Update: 1.0.69 is live, up from 1.0.54 when I last posted here. What changed:
- Every animal is redrawn, at twice the size and from photos. Costumes on rare variants are drawn pieces now (a helmet that fits the head, a hanbok with a collar and a red skirt) instead of paint over the body.
- Catches land harder: a longer freeze, tier-coloured sparks and screen edges, and a small card for every catch. Catching 3, 5, 8, 12 and 15 animals brings rewards.
- Every species card has a line in Grandfather's hand at the bottom ("Over 90% of the world's water deer live on the Korean Peninsula.").
- From 20 species his survey notebook opens: tracks and feathers lead you to the rarer animals, and there are four habitat pages to fill.
- The ferry ticket isn't sold anymore. It comes with his last letter, once the eight endangered animals are on the island, so the shelter and the island are part of the chapter instead of something you skip past.
- A new species' first pen is free, and money goes into upgrading pens. Early knockouts cost 10% of your money and you keep your catches.
- The zoo drawer sits beside the zoo instead of on top of it.
Two of you told me the loop starts to repeat fairly early (around the tenth catch for one, twenty minutes for the other), because every animal is caught the same way. That's what I'm on now: giving species their own tricks, starting with waterside birds, animals that climb trees and animals that charge.
Same question as always: where does it get boring now?
