Thank you so much! I really appreciate all of the kind comments. 💕

I'm really sorry to hear about your SVT (arrythmia) It's good that you did the heart monitor study. Please take good care of yourself! We look forward to seeing your zoos when you're up to building. However, health comes first.

Thank you so much for the kind response! I didn't realize I could post updates in there. I'll definitely keep that in mind! I was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and I've been hospitalized several times for it. I get what I consider to be "chest spasms" where my heart rate goes very fast and I get chest pain as well as pain in my arms and shortness of breath. Every time I went to the hospital for it they gave me adenosine (which calms down the heart). They had to administer it TWICE the last time I went to the emergency room for it. It really sucked. I've played the first Zoo Tycoon as a kid and I have a lot of nostalgia for it. I also didn't realize that you could download mods for it until I rediscovered Zoo Tycoon September of last year. In my honest opinion, mods seem to make the game even more fun for me (especially with a lot of animals to choose from and new restaurants!) I'm glad to be in this community and sharing my passion for animals here on Zoo Tek Phoenix. 💕😊

You might want to start a thread here for future updates. Just so you know! And it's nice to see how dedicated you are to zoo building! Have fun! 🐼🐯🦄 And I'm praying for your arrhythmia to get better. 🥺🫀🙏🏻🩷

Hello all! Sorry I haven't been as active as I was on here. I was going through a heart monitor study for SVT (arrythmia) and I also had some other personal life things going on outside of ZT1. I am going to put the new bird zoo on the back burner for now (it's not cancelled!) and hold off on making more zoos until Hawkeye's Australian bird pack is released (super excited about this one). I have completed two zoos recently, one being the Surf 'N' Turf scenario (this one was fun to build!) and one that is themed off of the Pacific Northwest using the Marine Mania 'Islands' map. I'm also planning on making an African and Australian themed zoo in the future using a majority of my African and Australian savannah animals. Even though I already made a smaller African savannah zoo before, I really want to try out the 'Ancient Land's' zoo map and build the ultimate African/Australian hybrid zoo. I feel like my zoo building skills are starting to improve. I've been watching The Checkered Cheetah's/Thunder 55's videos on YouTube to get inspiration and I felt like I've gotten the hang of building amazing yet efficient zoos. 😊❤️

Freaking awesome! I'm excited.

Someone did manage to rip the assets from an unreleased version

I haven´t released my budgie? I´ll release it in some time (now I am quite busy with my real life work, next week I am going on a holiday so I have a lot of things to settle before). So at worst I´ll release it after I return. Budgie + some friends.

Although the budgies would be small they would be so cute, bright yellow and blue. Makes me miss my little blue budgie CoCo.

Will you ever make a budgerigar and cockatiel? I'd love those.

It's fine. I understood what he was doing when you explained the true context. Wiping the counter on idle just made sense to my brain.

I didn't want to animate every single foodstuff with the relevant mimed gestures because it's not one of my strengths yet. But really I just really didn't want to lol. What I ended up trying to do was make a generic "look at me I'm doing things with my hands and *slap on counter* there you go". And if it was real life they'd also be like "the tablet is just going to ask you a quick question." The idle animation is just him looking back and forth. Can be seen in the animated group screen above with all of the stands together.

Oh. I thought he was wiping down the counter.

Finally have an ingame screen! Notice the vendor isn't very idle. The used animation is there in its place just to test.

pan de muertos yeah

Why do I vaguely remember something called "dead bread" from my Spanish tutor days? Is this something one of your huts will be selling? namely pan de muertos?

Hey, great accomplishments can take time... They look fabulous! And I love the stands, first rate.

Made the icons. clearly 8 months worht of work. one per month.

AR made us a very fantastic freshwatercave Did he ever made a saltwater version in the same style? If not could anyone make a saltwater version of it?

ooooh I want thaty too That is an amazing nice color blue you captured for that fence
