 World of Wings These are the three starting animals. More TBA. So I want to make an expansion pack! The theme is flying animals that aren't extinct. In the event that this expansion doesn't take off (pun intended), what happens to be testing stage or later will be released. What you see above is three working animals that serve as the reveal. Livingstone's Fruit Bat (credit for Zerosvalmont and Hendrix), Black throated Loon (credits to Jannick) and the pied Bat (credits to Hendrix). This pack will most likely consist of more animals than anything else. My goal for this pack is to have animals which fit the theme that either do not exist in ZT2 or are remakes (including older downloads). |

Why did you not use the common loon model by Uliquorra? Anyway the expansion sounds very interesting. There are not too many bats that have been released. |

Are there plans for any ducks/geese or other waterfowl? I know there are a ton out there, but having winged models for waterfowl would be amazing! |

I'm not sure. I'll have to edit the loon because the wings don't look as nice in game. I used Dodo animations, and the bigger wings are not considered in the animations so it looks awkward. I can try and edit what I have to work around that, I suppose. I have more reveals though! So I have new animations to go with this pack (if they're not too problematic). But first I'll show the standard animals.  From left to right: African Fish Eagle (credits to Hendrix and JimmyzHoopz), Klaas's Cuckoo (Credit to Hendrix) and Hoatzin (Credit to ZTABC). Depending on what animals I choose for this pack, there might be new objects or trees. I have one example below (and this is what the new animations are for)!  Swallow-Tailed Hummingbird (Credits to Jannick and Whalebite) Butterfly animations are not suited to a Hummingbird. I wanted to change that! My experience with animations in game is not efficient, but with enough player input it gets the job done. It looks as though I will need to add a small birdhouse for them as well. |

The green spot on the left of the hoatzin is the cuckoo  Nice works, this looks like a promising project. Maybe the pole holding the feeder could use some texture ? |

These birds look amazing and I'm really excited because there is evidence of a lot of diversity in this pack

Thanks for the hummingbird! It'll be nice to have a flying one ingame that's an animal and not an ambient! |

It is exciting to see another bird designer, and they look really good. I think they could use a little more defined texture, you don't need that much, just a little. When I was trying to do birds I had made a seamless feather texture out of one of Samuels pigeons, that really helped me. I am excited to see what you do with the hummers, as that was a highly experimental when I did those.

Another update! This serves as a reveal and potentially a reminder for myself. New animals pictured below: Ring Necked Dove (credits to Hendrix and Hispanium), Northern Bat (credits to Hendrix), Madagascar Flying Fox (credits to Hendrix and Zerosvalmont) and Sunbittern (credits to ZTABC)  All the bats (previously seen and new) should have a bugfix where they couldn't give birth if there were no shrubs nearby. Now a checklist for what is currently revealed for bug fixes and to be added: Immature skin for African fish eagle New skin for young Sunbittern Smaller wings for Black throated Loon The Hoatzin's beak and clipping Birdhouse for Hummingbirds |

Why did I not know about this before now? Anyway, the new animals will make a great addition to any park. |

Is it just me, or do pictures not work for other people? The pack sounds awesome and full of much needed species, but I can't see anything! |
