recently Johnny and I traveled to Los
Angeles to play Jurassic world evolution
a game that's being made by frontier
developments just on the road from us in
Cambridge in the UK if you want to know
why we went all the way across the pond
you can click on the video link on
screen no but if you want to see me
playing the first 40 minutes or so of
the game with the help of frontiers head
of animation Nick Rogers stick around
because we're playing the game in quite
a noisy venue the audio is a little bit
audit points but hopefully you'll still
hear all of Nick's awesome anecdotes
from making the game as well as his top
tips for playing enjoy right we are all
right launch straight in I love I don't
know what it is I love this opening
screen like it's just so am i jumping
straight into nice you you worked on
animation like so what we they like they
just have a real weight to them like
yeah it makes it fun to experience with
each animation yes
yes that's I mean it must be as an
animator it must be like dream job all
right so I haven't been listening to the
basics he's a money man right he's the
money man
yeah so you don't even
let me need to connect the path right
yep that's right so every building yep
basically it now comes the real test I
can get straight get one by clicking on
the lab and then selecting an extra
member
chatting to you the animation Department
they actually showed us like the actual
YouTube videos it's an examination it's
just so some of the inspirations you
imagine like thinking outside the box
like that especially with things where
there is no real you know real real life
comparison it lets you get all these
that like like twitches and my god
one of their contracts it'll help you
develop your facility in three different
divisions so this kind of really
importantly the way that you're going to
go through the narrative so you've got
to do she's all about making almost pure
dinosaur in a you've got Isaac and his
main thing is just getting tourists
since the park and George man that he
just wants to be very dangerous
dinosaurs cuz he wants to see how far
they push their security he just wanted
snow he wants to make my most dangerous
thing said George or what do you think
between nine and
entertainment what do you think III
really excuse yeah that's pretty pretty
crucial anyway absolutely that's how you
bring what we want to keep our animals
under control while simultaneously
encouraging instinctive behaviors
because these animals have potential as
combatants look is to have these animals
running free and loose in the park but
we can't exploit them globally without
taking some chances you to send dig
teams around the world in search of new
Dino fossils quote-unquote sing act each
division is vying for your attention
even when nothing is really lovely when
the weather kicks in unless you listen
real closely so what I meant to say is
that completing missions raises your
[Laughter]
[Music]
yeah and that sickness will spread and
you can end up with an epidemic if
you're not careful so you need to make
sure you get out there and create your
sicknesses as soon as possible and you
gotta make sure that you research the
right medication sickness yeah you know
populations and what kind of like what
kind of things can cause disease like I
guess it's dead dinosaurs it's a bit
especially if they're not be in that
world of time sometimes they just get
sick but no full-grown but the main
thing is how you manage know you know
you can contain it making sure you
address it but so would wants me to get
a bigger sentence or a few days with
fossil scent this right here should
already have a bit of
[Music]
so you get different policies apostles
[Music]
you can wait for it yes but feel free to
a little bit of building a place else be
dismissed with - what do you reckon we
should oh yeah when you place the bee
disease it's because a later on if you
have human gathers things it's quite
useful to say like the one here when
people see a dinosaur when they're
feeding what else should we go oh oh you
booked it yet miss Bishop coming back so
you seem to have some impossible
possible
I love that they effort like to actually
hey hey oh yeah sometimes you just get
some since well was she so like was they
just pocket it and just yeah exactly
they just they just found it and if you
ever gets 100% don't need a poor you
think yourself okay yeah
I'm sure it happens i management it's
not always my house they yeah every
every sink Belding has its own power
drains gotta make sure you can operate
the power station yes this point what
the research oh yeah when you get there
not the first thing I think of when I
thought or I think of a really scary
powerful dinosaur but I guess you might
have Isis your next mission yes is to
release it and you can modify their
genomes yes sir yes sir if you want to
walk to the base stats of the dinosaur
you
what's up the absolutely beautiful it's
always wrong
and then it can make them I guess last
longer or yeah what's prestige is that
how much people enjoy yeah that's it
it's gonna be a generate yeah well you
can see it gets all right he's a quite
quickly though well so yeah absolutely
