' key. Not having to hold the key, but I am also a fan of the WASD. I actually didn't know there was a player-cam other than clicking on a guest and going into the first person-cam.

I agree with you and I'm sure they will.

And annoying the other guests because your pushing forward to the front of the queue :D

Ok, so you can walk around your park, it's just a hidden cheat. How about instead of hiding the feature they make it better and easier to use?

[nightkill41]

Like a 'VISIT PARK' button in the MANAGE PARK tab that starts you just outside the entrance of your park in first-person? Sounds good to me.

[CallsignHUSKER]

Yeah, a simple change like that, like making the feature less obscure, would make it better. The developer's seem to have the philosophy that if you can't do something well, don't do it at all. But by all accounts tegidcam is good enoguh for many, many players to use.. so maybe the devs are being to hard ont hemselves. Also, it IS in the game anyway, so they may as well make it easy to access.

More important things to worry about than a 3rd camera option

[CallsignHUSKER]

I disagree.

[Wylie28]

Well a minority opinion isnt a priority. Common sense wins over. You can simulate the effect with the second camera control already in the game. The only difference is it doesnt auto adjust height

IT is actually common in many games ... press w to walk forward ... tap w and press it again to "walk" faster.

... I want o be a (VIP) guest (with a thingy pass ... or what was it called) in my park ... I want o be able to enjoy all rides ... and go to food stalls .... (and VR would be nice)
