What I was most looking forward to, but what hasn't been included in the game, is the ability to play Planet Zoo together with my friends. Unfortunately the current game doesn't lend itself to such gameplay.
So I have an idea to make Planet Zoo interactive with friends: The ability to have a Shared Franchise with a friend (or multiple friends?) on Steam. This Shared Franchise would look and feel like the current Franchise system, with the following changes:

- players can start a Franchise together with friends, if they are connected as friends on Steam and all parties own Planet Zoo. Planet Zoo already keeps track of your friends who also own the game, and you can already see your friends on the globe when you open Planet Zoo.
- each player manages their own zoos in this Shared Franchise. Players cannot play each others' zoos.
- each player earns their own conservation credits. They have the ability to donate conservation credits to the affiliated zoos in the Shared Franchise that are managed by their friends.
- players in the Shared Franchise can send animals to each other as a gift. They will appear in the gift section of the trading center.
