Hey Planet Zoo Team,
so, I'd love to share my thoughts on the pack in the hope that this is being read.
Lets start with the good thing:
- I love the props in this pack and ever since I know it is not the last pack, I can enjoy it for what it is, so even if this is not pack related, thanks again for the open communication.
- The chicken and the sheep looks awesome and are a proof of the good work you guys CAN put into your animals, if you have the time and resources. I can only hope the reason why the other animals do not stand up to this standard is, that you lacked time and resources, because lets now get to the points where we really need to sit down and talk.
...
- Why are my DONKEYS neighing like horses? Why? The amazing sound work in Planet Zoo was ALWAYS, ever since the base game, your strongest department. But lately the Somali Wild Ass and - as I hear people say - the Tasmanian Devil beg to differ and so does the American Standard Donkey. A donkey that sounds like a horse AND misses the fur marks other people brought up already is a nice free mod quality, but does not qualify to be justified as paid content. THAT is just unacceptable, sorry. It Can't be that I have to deal with the same sound limitation of bought animals, that I need to deal with with using mods that are provided for free by people doing that as a hobby. It's not. The donkey never should have passed quality assesment and while not visualy as much, sound wise we do have a malayan tapir situation right there.
- You proved with my beloved sloth bear that you are absolutely capeable of doing shaggy fur. Why does the Highland Cattle look like you guys all combed them for hours? Again, a model that hits higher mod quality, but not paid content quality. In fact, recarding fur, some modders even do a better job. And with the size - I feel it comes down to sloppy research again. You read something about shoulder height and made it head height. That would explain why the Highland Cattle is facing a Bison and Bactrian Camel situation. (See the pattern? We've been there...)
- It's a whole pack of reskins and that is fine - but do your reskings propperly then.
Now, I know this review reads frustrating, maybe even angering to some Devs at Frontier. It rarely is your fault that you're working on a tiome crunch, with a lack of budget and understaffed. But at the end of the day, negative feedback from teh customer base is just as important and needs to reach higher management regardless, so that hopefully something will change.
And I hope it does, no matter if we only see one pack from here or several. The tone THIS pack sets is not a good one, animal wise.
I hope something is done at the very least about the donkey sounds. That one wind me up, really. There is just no excuse for that. And I'm
braying that opinion, until it get fixed.
EDIT: The chicken can not fit through a regular door hole? Are you serious?
