Oh forgive me. I didn’t realize I had a lack of knowledge, especially for being a zoo hobbyist for around well over 15 years. It had completely slipped my mind that AZA stands for Association for Zoos and Arthropods… wait.
My clear intention for marine animals is no more ridiculous than the inclusion of the Lesser Antillean Iguana or the Proboscis Monkey. I have been to zoos, not just aquariums that display Marine Mammals ranging from Manatees to Dolphins to fish to Sea Lions and more. It just so happens that this has overlap with aquariums, but normal zoo animals have overlap with aquariums as well, I’ve been to aquariums with Tamarins and Monkeys hopping around. No different situation - it simply happens. But of course, I must know nothing about zoo’s when I say I want marine mammals in a fictional video game lol
Plus, this is a game, I shouldn’t have to have knowledge in order to make suggestions. The whole point of games are to represent fictional worlds in which the impossible can be possible. Again, Lesser Antillean Iguanas are RARELY found in captivity yet they’re in the game. You are wholeheartedly discrediting my opinions and my intents when I advocate for more innovative and challenging DLC’s as opposed to a vanilla and uninspired DLC wishlist.
But here’s the thing - I’m not anti-animal. Once again, I am BOLDLY advocating for a North American Animal Pack though current signs point in a different direction. And again, to point out, how could I be anti-animal when I have personally had a hand in developing over 80+ new species in the game, for free? I go unrewarded for most of the time in development of new species for the game, which makes my ambitions all the more clear. I actively want and create more animals in a zoos game. I know you don’t use mods here, but I know a damn good amount of people do, and at least they can recognize my intention to bring more often than not overlooked yet integral species to the game. I remember people were hard-pressed when the Platypus and Emu were overlooked in the Australia Pack, the Sloth Bear from SEA, heck, I’ve filled the niche of Aquatic Animals and Farm Animals for you all should you finally choose on your own ambition to use mods. I’m nowhere near the graphical artist that J or BH are, but I do my damn best in order to get integral species into the game. But that’s right, I’m not a zoo person so I couldn’t possibly know anything there is to know about keystone species in zoos around the world, lol. Just another anti-animal builder, I guess!
But I’m not even anti-Frontier animal. I’m against the idea that we’re restricted to such small packs too. I have been the one advocating for them to raise the price point up a notch to include more animals and more scenery. You can’t tell me I’m wrong for wanting the best of both worlds?
I’m just tired of it man. This forum is not open to new ideas that go against the grain to the stagnant opinions whatsoever - and you instantly turn on me and claim me to know nothing about a field I genuinely show an interest in, have been pushing myself to learn more about well over half my life, and a hobby I have come to love. I thought I could make a funny joke about this meme in the community that I wasn’t a fan of the SEA pack but you all took that and started to make these false accusations against me. It’s no wonder why people find this place to be toxic, I thought I could integrate myself in here and serve as a bridge betwixt content creator and forum fan but I guess not. I’m clearly not welcome here and all I wish for is to push my political agenda or whatever was mentioned before. Lord forbid I break the mold for once lol
