With Planet Zoo, we have always been conscious of the importance of drawing attention to the role zoos play in species conservation, so one factor we always care about is the current conservation status and efforts linked to an individual species. Whilst doing all of this, we are also keen to make sure that these animals are as diverse as possible whilst also actually found in zoos. The first phases of the plan were based on regions (Arctic, South America etc.) and were followed more recently by the aquatic pack, which was heavily defined by the swimming gameplay mechanic.Įach of our DLCs have been reviewed in planning with our Publishing and Community Team, looking to take inspiration from the list of favourites provided by our players on the forums. At the start of Planet Zoo we had a vision for the future which included the DLC road map. How do you decide which animals you want to bring to the game next? Do you pour through forums, listen to fans, or do you have your own favourites that you’re keen to debut? As this is our first Animal Pack, there is no scenery included, other than adorable signs for each of the animals in the pack.
PLANET ZOO EXHIBIT ANIMALS FREE
True to this theme, one of our new enrichment items, the hammock, has your animals climb and relax in one of our longest enrichment animations ever! Additionally, we have added two tree enrichments free for all users, which animals will use to rub against or sharpen their claws.
PLANET ZOO EXHIBIT ANIMALS FULL
Over half of the animals coming with this pack will exhibit a full range of climbing behaviours and spend a considerable amount of their time exploring and lazing in the treetops. Kilian: Southeast Asia is home to a massive range of different species, though many of these in the dense rainforest and are adept climbers. What can people expect to see in terms of new animals, scenery, and enrichment items? Breaking down the regions would be great, but we’d end up with such a large number of content packs and no time to give them each the attention they deserve. Are there any in particular that you are going to be focusing on with this DLC, or is it more of a broad overview of the region?ĭarren: When looking at an area as diverse as South East Asia, we have to go with a broad overview. South East Asia encompasses a number of different territories. To delve a little deeper into what’s in store here, we sat down with the Frontier’s Kilian Schmitt and Darren Williams. Adding fresh exhibits and extra decorative pieces, these add-ons have each all themed around specific areas – with the Arctic, Australia, South America and Aquatic regions of the globe all getting a dedicated slice of content.įor their next expansion, the devs are looking to bring a Southeast Asian flavour to the game, complete with new animals, new scenery and new attractions for guests to enjoy. Indeed, the BAFTA nominee has been a huge hit for the developer, prompting them to create a number of DLC packs since launch. One of their biggest hits of recent years has to be Planet Zoo, a spiritual successor to the Zoo Tycoon franchise that has been met with rave reviews and a loyal fan following. Not to mention state of the art dinosaur safaris! Ever since the early 2000s, they’ve been enabling people to realise their dream visions of extravagant theme parks and exotic wildlife sanctuaries.
Harrison Abbott talks with Frontier Developments about Planet Zoo’s Southeast Asia Animal Pack…Īlthough they have dabbled in a few other genres (including party games and space exploration MMOs), the bread and butter for Cambridge-based team, Frontier Developments, is surely the management sim.
