Thank you for taking time to ask around and answer. Thank you Zac, Matt and then James. How fun! Maybe we will be able to learn Planco just like some nerds learn Klingon!

Awesome! I just love those boys and girls working at Frontier. They're doing a fantastic job!

It would be really cool to learn Planco. Nice idea [yesnod]

Clearly yes.

If it was possible, in case someone has a little free time, to have a thread about this, with the basics of the language.
That would be just awesome ! [big grin]

I already imagine choose the language in the settings menu of the game, just like Quenya and Klingon in Minecraft [haha][haha][haha]
 
Hopefully the guys for creating themes and buildings will watch the Efteling videos too. Should give them a lot of inspirations (escecially 1001 Nights - Arabia Theming)

Indeed!!

First and foremost i hope the Audio guys will see and and realize even more how important custom music is ;)
But some arabian theming would be awesome too!!

(On a sidenote, i wonder when we will have UGC how many Efteling stuff will be created)
 
I missed this one on may 12th, but finally got to read the sound Q&A today. [happy]
Thank you for all interesting reading about your awesome work. I had no idea you using such advance tech nowadays in the game for sound. That make Planet Coaster feeling even more next gen!
I really hope we will get custom music some day. Thanks for the deep feedback about the puzzling around it!
And how fun to be able to learn some few words in the language of Planet coaster Planco!

[heart]

My question is, Will there be small details like trees blowing in the wind or guests footsteps? As an audio enthusiast, I cant get enough of the sounds of Elite Dangerous! Keep up the unbelievably amazing work guys!
 
Hello Rocket!

Thanks for your question!

We certainly spend time at other theme parks and not only that; we hired a really famous game audio recordist called Watson Wu who went to a theme park in the Usa for us and recorded loads of rides there. The park was closed for two days and he's had a blast riding the different coasters and flat-rides. One launch coaster was so intense it knocked one of his recorders right out! This has given us pristine recordings without any people screaming and it's part of why the coasters sound so amazing.

At the same time, we have been inventive where we could. One day I was riding my bicycle to work (Dutch as I am) and rolled over a drain cover. That sounded exactly like a wheel going over a flange which we'd been trying to record from trains and other sources, and never got quite right.

So after that discovery, we went to our parking lot and spend a few hours riding the bicycle around; to great amusement of the rest of the team looking at us from their windows : )

Thanks for answering my question :)

That sounds amazing! For any sound engineer, is a pleasure to work with all the recordings separately. Now I understand how it sounds so good. You're incredible!

I laughed a lot with the bicycle story; this kind of things bring to this game a special romantic feeling. It looks like you're enjoying a lot doing your work. This is so important because you transmits directly to the game.

Yeah we really need custom music. You could never get bored with the game if you can keep changing and updating the music.
What if I want to download circus music from Itunes and put it on the carousel since I'm bored of the carousels generic theme?

Or what if I want to put a hit song on a certain ride during the nights and then change it to generic supplied theme during the days.

I can go on and on.... but creative minds want to be able to completely control the sound, not be limited.... because that will be cool at first, but the limited supplied music will get very old very quick.... especially for people who will be playing this for hours and hours............

Not having custom music will also limit people from implementing ideas for themes that will go with a certain song. Like someone mentioned earlier "It's a Small World" theme. That's only 1 example of thousands of songs that could inspire rides that otherwise would never be built in PC.


But but... If i am the one who is creating the ride and deciding the theme, there is no way Frontier can supply me a fitting theme for everything i can create. As the possibilities i can create are endless. From Jurassic to Fantasy to Greek to Alpine to testtrack's... there is no way they can supply me all needed themes. 9Once again no bash on Frontier, as they deliver 100% quality, but can't deliver 100% Quantity as that's just impossible)

So once again, i really hope they find a way to make custom music possible. On a positive note, Frontier does know what we want and does an amazing job so far so im pretty confident it will turn out to be okay.

Will there be custom music?

If only you would read the same actuall thread you are replying in [tongue]

Short Answer : Maybe
Official Answer : No
Long Answer : Everyone want's it, the dev's want it. Unfortunatly the technology they use right now doesn't allow it. They are looking for way's to make it work. So it's a "No" for now, but hopefully a "Yes" for release or later.
 
I was wondering if you are going to release this game on steam? Also if you do release it on steam, will there be workshop support, or could you somehow integrate park and ride shareing.

They might be putting it on steam in the future. And if they did, I would think they would have workshop support for sure [happy]
 
If custom music is greenlit. How feasible is it to have on-boardmusic that syncs up with the ride. (Ex: Space Mountain Mission 2 @ Disneyland Paris, X2 @ Magic Mountain and California Screamin' @ California Adventure)

would be awesome to have!!

In one of the livestreams it was even said the feature was under consideration :)
But in my opinion that only makes sense once we have Custom Music indeed. (Along with some loudspeakers as well)
