Dinosaur Zoo is an educational video game developed as a collaboration between Swedish-based Dotnamestudios and UK-based Thumbspark interactive and was released for iOS in May 2011.
Gameplay[edit]
The players tap, stroke and roar at the screen and the various animals display their hunting and defensive techniques. Pop-up panels give a detailed account of the animal based on current paleontological knowledge. Additional animals then become available in the form of extension packs for users to customise their menagerie. The animals react to tapping, stroking and sound by demonstrating their defense strategies or hunting techniques.
The current state of paleontological knowledge is given in graphics and brief, accessible explanations. A series of panels supply maps where the fossils were discovered, paleogeographical maps showing where and when the animal lived, and the animal's vital statistics.
Production[edit]
Production began in 2010 and was completed and released in May 2011. Dinosaur Zoo was initially developed under the name Dinosaur Safari but later renamed in order to shorten the name for iTunes. The project was directed by Andrew Kerr and code development was provided by Thumbspark. Digital models and animation were provided by Dotnamestudios.
Reception[edit]
