Trading Statement and Roadmap Update Trading Statement and Roadmap Update Released : 15 November 2019 07:00 RNS Number : 4966T Frontier Developments PLC 15 November 2019 15 November 2019 Frontier Developments plc Trading statement and roadmap update Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV, 'Frontier', the 'Group' or the 'Company'), a leading developer and publisher of videogames based in Cambridge, UK, provides an update on current year trading and Frontier's future roadmap. Game Franchises Frontier has a proven track record of launching multiple genre‐leading game franchises with a strong post‐launch nurturing strategy, supporting and expanding on the initial releases to deliver multi‐year revenues. Frontier has launched and nurtured four successful titles to date since transitioning to self‐publishing in 2013‐2014; Elite Dangerous (December 2014), Planet Coaster (November 2016), Jurassic World Evolution (June 2018) and Planet Zoo (November 2019). Planet Zoo was released as planned on PC on 5 November 2019 following a highly successful pre‐launch marketing strategy. The base game and the deluxe product achieved the global number one and number two bestseller spots on Steam both prior to, and after, release at 12 noon GMT on 5 November 2019. Planet Zoo achieved a day one PC launch record for Frontier, having sold more PC units by the end of day one, including pre‐order sales, than any of Frontier's previous PC launches. Planet Zoo is the ultimate zoo sim where players can let their imagination run wild, with authentic living animals who think, feel and explore the world around them. Planet Zoo allows players to experience a globe‐ trotting campaign, create unique habitats and vast landscapes, make big decisions and meaningful choices, and nurture their animals as they construct and manage a truly modern zoo where animal welfare and conservation comes first. On 14 November at XO19 in London, Microsoft's annual global celebration of all things Xbox, Frontier made exciting announcements concerning both Planet Coaster and Jurassic World Evolution. Frontier is delighted to reveal that Planet Coaster, the ultimate coaster park simulation game, will come to consoles in Summer 2020. Following great success on PC, Planet Coaster will join the Xbox One all‐in‐one games and entertainment system and PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system for fans and newcomers alike. Planet Coaster: Console Edition will bring all of the depth, strategy and customisation found in the beloved PC game, allowing new players the chance to dream big and build bigger on their journey to simulation stardom while benefiting from the ongoing development since its original launch. For Jurassic World Evolution, Frontier is pleased to announce Jurassic World Evolution: Return to Jurassic Park, a premium DLC pack in partnership with Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, and created in collaboration with Universal Games and Digital Platforms. Jurassic World Evolution: Return to Jurassic Park takes place following the events of Jurassic Park, set in 1993, and features park designs, dinosaurs and characters from the original film. In the game, players will be able to go back to Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna to rebuild beloved locations on the islands. With seven new story missions featuring characters voiced by the original cast, including Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), players will be challenged to repair and restore the destroyed park and open its iconic gates to the public. The pack will be available on PC, the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and the Xbox One all‐in‐one games and entertainment system from Microsoft on 10 December 2019. The future for Elite Dangerous is also exciting. Frontier is developing a major new paid‐for release for the iconic space simulation which will dramatically expand gameplay and mark the beginning of a new era for Elite Dangerous. This will be characterised by significant new features to appeal to existing commanders, whilst being specifically designed to be a compelling, attractive and welcoming entry point for new players. Targeted for launch at the end of 2020, this major new release on multiple platforms will fall into financial year 2021 (the 12 months ending 31 May 2021). Frontier is also targeting a number of other very significant future opportunities. Two major new releases from internal development teams are currently planned for financial year 2022 (the 12 months ending 31 May 2022), one of which will benefit from a major global IP licence, as announced in March 2019, and will be released on multiple platforms. Current trading and outlook Taking into account the strong launch sales and the anticipated performance of Planet Zoo, together with the ongoing contributions from Elite Dangerous, Planet Coaster, and Jurassic World Evolution and all support and expansions, the Board continue to be comfortable with the current range of analyst revenue projections of £65 million to £73 million for the current financial year 2020 (the 12 months to 31 May 2020). David Braben, Chief Executive, said: "The reception to Planet Zoo has been very positive, which is a source of particular pride given our legacy in the genre, and I look forward to seeing more of our players' creations. At the same time, I am delighted with the successful nurturing of our established titles, with some truly exciting developments coming to Elite Dangerous, Planet Coaster and Jurassic World Evolution." "We continue to target very significant new opportunities. I am particularly excited that we will be building on the success of Elite Dangerous with a major new release in financial year 2021 and will follow this with two major releases in financial year 2022, one of which will be our next game based on a major global IP licence."

