Here's a WIP of the entrance for my current zoo in planet zoo!!

#bug talks #planet zoo #im building it from scratch so I built a building set to speed things up a bit #still not finished got more detail to add so feel free to suggest things if you have any ideas

Still a WIP because I've been building a zoo in Planet Zoo, but I think I've settled on this for the exterior...mostly. Eh.

I ended up lowering the roof pitch and using awnings to sort of disguise that the second-floor windows are shorter than I'd like them to be. I always forget that awnings exist. Lowering the roof pitch ruined my idea of it having a third-floor attic where I could put witchy stuff, but maybe that'll work out on a different lot. As usual, I'm foiled by the goddamn roofs in this game. I hate them.

I wanted to build a park that was inspired by like, top-down isometrics and the older park builders like zoo tycoon, where the focus is as much (more even) on the player’s experience looking down than on the actual guest view then I made the lab and gave it a full interior, so. oops

Videogames I wish were real #59

A game where you run a wildlife sanctuary for magical creatures. You can build and decorate the habitats of each animal however you want (while always keeping their needs in mind). Some magical creatures have a very specific diet, so you have a small farm in the sanctuary where you cultivate the special plants you use to make their kibble. Your house is also in the wildlife sanctuary, and sometimes you cook in your kitchen the favorite dish of a creature to celebrate a special occasion. Shortly after you started the wildlife sanctuary, you started posting pictures of the animals online. Posting cute pictures of dragons and unicorns every once in a while helps to get the word out about the sanctuary. However, the wellbeing of the magical creatures is your main priority so visitor tours are very limited, which is why most of the income of the sanctuary comes from the physical and online store where you sell chimera keychains, jackalope plushies and all kinds of merchandise.

sonoran-inspired zoo i've been working on.... this courtyard has all the staff buildings and a fairly private habitat for some oryxes (or is it just oryx?)

#i like using the staff areas as a way to knock out a color palette for the rest of everything #gonna make some generic rest areas and stuff next before i start actually building much of anything #zero plays planet zoo

why did i decide to make a window by hand

does anyone recommend any games on steam for a beginner? i dont know what i like so im open to any genre of suggestions

#my gaming knowledge is sims / spyro / crash bandicoot / sonic #honestly have no idea what i wanna play i just appreciate nice graphics n like to press buttons lmao 💀 #the one thing i *do* really wanna play would be bloodlines 2 or coral island #however bloodlines 2 still isn't out yet and i backed coral island on switch when that was all i had n the developers haven't released it #and i refuse to buy it on steam when i've already technically bought it #also the part of me that loves building in sims wants zoo planet but it looks like it has a million expansions n i don't wanna spend that- #-amount of money yet until i've kinda decided i'll keep playing #alsooo the time is 1. bc im sick n can't leave my house and 2. my 1tb external hard drive is almost full and sims takes up a lot of my pc- #-so i bought i new 5tb external hard drive and figured i could store some games on there and give them a go #timing**

A big graphic fresque for my peafowls aviary. It was a lot of work, but so worthwhile ! It's so beautiful to see in game !

planet zoo is great of course but it would be better if animals could eat the guests and each other. I want to recreate my zoo tycoon 2 gladiatorial panther pit.

#I dug a pit and lined the sides with small cages which I filled with angry panthers #the guests would go down into the pit to view them #then when enough were down there I walled off the entrance of the pit and deleted the walls of the panther cages #chaos #also of course the 'wildlife park' thing where you could have a fully functioning ecosystem with no food items #because the herbivores could graze and the carnivores could kill and eat other animals #I do appreciate planet zoo as a more realistic simulator but sometimes #sometimes realism is not what I want #I kind of want zt2 gameplay with pz graphics/building potential #also I would like extinct animals

One of the goddamned barns. LOL

The front of it is, unfortunately always in shadow until late in the day which, since this zoo is in the taiga biome (That is, far enough north/south that it's just a bit warmer than tundra), is pretty dark already. So I chose an unfortunate side of the reindeer habitat to place the barn, but the other side already had a viewing platform, sooooo... At least the second pic of the side will give you a better idea of the colors and details and such. The rocks on the left side of the front of the building are temporary, just there to hold the reindeer in until I get things finalized.

I'm going to use this kind of simple, modern style with lots of glass, medium-dark wood, black trim in gridded shapes, black roof, and corrugated metal cladding throughout all buildings in the zoo, to keep things cohesive. It's a bit of bahhaus inspiration, I guess, with the glass and the black gridded trim. I just like the clean lines of it, and I think it goes well with the biome.

This building includes hard shelter with some stalls for the reindeer, though they'll just lay anywhere within the area of the building that the barriers allow them in, so stalls I'm building are just deco, really.

Here's one of the ladies checking things out at a very early stage in the building before I put in the floor and when I was going to use metal girder trim instead of wood beams. I guess she wasn't impressed, since she decided to poop in there. LOL Thanks, Astrid!

Anyway, the habitat gate where the staff goes in and out of the habitat is incorporated into the building, and there's also a keeper hut for food prep and a water treatment machine, which I use because I prefer natural-looking water in non-desert habitats rather than artificial troughs and water bowls and such. The treatment machine keeps all water within a radius of the machine clean, so animals won't get sick from drinking dirty water. It's an expensive machine when you're just starting out, but for me and the naturalistic approach I prefer, it's worth it.

I did this backwards, though. Usually, I build the hard shelter first and then build the habitat. But, I started out messing around sculpting the habitat out of an existing slope, so then I had to put in the barn afterward, which makes it more difficult. Always better to do any buildings first, if a habitat is going to have one.

Here's the guest view into the habitat:

Still lots of detailing with plants and rocks and stuff to do. Also, the wood log barrier is going to go, eventually. I'll probably switch it out for glass with some rock cladding, to make it look more natural and blended with the rest of the barrier, as well as to continue the glass theme.
