So like ZT2 basically
Spring dlc Speculation 2023
- Thread starter Captain Callum
- Start date
Yes. I didn't think it was possible for PZ, but now that we have the bulldozer tool it's more likelySo like ZT2 basically
I'd love that idea. I have a hard time making my habitat look natural when it comes to flora. Unless they're deserts or Tunda, then it's supposed to be sparse! But I feel like no matter what I put in, it's going to be too limiting to traversable area, or just look completely unnaturally empty.
Flagship is just another word for the key art animals, which is a thing every pack has, so we can speculate about them just like we speculate about any other aspect of a pack. Don't be killjoys lol, if someone feels like it they could even speculate about what color coding the pack is gonna get.
For some reason using the term flagship/headliner is not liked (in general I never knew why they weren't liked). Anyways, here's a better term I thought of:
I might just go ahead and do that.
I'm noticing that the scenery packs tend to have the animal in front of a scenic shot of a zoo (makes sense, since it's scenery) and the animal packs have mostly had the animal in front of a more generic colored background, with some shadows of other things -animals or just general building scenery ( probably base game sets), all shadowy and what not.We don't have a "green" oriented pack yet, which would be great for a Rainforest. The sloth is just "hanging out" in the forefront and some background shadows that would definitely be 2 different monkeys of some kind.
Well, the wetlands pack is a seagreen color, but no green greens (KIRBY!)I might just go ahead and do that.

yeah we definitely "need" a solid regular green.
About that colour thing. I don't think anyone would have guessed grasslands would be pink.
Wdym mean no green theres SEA and SA packs
SEA is purple
Really I'm sure mines like lime green in my steam library and isn't twilight purple. But still we do have a green with south america pack.
Then we need another shade of green!!! All packs should be green!!!!!!!
All jokes aside, we have at this point I think three blue packs. So surely another green is warranted. Maybe khaki for a rainforest pack might seem a bit more standout?
To the "flagship" animal discussion - I dont think anyone really has a problem with people disscussing what animals will be on the cover, really. It just gets a bit annoying when people go hysterical and claim things like "but there are no "flagship" recognisible animals left for DLCs covers". That is simply not true. Any animal can be on cover, it just has to be different enough from the other covers so it doesnt get mixed up. Even a Tamandua could technically be on the cover for a rainforest pack (but my guess would be the Sloth). And who really cares, the key art is mostly a small icon in the Steam shop and that is it. It wont make people decide if they will buy the DLC or not, it just has to capture your attention, mostly a good composition and colours will do that, not the animal chosen.
Anyway, I am glad there are so many shades of colours, we sure wont run out of them for future DLCs.

I can understand that point of view in the “flagship animal “ discussion. You’re right Frontier can make any animal they want be the animal on the DLC image. I do think some animals may be more likely options than others, like the sloth or walrus, but that doesn’t mean they would have to be what Frontier chooses.To the "flagship" animal discussion - I dont think anyone really has a problem with people disscussing what animals will be on the cover, really.

I think the flagship animals is the one that is more recognizable to the general public (if not in species at least in general terms: bear, panther, horse, etc), and i think there are plenty of those left: sloth, walrus, monkey, small cats, ducks, swans, procupines, macaws, parrots and toucans, kiwi, eagles, rabbits, and so on.
That's generally the thought I've had as well, with the Sun Bear and to a lesser extent the Beaver being the exceptions.
I forgot about South America. Dang, how could I?
I don't think they were exceptions. The beaver is a very well known animal among the general public and the sun bear well is a bear and that is what people see in the cover art even if they don't know the species. Out of the animals from the SEA pack is the most recognizable (the dhole is just a dog)
