Variation is very important for me in a simulation game so that I dont get bored.
Before frontier launched planet zoo they promised each animal would be an individual.... still the only visible difference in most animals that are not tigers or zebras is just their height.
for example the African wild dog... they ALL have the EXACT same coat while in real life they have unlimited amount of different patterns. would it be so difficult to make at least 15 different skins for the african wild dog?
I dont feel attached to them even if I do want to... would be so much easier to see who is who, like the alpha male has a white butt or whatnot.
whats even more sad is that the wild dogs don't even have an ''albino'' version. so no variation at all.
same with the timber wolf. sure the arctic wolf is coming in a few days but pretty sure you cant keep them in the same enclosure in franchise.
would be great with color and pattern variations in all other species too. but these two feel mostly like clones with isnt very fun.
Other ideas on realistic variation other than fur color:
-More color mutations would be a treat.
-Vitiligo (uncurable disease, not mutation)
-Blind on one or both eyes from fight or old age.
-Missing pieces of ear from fight. big and/or small pieces.
-No tail mutation or injury.
-Heterochromia (mutation idea)
^ these arent necessary but just general ideas.
