==History==
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.
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 December 16th, 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 and 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 very start of 2013. In 2013, Frontier released Xbox One/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 is currently developing ''Planet Coaster'', a construction and management simulation video game similar to the ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' franchise. The game is set to be the second major self-published franchises from Frontier along with the ''Elite'' series.
