Character Customization and Ability to interact with your theme park, like in Thrillville: Off the rails! and RollerCoaster Tycoon 3

I saw Planet Coaster for the first time and was actually impressed by the visuals and everything about it. Mostly being the fact that it is a game about running a theme park and creating your own roller coaster. Upon watching a video on the game, there was a small gripe I had: The interactivity just wasn't really there. The idea I thought of for Planet coaster, if the beta allows the community to suggest ideas and make this happen, would be to add a character customization and more interactivity on the game, such as riding your very own rides, creating not only roller coasters but also other rides as well, being able to interact in places such as souvenir stores, restaurants, and even public bathrooms. The game could also have a third person camera that follows the character. It could be compared as Planet coaster being RollerCoaster Tycoon with a mix of Thrillville: Off The Rails! and the Sims series. That could mean that one's theme park would be like going to Disney World or Universal Studios, especially when going to theme parks shared by others who play it. With enough interactivity to give even some replayability, I'm very sure that this idea would grab the interests of those who would agree to this idea. I really do hope this idea reaches its potential in possibility! [big grin][up]

Planet Coaster has character creation.

The developers locked it behind an excessive paywall in a temporarily-available version of the game that, pre-release, cost 3x the price of the full game.

Is that so? I never really knew that, but when is it coming out or so? Also, how about the massive interactivity, such as ordering food at a restaurant, buying souvenirs, and even staying in a hotel or resort? I think this idea of making an interactive game out of the already promising game Planet Coaster would be exciting.

It's not coming out. It was an exclusive feature for people who overpaid for an exclusive version of the game well before it came out that was rendered unavailable long before release. We don't get it, presumably ever.

this thread is great.

@FinalMantasyX - are you talking about the VIP pass? Yea that was a pretty lame cash grab pulled by the devs. It really didnt add any value to the game like one might have hoped for. but the game does have an "avatar creator" for everybody to use

@PsychoJose16 - there was a first person feature that was allegedy "in the works" its a cheat called "tegidcam" but apparently the feature was dropped because nothing was ever discussed on it since alpha 2. I would really like to have interactive guest mode too!

 

[PsychoJose16]

I Agree! If anything, we should also tell the devs about this to see if it's possible. Being able to not only interact with the guests like in Thrillville: Off the Rails!, but also being able to do much more than anyone could think would be rather amazing! It would be like as if the only limit of creativity, interactivity, and ingenuity as well as innovation is your imagination. [praise][up]

I'd also wish they would let those who actually bought the game be able to customize their own character and have the player roam around his/her own park with his/her character.

I do hope we can keep this thread thriving!

THIS IS MY DREAM TOO!!!! DEVs, HEAR US PLEASE! [haha] <- *This is me praying hard here*

And, a small suggestion: add a button so we can locate our AVatar ingame. I was playing and just by sheer luck stumbled upon my avatar walking my park (he even was named "SmaugBR"). It was fantastic. So please, allow a button to center view on him and, in case we press it and the avatar is not yet, make the button spawn the avatar in park entrance.

...and the best, as PsychoJose mentioned, allow us to interact with the park!!! PLEAAAASE! [cry][cry][cry]

 

[PsychoJose16]

Yes to your suggestion! I'd also say we should not only play as your very own avatar and play the game like it's a better innovation of Thrillville: Off The Rails!, but also interact with the park and not be limited to just only rides and games, but also to souvenir stores, restaurants that you could eat in *If you'd add them along with the quick service restaurants* Larger gift shops to put AFTER the ride ends, shops *In which you could Also shop in for inventory along with the gift shops*, on-site hotels *In case the theme park is so good that some want to stay for a while, while you get to stay for as long as you'd like*, Holiday specials in theme parks *Like in Halloween, scary or not-so-scary things depending on the person*, Christmas, Easter, and other things in the seasons, Kiosks with gifts and infos and the sort, and even transportation for the theme parks, like Shuttles, Trains, and even ferries! With all of those things in this game, I'm sure that this game will much more immersive, interactive, and even fun in its final product with all of these ideas put into the game! I really do hope the devs take a look at this and see how great of an idea this could be as a benefit to the game in comparison with other games like this! [big grin] [up]
