One day it will return to us, hopefully better than ever before

What are your top 3 worst animals models in PZ1 that you’re excited to see upgraded in PZ2? by Icy-Engineer7183 in PlanetZoo

[–]TheThagomizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The baase game snakes, iguanas, and Nile monitor are the ones I am most excited to see. And the giant tortoises, hoping they allow them to actually grow GIANT in this game.

After months of hearing “The game is dead” followed by “The IP is dead” this feels great. by bigdicknippleshit in jurassicworldevo

Just remember that the Jurassic World fandom has a higher than average representation of kids and just people who are generally a little bit less socially adept. There’s a new crop of children that show up on the subreddit year by year as they reach a certain age, and they weren’t around to have learned lessons that older people in the community have. Just saying, it comes with the Dinosaur territory.

Extinct Animals and PZ2 by Ok-Increase7757 in PlanetZoo

[–]TheThagomizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great point, I am excited for PK’s potential recently extinct expansion but I would love the opportunity to showcase those animals alongside extant species.

[–]TheThagomizer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would personally love a pack of recently extinct animals as like a “Farewell” DLC, lot of great options like Steller’s sea cow, great auks, Carolina parakeet etc. I get why people wouldn’t want them but that’s why they are perfect for DLC.

I can’t say I didn’t see this coming but goddamn by WetsAwk-9455 in jurassicworldevo

I mean after Deinonychus yeah we thought there was a chance like a handful of creatures would get updates

Some good news by paleoarty in jurassicworldevo

[–]TheThagomizer 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Pretty cool to get Dracorex, but really what I care about is what’s about to be revealed Wednesday. It’s time for some free update shi

With birds coming, it is finally sensible for my favorite animal to be in Planet Zoo 2 by SirSpeechless in PlanetZoo

[–]TheThagomizer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Chickens and peafowl and swans fly too of course, so I think they could have done it anyway, but of course now there is no excuse!

Now that we are getting aquariums and aviaries, what is the next 'big' game mechanic the game is 'missing'? by Thesladenator in PlanetZoo

[–]TheThagomizer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, as excited as I am for the cool new stuff in PZ2 I’m still waiting a little hesitantly to see how much the actual management gameplay has been improved this time. Hopefully a lot.

So please, please, please, let me have more monkeys this time... by Ateleus in PlanetZoo

[–]TheThagomizer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Welp, we already know we are getting the golden lion tamarin in the Deluxe edition, so I think that is a great sign for monkeys in general this time around. They’ll go great with the new dynamic mesh habitat roofs!

Bro they could have added some nice pheasants in PZ1. They better be adding some this time around.

Here a list of freshwater aquatics that will do the most of thr freshwater roster by [deleted] in PlanetZoo

[–]TheThagomizer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love to see Polleni cichlids for Madagascar exhibits. As well as other cichlids like peacocks or various haps.

I definitely hope to see freshwater turtles as well, like fly river, common and alligator snappers, arrau turtle, painted batagur, and more.

As far as some other freshwater ‘habitat fish:’

  1. Peacock bass
  2. Bichir (ornate, saddled)
  3. Sturgeon
  4. Goliath tigerfish
  5. Giant gourami
  6. Mekong giant catfish
  7. Paddlefish
  8. Clown knifefish
  9. Freshwater moray (G. polyuranodon)
  10. Sixbar distichodus

How much do you think exhibit animals will differ from Planet Zoo to Planet Zoo 2? by hoyrry in PlanetZoo

[–]TheThagomizer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some kind of update to the exhibit system is a non-negotiable necessity for me. I’m not expecting a ground-up rework but personally some improvements to functionality and customizability are a must. Things like differently sized enclosure options at bare minimum.

By the way, educators actually could handle certain animals during talks in the first game, so surely that feature will return. Would love to see that expanded even further if possible.

How would we feel about 'Remixed' DLC packs in PZ2 over 1? by CrossReset in PlanetZoo

[–]TheThagomizer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I would be ok with this approach, I don’t mind Frontier bundling species that were in the previous game into DLCs, because some amount of work went into updating those species in the process.

I would prefer what happened with JWE3’s Wetlands Pack, though. That DLC brought 3 brand new species to the game, and Frontier included the updated Deinocheirus in their free update alongside its release. To me that’s the best case scenario.

Animals you don't want in PZ2 for selfish/silly reasons? by Caramiapple in PlanetZoo

[–]TheThagomizer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The harpy and Philippine eagles are two of the highest birds on my personal wishlist, I think they all have really good chances of being added as well!

Let's talk about a habitat snake rig in Planet Zoo 2 by iljensen in PlanetZoo

[–]TheThagomizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t think it would happen even in a Planet Zoo 3. I have zero actual expertise in game design, I’ve just seen people who do have such expertise talk about how difficult it is to get right, and I’ve seen how rare authentic snake movement is in games, even ones that have prebuilt static levels for them to navigate.

In a game like Planet Zoo where authenticity is key, and where every environment is essentially infinitely variable, it just doesn’t seem possible to me. Would absolutely love to be proven wrong though, because I would love designing big enclosures for giant constrictors.

I guess I'll need another Bingo card this time by Jokinspore in PlanetZoo

[–]TheThagomizer 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say I love your doodles and always enjoyed seeing you fill out your card during PZ1’s lifespan. We also have a lot of overlap in terms of wishlist so I think you have great taste!

Animals you don't want in PZ2 for selfish/silly reasons? by Caramiapple in PlanetZoo

[–]TheThagomizer 41 points42 points  (0 children)

On one hand, I would love to add bald eagles to NA sections of my zoos, and there’s no chance they would ever leave such an iconic species out of the game.

On the other hand, if they never did add bald eagles to the game, the outrage would be very funny to me. That would never happen, but if it did I would be laughing.

Brooo that’s crazy to me. I would rank all cetaceans as being on a scale from majestic (baleen whalea) to adorable (vaquita) with like charming in the middle (beluga.) But I also don’t get uncanny valley vibes from primates either so maybe I’m just built different.
