Carnotaurus

What can we say? There are already more Theropods in the game than any other dino family but the Call for the Carno (C4C) was too strong. Of course, getting your hands on a Carnotaurus is no easy feat in regular play. What will your adult Carno look like? And more importantly, what sort of sun protection will they have? Be sure to share with us.

Hats!!!

SO MANY HATS. Here is the thing, you won’t find them in the store. What?! You need to get a shovel, and, some real cash flow, to dig into the depths of the Earth. New hats will only be available from Hat Treasure Boxes found when digging in the portal. Hopefully, someone out there will create an exhaustive list of the new hats added (hint: there are 12).

Doors

Even we have to agree that only have 1 boring Wooden Door was getting old. Since you’re all a creative bunch we wanted to give you some options on cooler ways to let employees enter the exhibits.

Decoration System Overhaul

The present Decoration System in the game was not particularly interesting and truthfully was never given the time it deserved. Now strategically placing your decorations matter. Your guests enter your park with a value of 0 for their Decoration meter. This meter slowly fills as they are surrounded by your awesome park extras. How can you tell what your park decorations look like? Well, turn on the Decoration Heatmap View found on the bottom left. Note, Tier 2 decorations need to be researched and bought in order to max out your guest’s decoration meters.

Portal Overhaul

The portal has received some love. A few highlights:

• Auto-Dig added (but at a price!)
• Select how deep into the portal you’d like to go; the deeper the better rewards!
• Choose a portal team from a list of your employees
• Portal rewards – now find Hat Boxes, Science, and Hearts along with the original rewards!

Economy Balancing

This no doubt will be a contentious change. But our community is so amazing I look forward to hearing their feedback. Remember when money was really easy to make? We’ve been analyzing data from our great PTR volunteers and now challenge you to the new balanced Parkasaurus Economy! For those of you less interested in having to balance the books and would rather focus on creativity – don’t worry you can still make a Customized game.

Guest Meters

A more subtle change involves the guest meters. You’ll note that the energy meter has been pulled out of what contributes to your guest’s overall happiness. Now keeping your guests energized is an important aspect of keeping them in the park. By doing this we were able to remove the “decaying” that occurred with the remaining meters; something that was anxious inducing (for me) and also resulted in your guests draining their meters while walking to their cars at the end of the day – thereby lowering park scores & review stars.

News moving forward

Again – huge thanks to the early supporters and everyone who has written a Steam review for us. Next on the horizon:
