my franchise will be called after a project I used in a different online game, so far I have 4 names for zoos and a rough idea how they will look like. I plan to tell stories with my zoos, maybe just to myself, I am not interested to rebuild anything you can find in Reality. the first zoo will just be the start, the beginning, where i will be focusing on animals that i later can transfer to the themed zoos of my franchise.
I get ideas wile reading books, watching movies/ tv shows, sometimes they have nothing to do with the actual idea, it might just be a picture, a line of a character that gives me an idea, then I make notes and as soon as the game is here i will see what i can do with it. I do not think to much of it now, because the beta was only a small glimpse of what will be in the game, so i will wait and see
