Launch Incoming! (and patch notes)

Launch Incoming!

Hi all, before I jump into patch notes I wanted to share some exciting news. This will be one of our last patches before Zoominoes launches, as I’m pleased to announce we’re launching this summer!

With launch you’ll see:

• Tons of new zookeepers (about 15)

• Challenges game mode

• Updated gameboard

• Achievements

• New animals, souvenirs, snacks, boss levels etc.

• Zookeeper voices and dialogue

• Difficulty updates

• Visual polish

• General balance updates

• General bug fixes

Colorblind Mode and Glyphs

We now support colorblind mode. If you check it in settings, you will see unique symbols for each color. We’ve also added glyphs (Symbol Icons) in textboxes. The colored symbols will show up when colorblind mode is on and the rest are always active. This was a pretty major text change, so if you run into any bugs please let us know in discord.

Daily Challenge Visual Update

Daily Challenge also got some polish. The timer is now visible both on the landing page and in the mode itself. There’s also a check mark if you’ve already completed daily challenge. The Zookeeper you are playing as also shows the same information as Zookeeper Select.

Misc. Changes

• New animals: World Turtle, Tanuki, Titan, Kitsune, Ouroboros, Chimera, Kakapao, Star Tortoise, Artic Fox

• New Snacks: Mirror Snack, Sharing Snack

• New Souvenirs: Geode, Gem Polishing Kit, God Pack

• Bosses will now take effect after loading so players can more clearly see what they do.

• Players can now minimize screens that cover the board to see it. This includes gold rewards, Pick one, Gift shop, and victory/defeat screens.

• Mouse over zoom is now has larger text, darker titles, larger icons, and has better positioning (still wip)

• Large numbers will use scientific notation anywhere they can show up.

• Calendar Visual Update: New background art, swapped icon colors on both calendar and collection.

Bug Fixes

• Daily Challenge high score challenge will no longer jump you to day 56.

• Completing the Daily Challenge will send you back to the leaderboard.

• Fixed issues with Phoenix not summoning at the start of the round.

• When dragging a snack you have multiple copies of, only one will drag.

• Lyrebird no longer carries over between days.
