addedNew BiomesThe big addition here is water exhibits with 3 new biomes: Beach, Lagoon, and Photic. Unlike our previous exhibits that are morphed by “Wetness” and “Mountainous”, water exhibits are morphed by water depth and heat!

changedSee through wallYou can see through the walls of above-ground exhibits! This might seem like a no-brainer, but it was quite complicated to pull off for a variety of reasons, a big one being performance. Well worth it though:

addedVeterinarian HelmetsOf course, you could not expect our veterinarians to fill up food containers and take care of the new sea monsters without an underwater breathing apparatus. While yes – there is an old-school scuba helmet one can unlock – we provide this automatically whenever a vet goes underwater.

The plan is to make Sea Monsters available simultaneously with the next Parkasaurus update. Our aim is to have this out the door soon!

Today I’ll just focus on some fun facts about the Sea Monster DLC itself:

New Biomes
See-through wall
Water doors
Veterinarian Helmets

New Biomes

The big addition here is water exhibits with 3 new biomes: Beach, Lagoon, and Photic. Unlike our previous exhibits that are morphed by “Wetness” and “Mountainous”, water exhibits are morphed by water depth and heat!

See through wall

You can see through the walls of above-ground exhibits! This might seem like a no-brainer, but it was quite complicated to pull off for a variety of reasons, a big one being performance. Well worth it though:

Water doors

You might find yourself losing a lot of water from your above-ground water exhibits. This might be because you’re not using a water door! Using a normal door results in a slow leak. Water physics for the win!

Veterinarian Helmets

Of course, you could not expect our veterinarians to fill up food containers and take care of the new sea monsters without an underwater breathing apparatus. While yes – there is an old-school scuba helmet one can unlock – we provide this automatically whenever a vet goes underwater.

More upcoming for sure!

Remember: Please Wishlist our DLC!, it helps!
