Animal Shelter News

[h3]We’re thrilled to celebrate another Halloween together with our community! 👻 We’ve been wondering, how many of you have been with us last year too… 🤔 Let us know in the comments![/h3]







[h3]Following last year, we’ve prepared some really spooky decorations for you to enjoy throughout the entire next week! 🎃 Some of them may look familiar for those of you who were with us the last year, while some are complete novelties. Let’s take a closer look, shall we? 🔎[/h3]


🎃 New, thematic clothes for your pupils
🎃 Changed sky and atmosphere
🎃 Gargoyles by the main entrance to the shelter and the stable from the Horse DLC
🎃 New Halloween decorations to buy
🎃 Wall decorations for some of the buildings, namely:
Building for cats and dogs levels 1-3 from the Vet DLC
Building for horses levels 1-3 from the Vet DLC
🎃 Decorations for the stable from the Horse DLC and more!





Keep in mind that all the placeable thematic decorations which will be placed on the map are marked and will not disappear after this time-limited event! 👍




Head to your shelters if you’re brave enough and don’t forget to share your best Halloween photos from Animal Shelter with us via our discord! 👇




Have a spooky Halloween!
Animal Shelter Team

- Halloween is here!
- All the new Vet buildings got Halloween wall decorations
- Popups get triggered even they taking items from delivery boxes, not only by picking up items from the world
- Corrected clinic popup description and its functionality
- Corrected opening popup for cleaning ears
- Corrected opening X-ray machine popup
- Corrected opening Horse Shelter DLC and Puppies & Kittens DLC popups
- Healing pets popup is now also shown by picking up claw clippers and hoof files
- Improved graphics and corrected position for Halloween decorations
- Humans are not being removed after time countdown if matched pet is now not longer available to match again
- A person matched with an animal for adoption will no longer have a countdown after which they will be removed from the database - this led to the possibility of promising an animal to multiple people and creating a queue of cars that couldn't be removed in any way other than restarting the game
- An animal matched with someone will no longer be available for the player to adopt - the car has already been dispatched to pick up the animal, it cannot be stopped, and the player must learn to live with the consequences of their actions

Changes and additions:
- After promising a pet to someone from the list of people interested in adoption, that person will no longer disappear from the list (after their timer runs out). This, in same cases, could cause that a waiting car would be stuck forever in front of the gate - thus blocking the game until the game was reloaded.

Bug fixes:
- Potential fix for the bug causing the save option to remain locked after completing an animal adoption.
- A series of fixes related to the popup system and the encyclopedia. Some popups were not displayed during the game, and some pages in the encyclopedia were not correctly unlocked - because of this, the "Know-it-all" achievement could not be unlocked. We believe that now the achievement will be possible to obtain.
- Fixed a bug that allowed the player to promise the adoption of a pet to a person from the interested list, and then adopt the pet themselves, thereby blocking their gate with a car waiting for the pet to be handed over.

Changes and additions:
- Infectious diseases will now transmit less aggressively between animals so there should be more time to cure or isolate sick animals.
- Improved visualization of the litterbox hologram during placement and adjusted its position in the player's hand (so the litterbox doesn't obstruct the view as much).
- To avoid save errors that may occur, we've added a very short block on the ability to save the game while an animal is being given up for adoption (from the moment of interaction with the van/carrier until the adoption summary screen is closed).
- The ability to interact with a carrier that is not empty (that is bringing an animal to the shelter) has been disabled while holding another animal that is intended to be adopted out to a new owner. In the case of a mixed queue of cars to the shelter (meaning one or more cars are coming to pick up an animal, and one or more cars are bringing a new animal to the shelter), there was a possibility of bugs in the not-empty carrier in the van when interacting with it while holding an animal that you wanted to adopt out. This would break the carrier with the animal inside and make it impossible to take it out from the transporter.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug that could cause an animal to remain locked as 'Promised for adoption' even when the person it was promised to no longer exists in the database.
- Helpers with the "Caretaker" function have been retrained and should no longer break water and food containers (bowls and troughs). A bug has been removed that sometimes prevented animals from using these containers after they were filled by a helper.
