I don't remember how long has passed since I started playing zoo games.
As most of my generation zoo gamers, Zoo Tycoon (the one from blue fang) was the origin of an obsession.
And as time passes, even though Planet Zoo has met some expectations the rest of the industry has lacked, I feel it is getting a bit… static…lifeless lastly.
On one part, I understand that games have changed, and reasons for big expansions and second parts of the franchise are becoming something of the past (sadly in my opinion) and it's not a requirement for empowering a game and the new development is long an expensive but on the other hand... I feel the lack of some interesting new gameplay.
As this is a whist list topic, here are some things I would appreciate for my zoo animal catalogue.
Water animals, like a lot more. We have a compelling tool in creating water habitats but little amount of water animals like:
-Big turtles
-Different penguins
-seals (like there's a lot, sea lions, walruses… that are not the typical cute one)
As some normal animals, but we can go a bit more crazy, we have big spaces to cover in our zoos and terrible fps once it becomes famous and crowded, so better to be more creative with animal enclosures than having little animals and crashing zoos, as some different habitat animals, not usually seen, but it's a game:
-dolphins and whales
-sharks, different kinds
-stingrays and family
-can be nice some big crabs and similar to recreate communal spaces
and finally, the last touch in the line would be the little fishes, using the terrarium mechanics, but with fishes of different kinds, as we have different countries and ecosystems, we can have tropical fishes, Atlantic, Mediterranean... and especial animals as jellies and this kind. And as last touch, some interesting educative objects with touch spaces where there are seashells and urchins and all these kinds of little animals that can be found on the coast. And a really nice them decor!
I already have some designs done!
