- Games in a game - 16 January 2023
Hi everyone. We hope you’re having a great 2023 so far! We’re currently working on a Demo version of RollerCoaster Mechanic for you to enjoy. In the meantime we wanted to show you a few minigame sneak peaks. Firstly, a matching minigame. Some repairs will be just a few clicks away, like the fuse matching minigame. Just click on the appropriate fuse holders and match them to their respective locations, and boom! (Meaning “done” not like an explosion, though that might happen from time to time). Of course, that is the most simple, early game example of the matching minigame. The next one you might recognize if you have been paying close attention to our devlogs. This is a memory minigame, in which you will have to memorize a combination in which the “fuse reset” buttons light up, and then repeat it to reactivate the electrical current. We have more in store for you, but will not spoil it…
- The Chosen - 17 November 2022
Hi everyone, hope you’re sitting comfortably. Today I will tell you a story. There was an urn, to which all the votes were cast - opinions that would shape the future. But when all seemed well and properly organised, there suddenly was a tie! One final vote would decide, what the whole team could not. “Take our vote” - said the designers, waving a lengthy documentation. “This document contains all the arguments for our vote, why, how and when it should be chosen.” “We have decided” - sang the artists, and their paper was adorned in beautiful pictures and chaotic scribbles. “This is objectively the best vote” - said the developers, showing their vote on a monitor presented on a black background. “We should pick our vote, else there will be disappointment”. Which vote was chosen, no one can tell, but the voting was concluded, and the Rollercoaster Park will henceforth be called: TRILLIUM…
- Brains! - 13 September 2022
Hello! Rollercoaster Mechanic development is on the right track, we are currently upgrading our controller and writing some scripts for the UI, while level designing and modeling at the same time! But today is a special time, as we need your wits, your smarts, your brains! We want you to help us name the amusement park where the game takes place. Note, that the park is vast, and divided into many regions with different themes (as shown in previous devlogs). Got an idea? Write it down in the comments, and if the stars align, it will be implemented into the game for all to see! As a reward for the best park name: A free game, RollerCoaster Mechanic, some time before the release. Your name (nick) will be placed in the game, as a trophy. The name you created will be presented at the beginning of the game. You will feel enormous amounts of satisfaction. Hope to read your ideas soon! Stay hea…
- It’s a wonderful, wonderful life - 22 August 2022
That’s right. We are taking on more complex levels, adding more details and expanding on already existing in-game biomes. We wonder if you will recognize the presented in-development levels when they are dirty and half-destroyed in-game. Here, apart from working at heights on the Ferris Wheel, you might want to make everything as clean and tidy as possible (you can be sure that many visiting children WILL lick and bite the hell out of those giant cakes and doughnuts). Don’t go crazy on sweets yourself! Unless you really want to ;) Stay healthy, stay safe and stay tuned for more Rollercoaster Mechanic info.
- AI Takes Control - 3 August 2022
This time a bit behind the scenes while we're working on the game. Rollercoaster Mechanic employs advanced artificial intelligence that increases the enjoyment of the player by adjusting the difficulty and complexity of levels on the fly. Check what the algorithms came up with. This content is also generated by AI. How do you like it?
- In the sands of the future - 25 June 2022
Today, a sneak peek into the future. We present to you a couple of future-oriented regions (a work in progress), where you will find thematically consistent rides and challenges. It might look like a science fiction town or a piece of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, but that is just an illusion, scrupulously built for park guests, to shift them into a land of wonders. So, how about it? A park is not only the attractions but the interchanging aesthetic; a journey between worlds, where the ride is a satisfying finale. We work to reflect the experience. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay tuned for more Rollercoaster Mechanic updates
- The Garden Level - 17 May 2022
Hi theme park fans! Lately, we have been focusing on finalising the level of the garden, adding more beauty to an already attractive environment. You’ll find statues, labyrinths, pools and fountains, as well as maintenance buildings which are paramount to having everything work. At the same time, we are working on new attractions, and consulting the technical implications that they might carry. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay tuned for more information on Rollercoaster Mechanic! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1280660/Rollercoaster_Mechanic/ Add our new project to Wish List to stay informed https://store.steampowered.com/app/1779610/Farm_Renovator/
- LEISURE PARK - 30 March 2022
Today we bring you another amusement park level, still in development. A carefully organised and orderly leisure park, a great place for fountains, food stalls and relaxing spots, or a place to get lost in (literally, there is a labyrinth there). At the same time, we are working on the next amusement park attraction, so keep your eyes open for that in the coming devlogs. As always stay tuned, and stay safe! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1280660/Rollercoaster_Mechanic/
- NATURE PARK - 13 March 2022
Tired of city noises? Well, the park's creators did think about people that just want to kick back and relax. The Nature Park region is a wild forest, full of green trees and bushes to ease your tired eyes. You will have to repair objects like benches or coffee tables and clear the pavements. Just a stop between more technical repairs in other regions ;) Add our new game to Wish List https://store.steampowered.com/app/1779610/Farm_Renovator/
- The Candyland - 23 February 2022
Take me down to the candy land, where trees are sweet and the fun is grand! Embark on a journey through giant lollipops, sugar sands, and dog-sized brownies. Take a ride on the carousel and make sure that everything is in order. Make Candyland an every child’s dream! Changelog: A brand new region, The Candyland. A dynamic weather system (in progress) Written and recorded Noah and Leo monologues Created a simple pest AI. So that the rats would run from the brothers. Destroying objects with a hammer mechanic (physically collapsing objects). Created some new UI art for the park map. Updated the tablet UI.

