Great to have you with us, Kombat Wombat, we love the creepy creatures! How did you get started with Planet Coaster?
I have always had a love for theme park simulation games, dating back to the original Theme Park by Bullfrog and up through RCT 1 to 3. Since RCT 3 however there has been a lack in good games in this genre, and for a long time I had given up hope that such a game would ever see the light of day. When Planet Coaster was announced I knew after watching the first trailer that it was the game I had been looking for, so I bought it the first chance I got and have been playing it ever since.
What makes you and your creations stand out?
I would say variety; I always strive to make each of my creations unique and different from one another, and for each to offer a different experience.
What is your favourite feature in the game?
The terrain tool! This is hands down the best terrain editing I have ever seen in any simulation/construction game.
Tell us a little about your creative process!
I almost always listen to some sort of music while building, it keeps me going and keeps me inspired, if I'm not talking to people on discord that is. I often like to split my time between multiple projects, usually I work on one big project for about a month, while working on 1 or 2 smaller projects. The time it takes for me to make something often varies quite a lot; the other day I completed a coaster blueprint in a day, a new record for me, whereas the park I completed in March was something I had been working on since I bought the game back in November.
I rarely work nonstop on a project, I have learnt to take breaks when my inspiration wears out, where I either work on something else, play another game or go for a walk, letting me come back to the current project with new ideas and motivation.
What inspires you?
I draw most of my inspiration from music, games, and films, and of course things I see on the workshop.
What is your favourite creation/video you’ve ever created (so far)?
Elemental Fury, this is the single coaster I have spent most time building, and was also the project where I learned most about the game.
How do you feel about being part of the Planet Coaster community?
All in all I think it's an amazing community full of very talented people. I am often in awe of many of the creations I see on the workshop and the general creativity of the Planet Coaster community. Besides that, all the people are very friendly and always helpful; I honestly can't praise this community enough.
If you were to dress up as a Planet Coaster mascot, which one would it be?
Gulpee Rex.
Pass on the praise: which creator do YOU admire?
Xtraordinar!
Thank you Kombat Wombat for telling us about yourself! Next week we are talking to Tillietwos, the creator of many lovely fantastical buildings!
