When i saw the people dancing in fornt of the pirate band, which is awsome, i remembered one question.
The item seems to be a coin op item. It looks like if it has a slot in front. So will it be a something where we get more money from the guests?

As Periocus mentioned the Pirate Band seems to be coin operated or at least it cycles through animation. In the Live Stream yesterday we saw the guests reacting to the band with a dance, they seemed to react even when the band wasn't playing (@ 58:51). Do you plan for the guests AI to know if something is active or not?

Will the guests have mobile phones, can they use them during animation? take photos maybe even selfies that would be funny or perhaps arrange to meet others.

Indeed, you are right!!

Guess it's confirmed then? Hopefully it will be in Alpha 2 [big grin]

Hey Guys!! Thanks for taking the time to answer questions.... Here are my 2:

I love the lighting in the game so far... what additional (if any) lighting plans are "on the list"? I am hoping for a moving head type of a light (can be seen on the Sky Ace perimeter). Perhaps some sci-fi tron like LED chasers? Laser? Etc...

One other question... Will there be better transitions for guests getting on / off rides?

1. On average how many different software programs do you use to create your animations
2. Which animation has taken the least amount of time to produce and the most amount of time to produce currently
3. What are your favourite rides or attractions you have been on.

Will we see guests using phones/ cameras?

We have seen them use them in rendered videos and I really think it would add an amazing level of realism to see guests check there phones, take selfies and photos etc.

Just one simple question from me. Please don't introduce VOMIT into the game! There is no need for it and I think it will spoil the style of the game. You hardly ever see people in real parks being sick, so there is no need to have this in Planet Coaster. Occasional rubbish on the paths, yes, as long as it's not over done. Most people use litter bins, which will be in the game anyway. But seeing vomit and loads of rubbish lying all over the paths, will make the game look tacky.

My question:
Did someone from your art team had lessons in the famous classroom "A113"? (This is the classroom, where many pixar and disney animators got their talent.)

Will there be LGBT couples in the game? I would love that!

I was wondering exactly that, and agree it would be a very nice addition to the game!

I agree, however if you have like 1 in 100 people or so coming off a ride, being sick, holding their mouth and then sprinting to the next bathroom would be nothing but realistic.
What happens though if there is no bathroom in the vincinity?
Or to ask the other way around, how will you be rewarded for having good infrastructure in that regard?

Hi Planet Coaster & users!

I created my account just to send questions :)
Huge fan of the game already. Playing it and listening to the music theme has the same effect on me that going to Disneyland Paris does (which is huge ah ah). Thanks for the amazing work you're doing and how you keep in touch with the community.

My question is: You already introduced a few animations to increase the immersion and make it more like a living thing. You showed yesterday for example how peeps react to music animations and how they also move as couples and so on. My question is, how far will you go into those details ? I truly think that those non-gameplay related animations are wonderful. Will peeps chat together, look for their mates, stop to check a map, look at their other family members while they scream in coasters, stop because they are exhausted and so on...?

Thanks again and continue with the wonderful work you're doing. Can't wait for tonight's stream and for Alpha 2.

Another quick question: We saw that peeps are distance conscious (pirate band example), but they don't seem to be direction conscious at the moment. Will peeps look at the scenery, point them or wave at mascots and so on ?

Thanks !

1. Recolorable stuff
We know certain stuff will be recolorable and especially some wall pieces would increase possibilities once we can recolor them. Will this be available in Alpha 2?
And if not, will it be available in the final game?

2. Fences
In RCT3 the fences were considered scenery. Which could be done because we only needed straight pieces since we only had 90 degree angles. This is more complicated in PC ofcourse with all the curves. Will there be an option to automatically add fitting fences to a path when i want to? (I think que lines already have this)

3. Terrain
What textures will we get on the Terrain Tool?
We already saw a few but will there be more? Snow/Ice would be nice to have for example or maybe a "Moon" stuctured landscape to go with the space theme?

4. Flatrides
I know you can't or won't give a number, but rougly speaking how many flatrides will we get?

5. Flatrides Duplicates
If im correct we saw 2 versions of the double inverter, one in the announcement video and another version in the stream last night.
We also saw different sketches of certain rides. This makes me wonder, will (some) flatrides have more then 1 version? Like a themed and a generic?

6. Lights
The lights received a LOT of great feedback, but once we found out how awesome it is to play with lighting there were also a lot of requests popping up.
Can anything be said about if lighting will be expanded?

7. Ride events
There have been a lot of suggestions about triggered events. For example opening doors when a train approaches.
Will this be part of the game?

Will there be more bands added in the future and maybe a speaker which you can place in your park playing music or the PC theme? And the guests could dance to that like what we saw last night! :)

When I see the "automatic" stairs function, I was asking myself ok it's cool, but what about guests in wheelchairs? Will we have an option to not have automatic stairs and instead give them a ramp to be able to use it?

Will it be possible to build multiple parks in one map? Like Disneyland Paris & Walt Disney Studios with 2 seperate entrys?

Will there be maybe in the future a Hotel Add on that we can build Hotels and Rooms...

And will there be a choise to chose realistic opening and closing time like in the real world?

thank you <3 you allready did a unbelievable good job frontier :*

Will the single VIP pass guests get any special animation that only they do? So you can half pick them out of a sea of people?

Thanks! From an Animation Uni Student in Australia <3
