Just scored :)
I've got a question regarding the votes for a new theme because I haven't done it yet: How many votes does everyone have?

Voting for the new theme is just the case of putting your name next to a theme you like the sound of. Whichever theme has the most names against it is the hot favourite for the next theme. Hence the Penguin Pool mention.
But to answer your question, no limit on which themes you like the look/sound of but obviously no point putting your name against the same theme more than once :)

Oh dang I missed this round, thought I had read deadline went to the 24th …


No worries though! 😊 I’ll make sure to throw my vote in later tonight either way.

Oh sorry my dear, I did ask. If you'd like to submit it now I can ask everyone to score it for you?
Next time maybe give me a heads up that you're using the extended period so that I hold the date for you 💚

Oh dear :(
It did get extended, but the person needing the extension managed to finish on time
Did you start ? How close were you to finishing ?

I hadn't started because I thought I'd have time to work on it tonight and tomorrow. I had just hopped on quickly to check when things were due saw the deadline was pushed to the 24th and planned on that. Again, not a big deal.

Thanks v much for joining in the scoring anyway :) It is a bit unfair that the date was moved forward and then quite quickly back again, sorry about that. It was a bit of an unusual situation because someone asked for three extra days and then submitted the next day. I didn't want to hold everybody else up unnecessarily, especially as I am looking forward to taking a bit of a break and focus on self care for a bit.

I think you missed this post, but it's completely reasonable to miss posts and not be on here every day!:

Are there any more submissions coming in for Round 4?
Please let me know - if not we'll be ready to start scoring tomorrow!

The scoring categories for this round will be slightly different:
  1. Creativity
  2. Humour
  3. Beauty
  4. Resemblance (to movie scene)
I think that's a better match for the theme of this round - let me know if you agree/disagree, there's time to change it :)

MarvinB29292730Y1154111Hilarious! The chicken really did a number on that fenceI love this! So creative and really well made. Poor Dr. Grant though :(

Never watched this movie to be honest, so I can't say much about its resemblance but comparing to the pictures of the movie you posted, you really nailed it. It looks really cool and I love the lighting.
Frogstrich26212424Y95491Oh no, those poor goats! Very funny and I can't believe how ferocious that emu looks! Good girlYou really nailed the iconic Velociraptor pen, fantastic work.Great idea to use the emu as velociraptor!
The Carcharodontogenius25222024Y91487I LOVED this, somehow both very funny and moving too. Your giant looks so alive! Great idea for a scene and the time you spent on the robot really paid off.
Xrystal22131915Y69465You really got the Yosemite vibe down with the foliage and landscaping. Props for making a whole movie set, not just a scene!

Well, that's a wrap - for now! Thanks everyone for joining in, I hope it's been fun!

Four rounds, twenty-seven builds, lots of winners and for those that haven't won yet, I hope it's developed your skills and that you're super proud of what you've made. You should be! Thank you for sharing your creations 💚

We'll take a little break before the next round. Post here if you're interested in coming back for more in a few weeks time.

Feel free to run a round or two without me while I'm taking a breather - no need for the fun to stop if you want to keep it going!

Here Is Something You Probably Didn't See In The Video. I Named The Emus After The Velociraptors In Jurassic Park.

Hello lovelies!

Hope you're all doing well 💚
I'm not going to be able to run this game for a while - probably not until spring 2025*. Would someone else like to take over while I'm gone?

If you want to follow the same mechanics I was using, you'll need a google account and a basic knowledge of google apps, but of course you're free to do things differently if you have other ideas!

If you're willing...
Here is a copy of the google sheet I used to calculate the scores for Round 2. The second tab has the formulas that calculate the overall scores from the raw data. You'll want to set up your own scoring form (linked to the google form used for voting), but you can use this as a guide to see how I did it and use the same formulas if you want.

Feel free to ask any questions, I'll help out as much or as little as you want.

Hope you are well, or at least doing better.
I'll be personally taking a break from Planet Zoo for a while due to WoW Expansion coming out. Combination of playing occasionally and writing and testing addons rofl. Boredom doesn't usually set in for a few months rofl.

Thanks .. yes, I realised too late that it was a mistake using an existing zoo, but it was one I was working on anyway, expanding out, so thought I would use the challenge to do that with existing animals. But alas .. 110k plus building costs while on pause meant the zoo couldn't make it back quick enough ( I usually do short building sessions on pause , Game Theory Merch Store and then play through to build the money back up again rofl ). So trying to do that with a zoo just for the challenges so that it doesn't mess up my alphabet zoos which are my long term/permanent zoos. It may work, or might not. But I have 2 weeks to figure it out .. even if the final build is done in the last 6-12 hours rofl.

Yes, you are right.

Okay, how bout another round of the Zoolympic Games to cheer us all up a bit, now that the end of DLC support may well be nigh?

Build a habitat for one of the new DLC animals (your choice which)

To start when the new DLC is out - and after Hurricane Milton has passed, for anyone affected by that. Hope you're all staying safe 💚
We can discuss more specific timings here if any interest is shown :)

I'll tag all the usual suspects but anyone is free to join in!

IDK if I would choose Pallas' cat or Dik Dik?? Or maybe Markhor?
Wait, does African Leopard count as DLC?
