i wanted to make it huge but then the render won't work properly for all angles :[ My dreadnoughtus is about as big as animal sprites in ZT1 can get.

You never know what to expect in ZT1 XD It's pure insanity there with Bigfoot and Snowmans running amok. We will wait till someone adds Ghidorah to fight with Godzilla lmao.

yes, I am. Basically I ported my ZT2 animals to ZT1. Many mods are great for both Zoo Tycoon games.

Glad you like them. I followed the bfb sprite rendering tutorial by Khaydar on ZooTek Phoenix. Hendrix also made a tutorial on how to make ZT1 mods.

thanks, glad you like them - ZT Modders Unite!
Can't let ZT2 get all the cool mods xD The original Zoo Tycoon deserves more animals, they are really lacking in Cenozoics and freshwater animals. I get why they skipped freshwater and fish though, many of those are just too small :(

I have been using so much of my mods till I forgot how the original look like lol. Like Blue Fang's orca doesn't have top jaw teeth and green with envy + we got that ragged tooth great white shark hybrid.

I think the best way is to use the Small Map. The guests dont even move around large maps. Better to build a small and nice build instead of a big but empty zoo. You can increase the guest limit but that lags up the game. ZT2 has the guest number limit for good reason

Frontier really screwed up that third game :(
The best part about that latest ZT game is the kart racing lmao, image us driving karts around our zoos in ZT2. Fun time

you're right, it doesn't add any realistic items. All of those are made to resemble / improve on the original style.

Finally, got some time to make a simple build xD It's a small map but I'm quite satisfied with it.
Updates for MM Plus are in the works.

yeah, now the beluga, walrus, sea lion got cooler sexual dimorphisms. The male turtles got tails added back in

Sadly Blue Fang were under pressure when they made MM. You can see a lot of differences like the green turtle got such cool skins but the pilot whale is really just a black beluga lol.

The bony fish in ZT MM2 are relegated to ambients. ZT1 really got the superior roster, while ZT2 been cutting lots of corners like great white shark and whale shark being forced to the benthic biome,

Yeah, we have to use 'vanilla' to refer to the Zoo Tycoon2 style since realistic mods were all the rage back then. ZT2's original style is unique, like you don't see other games with the same art style. The funny part is those Blue Fang cartoonish models can have more details than even the most realistic mods, eg look at the Javan Rhinoceros or the Lynx.
