Animal Shelter News

Changes and additions:
- Christmas event returns!
- Players who do not own Puppies and Kittens DLC will no longer see potential adopters looking to adopt puppies or kittens in their adoption request list.
- Recognizing that some players faced challenges in locating the Medical Chart - a new feature introduced in the Vet Clinic DLC - we've now added an extra tooltip. This tooltip is grouped with other contextual action tooltips and emerges when you hover over an animal, offering clear instructions on how to access the Medical Chart.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug that caused the dog to sometimes not detach properly from the leash. The leash remained connected to the dog (even after being put down on the ground) and could not be removed from the inventory bar.
- When a player adopts a pet and then the pet is taken away due to neglect, the game should now correctly register that the pet has been taken and allow the player to adopt another pet.
- Resolved issues with the in-game cameras: Previously, effects such as exposure and saturation were not functioning correctly. They should now work as intended, allowing for better photography of your shelter animals.

- Halloween even has ended :(
- Fixed new translation issues (and more to come)

[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!

- 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
