It's been a while since we released Free DLC (link do poprzedniego postu) and celebrated Animal Shelter's first birthday 🎊a today we'd like to "shed some more light" on the functionalities the game has received throughout development so far!🧐


We’ve noticed that with the increase of available mechanics in the game, it is more and more common for you to miss opportunities and solutions. This makes some problems arise e.g., the possibility of animals escaping from cages, which we added with the previously mentioned DLC 👏.


[h3]Therefore, we decided to make this post that will remind you of some interesting opportunities in the game that you might have missed![/h3]





[h2]Did You Know? : [/h2]

• In our game, there is a possibility to not only to adopt a pet on your own but also you seat it on special pillows 🐶 Thus, the pet can stay with you at least in your office! BUT NOT ONLY THERE🙂 You can find these pillows in the store, in the Deco section 🎀
  
  
  
  
• If you don’t lock the cage doors, animals may escape from them🤭.
  
  
  
  
• If the pets escape and you are unable to find them, you can reset their position using the special button located in the loading menu. 🔴
  
  
  
  
• You can not only unpack parcels with ordered items but also move them. (You can do it with the right mouse button) 📦.
  
  
  
  
• There is a wall in the office where you can attach photos of your pets that you have given out for adoption 💝
  
  
  
  
• You can get to the stable where you take care of the horses which appeared in the game along with the Horse Shelter DLC using the main gate of the shelter 🥅.
  
  
  
  
• To adopt kittens and puppies, you need to put up a specially designed building 🏠.
