Tourists & star system

Dear ZooKeepers!




[h3]No matter how much we love animals and want to provide them with every comfort. In order to stock the zoo brilliantly with great food or attractions for the animals, funds are needed. The funds will be provided by tourists. A satisfied tourist means better care and comfort for the animals. Take care of the visitors and your Zoo will be unique.[/h3]



[h3]Tickets and expectations[/h3]
No ticket = no fun. Buy or bye. Every tourist visiting our zoo starts their adventure by buying a ticket. The price of the ticket depends on the current level of development of the zoo. To increase the level of development of the zoo, click on its gate and then use the panel that appears on the screen.
“Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.” Every Zookeeper's problem is that tourists expect a lot. We need to meet and even exceed their expectations. Every tourist in our game has specific expectations of what they would like to see in the zoo, so it is important to take care of the diversity of species. This will allow you to meet all the expectations of visitors which brings us extra rewards.



[h3]VIP Tourist and happenings[/h3]
Every day there is a chance that a special quest will visit our zoo. The VIPs require more attention to fulfill their wishes, but they are quite wealthy, so we want them to be as happy as possible with their visit, which will lead to faster development of the zoo.
To properly prepare for a VIP visit, it would be best to have a least two different species of animals in the habitats and some infrastructure.
While playing from time to time a special quest will appear. You will need to gather a few tourists and employees in one place for a special lecture. It can be done by using drag and drop. After setting them up in the highlighted place and when the time is up, the quest will start, completing itself after a few hours.



[h3]Star System and prestige[/h3]
There are 3 star quests in each zoo. Completing them is rewarded with stars. A certain number of stars unlocks sculpture decorations, which provide permanent prestige bonuses and can be purchased almost for free.
The prestige grows with each fulfilled tourist's wish (by 1) and decreases with each unsuccessful one (by 2). The prestige level affects the number of tourists in the zoo and allows you to raise the level of the zoo center, which unlocks more expensive tickets and additional items for purchase. There is a prestige cap for each level of the zoo center. Once you reach it you can buy the next level and earn more prestige points.
The prestige adds a little challenge to the game. The more prestige you have, the more tourists will visit your zoo.



[h3]Sculptures[/h3]
In ZooKeeper, there are some hidden prizes (sculptures of the most valuable species) that you can obtain by collecting stars. Each purchased sculpture permanently raises the reputation level by 1 point. However, remember that in one zoo you can have only one sculpture of a given type.

[h3]If you haven't already spotted it on our Steam page, we have a date for the opening of our zoo. ZooKeeper is coming in just 2 weeks on August 18th this year. Be ready![/h3]

Zoo's finest

Dear ZooKeepers!




[h3]If animals are the heart of the zoo, the personnel must be its soul. If you're determined to have a flourishing zoo, it's worth taking a moment to familiarize yourself with the possibilities ZooKeeper provides.[/h3]


[h3]Personnel management[/h3]
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." The better staff you hire in ZooKeeper the easier the zoo management is going to be. Employees can largely deal with the zoo on their own, but you can manage their activities by giving them personal instructions. It's easier than you think. Just right-click on the task objective and then select a command from the list.



[h3]Levels[/h3]
No one is the same, everyone is unique in their own way. Nor is everyone perfect. Every employee has their own levels, which increase when doing any activity. In the left bottom corner of the employee icon, you'll find its current level.
Clicking the employee icon will result in opening skill points distributing window. It is used to learn skills, which increase the productivity of that specific worker in many different ways. The higher the price of the employee, the more skills he has available to learn.



[h3]Fees[/h3]
If you are good at something, don't do it for free - that's a golden rule of most businesses. It is no different here. In ZooKeeper you will have a panel where you will hire, fire, and manage your employees. To open the panel just click the suitcase icon. There you can view all the information about the staff and hire them. In the case of employees, you should always pay attention to the number of paid days. If it is approaching 0, you should pay for the next with the pay button. The bonus button allows you to instantly store up energy.



[h3]Energy[/h3]
We know that energy costs are quite high these days, but we want to familiarize you with a different kind of energy - staff's energy. Every employee has an energy bar that shows their willingness to perform specific tasks. Let's take for instance the red color. It suggests that employee needs to rest. If this condition continues for a long time, they may leave their jobs or be even attacked by aggressive animals.
In order to increase the energy of your staff, you can send them to the employee yard for a break. On top of that, you can pay them bonuses that will definitely cheer them up.

[h2]Now you know a bit more about people working in the zoo. Think about how to get the most out of your employees so that they are not overworked, gushing with energy that will result in more happy visitors to your zoo.?[/h2]
