I was incredibly excited when Planet Zoo 2 was first announced. I’m long past being aggravated by the modern gaming cycle—the one that requires us to buy dozens of expansions to fully realise a game. That’s just how developers survive these days. They need to keep...
I needed to increase the number of habitat species in the Bernie Goodwin Memorial Zoo to finally smash past the Bronze Medal stage of the scenario. I decided to go with a lemur habitat for a few great reasons: Double the market: There are two different types of lemurs...
I genuinely thought I’d thought of this myself—a truly genius idea to make my gameplay more immersive, I reckoned—until I decided to write about it and discovered that it’s already “A Thing.” It’s called a Forever Save file. It is a single, ongoing save...
