Alpha 0.2 date release date revealed

I actually think it would make a lot of sense for Frontier to release at least one unscheduled dollop of scenery items on the community. The best advertisement for this game has surely been the amazing stuff that has been created with just two themes......

The community is a VERY big asset for Frontier at the moment, so it makes sense to maximise their capabilities.

Which is entirely against what Frontier has planned. Minor updates to fix current issues with the Alphas and large content updates to add new features and more content.

The community is a very big asset but it also shouldn't dictate release schedules for content because they're not dealing with the actual development of content itself.

Woohoo!!!!! Another great day with amazing news from the Planet Coaster team! [big grin]
 
Thank you!!
Nice with a fixed date! Hoped it would be around my birthday 12 of may because my guy is out on business trip that weekend, boo on him lol!

But still, exciting news!!
 
This is an Alpha build... not even a Beta.

6 weeks, 9 weeks, whatever... as long as they get it right, fix a few bugs along the way and the terrain editor is awesome and let's you build tunnels.

Plus if the coasters mean that there will be more coasters unlocked and available instead of just 2 types, then that is even more awesome.

It takes a long time to program all this and get it right. They could easily have sat on this for another year but instead made it available as an Alpha build. So we need to have patience and let them build this right.
 
To justify this I recommend looking at the developers that do things right. Frontier, Blizzard, Polyphony digital...

They may not be the fastest but they make sure that what you get in hand is the best thing they can give. These three companies alone are the pinnacle, the acme, the zenith, the apex of customer assurance IMHO

If you want fast, ok games, there are plenty. Frontier is doing it correctly, with lots of proof of thier work.
 
Hi,

I'm glad they take time to make a great game.

But, for the player that i'am, i want some more stuff to keep me in the "hype train".

So, i hope they planned to release some little update content witn more objects, walls, ect ....

It would be a mistake to not "feed" the community during 6 weeks.....

I strongly agree with you !

Ok, this is only the early alpha, but they can add content once a week.

I'm waiting for benches, table for peeps to rest. I hope that vomite and diseases will be included soon. Peeps and staff management should be included shortly as well because to me, these are basics. Don't tell me that these particular things will be included during the beta, because basics just can't be included so late !

But they stated their release schedule - no promises were made as to what was going in to the alpha when we bought the early bird access. Now we know the schedule of releases and what will be released in each one, with park management in the last phase. We all agreed to Frontiers schedule when we bought in to the early bird access. You can't expect Frontier to change their whole schedule which has probably been planned months ago to work with staff commitments,etc just because you are impatient! [happy] ( though I totally get it as I would love earlier released stuff too! )
 
This is awesome and it releases on my birthday. Great!
Thats 3 days before mine :)

And Frontier did say between 6 to 8 weeks betweenphases. So this is pretty much right on time.
Im not 100% sure but i would expect more content added to phase one before phase 2 arrives.
 
For me that's way too long. I was hoping for some minor updates every now and then... With a few more props and things like this. I have to admit i'm somewhat disappointed :(

try to use 1 prop in more then 1 way :D thats the trick to this game. and disappointed no its way better then roller Toaster tycoon world !!

and yes this is not a Typo [Toaster ]
 
I just hope they're actively reading the forums and implementing peoples' wishes, as well.

I would hate to see most of the great ideas here not make it into the final game!
