Dev Log #6 - Alpha Demo Launch!

Alpha Demo Launch

Todays update is the shortest but the best, it's the release of the demo version of the game! I'm so excited for a wider range of people to try out the Alpha Demo version of the game and provide feedback. In this version, all of the below features will be available: 

• Animal Management: Create and care for a variety of animals, including feeding, and tending to their habitats.
• Zoo Construction: Build and customize your zoo with various enclosures, visitor centers, and amenities.
• NPCs: Interact with zoo visitors, fulfilling their requests and maintaining their happiness.
• Amenities: Create a variety of amenities to cater to NPCs
• Employment: Hire caretakers to help out clean and manage your zoo. 
  
• Resource Management: Manage resources like food and money to ensure your zoo's success.

Since this isn't the final product, there are some known issues: 

• Limited Animal Variety: The alpha demo features a smaller selection of animals than the full game.
• Simplified Gameplay: Some gameplay mechanics may be less complex in the alpha demo.
• Potential Bugs and Glitches: Due to the early development stage, there may be unexpected issues.
• Graphics and Sound: Some graphics and/or sounds will be enhanced before the final product. 

There's going to be many more features that are in the pipeline to come in the near future, such as: 

• Additional NPCs: Introduce new characters like horticulturists, zookeepers, and janitors to assist with zoo operations.
• Petting Zoo: Create a designated area where visitors can interact with friendly animals in a hands-on experience.
• Bird Enclosure: Build aviaries to house a variety of bird species, each with their own unique needs and behaviors.
• Aquariums: Design and maintain underwater habitats for marine life, featuring various fish, reptiles, and invertebrates.
• Dinosaur Park: Add a prehistoric theme to your zoo with dinosaur exhibits, featuring realistic models and interactive elements.
