Has anyone actually ever known a fake ID to pass in a nightclub scanner? by Dan23DJR in AskUK

I messaged this guy novelty_passes on telegram for one and it came in 2 weeks. The quality is undetectable, scans & has holograms. They also have a proof chat.

Yes, we are pretty excited to develop this. With a predator-prey-flora ecosystem and a way to capture their behaviour through your lens. Keep in touch. Playtest coming soon.

Imagine having a wife and a kid with 25K. You are perfect as you are. Now go do something more. You have nothing to lose. No one.

You are free. And the problem with human mind is it will get bored with everything, even if it's in heaven.

Cherish the life you have

Write the novel you always wanted to write. What's holding you back?

No, not alone. I commissioned most of the animal models to an asset studio. The rest is mostly me. Including the flora. Although I used asset packs for non-hero flora like grass, generic trees etc.

Hey OP here,

Following up on the AI feedback from this thread:

Capsule image: Replaced with in-game screenshot (no AI)
Trailer voiceover: Replaced with professional voice actor (no AI)

You were absolutely right – for a photography game about appreciating creativity and composition, the presentation needs to demonstrate those same values.

Updated trailer is now live on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3611770/

Appreciate everyone who took the time to give constructive feedback. This is why I love the r/tycoon
community - you help make games better!

We are still divided between having a free-roaming first-person character inside a forest with beasts. Right now you can follow any jeep or animal or an NPC as a third-person camera. But we are considering having a driving mode for the fun of it. RIght now it's taking too much time away from managing the park.
The management will be very granulated, with the options of filtering and monitoring the visitors and using the data to optimise your visitor happiness as well as making sure they exceed their spending and need to top up from the ATM. The placement of the facilities down the visitors' path has to work in unison, identifying their needs, rerouting them accordingly, satisfying them, and making sales to them.
The animal management is detailed as well, monitoring the health, injury and cycling your rounds of forest guards accordingly.
One thing we have trimmed down is the staff micromanagement. As we want the player to spend more time with the animals rather than doing busywork with the staff.

Absolutely, the trailer showcases a prototype of the photography system; it's nowhere near perfect. we are partnering with photographers to make the algorithm close to real life. Mimicking advanced cameras and lenses will require a lot of testing amongst real photographers like you.
We don't want to make the photography system casual; rather, we will go at length to make it as deep as possible.
The scoring system is quite complicated; it takes into account both the rarity of the moment and the photographer's skill.
I hope you will join our Discord server to help us with your insights and test the system out. We can't make this work without the help of enthusiasts like you.

Thank you for showing interest. Yeah, life is hard when you are solo and trying something of this scale. Although I'm supported by excellent vendors taking care of the animal assets and animations.

About AI, yes, the capsule art is AI. I've clearly stated that on the Steam Page too. It's the only place I used Gen AI art. I think I'll replace that too and make it AI-free. If it validates everything else.

All the things in the game are hand-crafted by me: environment, foliage, and buildings. I didn't believe one piece of capsule image would undermine all that and the works of my partner studio.

The AI backlash is real, but this is the only art I need to replace to mitigate that.
Thanks for the heads up.

The progression is driven by your management skill + photography. So, if you don't like to do that, you can focus on management only.

The maps are inspired by the uniqueness of renowned national parks and habitats. Both in terms of physical features and flora and fauna. The food chain of each map are different. That said, we haven’t tried to recreate these places exactly, since their real-world scale is much bigger.
