Animal Shelter 2 News

[h2] It’s time for another monthly devlog! 🔥 [/h2]

[h3]Today, we’ll give you some insight into what’s to come in the following Animal Shelter 2 Devlogs. Interested in hearing more? Let’s dig into it![/h3]

One of the first topics- a well-known feature for all of the Animal Shelter 1 players is none other than the adoption announcements of the animals living in your shelter. As you can remember, you could’ve posted cute pictures of your animals once they’re well-fed, clean, healthy and happy. 😺

In Animal Shelter 2 this process will be similar BUT… there will be some new factors making this entire process more complex and that’s what we’ll talk about in the next devlog. 👍


Second feature we’ll be discussing in more detail is the shelter upgrading system 🔨 and all the activities which will allow you to personalize the place. We’d like to talk about it because this function has been modernized in comparison to Animal Shelter 1.

Currently, the shelter can grow through expanding the 🏠 buildings and structures and increasing its prestige ⭐ but you can’t forget about the looks of the place. Keeping it clean or painting the walls are only some of the things you can do to make things look more interesting! All the customization fans can look forward to this devlog as it’ll shed more light on this topic! 🔥


Finally, the third devlog will talk about interventions. As you can remember this is one of the options of how an animal can end up in your shelter. 🐕

Once an animal in need is spotted, you’ll receive an information about it on your tablet. You’ll be able to get to the area via car and once you get there you’ll find the animal waiting for the rescue! We’ll get into more details as the time for this devlog comes but we’ve got some nice surprises for you. 😜

We encourage you to look forward to the upcoming devlogs where you’ll learn more about the aforementioned features! Don’t forget to join our discord and add the game to your wishlist on Steam to get notified about any information we post as soon as it appears on Steam! 🤩

See you soon,

Before we dig into the actual devlog, we need to inform you that today’s topic- the in-game animals will be split into two parts because of the sheer amount of information we’d like to cover. 📝

Today, we’ll talk about what animals will make their appearance in Animal Shelter 2, what are the ways of acquiring them to your shelter, their preferences and adoption. In part 2, likely in 1 to 3 months time, we’ll tell you more about their health, possible health issues, means of treatment and what impact on animals and their future owners chronic diseases will have. 🤯 As you can see, there’s a lot to talk about so without further ado, let’s dig into it! 🤩


For quite some time you’ve been expressing just how much you want to have not only the cute, lively puppies and kittens 🐈 as alternative to the adult animals but also older, calmer senior animals. Today we’re happy to officially confirm- in Animal Shelter 2 there will be animals of all ages! 🔥


[h3]Animals in your shelter 🐶[/h3]
As we’ve already mentioned, there are multiple ways the animals can arrive in your shelters. Recently, we’ve described the most common one- sending a rescue car via your tablet. This is the mechanic that players who took part in the Playtest are familiar with. 🙂 Another way is to carry out an intervention. There are multiple different causes for an intervention like for example a kitten stuck in some place like a drain.



Once the animal arrives at your shelter it will require their own private space. Just as it happens in Animal Shelter 1, the animals are hungry and thirsty after arrival so don’t forget to show them some love and feed them well. Some belly scratches afterwards wouldn’t go unnoticed as well. ❤️‍

At this point, there are some additional activities which would be reasonable to do as soon as possible. One of those is taking a blood sample for a check up. After all, a neglected animal is likely to have a disease of some sort and it’s only for the best when it receives the medical attention it needs as soon as possible. 👍

[h3]Every animal which lives in your shelter, whether it’s an energetic youngster, adult or senior, will have their preferences in many aspects such as favorite toy, the best petting spot or food. 🥫[/h3]
By following those preferences you’ll receive bonus points to the animal's respective status meters. For example, playing with a doggo using its favorite toy will make its fun status rise quicker. 🐕 And while ignoring this little piece of information while playing does not bring any negative consequences,

it’s very important to keep a close track of all the animals’ feeding preferences because feeding an animal food other than the preferred one may lead to some diseases- usually because of their food allergies. 😿


[h3]Adoption 👱[/h3]
As you might have already guessed, the chance for an animal to get adopted quickly will be impacted by various factors. The most important one being the age. Usually kittens and puppies will be able to find new homes much quicker than the senior animals, who’ll need more time before finding their new carrying owners.

Another important factor altering the chances of adoption are the chronic diseases but if you’re interested in this topic you’ll have to look forward to part 2 because this is the end of today’s devlog.

