I don't think there is any doubt that FDev will be producing a beautifully looking and smooth running (to a point) game.
They appear to be silent on the management (if any) and the game element, which is my interest (as it was with PC; still disappointed). Perhaps these type of creative building games are just not for me

.It's a silhouette. You can't really tell.
Today's orangutan day, tho, and Frontier's always announcing new animals based international animal days. So it is most likely an orangutan.
I love the atmosphere of that new picture! And yay! Waterfalls! <3
Also beside Orangutan Day, I think the pose of lowering his head is more Orangutan like than Gorilla like, since their heads are more often higher on the torso.

Bummer. The waterfall is still made from special effect pieces. :/

Personally, I don’t mind special effects pieces at all.
An in-depth water simulation is calculation-expensive and at the end, it doesn’t really matter that much. (If you don’t look too close, that is. But usually we don’t.)
Having written this, I really would love to see a greater variety of “water fall special effect tiles”. Or, more precisely, special effect tiles that were actually meant to be used as water falls and not just some fountain FX that could be used as water fall in a crude work-around.
What about a narrow array of dripping water strings, what about a gentle fall like in the OP of the dedicated thread? And then, oh how wonderfull, maybe an even stronger stream, maybe a stone dividing the fall. With such special effects presets, I could live happily.

I think the waterfall in the picture looked pretty realistic for water FX, so I really don't mind if the waterfalls aren't actually using the real water effects. However, that being said, I hope its not too hard to make a waterfall in this game. Then again, even if it does look like water fall FX, it could end up being an actual waterfall, as there's no real confirmation of how they made it yet. Bet the waterfalls will be shown off at gamescom tomorrow.

I mean, zoo tycoon 2 had real working waterfalls, and planet zoo has a volume metric water system.
Small point of forum etiquette: please do not double post, use the edit button instead
I fixed it.
Sadly, Bornean Orangutans are critically endangered - but many are fighting to save them! Your support can aid worldwide conservation efforts and enrichment programs. Find out more about what you can do here: (didn't include the link, as I don't know the rules here for that..)
