Fall DLC 2023 Speculation

[KönigDerKaffeebohnen]

I don’t really get the concept of niches to be honest. Surely if it was just about that we’d have no new content because ostrich is a big bird, reindeer is a deer, kangaroo is a marsupial etc.

One of the great things about the game now is the growing variety we can choose from so we all have zoos with a different flavour.

Its not that we got one if everything but atleast when i talk about it i mean niche in types of habitat.
For example the dromedary can fill multiple niches as 1. A large desert ungulate, 2. Domestic in a petting zoo, 3. Themed African Villages, 4. Australian Invasive, 5. General Filler Ungulate and 6. Implied Dromedary rides.
These would be the scenarios where the dromedary would be usefull, as these are the niches it can have, making it very versatile compared to for example the scymitar horned onyx which serves as 1. Large to midsize desert ungulate, 2. General african ungulate and 3. Filler Ungulate.
This does not mean that the SHO is bad, just that the dromedary is more flexible in use, which makes it for me more desireable

Aha! I knew it! Flying fox!

I've already wishlisted the pack, Tasmanian Devil and Kiwi finally making it in is super exciting, and I'm really happy with the quokka too (ever since Wilhelma got them I had them on my wishlist). Little Penguin and the Flying Fox, I didn't particularly want but I'm fine with them being here.

do u know me on a personal level

Are you me?

 

[Antimony96]

Mostly because I know a select handful of members get early access. I have worked SM for a few companies before and had special knowledge of stuff. Had to sign some nice NDAs ect.

George Boggs is definitely not one of that handful.

i wish

RIP exhibit birds period I think. It was getting less and less likely in my mind, but I think this seals it, unfortunately. However, I think the bat is awesome and I love the lineup . Would rather the Tree Kangaroo than Quokka but that's just a slight personal preference. Really excited for this pack and I'm so happy it's coming next week!

Still have trouble believing that they introduced the entire function just for bats, butterflies, and a sloth.

george boggs made the pack he doesnt need to sign anything

I find it interesting that there is seemingly not much more to the free update. Am keen for king penguin variations

 

[DarthQuell]

But, they likely have more up their sleeve. They don't give out all the details in their updates, after all

Yea it is certainly an odd choice but nonetheless I'm not upset over it, a fruit bat is a fruit bat so I'll take it.

Then im pleased

 

[synthetase]

I was hoping for lorikeet but I am so excited for the Spectacled Flying Fox! I think it is going to be my personal favorite of the pack.
Followed by Tassie (looks perfect!), then quokka.

4 zoos to be extact. And thats seem to be all.

 

[FortressDoor]

Wish there were animals that had more presence in western zoos. Don't think I'll end up using any of them for any of my projects, way too niche of a selection for me. Hopefully winter's pack is better.

i do think we might get a bird pack in december. im waiting to buy any packs till i know but december is my last hope
