DLC18 discussion and predictions

[DarthQuell]

I think he might have been kidding

So everything I believed @TheNamesJonas said is a lie?

 

[PlanetSoyJak]

If we have to wait till December, Markhor must have the most beautiful beard ever, Palla's eyes needs a small tweak, and Hamadryas Booty gotta be redder then ever

 

[Villanelle]

Then those baboon butts better be the single most amazing and detailed things in the game by that point

Oh gawd noooo please - stuff of nightmares!

 

[AlexSea]

In the meantime we can distract ourselves with other things. Maybe prepare an area in your zoo for one of the new animals we're getting?

To pass the time until announcement day, I'm playing through every career scenario on hard difficulty to get the associated Steam achievements. Despite having over 550 hours of playtime I still haven't gotten 100% achievements, since the majority that I don't have require me to play franchise mode, which I've barely touched.

Hamadryas booty made me spit out my chamomile tea

Hah, and there's me having never done any of the career scenarios and only played Franchise for my first two years. Now I mix up Franchise and Sandbox depending on how complicated I want my building to get. Overall Franchise is my favourite mode, I like the park management challenge alongside building. It's cool there are all these different ways to play this game and that people can literally only do one mode if they want to for hundreds of hours.

Also I just realized they never posted their world animal day post on instagram, just twitter. I am now fully convinced they just forgot to post something for today and rushed something out lol

Yes, sorry about that

I'm already definitely planning for a section of my next build for my baboons, literally photographed in my head and I will try my darndest to even get to at least a fraction of how good it looks in my mind, I;m so excited to work on it

Guys, what if we did get wild yaks in the pack, but they had like half the visuals of the domestic yak and all the color variants, like frontier just merged them together to make everyone happy

I guess I could live with that, but I still will be a little disappointed

 

[TheNamesJonas]

Habitat slugs

Gasp! Nonononononoooooo I have a slug phobia ever since I stepped on a huge one when I was a kid. I thought it was a banana and then its eye stalks popped out. Worst memory

 

[Villanelle]

Sea slugs are okay though. Love a nudibranch. Hard to step on stuff in deep sea water.

 

[USzoofan42]

Coquerel's

You’ve changed…

I'm thinking mostly in terms of which models can just be copy-pasted into a sequel as they are. I think anything post South-East asia pack (including) can just go as is, but most stuff before needs tweaks. Animals I think are ready to go:

Base game:

• Bonobo
• Common ostrich
• Greater flamingo
• Indian peafowl
• Komodo dragon
• Pygmy hippo
• Thomson gazelle
• Western Chimpanzee

Year 1 dlcs:

• Capuchin
• Cuvier's dwarf caiman
• Dall sheep
• Dingo
• Grey seal
• King penguin
• Southern cassowary

All the base game birds need substantial texture upgrades and the flamingo needs substantially longer wings. The chimpanzee has juvenile coloration even as an adult. Pygmy hippo is, uh, too fat.
