Zoo RPG Update #27 — Incident Controls and Local Zoo Time

This update focuses on clarity and live game pacing.

What’s new for players

Local Zoo Time is now visible in-game

You’ll now see Local Zoo Time directly on game pages, so timed decisions are easier to make at a glance.

Choose your clock style

In Settings, you can now choose how times display:

  • 24-hour format
  • 12-hour format

Your preference carries into in-game time displays.

Incident flow is now easier to follow

Incident handling has been refined to better match real-time play:

  • clearer time expectations,
  • better visibility around active incident timing,
  • and improved live-ops controls behind the scenes.

Why we made these changes

ZooRPG is a real-time game. Time clarity should never be the thing that slows you down.

This release is about making decisions easier in the moment, whether you’re responding to incidents, planning actions, or checking what’s happening right now in your zoo.

Quick tip

If timing feels off at any point, check your Settings → Time format first, then refresh your game view.

Thanks for the continued feedback — it’s shaping the game every day. 🐾
