Man what a great project, I've been only lightly following it for the last year or so, but it gets me excited. I think I could see myself choosing this as a first open source project to commit to.

Thinking now, I would love to see Dolphin style progress reports every now and then from the project. I'm sure they'd catch a lot of buzz.

Hi, OpenRCT2 dev here.

We already kind-of do that, but it is scattered. See https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0YvVAW9aoL0jq8XIDee0... and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i6IPPi91Xs and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJxlCxnmRiU and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0HTA79NcIE

These and other useful/current information can be found where most of the community is: on reddit /r/rct and /r/openrct2.

You can verify for yourself if you have time; the reports themselves are an excellent resource both for their content itself and as an example to learn from:

Dolphin is an emulator for the Gamecube and Wii (named for Nintendo's original codename for them). Their technical blog posts are amazing and are released every few months.

They do excellent blog posts, outlining tech details and explaining it for less technical people.

Yes its always been a thought that we should do a Dolphin style progress blog but at present there is no one available to write one.
