Edit 1 I see people saying this they would love to see, and yea, I would LOVE to see some special Easter,Halloween, and Christmas animals and maybe some odd ones now and then, only available for limited time. This is a HUGE stretch, but what I would really love to see is disco aquariums added to disco zoo. Like same system to catch them and stuff, whales sharks ect. All sorted differently with tons of fish and stuff. But I would especially love the first things! Great game anyway!
There's some confusion around this, so I wanted to clarify: if you're getting the latest build you should *not* lose game progress. However, any progress from beta builds (including this latest one) will not carry over to the final game when it becomes available on the App Store.
There are so many things you can add to the game in the future with this game as it's not all real animals and some are already mythical the possibilities just on pens are endless just like the post above. Did you guys ever decide to go ahead with the kind of info/bio on each animal?
Aw that's a shame it's something no games with a zoo seem to do but it would be nice in a future update.
CygnetSeven and I were having a discussion about the need to save funds to unlock the later levels. The only way to save up in-game currency (without IAP) is to stop playing for a while and wait for savings to accrue. If we rescue any animals, we'd be spending our in-game money. So to progress, we are both NOT playing currently, apart from waking up the animals periodically.
That's a good point most games like this are similar but generally have an elevator/car to transport people for some cash/bux and to get VIPs. You could do that with a car or something here to transport people to certain exhibits and have VIPs maybe for things like double the awake time on current exhibit, reduce building time, finish awake time and recive profit from that time. That way at least stayin on the game is also rewarding when your trying to save. Any thoughts devs?
Sorry to those who are asking, but we're not taking any new testers at this point. Thanks so much to everyone who has been playing and providing feedback and bug reports!
Balancing the late game has been tricky. We think with this latest beta, if you were playing from the very beginning, it would be better than it has been, though I'm not sure we've completely removed that wait. We've been trying to minimize the late game waits while still providing some challenge to players and making those later region aircraft feel special. However, if you're playing the latest build, you'll notice there are a bunch of events/minigames that can occur while you're in the game that will help you earn extra coins. If you're just jumping in to wake your animals you might not see them much, though, as they only happen while you're in-game. We may still need some more things like that, especially in the late game, but they'll have to wait for updates.
I've encountered a bug where the screen goes completely blank apart from the UI. This has happened 3 times so far. Once while i was tapping on the button to wake my sleeping critters, and twice while using the map to go back to the helipad. This is with the latest 1.0 beta build. I've also still being encountering the bugs where people end up in the animal pens and where no music/sound plays..
Interesting, we've never seen the black screen bug. What device/OS are you running on? Any chance you had no internet connection while running? We intentionally haven't fixed the visitors ending up in the pens bug, because we thought it was hilarious. I did some things to improve the music/sound bugs in the latest build, but we can't fix them entirely, as it appears to be a bug in the Unity engine. We're hoping they fix it soon, and if so we'll be able to roll out an update with the fix.
Hey on the iPod 4 I got the blackscreen, but one difference, I didn't see ANYTHING. But it's easily fixed by deleting from background then going back.
Are you seeing the black screen on launch? Or in the game when swiping around? If it's on launch then it's probably our beta security check timing out. If it's happening mid-game, then that's a different issue.
Yeah, another tester and I were talking about this. The mini games help, What if there were concession stand selling tshirts or hot dogs between each area that you had to restock. Not sure how that would change or help but it was just an idea. I guess breeding your animals (i.e. Pocket Frogs) is out. What if you loaned one of your elephants to a neighboring zoo for breeding and in return were given some of the offspring. Just thinking out loud. Not really found any bugs on an iPhone 5 running iOS 7. I had seen the people inside the cages once or twice but haven't seen them since the update. I should be in Jurassic Park in about 48 hours. Cant wait.
No, I definitely had an internet connection when this happened. I'm running the beta on an iPhone 4 with iOS 7.0.4
Did somebody say hot-dogs!? Yes I was speaking to 'gramps' a while back about considering adding things like that more like a 'theme' zoo where you can add shops/little stalls to help with the flow of little 8bit coins.l sorry for not posting been to engrossed in finding animals, how about a weather format and some animals react differently to weather like say..savannah animals don't like the snow/rain etc..how about staff where you can hire cleaners/keepers to wake the animals up .. Just feedback...in the end just feedback.
