Hi coaster friends,

We're ready to jump back into our regular streaming schedule! Please note that with the time change, our new streaming times are:

Tuesday 12:00 GMT - twitch.tv/frontierdevelopments
Wednesday 19:00 GMT - youtube.com/planetcoaster/live
Friday 14:30 GMT - facebook.com/planetcoaster (depending on availability)

Today's Twitch stream will be dedicated to one of our beloved PlanCoFam members, Anneke. She's been recently diagnosed with acute leukemia and we want to celebrate her contribution to this community - James Stant and I will go through some of her most awesome creations!

Tomorrow's YouTube stream will be a Halloween special with Nick Rodgers! If you have any creepy, spooky, or scary blueprints you'd like us to showcase, please send the links to community@frontier.co.uk.

See you soon!
[heart]
Bo

Hi Joël , thanks for the list. It's always great to see links for the workshop items after the stream. But there was one more item shown, a shop by Kapitän Klafuti (???) (around 23:20). Would you like to add that?

Have fun playing Parkitect!

The 1990's called. They want their isometric view back!

[haha]

 

[widlanquebec]

I personally just find it odd that they not talk more about anniversary update... begin to hype the thing. But probably that there are not so much to show. I'm not frustrated about their way to communicate, it's just a boring way to do this.

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Weren't people just complaining that they hyped things too much? [redface]

 

[Bo Marit]

I think they've made that pretty clear, they won't say anything until they are ready to. I don't really like how they are handling this. But it's their company and they have their reasons for it. At this point I'm so irritated with them, I probably won't even watch the livestream update when it happens. Just wait for the update to happen and then check it out. My guess is we'll probably get a few new things but not a lot more because we've already gotten a lot with the previous updates. But you never know they could surprise us. I will reinstall the game after the update happens. I've been playing other games in the mean time. One more note: They keep talking about keeping things positive, it's kind of hard the way they've been responding to feedback lately. I personal don't thing they deserve PC game of the year award after the way they've handled the community this year. There are other games that are deserving of the award as well. I've kept my honest opinions to myself long enough. (There are still things that need to be fixed in the game and they haven't done it yet)

Hiya, mind telling me what you don't like about how we handle the feedback? We have stated multiple times that we have taken some extra time after the Expo to implement that community feedback into the 1.4 update as best as we can. How do you feel we are wrongly responding to feedback? How would you like us to be more positive?
I would strongly suggest watching back the past few livestreams, where we specifically talked about how we handle the community feedback happy to listen!

Hi Bo. I really was looking forward to meeting you at FX17. I understand you were too busy to chat, so a bit sad I missed out there.

I think the 1.4 update update with a Sam spoiler and a promise of more, is exactly the right recipe for dominantly positive hype. Thank you so much.

Regarding "how we handle the feedback"... It's tricky I'm sure, because the opinions here are so diverse. The wonderful feedback from devs and indeed everyone at FX17 was, for me, perfect. If the forums reflected that, perhaps that would calm a lot of topics down. What was different? The quality of the feedback, and some of the technical reasons that it's harder than it looks, and some of the ideas that don't work, like that. I suspect there's a high geek factor here - we do like details!

But just commenting at all, even if repetitively, helps. I think every couple in the world experiences the feeling "you're not listening" when their partner is silent. Acknowledgement matters, even if there's nothing new to say.

You also forget, you're a rock star to us! Just noticing us is very cool. Typing a post to us is disproportionately awesome.

This is the best comment I've read on these forums.

WHAT? You should've just tackled me! Busy or not, I wanted to meet the entire PlanCoFam!!! I'm sorry I missed you, but please please please next time just shout at me and say hello. So important to me! Thanks for the kind words.

Here is an example how they handled a situation on the forum with feedback someone gave to them.
"Even the thread title was changeb by a mod to show at one glance that this thread is about positivity and an easy question!!!"
Another part of the persons post stated
"the OP of this thread was written two (!!!) weeks ago and we never got an answer. Even if everybody was on vacation we should have gotten an answer by now. In a time were there are complains about negativity in the forums and in which Community Managers ask during a livestream for more positivity and being nice and respectful, I cannot understand this behaviour by Frontier at all anymore"
Here is a link https://forums.planetcoaster.com/sh...answer-on-future-passionate-development/page4

So a lot of it is how they respond in the forums to certain individuals. It was on page 4 in that post.
I would also like to know how they go about deciding who they respond to or not.

That particular thread was escalating into negativity and I posted a pretty long reply explaining how we do things. It's literally on the same page you posted unfortunately we have to travel and get incredibly busy and are not able to personally reply constantly, in which case we are blessed with some amazing mods who do their best to keep the forums a balanced place for everyone (which they did in that instance). We are not a community team of 50 people, and before we answer to certain things we have to run information past the team to make sure we communicate the correct information to you. Also, as stated in that reply you linked, we don't communicate about things when we aren't ready to for several reasons.

Hope that makes sense [heart]
