Things are great at Tek, as always, but I'd say it's about time for another community update!
I've started a new feature that I hope everyone will enjoy, making Friday a regular release day for some special ZT1 animals I've been working on... Only YOU choose the release! Here's how it works:
Tuesday or Wednesday I will post a poll in the Chattery section, in which you vote for the release you'd like to see. The catch is, you don't know what you're voting for! :D It's the Russian Roulette of Releases, where you pick a number from one to five, each of which corresponds with a release waiting to be made. The number with the highest amount of votes when Friday rolls around is the animal that gets released.
Thus far, we've released the Southern Cassowary & Emu, American Avocet, Black Stork, Trumpeter Swan, Mountain Bluebird, and most recently, the Hyacinth Macaw & Blue-headed Parrot!
There was also an extra-special addition to the releases yesterday - The Dragons of Pern! Inspired by
Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey, you'll find all 5 colors: Gold, Bronze, Brown, Blue and Green, plus Ruth, the White Dragon. For those not familiar with Pern, I made it an interactive release, with two pages of background information before I made the release.
You'll find all of the new releases in the
ZT1 New Releases section of our forum
Be sure to stop by and vote in our newest poll, which will be posted in a few days. Also, if you've been working on the
August/September Individual Contest, don't forget that you need to turn in your zoo by Wednesday, September 30th!
Stop by
Zoo Tek and join the fun anytime! We'll be happy to see you!
PS - Admin is having to sort through at least 200 spam accounts every day, which slows down the approval process for new accounts. Anyone who has trouble setting up their Zoo Tek account, please contact me and I will help you sort it out.