jump ahead and you've got a research
that's pretty important so if everything
goes horribly wrong this want to keep
them safe as well as the entire series
no one heart like I think only one
person weren't actually kind looks like
he's got a big blond mustache
so what see that's a really sort of
originals some watch Beatle some of my
fish and some of them are both some of
them graze on all fours but then did you
go to like the natural I tend to go
there pretty regularly anyway quite
lucky being in Cambridge actually we've
got we've got Santa museum actually in
in our city yeah so you know
check it out research
okay Oh No
[Music]
building on a building and I'm sorry
t-shirt sorry it doesn't be service any
building oh right sorry fan yes I think
that's an asset containment unit there
we go yeah
[Music]
yes oh yeah miss people between science
partner that's because they get you got
okay they've got a couple of days was to
the penthouse oh yeah so you can build
some stuff specify any guests they're
gonna get hungry thirsty what do you
think I think they propose something to
eat so it's possible they always join to
the table just they do they snapped
I prefer they didn't in there as well
yes we are like what would you rather
she's loving the it's not so much she's
gonna get on the train yes okay we have
our runner time to tag them I'm back
so you can either be su helicopter and
you can either sit at the task and let
Dai she said or you can see us with you
- but if we are I think that wants us to
travel
Oh
[Music]
you can still move one really lovely
thing we've got here is there's a physic
system on the dinosaurs so the more
tranquilize they get the motor responses
on all their things so they're running
they'll get floppier and floppier and
floppier and then eventually they'll
just go down it is very funny when they
start running when they're actually you
know what while while it's I'm gonna go
started the task of its it's a trunk the
other one oh yeah that's a good idea
so you can see I see you helicopter oh
no these are that's your transport team
so use that they're the guys that pick
up with paper don't do it because they
can only do one thing at a time right
you can you can sign it you can sign it
now they say maybe tasks you can just
give another task
alright guys I really love this on the
right build system is the pixel oh it's
so adorable is really cute when they
find any place where you want them
Hagen's like this giant running away
you'll see the focus has been here when
you wake them if they wake up I can't
but we're really happy because we we
designed that I'm supposed to be
transported in this way we thought this
is probably the safest way to do it the
new drastic
well trailer came out yeah we had dozens
of other ways that we were gonna do our
best
what like putting them on the back of a
truck so putting me in a huge box
putting in a truck and they were just
like yeah we went with and like yeah you
would have deprived the world of that
point down they wake up I thought the
thing with George is possible yeah right
spin like what are you doing
take one day off please
your mission complete so you so you've
just earned yourself some reputation
[Music]
[Laughter]
well I mean so yeah Oh whole little game
there so if you pop the operation a
power substation okay
just click the point wake up go to okay
quick again is 300 oh yeah cuz I've got
little part someone so you guys did Chu
I was within the big marker it could be
that we don't have a powerful enough
power station so what you can do is if
you pick a building that we're not using
yeah what you would do if you're playing
a longer game is you research and
operations but it means that in the
event of emergency you can just turn off
or not fight or things just like you
don't really need to get a burger okay
so now you've got your I think it's in
the shadow if you click on the building
itself you'll be able to click on range
of things yeah oh there we go again
drive yourself so the Rangers job is to
medicate the dinosaurs when they're sick
it's the take place boss of the
resources plan and we say to do to
prepares as well start to break know
your finder
[Music]
yeah if the music plays in your head
yeah it's like this is nice because it's
really cool to see everything that
you've done on the top done we like
actually
yes yeah particular when you get a
really big dinosaurs it's lovely to be
able to go right up and see if you see
that because you found something else
curious emissions image the makeup of
the crowd
[Music]
just become big a backpack or we gonna
we can go in the hello yes then let's go
in there we run the park
yes forever
ok the door was really closed behind us
if they do know well I do
34 I say and you can team in you get a
bit of money for this as well so there's
this little it's a little game with it
okay oh she's doing that halfling thing
[Laughter]
[Music]
yeah they do and you can still gloss the
horn at them as well which she was
scared of away but sometimes the big
ones they're not that I don't see the
more dinosaur see on screen and so she
living probably notice that these
dinosaurs
