    Well, I'm at work right now. With travel, I work close to 11 hour days... so when I get home I'll start organizing the shots and upload them. Then hopefully I can start writing it out, maybe writing it tomorrow at work.

    2-3 hours of playtime = 30 minutes of organization + 1 hour of formatting pictures + 1 hour of writing

    :D

    Spring Cleaning
    Things are going well in the park for once! Chompy and his roommate are frolicking.
    01-intro-01.jpg

    The Dig teams are making me money
    01-intro-02.jpg

    We’ve finally realized that we should vaccinate the ‘newborns’ before we release them into the park. (How do they come out fully grown anyway?)
    01-intro-04.jpg

    And we even have a new option in our totally creepy dinosaur growing labs!
    01-intro-03.jpg
    01-intro-03b.jpg

    Things are going so well in fact that I decided to increase the park’s entrance fee by a small amount.
    01-intro-05.jpg

    01-intro-05b.jpg
    (Small meaning close to 25%...)



    The first action for today is to take advantage of the new research and get one of these newfangled “Kentrosaurus”.
    01-intro-06.jpg

    THEY ARE SO CUTE!
    01-intro-06b.jpg
    I totally didn’t know they were so small. I guess “Small Herbivore” should have given it away.

    Our scientists are super speedy all of a sudden and have new computers that makes extracting DNA faster.
    01-intro-07.jpg
    With the requests I’ve put in for more dig teams, this is a good thing.

    The Board of Directors are super happy with me, we’re getting a lot more popular.
    01-intro-08.jpg
    One and a half stars baby!

    With this influx in both Dinosaur activity, and park attendance, I better get some security measures. As of right now, my only security is a dude in a helicopter with a gun…. And he’s usually out taking care of sick dinosaurs.
    01-intro-09.jpg
    Some Security cameras should at least help us find the problems.


    I just had to say the word ‘problem’, didn’t I?
    It turns out Chompy and his roommate weren’t getting along as well as I thought.
    02-problems-01.jpg

    Not only that, but one of the Dryosaurus has gotten sick with the one thing I haven’t researched a cure for yet.
    02-problems-02.jpg

    Wait a minute… This Dryosaur cant stay in his pack anymore…. And Chompy needs a new roommate…. I have an idea!
    02-problems-03.jpg
    Play nice guys!




    Now onto other things…

    I’ve been thinking about what Thorpe said about a separate breeding pen, and I like the Idea, so I built one in the back of the park.
    03-moving-01.jpg

    I decided for some reason that this means I don’t need one in the ‘main’ pen anymore.
    03-moving-01b.jpg

    And I put the new Hatchery to work right away. I want more of these cute little Stegosaurus looking things!
    03-moving-02.jpg

    And I might as well research this new disease that Dryosaur somehow caught.
    03-moving-03.jpg

    I wonder how he and Chompy are getting along…
    03-moving-04.jpg

    Oh… well at least I’m looking into stopping this stupid disease in the future.
    (I was hoping that Chompy would eat him… :( )

    Oh well! No time to mourn! The new Kentrosaurus are grown and moved into their new pen at the front of that park!
    03-moving-05.jpg

    I started work on growing a Brachiosaurus in the new pen and decided that I actually should have kept a hatchery in the old breeding pen. So I built a new one in there and started pumping out more Dryosaurus.
    03-moving-06.jpg

    The Brachiosaurus grew quick. BEHOLD ITS MAGESTY!
    03-moving-07.jpg
    Moving time!
    03-moving-07b.jpg
    So cute!

    Enjoy your new home!
    03-moving-07c.jpg



    My original ‘batch’ of Dryosaurus has started to die, good thing I started growing replacements.
    03-moving-08.jpg

    And all of a sudden new dinosaur is available!
    03-moving-09.jpg

    Not only that, but I’ve finally researched all the vaccines. This, combined with the hatchery immunization, means that any dinosaur I grow from here on out should be disease free!
    03-moving-10.jpg
    Joy!

    Not only that, but the dig teams have finally found some remains of something interesting…
    03-moving-11.jpg
    Now it’s just a matter of time before I have [strike]my own army of thought controlled killing machines.[/strike] many happy people in my park!

    It was about this time that I realized that the pen built to hold the Kentrosaurus was pretty lame, so after a little construction and demolition of a rest area, they have a little more room.
    03-moving-12.jpg

    It looks like people are liking how I run the place. We’ve been awarded another half star!
    03-moving-13.jpg

    With nothing better to do with my money, I started to cram more dinosaurs into the pens. The main pen now will hold a bunch of Dryosaurus, a single Brachiosaurus, and soon 2 Kentrosaurus.
    04-breeding-01.jpg
    I’ll keep the other 3 Kentrosaurus in their other pen for ease of viewing.

    I’ve also decided to grow Chompy a friend he can actually play with, so another Allosaurus is in order.
    04-breeding-02.jpg

    I wonder how Chompy is doing….
    04-breeding-03.jpg
    WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE FUCKING DINOSAURS! EAT SOME FUCKING VITAMINS OR SOMETHING! FUCKING HELL!

    5 seconds later.
    04-breeding-04.jpg
    Well, nevermind then.

    I guess I should build another one.
    04-breeding-02.jpg

    Yey! Meet Chompy 3.0 and Gregory!
    04-breeding-05.jpg

    They look kind of lonely in that pen. I think they need to get their teeth wet… I did just recently learn how to grow Homalocephales and they don’t live very long yet anyway….
    Ok I’ll grow just one and see what happens.
    04-breeding-06.jpg

    Thats all for now. Expect more this week!
    (Honest! I just have to type it up.)

    You should have a goof and just let the carnivores run wild in a full park.

