Skeletal references in books and museums can also help the rigging team to place the joints on the models correctly, so that the animators can realistically mimic the model's movement."Ĭonservation is becoming a much more important movement as we as humans grapple to protect and care for the endangered and at-risk creatures that span our rich and diverse planet. Where possible we also try to observe the animal's movement in a real-life zoo. Wilkins told me, "We do extensive research into the animal's behaviour, movement, and natural environment to get an idea of how we can authentically represent the species in the game. With such a wide array of creatures available to care for in Planet Zoo today, I asked Wilkins about how Frontier goes about ensuring each animal is accurately represented in-game. Lastly, the Fire Salamander Exhibit Animal was chosen for its unique colouration, temperate exhibit, and so that we could bring a new type of amphibian to the game." The European Badger is so widespread across Europe we felt its iconic stripes couldn't be missing from the pack either. We chose the European Fallow Deer over other deer species for their versatile coat variations and abundance in European wildlife parks (additionally, this was a nice surprise for those of our community, who often try to guess which species are coming). The same goes for the Alpine Ibex, with their magnificent recovery from the brink of extinction in the Italian mountains. "For Planet Zoo: Europe Pack, the Eurasian Lynx was a must have - it's Europe's biggest native wild cat and has been the subject of an exciting rewilding project. "We tend to look at several factors when creating a roster of animals for a new pack, from their popularity in our player base to their conservation status and history, how common they are in captivity, any development challenges they might present, and how they fit within the wider 'Zoopedia' of animals available in Planet Zoo," Wilkins stated. Mark Cox, our art director, has done a wonderful job bringing this all to life."įollowing up to this, I asked Wilkins about the five new animals that were added as part of the pack, and why these five were chosen, as well as if any other creatures were in the running to be included before these five were selected. The result is a versatile and diverse set of scenery pieces that bring the essence of Europe into our players' zoos. Wilkins continued, "In addition to the amazing animals in Planet Zoo: Europe Pack, we wanted to explore the architectural and cultural differences and similarities between the many countries within Europe.
We ended up choosing a roster of native European fauna that we are confident will be fascinating to players no matter where they are from." "With many members of the team being from Europe, we wanted to ensure that we represented animals and landscapes that we're used to seeing every day in a way that makes them feel extraordinary and unique.
"As with all of the game's DLC packs, Planet Zoo: Europe Pack was one that we discussed in a lot of detail before development began," said Wilkins. Build them wonderful habitats, dedicate time to meeting their needs, and help them live their best lives amongst ideal surroundings.To start with, I asked Wilkins about what led to choosing Europe as the focal point of the latest DLC Pack, considering there had previously been the North America, Southeast Asia, and Africa Packs.
