Posted 5 hours ago5 hr COMMUNITY UPDATE #9 - October 1, 2025It's time for our next community update, and with it brings the spooky season! We have lots of news and updates for you all today, so dive into all the tricks and treats!This is Halloween, Everybody Make a Scene!Our Halloween/Autumn theme returns with updated colors, elements, and other visual candy sprinkled throughout the site! This new theme was rebuilt from the ground up to work with our UI/UX update that was rolled out earlier this year. You can swap between the dark (Halloween) theme or the light (Autumn) theme via the theme selector on the bottom left corner of every page on our community. Our default ParkCrafters theme is also always available, should you want to use the normal theme, which can also be found on the bottom left corner of every page. Our Discord server has also seen a Halloween makeover! Our Halloween/Autumn theme runs from October 1st, 2025, until November 1st, 2025. Trick or treat!Organizing the OrganizationSince ParkCrafters was created, we hosted a forum for each supported game in our community. Each category was mostly filled with projects that members would post, which is great to see, but left newer members wondering where they can post general news/discussions for each game. This wasn't very clear from our category view perspective, so we've added dedicated sub-categories to each game on ParkCrafters. Each forum game will now host sub-categories of Discussions, Projects, Support, and Tutorials & Articles to help organize and better convey where members can post what. All existing topics have been moved to their appropriate location as well. We hope this helps everyone understand where they can post their content or discussions!Discord-ifying the DiscordTo further drive home our organization tweaks, and with an increase in activity on our Discord server, we've also updated our Discord to better show channels and categories for each game. New channels, categories, and voice channels for further organization have been added! We've also added some extra fun things, such as soundboard effects, emojis, and stickers, to our server. Be sure to join our Discord and hop on a call sometime to check it all out!Smile for the Camera - Introducing ParkScape!Earlier this year, we sent out a survey to better understand what members want out of ParkCrafters. One of the feedback we got was more competitions, but when we would host a competition, we found that not many people would follow through with it all the way to the end. We still want to host those full-on from scratch project competitions, but we also wanted to provide something a bit more casual that doesn't require as much work, so many more people can participate in it. Introducing ParkScape, our screenshot competition! Once every 3 months, ParkCrafters will host a ParkScape competition where anyone can submit a screenshot from any of their currently being worked on or future projects in any game we host on our community for public voting. The winner will receive a badge that further upgrades with each additional win you receive! Signups for 2025's Quarter 4 ParkScape is now open and can be found here, along with more information regarding the competition. We hope to see many awesome screenshot entries!Let's Get Spoopy!ParkCrafters will be hosting a fun, small Halloween event on our Discord server on October 30th, 2025, to help celebrate Halloween! Join us as we have a discussion on scary theme park stories, interesting theme park facts, and some fun and games, followed by a viewing of a classic Halloween (non-scary, don't worry!) film. You can RSVP on our Discord server or via our Events page here to be reminded of the event.You Know the Drill - More Bug Squishing!More bugs found, more bugs fixed!
