planet coaster

One of the coolest things about Planet Coaster is that its customers look and feel almost alive. If you want to see how that was done, Gamasutra have an interview with Owen McCarthy, Principal Programmer at Frontier, who explains the making of the game’s believable crowds.

Anyone still doubting Planet Coaster’s almost limitless sandbox possibilities, look at this Tron ride and remember it was 100% made by a fan.

Someone made a coaster planet in Planet Coaster. “Wrapping itself around a sphere no larger than the average asteroid, Planet Coaster launches itself up to speeds surpassing 100 km/h,” writes creator Silvarret. Props to them for this truly inspired goof.

Planet Coaster, aka Rollercoaster Tycoon for the modern day, looks very promising. It’s out on PC on November 17.
