If you are a tycoon game enthusiast, prepare yourself for an epic economics and trade game set in an enthralling period in American history. Frontier takes you on an in-depth journey back in time to the Wild West, and the opportunity to choose between a life of dignified trade and nobility, or a life of thrills, spills and petty crime! This is an exhaustive, RPG / tycoon adventure game for high school students and grownups where you have to buy, sell, trade, fight, recruit, and survive as you travel around America in the 'good ol’ days'.

The ‘Frontier’ is a term used to describe an expanding area in North America during a period in time between the early 17th century and early 20th century which saw the migration westward of settlements of Europeans and their descendants. The ‘Wild West’ is probably a more commonly used term today to describe this blend of U.S. geography, history, folklore, and cultural change during those centuries. Far from being just a place where pistols were easily drawn at dusk or dawn, the Frontier was an environment of rapid population growth and economic development, and was a catalyst for the formation of the United States. However, that’s enough of a history lesson for today! Let’s get stuck into the real action and function of the game!

Frontier is essentially a very good business management-style strategy game with some turn-based fighting thrown into the mix! You have to buy and sell goods, food, weapons, vehicles, and more, as you travel from town to town trying to become as successful and prosperous as possible. While you can opt to remain neutral, you can also choose to become a good guy (the Enforcer to finally rid the lands of roaming outlaws), or one of the naughty bad guys (the Buccaneers) along the way. Smart decision making skills, strategic planning and multi-tasking abilities, as well as economic nous are all important attributes to have if you want to survive in this tough landscape, and increase your wealth (money). The choice is yours Partner – remain a small fish in a one horse town, or travel the length and breadth of the nation in search of the American Dream! Either way, it sure is going to be a wild ride!

How to Play: At the beginning of the game, choose your name and appearance, and customize some initial attributes (you can add 6 ‘points’ to either your Trade, Travel, Defense, or Attack capabilities to begin with). You start off in the town of Boghorn, with 5000G (Gold) to your name. Click on the various different ‘tabs’ along the top of the game screen to learn about how & when to use them. The ‘Buy’ tab allows you to buy goods ranging from cloth and timber to iron and bronze. The ‘Sell’ tab is where you can sell goods to recover Gold. The ‘Arms’ and ‘Armor’ tabs are where you purchase your fighting equipment. The ‘Vessel’ tab is for purchasing transport such as horses, carriages etc. In the ‘Party’ tab, you can acquire foot soldiers and companions for your eventual travel. The ‘Tavern’ tab gives you information about the current town, and the ‘Guilds’ tab is where you sign up to become an Enforcer or a Buccaneer.

After you have explored these tabs and purchased some materials, click on the ‘Travel’ tab. This brings you to a large map with over 50 different destinations each offering a new financial opportunity. Click on a nearby castle icon (you can only travel to towns that are within walking distance) to travel to the next town. As your character walks along the route, you are faced with a number of scenarios. For example, a team of Enforcers might ask to search you. You have to choose whether to ‘Allow’ this, or ‘Attack’. You might come across an injured person. Here, you have to decide whether to ‘Rob’ or ‘Help’ the person. You will be confronted with a number of these situations during each trip between towns. How you act determines your overall reputation. Once you reach the next town, you are free to explore the various tabs as described above. Remember that the prices of goods and services are different in each town, so try to profit on your goods.

As you grow more prosperous and powerful, you are more likely to be challenged in turn-based fights while on the road. Whether you win or lose depends on the power of your attacks, the number of men in your party, the strength of the opposition etc. If you lose a fight (i.e. your ‘Energy Bar’ runs out, you have to return to the previous town.) Each town offers a range of different financial and trade opportunities, so try to make the most of each trip. If you sign up to become an Enforcer or a Buccaneer, those groups set you individual tasks which can yield good results. However, you are then more vulnerable to attack from the opposing group.

Frontier Developments plc is a British video game developer[3] based at the Cambridge Science Park in Cambridge, England.[4] Founded by David Braben in January 1994. It has produced several games in the Elite series, including 2014's Elite: Dangerous. A second studio, Frontier Developments Inc., was opened in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada in August 2012, headed by David Walsh as its president, and closed in January 2015. In 2013, the company reincorporated as a public limited company, and entered the stock market.

History[edit]

Frontier Developments' first game was the 1993 Amiga CD32 port of the largely successful Frontier: Elite II followed by Frontier: First Encounters, second sequel to the seminal 1984 game Elite by Acornsoft. The company describes the original Elite as a 'Game by Frontier', in its back catalogue during the company's 2013 sale of shares to the public, with David Braben owning all rights to the game assigned to the company in 2008.

Between 2005 and 2011, the company experienced a turmoil while developing its next generation title The Outsider. Its feature list was ambitious from its initial announcement, although little was seen of the game in public following this. The project was initially self-funded by the developer but failed to maintain publisher backing. When Codemasters withdrew from the deal the studio was also forced to make 17 staff members redundant.

Frontier Developments had been planning a new Elite sequel, under the working title Elite 4, since 1998. The company completed a successful Kickstarter campaign at the end of 2012, where the new sequel's name Elite: Dangerous was revealed. Early-access versions of the game have been playable by backers since December 2013. The full game was released to PC on 16 December 2014.

Frontier Developments has made many other games, including Dog's Life, Thrillville, and RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. The company also made games for the Wallace and Gromit franchise, and has released Wallace & Gromit in Project Zoo, and a tie-in game for Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. In 2008, Frontier released LostWinds, a launch title for Nintendo's WiiWare platform. It received critical acclaim, scoring 81% on Metacritic. It was followed up with a sequel in 2009, entitled LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias, which scored 86% on Metacritic. In 2010, Frontier developed Kinectimals for Microsoft's Kinect controller on the Xbox 360. In 2011 Kinect Disneyland Adventures and Kinectimals: Now With Bears were developed, along with ports of LostWinds for iOS and Kinectimals for iOS and Windows Phone. In 2012, Frontier released Coaster Crazy, and started to work on Elite: Dangerous Kickstarter, which successfully closed at the start of 2013. In 2013, Frontier released Xbox One and Xbox 360 exclusive Zoo Tycoon, published by Microsoft Studios, and launched backers alpha for Elite: Dangerous in December. In 2015 the company released Screamride, a theme park construction and management simulation game for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The company has recently released Planet Coaster, a construction and management simulation video game similar to the RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise. The game is the second major self-published franchises from Frontier along with the Elite series. Frontier announced that they will begin self-publishing all their future games, starting with Planet Coaster.[5]

On 3 January 2017 TMZ reported that the company sued Atari, Inc. for not paying the company enough for royalties for their game RollerCoaster Tycoon 3; Frontier reported that they only received $1.17 million when they needed $3.37 million. David Walsh confirmed the report in a GameSpot interview, stating that they had previously attempted to resolve the issue without legal action since April 2016.[6]

On 6 February 2017 Frontier announced that they had acquired licensing rights from an unnamed Hollywood movie studio to be used in their third self-published title, an 'enduring movie franchise of global renown'.[7] This was later announced to be Jurassic World Evolution, which released on 12 June 2018.[8]

On 26 July 2017 the company announced Frontier Expo 2017, a press and community event focusing on Elite: Dangerous, Planet Coaster, and Jurassic World Evolution. The event took place on 7 October 2017 at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London, UK.[9]

In July 2017, Tencent, a Chinese investment company bought a 9% share in the company.[10]
