What has changed? AS1 vs AS2 Prologue

[h2]Hello Animal Lovers! 👋[/h2]

We're thrilled to announce that Animal Shelter 2 Prologue is just around the corner with a release date set for September 13th! 🎉

To get you ready for the big day, we’ve put together a list of exciting new features and improvements that set it apart from the original *Animal Shelter*. We can’t wait for you to dive into the game and experience all the amazing changes! 🐾





🌟 All-new graphics
The visuals have been significantly upgraded, especially for the animals, who now look more realistic and adorable than ever before!

🏠 Enhanced shelter customization
While you can no longer move buildings, you now have much more control over customizing your existing shelter. Change walls, ceilings, floors, and even expand some rooms to suit your needs!

👥 Other characters
Meet NPC workers and adopters who visit your shelter. This brings a new layer of interaction and managing people around you.

🤝 CO-OP mode
Yes, you heard that right! Animal Shelter 2 Prologue introduces multiplayer co-op mode, so you can run the shelter with your friends or alone!

🚑 External services
Need a special treatment for an animal? Now you can send them outside the shelter for surgeries or treatments, adding more depth to the care management system.

🗺️ 2D world map
Explore the world outside the shelter! Use the new 2D map to discover events, activities, and interventions waiting for you and your animals.

🚓 Intervention missions
Now you can personally go on rescue missions, entering different locations to help animals in need. These locations are partially procedurally generated, so each visit offers a new experience.

🐶 Puppies and kittens included
No more waiting for DLC! Puppies and kittens are available from the start in Animal Shelter 2 Prologue, ready to melt your heart.

🐕 Your own pet
You can now have a personal pet that follows you around the shelter, keeping you company as you manage your daily tasks.

📝 More advanced mission system
In Animal Shelter 2 Prologue, the missions are more complex and varied.

🧠 Improved animal AI
Animals in the game are now more realistic. They have their own behaviors, needs, and desires. They interact with other animals and might show unwanted behaviors that you'll need to correct, making animal care more demanding.

🩺 More involved animal care
Caring for animals in Animal Shelter 2 Prologue goes beyond just physical needs. You’ll also need to manage mental and behavioral issues before the animals are ready for adoption. Every pet requires a unique approach, adding depth to the gameplay.

🌗 Day and night cycle
The game now features a dynamic day and night system, which not only changes the aesthetics of the shelter but also affects daily tasks.

📱 Tablet replaces the camera
You no longer need a separate camera to take photos. All images and documents are now managed through a tablet, which serves as your "command center" in the shelter, simplifying the management process.

💉 Expanded healing system
The healing system is now more detailed. Some animals will require long-term treatments, while others might need specialized care outside the shelter. You may also encounter animals with chronic health issues that require ongoing management while they stay in your care.

👵 Older animals
The game now includes older animals, which have their own unique traits. They may tire faster, require more care, and can be harder to adopt out. These elderly pets add a new level of challenge to shelter management.

👗 Animals can wear clothes and decorations
You can now dress your animals in clothes and decorations not only during photoshoots but anytime. This adds a personal touch to the shelter, making it even more unique and heartwarming.

🐾 DLC features from the original game are now included in the base game
Features such as walking animals on leashes, using the tablet for management, and animals running freely around the shelter are now part of the base game. You can also place animals anywhere in the shelter, not just in designated spots as in the first game.

🧹 Better shelter cleaning system
The cleaning system has been improved.

🎁 More perks and new features
The game introduces other smaller yet important improvements like the auto-disappearance of empty delivery boxes, new gameplay-impacting perks, and overall adoption system improvements.
