Can we have fishes? Or whales? Kind of like zoo tycoon seaworld dlc?

There are too many people who want these animals. I'm sure we'll see these animals, but I don't know what the DLC's name is.

The game engine seems to already lay the foundation for marine animals with the volumetric water feature and the ability to contain it with something like glass barrier. I don't see excuse of not puthing one.

yes the game engine supports.

also, the absence of any marine creatures in the game also points to the future of such a DLC.
some people say they can do a separate game but I don't think they will do a separate game. A separate game means extra money and labor. It would be stupid to invest in another game when you already have a suitable game in their hands.

Don't see a reason why they want to make it separate since the only differences that separates seaworld DLC and land based animals is just the animals themselves. In terms of facilities, if you're talking about big arenas or domes, those can already be constructed piece by piece anyway with the base game.

There are far too many ethical questions around large marine animals like orca or dolphins. My personal prediction is that a marine animal DLC will include more conventional zoo animals like seals, sea lions, penguins, and aquaria (as in, aquarium exhibits). Frontier seems to be developing this game around conservation/real life zoo ethics, so I'm not sure they'd try and promote something like SeaWorld considering it's such a divisive issue - the last thing they will want is bad PR.

I believe that killer whales or dolphins will be added to this game and I want it very much. But I don't know what the DLC's name is. As you say, people are divided in two about SeaWorld. I do not think they will take risks. If the killer whales or dolphins broadcast the game as a DLC using a completely specific name without specifying a brand, there is no problem.
but I believe that Frontier will behave fairly. I'm thinking Frontier knows that people who do not want killer whales do not have to buy this DLC...
