DLC Ideas for 2023

Late March - April 2023

Islands Pack:

Animals:
Tasmanian Devil (flagship)
Fossa
Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo
North Island Brown Kiwi
Walkthrough Exhibit Lories and Lorikeets: Rainbow Lorikeet, Coconut Lorikeet, Black-Capped Lory, Red Lory and Dusky Lory

Island Building Set inspired by Polynesian and Madagascan architecture

Animal Pack Alternative Additions:

Victoria Crowned Pigeon

June - July 2023

Tropical Animal Pack

Animals:
Black Howler Monkey (Flagship)
Linnaeus's Two-Toed Sloth
Red River Hog
South American Coati
Geoffroy's Spider Monkey
False Gharial
Coquerel's Sifaka
Walkthrough Exhibit Dwarf Monkeys: Golden Lion Tamarin, Emperor Tamarin, Cotton-Top Tamarin, Common Marmoset and Pygmy Marmoset (a template base model, just need the unique features of each of these small monkeys like the Golden Lion Tamarin's lion-esc features such as the mane and tufted tail, Emperor Tamarin's moustache, Cotton-Top Tamarin's funky hair style, Common Marmoset's tufts and Pygmy Marmoset's size and fluffy face.) They could also perhaps double as habitat animals, considering how they are exhibited in zoos other than in walkthroughs.

September - October 2023

Mountains/Highlands Pack

Animals:
Wolverine (Flagship)
Sichuan Takin
Andean Bear
Gelada
California Condor (Exhibit, if large aviaries were to be included in the update)

Some Bonus Ideas:

Indian Subcontinent Animal Pack: This idea comes out of the fact we have an Indian theme, so fleshing out the entire subcontinent rather than just India, makes a bit of sense

Gaur (Flagship)
Sloth Bear
Blackbuck Antelope
Markhor
Pallas's Cat
Himalayan Monal
Lion-Tailed Macaque or Nilgai
King Cobra (We seriously need this one)

Cold Climate Animal Pack: Animals from colder areas of the world, cold mountains, tundra, taiga forests and polar regions

Pacific or Atlantic Walrus (Flagship)
Musk Ox
Saiga Antelope
Southern Sea Otter
Gentoo Penguin
Mountain Goat

Quite a solid idea you have there. But may I interest you to swap Victorian crowned pigeon for the flamingo and a Cameroonian sailfin chameleon for Southern Corroboree frog?

It's your choice anyways , mate
 
I want a tropical pack at some point.
I think a tropical/rainforest and a highlands/taiga/Tundra packs, or at least something close to that, are good chances at some point for 2023. And as we've had Grasslands in December now, it seems we could have any of those packs at any time in the year.

I've only gone with animal packs, as I would rather have as many new animals added as possible.

Mountain Animal Pack: I think there aren't enough mountainous species in the game, so I thought a pack dedicated to some would be a good idea
  1. Gelada
  2. Mishmi takin
  3. Turkmenian markhor
  4. Spectacled bear
  5. Northern ground hornbill
  6. Greater rhea
  7. Pallas's cat
  8. Jackson's three-horned chameleon

Rainforest Animal Pack: I know that most of the animals in the game are from the tropics, but there are a few more that I think could be added to the game

  3. Southern tamandua
  4. Philippine spotted deer

  4. Tasmanian devil
  5. Central European boar
  6. North American porcupine

  2. Mexican collared peccary
  3. Persian honey badger
  4. Cape rock hyrax
  5. Russian saga
  6. Bolson tortoise
  7. Perentie
  8. Armadillo lizard
