Cool Stuff

Well, there's not a lot here, but here it is. Perhaps one day there will be things here like on the original Zoo Tycoon 2 website, like calenders and avatars and wallpapers (don't bet on it).

Development Tidbits

For the longest time, I had no real intention of releasing Folksy Facelift publicly. It started life in 2019 as a few personal, disconnected QOL tweaks.
Folksy Facelift's development codename is UltReal, reflecting the project's initial and slightly dishonest "Ultimate Realism" name.
Many of the new variants in FF are lifted from a number of different variant packs I made for the game but never released. Examples of some skins that didn't make it over include golden cave lions, an ugly precursor to the current dodo skin and a bright pink Stegosaurus (made in protest of a lousy "reward" that was released for an equally lousy game).
Folksy Facelift was intended to be modular to an extent for a good portion of development, with the .z2f files each reflecting the contents of specific expansions. For the sake of streamlining, this was abandoned relatively late in development.
