There are many kinds of stories and movies involving anthropomorphized animals but they have a problems, like why don't we ever see heroic carnivores hunting other anthropomorphized prey and killing it. or why is it only a popular few species, or why are they extremely kid friendly and why after years of zoo tycooning, few have thought up of the idea of having talking wild animals behaving like wild animals ( mostly) in a somewhat plausible fantastical setting. This is where Martian biosphere comes in.

The epic series eventual aim is to have multipart films filmed in zoo tycoon 2 with mods. here there shall be epic adventures created by anyone who can or wants to make a ZT2 film ( you can join in if you want) the videos have stories that either follow the animals struggles in the wild, or a massive moral dilemmas that would arise.

Enough with the introduction, here are the trailers (minor coarse language in the first)

So what do you guys think, a new trailer will be up shortly and any of you can ask me on whether to contribute to this, a backstory/lore post on the setting will be coming in the future.
Do you like this, I sure hope so, would you like a contest of this where different people make their own stories and we see which is the best?

That looks really professionally made but I suggest deleting the zoo wall and all the animal emotions :)

What is the song in the second video?

The idea is original btw, and you must have a very good computer... no lag with all that foliage and those animals moving around and with high graphics!

yeah, the animal emitotes should go from now on, but considering the animals actually communicate telepathically in this particular setting, there is a bit of fridge logic behind the emotes because the other animals would be able to see that they're predators are hungry for example, anyway, THE EMOTES FROM THIS DAY FORWARDS ARE GOING!!!

Considering that no one was view it again, I decided to provide the links to the available beginnings stories so far. Word of warning, this is choose you own adventure format, so the plot may be very confusing. Try to just follow the linked annotations( One major one is missing however in the snow leopard story)New stories could be up as soon as tomorrow. Also should I have a contest where people can create their own videos and submit them to me, as since this series does encourage other people helping out as since I can never do all the animals.
