Geektown BTS Podcast 36: Rich Newbold, Game Director 'Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition' Interview

Hello and welcome to a new episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. This week we feature Rich Newbold, Game Director on Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition from Frontier Developments, which has recently been released on Nintendo Switch.

For those of you that haven't played 'Jurassic World Evolution', it is a building business management game which places you at the heart of the Jurassic franchise and lets you build your own Jurassic World! The game comes from Frontier Developments, who were also the people behind Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo and the RollerCoaster Tycoon games.

In the interview, Rich discusses the challenges of bringing a game like Jurassic World Evolution to the Switch, his favourite parts of the game, and what he might include if they were to make a Jurassic World Evolution 2. We also talk about working with the original cast of the movies who returned to voice their characters for the video game.