  • Design of Roller Coasters
    Aalto University School of Engineering Master’s Programme in Building Technology Design of Roller Coasters Master’s Thesis 24.7.2018 Antti Väisänen Aalto University, P.O. BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of master's thesis Author Antti Väisänen Title of thesis Design of Roller Coasters Master programme Building Technology Code ENG27 Thesis supervisor Vishal Singh Thesis advisor Anssi Tamminen Date 24/07/2018 Number of pages 75 Language English Abstract This thesis combines several years of work experience in amusement industry and a litera- ture review to present general guidelines and principles of what is included in the design and engineering of roller coasters and other guest functions attached to them. Roller coasters are iconic structures that provide safe thrills for riders. Safety is achieved using multiple safety mechanisms: for example, bogies have multiple wheels that hold trains on track, a block system prevents trains from colliding and riders are held in place with safety restraints. Regular maintenance checks are also performed to prevent accidents caused by failed parts. Roller coasters are designed using a heartline spline and calculating accelerations in all possible scenarios to prevent rollbacks and too high values of accelerations, which could cause damage to riders’ bodies. A reach envelope is applied to the spline to prevent riders from hitting nearby objects. The speed and curvature of the track combined create acceler- ations that need to be countered with adequate track and support structures. A track cross- section usually consists of rails, cross-ties and a spine, while support structures can vary depending on height and loads.

  • My Two Cents on Tencent Marknaden Tencent Verkar På Främst Två Marknader
    My two cents on Tencent Marknaden Tencent verkar på främst två marknader. Gaming/Spel och Sociala nätverk. 2018 växte totala spelmarknaden med 13.3% YoY. Mobilspel växte med 25.5% och utgör idag 51% av intäkterna. Detta förväntas bara bli större. Marknaden väntas växa med 11% i snitt från 2012 till 2021. Digital marknadsföring utgör 45.9% av totala marknadsföringen. Totala marknadsföringsmarknaden växer med ungefär 3-4% per år. Digital marknadsföring växer självfallet snabbare och väntas växa med cirka 17.6% under 2019. I Kina utgjorde digital marknadsföring 65.3% av TAM (Total Adressable Market). Digital marknadsföring väntas växa med 11.08% CAGR mellan 2018 och 2022. Bolaget Tencent är det största bolaget i den globala spelindustrin sett till storlek och genererar 70% mer intäkter än den näst största spelaren. 2018 gick de om FB och tog tronen som världens största “social media”-bolag med ett börsvärde på 580 BUSD. Numera har Facebook återtagit tronen. Tencent sitter på en marknadsförings guldgruva. Bara cirka 20% av de totala intäkterna kommer från online marknadsföring. Jämför detta med Facebook som får 98% av intäkterna från online marknadsföring. Detta har att göra med att Tencent inte vill förstöra användarupplevelsen och självfallet för att de har så mycket intäkter från andra håll. De är inte ett “renodlat social media bolag”. Tencent bildades 1998 av Pony Ma och fyra vänner. Deras första produkt OICQ, som var ett gratis PC instant message program som senare döptes om till QQ, lanserades 1999. De lyckades få ihop en miljon användare första året men lyckades aldrig gå med vinst. 2001 lanserade de istället MobileQQ som då är en meddelandeplattform för mobiltelefonen.