    There was more death in the second half of this update, but I'm splitting it into two parts. :P

    Also, I opened part of the Chompy's pen and left it for a good hour. He didn't do anything.
    Also, Chompy has a recommended security level of "High" and yet I've kept them in a Medium pen this whole time. Nothing has happened yet. Maybe more shit happens after you stop all the diseases.

    This continues to provide amusement. Gregory and Chompy the Third had better treat their new little buddy well! :lol:

    Also, the second you get another large carnivore, and I mean the exact second, you put one of them in the Allosaur pen. Nothing like a giant dinosaur deathmatch to get the visitors coming!

    Roughhousing
    During the downtime Chompy and Gregory’s new friend was released to meet them. Gregory immediately went over to say Hi.
    01-playtime-01.jpg

    Gregory then decided he wanted to play with his new friend.
    01-playtime-02.jpg

    Gregory plays kind of rough…
    01-playtime-03.jpg

    But he did take his new friend for a walk around the pen! I think he was trying to be nice
    01-playtime-04.jpg

    That was until Gregory got bored.
    01-playtime-05.jpg

    01-playtime-06.jpg
    AHNOM NOM NOM

    Alright Play time is over guys! It is time to move into your new pen.
    01-playtime-07.jpg

    Soon after I moved them into the old Chompy’s pen, Gregory started to freak out.
    01-playtime-008.jpg

    Gregory! Calm down!
    01-playtime-09.jpg

    Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to [strike]feed him[/strike] give him that friend… he’s a little riled up…
    01-playtime-10.jpg

    GREGORY! THAT ISN’T NICE!
    01-playtime-11.jpg

    LEAVE CHOMPY ALONE!
    01-playtime-12.jpg

    Oh god…
    01-playtime-13.jpg
    Well… so much for Chompy 3.0 …

    But that wasn’t enough for Gregory.
    01-playtime-14.jpg

    For the next 10 minutes Gregory ran around his cage eating goat after goat.
    01-playtime-15.jpg
    I think he went through at least 5 or 6. And that was after eating Chompy.

    (As a side note, right about the time that Gregory went berserk I removed about 3 sections of Fence in his pen. I left it open for a good hour of playtime and he didn’t bother to leave… eventually I just closed it again)



    The good news from all this chaos is that people like our park more.
    02-confusion-01.jpg
    We’re up to two and a half stars!

    But at the same time, even after one of my dinosaurs went crazy and ate everything it could see…. People are complaining of the ‘lack of dinosaur activity’.
    02-confusion-02.jpg
    I’m convinced it’s the blind patrons that are complaining.

    Because I didn’t know what else to do, I grew a Stegosaur and released him into the pen I’ve named “Misc”.
    02-confusion-03.jpg

    As soon as the Stegosaur was released, my Brachiosaurus died. :(
    02-confusion-04.jpg

    With all this craziness and chaos going on, I decided that I better hire some more cleaners. Between all the blood and the increase in visitors… I think I need them.
    02-confusion-05.jpg

    Right after I did this though… I got some amazing news. I can grow Velociraptors now :D
    02-confusion-06.jpg

    They are the cutest
    02-confusion-07.jpg

    most awesome things ever.
    02-confusion-08.jpg

    I decided that they needed a special pen, so I did a little renovation and combined two of my smaller, lesser used pens into one large one for them to live in. Here are their new private quarters.
    02-confusion-10.jpg

    As you can see, I couldn’t be bothered moving all 6 of these little things before opening their pen for the redesign.
    02-confusion-09.jpg

    I figured that since it was in a lesser used part of the park; things would be ok for the 5 seconds I needed to close it back up again. I decided to do a headcount when I was done just in case...
    02-confusion-11.jpg
    1...2.....3....4....5.....

    Wait....

    Didn’t I say I grew 6 of them?
    02-confusion-12.jpg
    Velociraptor – Population – 6

    ....

    Oh fuck....

    Where is the little bastard....

    02-confusion-13.jpg
    He didn’t make it far.... and seems to be taking a nap....

    A napping raptor doesn’t stop this chick from being horribly terrified.
    02-confusion-14.jpg

    The screaming must have woken the little guy up, because he wasn’t were I saw him last…
    02-confusion-15.jpg

    Then I got a call from security...
    02-confusion-16.jpg

    I think we have a situation on our hands...

    I'm aiming for another update this weekend.

    Jane from Fiji is a coward. All getting to see the Raptors up close for no extra fee. Is she grateful? No, she completely flips out. It's Jurassic Park love, if you're alive for the entire duration of the trip then consider it an added bonus.

    I think I like Gregory though. He's got a certain spark to him.

    Dear fucking God, he ate Chompy 3.0!

    What I don't understand is why your not playing the sequel, Operation Genesis 2? Has it not come out yet?

    5388OPERATION-GENESIS-2.jpg

    Heres the Wiki Entry: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_Park_Operation_Genesis_2)
    Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis 2 (also known as 'JP:OG 2' or 'JPOG 2') is a video game for the PC based on the novel and film series Jurassic Park. The main point of the game is to recreate a Jurassic Park - building a 5 star theme park with dinosaurs, and turning John Hammond's dream into reality. In the park, the player builds paths, amenities for food and toilets, as well as enclosures and attractions. One must also keep the park safe and secure. For example, during a raptor breakout detected by a security camera, one raptor could run towards the visitors and be quickly taken down by a sentry turret (an automatic heavy machine gun), while the rest could be sedated by the ranger helicopter and moved back into their enclosures. The park can be populated with up to sixty dinosaurs representing twenty-five different species. The player can also add attractions similar to those seen in the film, such as the safari seen in the Jurassic Park film.

    Or are you doing a LP sequel later?
