Animal Shelter 2 News

[h2]Hello Animal Caretakers! 😽[/h2]

Little Friends DLC is releasing in few minutes, 🎉 but this is not the end of good news. We want to improve the game for all the players of Animal Shelter 2, so we are rolling out a huge major update!

Another chapter in the story, another set of improvements, all thanks to your feedback! 🔥

[h3]🐈Let's get to what has arrived:[/h3]

Animal poses during photo mode! You can now assign a pose to your pet while making photo! The pet will hold the pose for 10–15 seconds or until a photo is taken.
Pet dialogue interactions: players can now talk to their pets and tell them a few kinds words. They need to know who is the best boy!
Loading screen tips added to remind players of core and secondary mechanics that are often overlooked or forgotten.
Additional improvements to NPC and pet movement.
Ability to mount heaters on walls.
Improvements to the adoption process (e.g. adopters now arrive with a leash to improve overall flow).
Improved adoption process clarity, including better visual feedback on adoption progress.
Improvements to item placement and storage.
Fixes and improvements to unintended interactions, such as animals or workers accidentally knocking over items and decorations
Additional visual updates to the park and locations during in-game winter and autumn.
AI and pet senses improvements: pets now detect their surroundings more effectively, with clearer feedback to players about what pets notice.
Expanded encyclopedia with diseases, perks, and detailed animal breed information.
Improvements to particle effects (e.g. shampoo).
Introduction of wet wipes for cleaning sphynx cats and small kittens.

We would love to hear more of what you think about the update after playing and more of what you would like to see in the future! Each person giving feedback gives us a ton of information and a lot of improvements we make in the updates are based on what you say! 😍

[h3]Dear Players,[/h3]

We’re aware that some of you are experiencing issues with co-op mode in Animal Shelter 2. We're truly sorry for the trouble.

This was caused by last night’s Steam breakdown, which affected connections with our game. We’re currently working together with Steam to resolve it as quickly as possible.

We’ll keep you updated as we make progress, and we really appreciate your patience and support.

Thank you for sticking with us! 💛
Animal Shelter 2 Team

[h3]Christmas and New Year are in front of us, so we'd like to wish you and your best furry friends luck that lasts forever, to be surrounded by people (nonhuman too) you love and to be able to play and have fun with anything you want in peace! ❤️‍

May your time during those holidays be full of joyful barks and meows filled with love! 😻[/h3]

Thank you for being with us throughout the journey and during the release of Animal Shelter 2 and let's keep going for another year! 🎆🎇[/h3]
