We've just released a video summarizing the key data points and learnings - check it out:

We'll be implementing some of the most common feature requests right away:
And will be focused on two big areas for the next phase of development:
Thanks again for all of your input - this really is the best stage of development as we overhaul the roadmap based on your suggestions. If you have any more ideas, or would like to chat to us directly about the game, join us on Discord!

We'll be implementing some of the most common feature requests right away:
- Move objects after they're placed
- More visibility over urgent character needs
- Better tools to manage human escapes
And will be focused on two big areas for the next phase of development:
- System complexity - adding new and deeper systems that intertwine to form interesting gameplay opportunities.
- Differentiation - leaning into the darkness of the IP, as well as the things that make the concept unique vs other park builders.
Thanks again for all of your input - this really is the best stage of development as we overhaul the roadmap based on your suggestions. If you have any more ideas, or would like to chat to us directly about the game, join us on Discord!
