Hi all, while we wait for launch I made a tutorial about starting a new Zoo in the franchise mode and making it profitable at the start. Would you mind telling me how good it is so I can change it before games launch?

From the description of the video:
In this tutorial video for Planet Zoo I show you how to start a new Zoo in the franchise mode and guide you to be profitable. I cover making paths, setting up animal habitats and exhibits on the right locations and making animals living in them happy. Happy animals then lead to happy visitors which spend more cash on other forms of entertainment and food, drink in your Zoo making you even more profitable.

Seemed fine. Though, I would argue that "starting" your zoo, you dont really need the drinks and food. They're rarely get used till your zoo gets big enough that the guests get thirsty. If you just have 1 habitat, or two; The guests dont stay long enough for thirst or food. Even though the guests happiness may say that they are thirsty or hungry. They cost quite a bit, and dont bring enough profit, for Starting your zoo.
As for the information booth, the guests really like the info booth, at the start. It sales a lot of different items, and will help make a beginning profit.
Either way, you'll probably want to do another one when the games released. The beta didnt have hardly anything "on". Starting a new zoo in franchise, and having it profitable, may be a lot different. Maybe..
You were precise. The vid has a lot of nice beginner info. And, its under 10min. Which I really like short tutorials. Give me the basic info, and how to use it, quickly..lol If I want more detail, I'll watch "Tips and Tricks". So, well done. I would suggest slow down talking, just a little. It could get just slightly hard to understand you, so fast.
Again, I liked it! Well Done!

I found it very helpful and this is coming from someone that watched every Beta video I could find.

Maybe if you went into a little more depth about locating staff buildings away from quests paths by showing the map with the red radius around the staff buildings (and where to locate those buttons). Do more that tell them how and add why.

I never saw anyone tell me how to choose the proper fence. I know that Zoopedia tells you what grade and how high, so, go into fences and show me how to find that particular information. I've seen how to raise a fence higher, but repeating that info could still be helpful.

Assume your viewer has never seen any video before yours and cover every detail no matter how small. Locating command buttons is key.

That is true, the only downside is the length of the video would increase with the depth of the gameplay tips. I tired covering just the barebones basics and leave room for more videos later to go into more details, like the ones you mentioned.

But I will try to squeeze in a few more sentences in version 2.0 about the topics your wrote. Thank you!
