Animal Paradise is a zoo management game. You operate the zoo as an owner and have a certain amount of funds given in advance for the operation. The purpose of this game is to achieve a goal given to you effectively spending the funds you have. Of course, you may play the game as you like without thinking about the given goal. Therefore, some maps without such goals are provided as well. If you have played this kind of management simulation games so far, you must be able to easily understand the Animal Paradise. What is operation? In a simple word, the healthy operation means that "revenue" exceeds "expenditure". If the "expenditure" exceeds "revenue", your funds will run out soon or later and your zoo will go bankrupt finally. In the Animal Paradise, there are two ways to gain the income. One is from admission fee that visitors to pay. In order to make the zoo attractive, you have to build animal houses and collect animals. You must make your zoo attractive since nobody wants to visit to such a boring zoo. The other income is from sales of shops in the zoo. Attractive animals will be a reason for visitors to come to your zoo, but they do not directly produce a profit. Because the revenue from admission fees zoo may not be sufficient to operate the zoo, it will be important for you to reserve additional revenue from the sales of shops in the. On the other hand, the expenditure is necessary for almost every thing such as constructing buildings, maintaining the buildings, purchasing animals, procuring merchandises, paying salaries to employees, etc. We can’t do anything without money in this real world. Settlement Most of expenditure are deducted from the fund in the form of settlement at the end of each month except construction cost, which is deducted from the fund at the completion. Therefore, unless you have enough funds, your zoo will go bankrupt at the settlement. You must reserve sufficient amount of funds expecting the expenditure deducted at the settlement. Relationship between animals and staffs The heroes of Animal Paradise are animals. You must construct an animal house first to breed an animal. Then, you may purchase animals. Each animal house has an occupant capacity (the number of animals that can be bred in the animal house). At the same time, you must employ a breeding staff because each animal house needs a breeding staff taking care of the animal. Although the virtual animals in the Animal Paradise do not give you many troubles like real animals, they will get poor health and finally die without the attendance of the breeding staff. The animals live forever if the breeding staff keeps their health good condition. If there are two or more animals, they may sometimes have a baby. The newborn baby can be kept in the animal house if the house has a room in the number of animals assigned to the house. If not, the newborn baby is forced to sell. If you want to breed a baby animal, it may be a good idea to reserve a room for the baby in the number of animals assigned to an animal house. All buildings including animal houses in the zoo have a degree of durability except for walkways. The buildings deteriorate gradually unless the proper maintenance is taken. Therefore, you must employ a maintenance staff to maintain them. When the degree of building’s durability gets zero, the building collapses. If there are animals in the collapsed building, the animals will run away. You collect the animals that ran away from the collapsed building by shooting with a tranquilizer gun in order to keep safety in the zoo. This incident is not only pitiful but also damages the operation of your zoo. Once the animals run away from their house, they never return to the original state. Therefore, your founds spent for constructing the animal house and purchasing the animals become waste.
