All My Zoos; Currently ► A.R.C. Update ◄

This show and tell has been through a lot.
Okay, so I'll start from the beginning? :)

First I started this S&T on ZTV in 2007. and it has been growing into one of the most massive S&T's of all time. Up until yesterday on ZTV it had over 1 500 replies and more than 30 000 views. On Caldera it was a lesser success as it was introduced to it a month ago, but it already got up to 1 500 views and around 200 replies (I don't remember exactly).

Now I'm bringing it to Environ, hopefully you'll like it as much as the rest of the Zoo Tycoon 2 community did.

The first update will be posted after awhile (but today) as I need to get new pictures to get you into the story. In this update you'll be getting only the overview, the in game overview...

... and a short description.

All My Zoos is a show and tell which gathers up all of my zoos, literally like the title says. It's mostly famous not for it's ideas or a beautiful structure, but for the pictures. As I take photographs in real life, taking it in a game is not a problem. And people really compliment this S&T's photos the most.

All My Zoos best know zoo is the Animal Rehabilitation Center, or better known as the A.R.C., and many members claimed to be fans but that they just didn't post :D (please, don't be like them and freely post away, hahaha).

The A.R.C. is a 32 year old zoo (in game years, no kidding, it really is), but it first got to 15 years and then I got a new computer and had to restart the A.R.C., and now I can proudly say that it's reached it's 17th year, so all together it's a 32 year old zoo. I'm still messing around it's coding to find where years can be edited, to make it truly a 32 year old zoo. The A.R.C. zoo has won 95% of the awards that you can win in ZT2. The missing ones are the donation ones and the 20th Anniversary award, on which we're closing in rapidly.

The A.R.C. has three species that are permanent residents of it. For my real life 13th birthday the members of ZTV "gave" two Okapies (Arnie and Esther) and two Przewalski Wild Horses (Lightstarter and Sunshine) (I will call them PWH's most of the time) and they're now here for a looooong time. The third species is a Mustang named Grim, but because of the fact that we lack the wish that he has any foals in the A.R.C. with any female we could bring him, he's in Komori Miharu's Brinestone Park (a map of hers) for the time being.

As well, we have many different facilities you'll meet over time, and I sometimes download other zoos to play around with them. Our close affiliate at this time is the already mentioned Brinestone Park and many others. One member (Kinka) sent a rescue facility of his own to us, the I.S.W.R.C. (Injured or Sick Wildlife Rescue Center) which I don't show around much but it is a part of the A.R.C. now.

The A.R.C. isn't the only zoo I'll be presenting, but many, many others, so if you don't like the A.R.C. story just check back after awhile to see an update on a different zoo!

From time to time we need the help of interns/scrubs/assistants (how ever you want to call them) so we recently developed a program to add members to the story. Our current helpers are Komori Miharu and Maple Syrup ^^ Soon they'll be leaving (yes, I haven't told them yet) so they'll open up spaces for other people.

I hope you will enjoy this Show and Tell like many people did, and that you'll be frequent posters. You know what they say - the more posts, the more inspiration. No, really, don't be lazy ^^

Well, some time ago I started a zoo which was truly a zoo, with guests and all.
Before 10 minutes I finally finished it, and it's a full map.
Here's the overview from the map export option:

And here's the overview from the game:

Well, as I planned this zoo to be up for download I'll probably put it up after I check which downloads have been used
Because MANY have been used and I have to provide links to all of them so that you can play it. :unsure:

More pictures coming soon.

I hope so too.
Though I'll probably release two versions - with and without animals, so that the players can choose their own animals in the exhibits.

All the presentation pictures have been taken, they're in post processing currently :)

This S&T never gets old to me. I always enjoyed looking at ARC and yet again, I have been amazed by the pictures. :)
Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

@ The Lone Master > The previous pictures weren't the A.R.C., it was the newest zoo I've built :) A.R.C.'s update pictures will be taken within a few minutes, and posted tomorrow.

@ Maple Syrup > I know. I've really taken care of the first part and then went slightly offside the upper part :anger: I didn't have the nerves to finish it up properly, but it turned out well.

TODAY you'll all be able to download the zoo shown previously (the big fancy one) but without all the downloads listed. So you'll have some things missing unless we have the same downloads (hopefully we do).
Check back in a few minutes to PurebloodMaps to get it while it's fresh :P

Well then you can download it right away. It's been put up. The only issue now is that MediaFire is playing stupid again and none of the downloads seem to be available anymore, so tomorrow I'll head onto replacing broken links with working ones... :unsure:
