    I asked for a theme park in space with aliens, but it just loaded a generic(?) park, with 5 different themed "islands", but none of them are space themed. Do I need an account to actually create a prompt?

      Hi! Thanks for trying it! Sometimes the agent can get tripped up if it doesn't have a component that matches the theme. For example, I can tell you I don't have a rocketship asset or alien asset, so it might default to something to generic in replacement. And also we have lots of pirate assets, so then it might lean toward a pirate-theme if it sees the word "island."

      That said - I just noticed a bug making them overly generic. Fixing right now!

        not a lot of horror assets either unfortunately. i wanted ghosts and ghouls and zombie tiki with my pirates but got industrial wasteland and candyland.

          You should be able to prompt to create your own horror assets, but it might take some time for them to build though!

      Same happened to me (with my very different prompt).

    Actually pretty cool. One idea would be to take a theme park map, like what they give you at the entrance. And recreate the park using that image.

      oooh! Fun idea. I think this might actually work... if you upload an image + prompt it to make a theme park referencing the map.

    No special Bender easter egg if you request a theme park with blackjack and hookers?

      that's kind of you to write, thanks for reading. Do you like RollerCoaster Tycoon too?! Anything we can make better?

    “Build me a cool theme park” is not a very exciting prompt.

      that's fair. Thanks for your feedback!

      Perhaps more exciting: build a chocolate factory slide and river with a hot fudge river... haha
