Zooconomy (Strategy-puzzle)

Friday, again! Today i have for you some development progress and big announcement.

Geography
I made first attempt to create zoo names on map. When zoo is isolated it works fine: it nicely fade in and out. But when other zoos are near, they all are mixed together and i do not know how to approach this. I can see only one solution - to show zoo names if player hover mouse on zoo icon.

Here is in action:

Look at this mess :frowning:

For now i will probably leave it as is and return to it with fresh ideas or maybe completely remove this option.

Check click
@Denis_Makhortov wrote to me with proposed optimization options for his Check_click extension. I have tested them and can say that they really worked). Load time was decreased almost by 50% with some space optimization as well. You can check it here ImageTransparencyCalculator - Check sprite on click - #5 by Denis_Makhortov

Announcement time
First of all Zoo Economy Steam page is finally available. You can already add game to your wishlist and i encourage you to do that :slight_smile: . Even if you do not like the game it can help me to get more coverage in the store.

Also i would like to announce that Zoo Economy is coming to Early Access this fall. Specific date, roadmap and other details will come shortly, so stay tuned. A lot of things left to do and even more after entering Early Access.

That’s all for today. See you next week maybe with even bigger news.
