Our pets in Animal Shelter 2!

[h2]Hey there, dear animal lovers! ๐Ÿ’š[/h2]

[h2]We're getting really close to the big day โ€” the release of Animal Shelter Simulator 2 is just around the corner, and we couldn't be more excited (and emotional) to share what we've been working on with you.[/h2]

For months, our team has been carefully crafting every little part of this game. If youโ€™ve been with us since the first Animal Shelter, you know one thing for sure: we donโ€™t just make games about animals โ€” we live with them.
Most of our team members are proud pet owners, and our daily lives are filled with wagging tails, loud purring, muddy paws, and lots (and lots) of fur. ๐Ÿพ
Thatโ€™s exactly why every detail in Animal Shelter Simulator 2 comes from the heart.


[h3]๐Ÿถ Real Animals, Real Inspiration[/h3]

Did you knowโ€ฆ many of the posters youโ€™ll see in-game (featuring adorable cats and dogs) are based on our very own pets? Yup โ€” we turned our beloved furry companions into stars. ๐ŸŒŸ The models, posters, and even parts of the interface have roots in real-life stories, animals, and moments from our homes.

๐Ÿ’Œ This game is filled with tiny personal touches. From custom hand-drawn artwork by our wonderful artist Aleksandra, to sound effects created by Krzysztof, our audio wizard โ€” every bark, meow, rustle or whimper has been carefully designedโ€ฆ and even recorded with the help of our pets!

[h3]Introducingโ€ฆ Shogun and others Pets! ๐Ÿถ[/h3]

We couldnโ€™t end this devlog without introducing someone very special: Shogun, one of our key voice actors (and also a very good boy ๐Ÿ•).

Shogun is a vocal star ๐ŸŽค โ€” and youโ€™ll hear his wonderful sounds in the game itself. Whether he's barking at the mailman or begging for treats, he's brought so much life (and cuteness) into the shelter world. We canโ€™t wait for you to hear him in action.
