Description

Project.1.mp4

Adds a RollerCoaster Tycoon styled break screen to the lineup. Whenever a donation is made, a balloon floats up. For every $50 in a single donation, another balloon is added. There's a 25% chance a balloon can pop mid-flight. For every $5000 raised, a popup will show up at the bottom to celebrate. There's also a 10% chance for any donation to show a joke popup. There's a 20 second timeout to these, to prevent many of these popups one after another. The total donation amount is shown in the bottom left. The channel number (331) refers to the release date of the original RCT (3/31).

While I greatly like the concept behind this channel, there are some issues that would need addressing before we can use it.

Both the text and the balloons are far too small to be legible on the broadcast, and it's not especially obvious when a donation has actually come through because of both of those things. While it may be inaccurate to the original game, both should be made significantly bigger.

I wonder if there are ways that the background could be made more interesting? Rather than using the same video each time, maybe it could advance the state of the park so it looks like it's been expanded over time? Or tie that to milestones? Maybe could loop just small parts of a larger video that can then have coasters or parts of the park added on those milestones?

None of those ideas are meant to be instructions, just wondering if there are ways you could expand on this that'd make it more compelling. That said, there's already a lot of charm to a channel like this, so could well still be merged as-is if the size issues can be addressed.