- Horses and clowns - 7 February 2022
Hi everyone! Do you care for a ride? We present to you, the carousel! It has lights, it has music and some creepy clown portraits. A little less adrenaline, but also a lot of satisfaction.

Have a nice day! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1280660/Rollercoaster_Mechanic/
- PEW… aaand it’s gone! - 15 December 2021
Among the numerous applications of a laser, one stands above all others in the eyes of the brothers. We proudly present the Pew Pew laser cleaner and rust remover! It is not an alien technology, at least we do not know if they invented such a miracle yet, but we certainly have! Just point to a rusty surface, an old painted plank and pull the trigger and see all your problems evaporate! Now with a cutting edge changeable power cartridges. Warning: Do not use it in the vicinity of cats, tigers, lions and other felines…
- Ready to be blown away? - 11 November 2021
Ready to be blown away? Coming to you with another development log of Roller Coaster Mechanic! Each brother has a different skill set. While Noah is tech-savvy and repair-oriented, Leo is more of a restorer, which doesn't mean he won’t have access to his own set of kickass tools! Ladies and gents, we present to you “The All-blower 2000”, a tool which will come in handy when facing more tatty objects and attractions. Show those leaves who’s boss, and stay tuned for more info on Rollercoaster Mechanic! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1280660/Rollercoaster_Mechanic/

- Devlog #4 - Rollercoaster Mechanic truck! - 21 May 2021
Hello, Rollercoaster Mechanic community! What is a mechanic without his tools! Today we would like to share with you the first look at one of the most important tools w in the arsenal of a skilled mechanic - mobile workshop.

- Devlog #3 - This rollercoaster is almost running! - 13 April 2021
https://i.ibb.co/wSH7mSZ/Intro.gif Hello, Rollercoaster Mechanic community! We are sorry for being so quiet the last couple of weeks. Our dev team closed themself in the cellar of park in to analyze the construction of biggest rollercoasters in the world ... so you know ... it took some time. Mostly because they had too much fun, and they refused to go home. Today we would like to show you some parts of the early alpha version of what you will see in the Prologue version of Rollercoaster Mechanic that is coming to Steam later this year. https://i.ibb.co/Hd3CPs7/Overview.gif In Rollercoaster Mechanic Prologue you will be able to see the first area of the theme park that awaits your help in full version. Fix the main gate, clean the ticket gates are, fix carousels, and make the rollercoaster great again! https://i.ibb.co/kxRdm0d/Climb.gif Not all problems are on the ground, sometimes you…
