Planet Coaster Day Two Discussion Thread

Soooo, now honestly, do you guys think that the POV cam will be improved by the release in 3 month? if its still going to be like this, i wont buy the game.. just look at nl2 in comparison, the coasters in PC are really smooth, so why is it so hard to fix the pov?
 
- Will there be multiple trains on coasters?
- Will this involve storage tracks for tains when not in use?

- Will we be able to have switchback queues that can be opened/closed (to extend the queue just like in real parks) if the line becomes full?
- Why haven't you shown us a log flume or river rapids ride yet.

"- Will there be multiple trains on coasters?" From what I have seen, yes.

"- Will this involve storage tracks for tains when not in use?" I believe so, maybe even in Alpha 3 if what some people have seen is true.

"- Will we be able to have switchback queues that can be opened/closed (to extend the queue just like in real parks) if the line becomes full?" This is probably not gonna happen, if Planet Coaster somehow get's awesome mods made by the community most likely yes.

"- Why haven't you shown us a log flume or river rapids ride yet." Alpha, good sir. We are in Alpha 2.3, a few days close to Alpha 3. But they are most likely early in development.

This answers your question.

The fans playing turned me off.
Think they have had some restrictions from the Frontier of what they CAN'T touch, and that's fine. But wouldn't it be better if the players had some clue to how to play the game and what is actually new in Alpha 3. The last guy today had just played Alpha 1. That gave me nothing. It doesn't have to be Silvarett building some awesome things but atleast be somewhat familiar with the game and what people might want to see.
Just disappointed with the fans playing part of these streams, that's all.
Plus, none of them have listened to the guy sitting there with them, forgot the name. That just became some real awkward moments. xD

Something's up with the shadows on the water

Just finished watching the community streams from today and noticed some really odd issues with either the reflections or the shadows on the water. Not sure if has anything to do with the time of day but the shadows appear to be some kind of opaque black that blocks out some effects and things.

Other than that the water looks pretty good to me.

Perhaps they are working off of an old alpha 3 build though and it will be fixed before release.
 
I didn't notice any mechanics. When will they be implemented into the game?

Will there be any flat rides that aren't already highly themed, that have collision turned off so that we can at least add scenery closer to the rides & make them a bit more unique from everyone else's. (I find it strange that Frontier love the artistry & uniqeness in people's buildings & coasters but when it comes to flat rides, it's like they don't want anyone to make them their own, which in the end makes everybody's look identical. I know we will be able to colour them, but I think we should be allowed a bit more freedom & creativity.)
 
I think frontier need to add more variation to the litter on the ground, cause they all seem to be just three pieces of rubbish in a circle and it looks weird when there is a lot of it on the one path.

Morning everyone,

Please make sure to post all your day 2 related questions in here (questions having to do with the MANAGE aspect of Planet Coaster). Everything you see in today's (day 3) livestream you can discuss in a new thread we will open soon :D
 
But they did not say what transport rides. For all we know the only one we might get is the railroad.

We do know that they want to have a monorail too. From long ago too.

"What kind of transport rides will there be at launch? Monorail, Train?"
Monorails and trains are a staple to any theme park, I think we might be revealing one of the transport rides really soon and it's a real beauty!

In that reference here is what was said:

Since they showed the Connie Express I wouldn't look for any others since he said ,"I think we might be revealing one of the transport rides really soon and it's a real beauty!"

The key word here is ONE!
 
Yes, that is why I posted it. The key word is "ONE OF", and it means that there will be more. Especially since the sentence starts with the word "Monorail".

Maybe already been asked - apologies if so.

What is the spec of the PC you are running the game on in your live stream demos?
