Dev Diary Part One - The Individual Experience

Great video! Excitement for this game amps up yet again! Keep up the great work Frontier!

The peeps look fantastic. You guys really know how to strike a good balance between peep animation/realism and charm. They are adorable! And the crowd simulation is top-notch as far as I'm concerned. I'm also very excited to hear that thousands of peeps will be more than feasible in Planet Coaster. Your Audio Designer had said that 20,000 is a number you guys are looking at....wow!

Cannot wait to see what you guys have in store, bravo!

Amazing Video for a First DEV, looks amazing

.

The Special edition doesn't include beta/Alpha is that correct, dispatching the T-Shirts and wristbands all over the world ? only specific some parts of the world ?

Very good. I hope that the idea of the Dev Blog keeps to a regular schedule. If it is weekly, perfect. If it is every two weeks. Good. If it is once a month, that could be good too, but it would be mean only a few of them between and now and publication.

ZeroBoogie · Oct 23, 2015

The fact you guys are putting so much time and care into guests says a lot about the quality you guys are shooting for. Very excited!

While I liked having peeps, I didn’t pay much attention to their wants and needs, but they way you're giving more life to them, It will be much more fun to "interact" with them. Thank You Frontier.

I still want RCTW to do good as well, as in RCTW strong in areas, and PC strong in areas.

I'm confused by the buying options. Early Bird Pass gets you early access and that's it; Coaster Head Edition gets you all the goodies but no early access.

Have I got that right?

I really like the behaviour of the peeps... it's like real people which are exploring a park.
The individual/group movement seems to be really good...

Early Bird pass gives you also the finished game.

This game already looks incredible. The fact that it's not even in alpha yet is very promising. It's gonna be amazing when it's all finished.

Went through the Dev Diary, looking amazing so far! Thought I'd make note of the rides I spied in some of the shots [tongue]

- The Claw (Sledgehammer at Canada's Wonderland)
- StarShape (Bling at Blackpool Pleasure Beach)
- Coaster Ferris Wheel (Mickey's Fun Wheel at Disney's California Adventure)
- Zipper (found in a fair few fairgrounds)
- Dual Top Spin (not sure if this one is real!)

Also, 3 roller coasters:
- Vekoma SLC Inverted Coaster
- Sleigh Coaster (?)
- Half Pipe Coaster (not sure if coaster or flat ride)

Looking forward to playing!

That's sort of implied with the whole "early access" thing (not to mention explicitly stated in the product description), otherwise otherwise it'd just be called Beta access, but in any event you haven't addressed the question. You can either have all the goodies (T-shirt etc) or early access but not both (unless you buy the game twice).

At least, that's the way I'm reading it.

Mattlab needs to learn how to post dev blogs like this.....

Love this! It's so exciting to see the game coming together.

I think I felt the same as a lot of people here when I watched this dev video, as well as when I watched the trailer. It just brought up feelings of happiness. Just watching it made me smile, and that right there is key to making this work. Everything I've seen about this game has brought a smile to my face.

Totally agree with you Randy, its was an overall feel happy intro to the making of Planet Coaster!

Beautiful animations and art direction.
