Planet Coaster economy system... missed?

Hello everyone,


I've just seen a video preview of the Alpha version and I didn't see the budget you have to build the park.


In RCT you had an economy system that allow you to win money to build new coasters and also to invest in the development of new features, shops and decorations.


In the video it seems that you are decorating and building the park without money... all decorations are for free. It looks unrealistic, doesn't it?


You can see the video in the Facebook FanPage: https://www.facebook.com/PlanetCoasterESPANA/


Does anyone know something about that?

Thank you,
CARTIL

The alpha is starting with 'sandbox' mode only. This allows you full access to rides, scenery, etc. This means we can fully test the park creation systems without having to work to get access to content.

Park management will come later in the alpha/beta process.

Im really surprised that many people are confussing something not being in the 1st alpha, with it not planned or being in the final release at all.

A ver, como veo que eres de España, de tu a tu. Un alpha es algo super básico en diseño de videojuegos, que muestra tan solo cosas realmente básicas del juego que estas produciendo, y en muchos casos, hay varias alphas, cada una conteniendo cosas diferentes, para podeer testear cada cosa sin muchas complicaciones.
Frontier ya ha explicado que el enfasis de esta alpha es precisamente montar edificios y caminos, porque quieren que lo testeemos para dar nuetra opinion sobre ESAS cosas.
Luego iran implementados más partes del juego a las siguientes alphas, y si, entre ellas como no, empezará a aparecer el modo management dodne se ganará y gastará dinero. Que por cierto, ya han dichio, que la parte fuerte de management se implementará en la beta, y no en las alphas. La beta es un prducto más finalizado, pero aun así suele tener basantes bugs que se van quitando durante los tests de beta.
En resumen, hay habrá management en el juego.

Espero que esto hay podido responder a tu pregunta.

One thing I wonder if there are going to be more phases of the alpha than has been announced so far, as it does not seem to list park/economy simulation and management under any of them.

They said several times that there will be an economic system. they said alot about how we will be able to increase sells by placing signs. How customer satifaction has an influence on the success of the park. They showed some staff-caracters, we'll surely have to manage. Even the pirate band animatronic has a coin slot. They also said how everything will be working together if you manage it well. Read the subtext... There are a lot of ideas about earning monex as a parkmanager but it's not the time to work on that by now.

And guys, it's still an early alpha! Sure we'll still missing a lot but they are working on one thing after the other... Not like others who try to do all at once and get nothing done in the end. First they care about the creative tools and basic graphic things (water, maybe weather), this things are the most tricky (every pc is different and renders the game differently---> lots of bugs ---> long testing time). The economic system is easy to implement when everything else is running well - the challenge there will be the user interface, another thing they'll optimize and extande in the end...

So be a little patient. This is just one piece of a hopefully big cake...[heart][heart][heart]

It's an early alpha, features and mechanics will be implemented slowly and one by one and then tweaked. Don't set your mind on what you see now, it'll all become much better!

I am loving the Alpha like everyone else, Frontier are doing an amazing job. There will be amazing things to come if this Alpha is anything to go by. The only thing that worries me is if my 'barely above minimum' rig will keep up with it. I have an i52400@3.1Ghz with 8gb ram and a 2mb GTX750 ti graphics card. I can get 20-40 FPS on the Kraken park with a half dozen extra rides and extra scenery. Got the guests up to 1800 and I amhovering at 20-25FPS in the busiest park sections on high settings.......playable for me but I worry what the future will demand. Time to save up for an upgrade I think!