if you check their stats a bit lonely
because the her people they have a need
to be around other ones oh and if you
come out the deep mode the all-terrain
vehicle yeah I can see yeah there's a
social ie is really really bad so if it
gets too bad I'll just start head buster
defenses I'm getting really upset and if
you came all the dinosaurs as well
individual and the building you can't ya
see
Ariane dedicated building
all right
so you can request more contrast as well
so if you have a bit of downtime you can
pop over to the control room and in this
first screen you can go to the contrast
on the right
oh and you can say you know the question
you confer and this will give you like a
small mission just to kind of how can be
going along and say
[Music]
that's it so it's going to give you one
just to increase your alien faces you
see that in it along the team game it'll
be all okay building up your faxes that
screen you see you've got two main
aspects are like to make sure your
dinosaurs are in a good state of repair
kind of the two two parts of the game
see for no shopping coverage and people
can't see your dices oh you might wait
for the other side at the home fish run
ahead spot yeah and what you can do then
is he doesn't want that got it when it's
built it will have like a code of words
you show you like where the guests can
see
oh good and then yeah I usually run at
any orientations yeah she got you've got
a kind of balance need between people
being able to see the dance does
everybody in here and they want to be
surprised as well as they know me like a
bit of Boris and quite happy
[Music]
and that's gonna be us gonna bring
people
let's see this already bring up here oh
yeah you can see that big kind of
influence there that's where they see so
as long as that's happening within that
area people are gonna be very pleased to
see you already and you can put down
some shots for there yes yes all the
traffic is you can manage your power
can you if you want to get right down
into the price of the burgers seriously
amount of stuff ahead yeah yeah you can
take on any shopping you can manage for
parents make sure those there
[Music]
and that snaps on to the park yes you
just operate I'm sorry
no part think that one's gonna be okay
this is close enough to be one else's
other substation 1.3 I mean yeah you've
got more fossils to get on the go
[Music]
I think it was to make one of these yes
please
yeah I think that's gonna get you know
yeah yes yes oh yeah wait I mean you can
he can release him in with you hopefully
it's not as when you build your fence
that just make sure you leave plenty of
space with the Hammond creation that's
downside
sometimes you can't be with that person
then built a fence but it's it's really
up to you okay okay start here yep still
friends I love that it can curve as well
sabia the steel fence is the anyone
you've overcome anybody should hold
anything
[Music]
there is a yeah okay sure it's not
[Music]
that's quite right so and you want to
make sure that the forested area is
facing into the enclosure because
otherwise you guys are out that might
need spirit freeze
yes yes you places that gift shop
so that would be the small part you're
just gonna want to make that up to the
existing final it's just yeah every day
sure it's not pretty bitch it's oh and
that will need a pop as well my stop
means we should have princess
so that automatically will it's only
since that it all goes into the same
right which you can check with the back
here as well see oh yeah we've got all
manner of XK you own stuff that shows
you how much power you using where you
know where you're where you put break so
that's easy to pop and it's about
substation
[Music]
that's it and then you make sure that
the pylons then link up - yeah right
it's this - that one - substation and
then mr. orchestrated power station and
now when that substation finishes
building should have more juice how I
think really sir oh yeah oh yeah you've
researched a sponsor like an owl
[Music]
oh no oh no you we have any more
possible suppose that below I think it
may deplete they do didn't wait yeah so
if you go there too many times he'll
eventually dig up I say yeah I thought
throughout Cerreta source oh you got
some over there as well and yeah I don't
think
[Music]
boring herbivores but we still need to
finish that encourage this let's make
this possible
yeah
beat it down oh yeah I'm gonna have to
do the life goat oh yes
enjoy okay
oh yeah yeah they have a social media
speaks up now so that's good yes
[Music]
that's that's the easiest way to find
this nice good if you click on any I
really like that yellow line it can show
you where any breaks are in your power
grid this is just a nice weight if you
click on something it's gonna take you
straight to that okay so we've got this
little thing that looks like that it's
easy if they've something wrong things
to the bushes yeah I just need to find
them now
oh yeah and you've got filters at the
top it's it that thing on the left-hand
side and I hope you actually find it the
justices
hey you need both with me you know let's
get that let's get this recipe yeah we
are
[Music]
