Hey everyone,

Here's a nice video for you all about the making of Planet Coaster. The game was nominated for a BAFTA.

Find out why creators Jonny Watts and John Laws came together to create Planet Coaster and how the game’s story evolved from one character’s love of theme parks.

Enjoy!

The art style is certainly comparable to Pixar quality! Great job, everyone at Frontier!

The comparison with LEGO is also on point. I personally like to compare Planet Coaster with LEGO as well.
And I agree with Bo on what Jonny and John say about the community: wow! <3

The video definitely shows that Frontier has lots of passion for simulation games such as Planet Coaster.

I still miss the themepark vision a bit in the latest updates, but this looks promising to get back to it, maybe fix some stuff and make the team even more proud since they are definitely still going for Planet Coaster as it seems in the video. Now this video has give me a little hope on the future of Planet Coaster.

Very interesting video. It's great to see with how much enthusiasm and creativity Planet Coaster has come up. For the future I wish the PlanCo team of Frontier all the best, and for us - the community - lots of further great updates and DLCs that makes PlanCo more and more perfect ;)

I watched the video and I am happy I did so because I got back to the alpha era feels, with the coasterhead club news. I saw some bits that I haven't seen before and I got excited about it. It was amazing to see. The detail of work put in rides for example. I hope people watch this video and will understand why it takes time to make a new flatride for example.

I for one HOPE to see more stuff to PlanCo and not "just" DLC packs, so to say. Please say that you are doing it!

Good video.

They really did nail the art and personality of the game. I must admit, sometimes I mistake screenshots from PC for real world photos. And the peeps are just... charming.

Good luck with the nomination. [up]

Oh yeah! I saw the concept art and sketches of Planet Coaster as well. I love videos like this that show the story and making of things like Planet Coaster. It's super interesting to learn, see and hear all about what goes into making this game <3

Planet Coaster the only game that keeps me wanting more.
Good luck with the nomination, We are all so proud of you. [up]
Planet coaster is already a winner, but a Bafta would look great on any desk. [big grin]

Great video, instantly makes me want to play again. And, wow, I see a lot of my stuff in there, proud to be able to contribute something to the best game ever and put all of the passion into it like the devs have done.

A coolest aspect regarding Planet Coaster is that its clients look and feel relatively invigorated. In the course of recent years, Frontier has gained a wide margin of ground in the field of sim gaming, prove by the introduction of its new form your-own-amusement stop diversion Planet Coaster.

I’m hoping we get a nice beefy expansion this summer with 4 new coasters, 4 new flat rides, and 2 new tracked rides and new scenery. Tracked rides I’m hoping for are large flume (different from the Cascade) and skyway transport ride, flats grand carousel, flying eagles, Gravitron and round up. Someone made a fake larger carousel on the workshop in two parts. I don’t even care if we have to pay for it at this point, I just want to see more content made for Planet Coaster. Would it also be possible to make new biomes for future updates that can be larger than current ones and even a beach/ocean biome? More fonts for the type on signs?

Great to see that you want more content for Planet Coaster. However, this thread is about the “Making of” video, not for suggestions. Please post those in the corresponding forum. Thanks!
