PLANCO - Isn’t it boring?
- Thread starter mrtiger
- Start date
Thanks, MrTiger, for such a detailed and passionate request! It’s amazing to hear that languages have helped you see everyday life in such a different way and it’s clear that you have a vision for something that you feel strongly about.
At this moment in time, we’re very happy with Planco and its evolution in-house at Frontier. Planco started out as a practical solution to an interesting challenge as we developed Planet Coaster, but we’ve embraced it for what it is and we’re very proud of the framework that we have in place.
English grammar was chosen primarily for accessibility and that is a core foundation that we wish to retain. It is important that there is a transferable understanding for the language’s ruleset so that we can make Planco accessible for the developers, the voice actors, and the community. The language’s character is purposefully created to be light and buoyant to complement the visual aesthetics of the Planet Coaster.
Seeing people in the Planet Coaster community able to pick up the language and immediately piece words together is a beautiful thing for us; we wouldn’t want to lose that by intimidating them!
We value your feedback, thank you for reaching out with such ambition. We hope you all continue to enjoy the ride.

I can think of many people that would disagree with this. [big grin] I think tv/movies vs books is a comparison that divides most people. [haha]
I did not mean to say that TV is superior, just easier to pick up and listen to. I suppose the same can be said for audio books
I know books can contain a lot more information, but most people consume TV at a faster rate. Personally, I should read more [cool]

I don’t mind the grammar side now as I see it has its benefits but I think the phonology is tbh a mess, like English. I’d love to be able to help fix it.
In that case maybe you should start by fixing English [big grin]
Through this entire conversation I kept wondering exactly what is stopping mrtiger from on his own "de-boring" Planco to his hearts content?
He could refer to it as "High Planco" to differentiate it from the "Common Planco" in the game.
Doesn't mean that "High Planco" will used in the game or the official dictionary, as that's something the game developer probably isn't going to spend a lot more time nor effort on - if any - but mrtiger seems like he'd enjoy the challenge, and if anyone else is interested in this sort of thing I'm sure his efforts would be appreciated. As long as he's not expecting Frontier to spend resources to 'fix' what they have now I doubt they'll care if he spends his time working on his own vision of what it should be. Otherwise the vast majority of people aren't going to care one way or another.

One step ahead of you there.
I’ve talked about English’s phonological mess in many linguistic forums.
That is a good point... I could see it as a community project for him and anyone else who is interested... Make a new language and then get some buddies to record audio of it.... We can import our own custom audio after all and it probably wouldn't be too hard for him to distribute said recordings to those interested in using them...
Heck I could see this turning into a mod for the game if his language and audio recordings prove to be well received by the community...
I learned a new word! never knew phones could be considered logical [haha] I mean... I get how its used in music, but I am interested to learn more about speech
I'm sorry if this is going off-topic but, would you mind sending me some links to your favorite forum please?People have already tried this (well a little bit, its difficult) but I'm totally down to help!
Lets see if mrtiger can gather more troops up so we can rally through this obstacle [up]

In this case it would probably be a matter of finding where all the audio files for the guests are kept and then swapping them out for the new language... (Much simpler for the placable SFX since we can already import custom audio files once they exist.)
