Welcome, Park Testers!

This PTB release improves guest pathfinding and game stability with various crash fixes for what could be experienced in Update 9.

You should see guests making better use of their walkable space, especially when encountering multiple chokepoints throughout the park. Previously, they would almost exclusively form a single chokepoint. We have ideas on how to further improve guest pathfinding which will be implemented early next year.

Please send feedback and bug reports to our ... Read more

Hey there,

Unfortunately the release build ran into unexpected critical issues that did not appear on the PTB nor our machines. While we investigate the cause, we will be rolling the public game version back to the last PTB patch shortly.

We apologise for this experience and we hope the rollback will allow you to try out Update 8. Please stay tuned for fixes as we resolve this issue.

Welcome, Park Managers!

Update 8 is now available to all players! This update brings a huge amount of important changes to the game, including completely rewritten animal locomotion and AI, as well as a brand new species. The team has also addressed a number of technical issues, bugs and stability fixes that we hope will improve the experience for players.

This has been a massive undertaking and while there are still improvements and polish to be made to the animals, we cannot understate how important this process has been for the future of the game. As the team works towards future updates, we have even more optimizations coming that will further polish what has been introduced in Update 8.

We are aiming to deliver Update 9 during the upcoming Holiday season as our final release of the year.

Thank you!
The PK ... Read more