Welcome back to the new devlog from our Shelter! We’re excited to be able to see you again and today, we’d like to show you a tool which some of you may already know from Animal Shelter 1- the tablet. 🖥️ In Animal Shelter 2, on top of the well-known functions there will be some novelties so let’s take a look at it’s functionalities, shall we?

[h3]Map 🗺️[/h3]
This functionality will have significant, not to say fundamental importance during your gameplay because using it will allow you to pick up animals which will end up in your shelters. 🐶 You’ll be able to either remotely send a car or even go personally to find the place this animal got stuck in and rescue it! 🤩


[h3]Shelter managing 👉[/h3]
In the previous part, the building function was in a different game level than a tablet. Currently, we’ve implemented this system in the tablet to make developing your shelters easier. 👍 This tab will allow you to inspect the condition of each individual room (are there any trash to take out, is it decorated well, etc.). On top of that, it’ll allow you to buy/sell/move cages, manage your employees and even change the name of your shelter! 👱


[h3]Animal list 📝[/h3]
List of all animals currently living in the shelter and information about each of them. This system will be a familiar tab for all Animal Shelter 1 players but with a new, refreshed graphics. 🙂


[h3]Shop 💰[/h3]
Also, a well-known tab, in which you’ll operate all the shopping activities! 💲 Purchase everything your shelter might need to function properly. Keep in mind that more items will be available as you progress with your shelter!


[h3]Image gallery 🖼️[/h3]
A tab where all the pictures of your cute animals will be stored! ❤️‍ Use them well to create incredible adoption announcements that will catch the future owners attention!


[h3]Camera 📷[/h3]

That’s right! In Animal Shelter 2 the camera is a function of your tablet! 🔥 This will free an extra space in your inventory and make the tablet an even more helpful and versatile accessory! 💪

[h3]History of notifications ❗[/h3]
In this tab, you’ll be able to check all the notifications in case you don’t remember if you’ve tended to all the important events in your shelter! 📝

[h3]Reputation and shelter ranking 🥇[/h3]
Check the popularity of your shelter and earn prizes as you rise in the rankings! 🤩

[h3]Additional functions 🖌️[/h3]
On top of all those important functions you’ll have a few small perks:
-change wallpaper to make the tablet look the way you like,
-quotes, a word of wisdom for every day on the job,
-clock,
-control the in-game music- radio stations from AS1 and AS2.

See you soon,
Animal Shelter 2 Team

We’re thrilled to welcome you to the 2nd devlog from Animal Shelter 2! Today, we’d like to talk about another feature which was frequently mentioned and asked for and it’s the ☀️ day&night 🌑 cycle. As we’ve already explained, due to the limitations of the game’s code, we weren’t able to implement this feature before but with the Animal Shelter 2 that’s not an issue anymore.


[h3]Today, we’ll explain this system in more detail and give you examples of its impact on other in-game mechanics! 🔥 We’ve got a lot to talk about so let’s take a look, shall we?[/h3]

[h3]👱 Employees[/h3]
As we’ve already announced, the game will offer you a possibility to hire workers helping you to take care of daily activities at your shelter. Their help is available only during the day because when the shift is over, they’re heading home to have some rest and prepare for the following day! 👍

[h3]➕ Curing Animals[/h3]
A change also occurs in the process of tending to sick animals. With the introduction of day and night cycle the time animals need to get well will be slightly longer than in the Animal Shelter 1. On top of that, treatments will require giving medicine every few hours at fixed intervals, once a day etc. in order to help your animals get better. 🐶

[h3]🚶 Adoption[/h3]
This brings us to one more significant change- even if you decide to stay at the shelter for night because of the treatment of a particular animal, before it gets well you’ll not be able to arrange any adoption meetings for this animal before it gets well.

[h3]🐱 Animals[/h3]
Finally, the Animals. Your cute pupils will also not stay indifferent to the passage of time. Because of the fact that during the night the only personnel allowed to stay at the shelter is the owner, the animals will require to be taken care of in the morning. Fill in their food and water bowls, clean up the enclosures and give them some love and affection to shake off the lonely night. Don’t worry, the employees will also come in the morning filled with energy to help you get the place tidied up. 🤩


As you can see, the day&night cycle will affect many different aspects of the game. Starting with the looks of the environment, through the employees' availability to even the mood of the animals at the shelter.

Keep in mind the game is still in development and we’d love to hear your opinions and ideas on the topic of today’s devlog! 🔥 Make sure to let us know on discord 👇 and add the game to your wishlists on Steam to not miss on any upcoming info!
