OK, this took a bit longer to cook, but we wanted to add some new features based on some of the most common QOL requests we had from you that could be produced in a shorter period (also known as things that won't take us more than a full month to create and will end up in 1.1) Talking of 1.1, new content will slow down a bit (we will still do updates if bugs appear that need fixing), but what we got lined up does take its time to be produced, and we'd rather not rush them (for example the much requested lazy rivers) Ok let's talk about the new stuff ShelvesYou've been asking for these, and we

Some of you might have seen us testing out this feature with some streamers, and it is finally time to let you do the same You can now change your park's logo. You can do so by going into your tablet in-game. In there, you can find a shortcut for your logo folder and instructions on how to do it. You can now also add arches and signs where you can write messages, as this has been something requested by many to help with the zoning of their parkThe other very requested changes we have implemented are the persistence of items dropped in the floor after quitting the game. They no longer despawn w

Time for our weekly release. And this one brings 2 new features requested by you guys One is the possibility of rebinding keys for keyboard and mouse users. You've been asking for this for some time, and it is one of the features we wanted to implement after 1.0 for accessibility. Let us know how it works for you and if there is anything you think we can improve in it; let us know in the comments. You can access this feature via settings -> controls The other new one is the free camera mode. By pressing F1, you can take control of a drone and fly around your park and take screenshots of your p

We were aiming for 1 update a week now (normally end of the week), but some cases we saw in multiplayer this weekend kinda forced us to push this update a few hours ago, so we also added any changes that we had already tested.

So we wanted to write something today that wasn't just a patch note. So we opted for the regular update option because we wanted to make sure you see it.We want to thank every single one of you who have supported us. Whether you were here from day 1 or just joined us after the 1.0 release almost a week ago, it has been amazing seeing the support and, above all, seeing you guys having fun with this silly game we created called Waterpark Simulator.It's been great seeing your messages, your videos, your posts, but above all, your fun. Thanks for the support and faith you put in us. We do try to r

As is typical after a big release, there is always a need for a large number of small fixes and changes based on your gameplay We owe you 3 patch notes, Saturday (1.0.21) Monday (1.0.28) And today, Tuesday (1.0.31) We normally try to get the patch notes out as close to the update release, but it's been quite busy, so we had to focus more on the updates than the patch notes. We also should start slowing down the number of these, but these involved some major game improvements or fixes that we deemed urgent. There is still one issue we have seen happening a couple of times to some of you. It inv

Yep, the time has come. 1.0 is here. I am not gonna bore you today with many words, as we know you want to dig into the game. Just want to say a huge thanks to all of you who supported us the past few months and believed in us as we created more and more of this wacky game called Waterpark Simulator Ok, time for the patch notes before I join the studio pizza party (it has become a studio tradition for big launches) NEW STUFF 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.

Hello everyone!The countdown is down to just one week away from the 1.0 launch on July 31st. Our excitement here at Cayplay is great; we can tell you that much. But before we reach that date, we still want to give you a quick last preview of a few smaller mechanics that focus heavily on making a giant difference in multiplayer interactions and bringing more life to your park. If you don't want to be spoiled for content coming for the 1.0 release, this is the time to hit back and wait. We won't be offended if you don't read our post. Keep in mind this is a preview of ongoing working new feature

Hello everyone!We are getting closer and closer to our big launch day(2 weeks now), and today we want to talk about the cost of the game before diving into the previews for this week. A Message Regarding Our 1.0 PricingSo, after a lot of long discussions behind the scenes, we have officially decided not to increase our price when we leave Early Access. This is based on a couple of things, but mainly related to the economy in the world right now and the respect we have for our players (present and future) We want to keep the game as accessible as possible to everyone as we move on to the 1.0 ve

Hello everyone!We are officially just three weeks away from the 1.0 release on July 31st! The whole team is mega excited and doing our best to make this release as great as we can make it. And for today's preview, we have something that many of you have mentioned in the past, when you told us that you would absolutely love to see your parks being utilized after dark. When we initially heard this, we thought, "Well, we can just add a few lanterns to the paths and call it a day". But you know how we work by now. We always like to go that extra mile to make things special. If you don't want to be

Hello everyone!We have a new post this week for you, packed with free goodies, community decisions, and a sneak preview of an entirely new location coming to the game in less than a month now. The Soundtrack Is Now In Your Library As we promised in our last announcement, anyone who owns the game during Early Access gets our Official Soundtrack completely for free, and you get to keep it forever. This also includes any future updates with new tracks. You can access it right now directly through your Steam library by simply searching for Waterpark Simulator Soundtrack, or by heading over to the

Summer Sale So, as we mentioned yesterday we are now starting our last sale before leaving Early Access. So if you want to try the game before 1.0 and haven't had the chance yet, this is the last time you can get it at a lower price during Early access. Reminder, all Early access players will get perpetual access to our soundtrack (just waiting on a last review from Steam, that should be finished very, very soon, hopefully still this week) + an extra surprise in-game later on 1.0. Now we did promise the reveal of new main menus if the last post reached 500 thumbs up, and you guys just went cra
