Spring 2024 DLC Speculation

We know animal packs usually have 2 unique rigs, 1 clone with new animation, and the rest clones. Although with my version, because of the heavy work on one of the rigs, that animal with new animation is just a clone.

My setup:

I still don't see the spider monkey as a real possibility. I think howler is way more likely and something like squirrel monkey. I personally want Brazilian tapir so i would not mind. Please no paywall flamingo reskin. At least the wisent is different enough from the american bison.

Yeah, I think spider monkey isn't worth prioritizing when there's perhaps as many as half a dozen other suitable SA monkeys that wouldn't feel like they're missing anything. I think I've settled on black howler and common squirrel monkey as my winning combination, but I think just 1 is probably more realistic and I wouldn't be a bit surprised at this point if we just got 0.

My list is really just the same as everyone else's, but I'll post it again because why not
  1. Ocelot
  2. South American coati
  3. Greater rhea
  4. Patagonian mara
  5. Spectacled bear
  6. Black howler
  7. Common squirrel monkey
  8. Two-toed sloth sp.
The first five and the sloth are mandatory. If we have to lose one or both monkeys (and we can't swap them for, say, a tamarin or saki), choose from the following: Brazilian tapir, bush dog, southern tamandua, tayra, scarlet ibis, roseatte spoonbill, brown pelican. Agoutis and pudus don't do it for me (I concede this is probably because I've never seen either irl), and another camelid just feels like too much. As a total wildcard I'd actually maybe be okay with a guinea pig or chinchilla (as a full habitat species, of course) but they're far from a priority.

Same as you honestly. My hope is that the spectacled bear comes in another pack so it opens a slot for something else.

I would imagine the Geoffoy’s Spider Monkey would be an IDEAL choice for the ‘unique rig’ of a Latin America Pack.

It is first and foremost one of the most unique primates we could get, and would sell the pack to almost anyone in a heartbeat. Additionally, most people’s Latin America Pack concepts include not a single animal from Central America. The Geoffroy’s Spider Monkey is a Central American species, so would fill that niche too.

The groundwork is already there with the likes of complex arboreal animations in the binturong and gibbons. Some extra work around the main rig of an animal pack is possible to include it. Possibly the other animals do suffer the fate of the arid/eurasia packs but most SA animals that are not primates are typically 'clones' anyway.

My idea/hope for a LA pack:
. B&G Howler
. Ocelot
. Rhea
. Mara
. Tamandua
. Coati
. Squirrel Monkey
. Linne’s Two Toed Sloth

(I could go with the Spider monkey too replacing one of those, preferably squirrel)

How would people feel about this for a realistic but not "mainstream" take on a Latin American Animal Pack:

Love it and all animals from it are great and wanted by me also. But… I think that mara and Rhea would be better and more versatile choices for a zoo game than tamandua and pudu.
I also think that wild camelid is super important for a realistic zoo game. Llama is literally barn animal 🙄 and remember that a animal pack without a ungulate it’s not a animal pack so 🤷🏽

I don't think Spider Monkey needs to behave 1/1 like real animal.

Give the tail couple of unique animations for hanging or holding, tie it to climbing frames and vines and I think we'd be good.

Of course that's also complicated task, but it's simpler than having to work tail in every facet of their movement.
