    I'm currently building a large African zoo (and slowly uploading my first videos about them) but when Leaf gets into Africa, I sit up straight and pay attention. I've learned so much from you and can only hope my work can one day inspire maybe one person in the way you've inspired me and have been a community leader for this game

      This is the best feeling, when you’re making a zoo and your favorite builder uploads a zoo series of the same type. Liquid gold

    This zoo is amazing! Thank you. I live in South Africa and the big five has always and will always be one of my favorite parts of South Africa and of being a South African. It's really cool that you're making a zoo dedicated to them. 😁

      Hey! Also a fellow South African! It's so nice that people can learn more about all the amazing animals we have here! It would be so cool if we could also get animals like a Kudu or an Eland! Maybe even the Cape Giraffe and the Souther Lion, as we only have the West African Lion in game

    now that you have the big five, you could do another big quintuplet that planet zoo made possible with the leopard - big cats! (there are 7 if you ask some people, some people like to add the clouded leopard and its sunda relative) - tiger, lion, jaguar, african leopard and snow leopard, it would be awesome to see this from you! :)

    Australians all let us rejoice
    For we are young and free
    We've golden soil and wealth for toil
    Our home is girt by sea
    Our land abounds in nature's gifts
    Of beauty, rich and rare
    In history's page let every stage
    Advance Australia fair
    In joyful strains then let us sing
    Advance Australia fair
    Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
    We'll toil with hearts and hands
    To make this Commonwealth of ours
    Renowned of all the lands
    For those who've across the seas
    We've boundless plains to share
    With courage let us all combine
    To advance Australia fair
    In joyful strains then let us sing

    Leaf got to say the Southern White Rhino should be the one you build for not black as at least for me the white rhino is what comes to mind for the big five and it's still around do to hunting that help fund it population to grow in the 20th century.
    Also here are the animals I think should be in the park to fit the African hunting theme: Spotted Hyena, Nyala, Nile Lechwe, African Buffalo (good job saying Cape Buffalo in your video), Kirk's Dik-Dik, African Leopard, African Savannah Elephant, Plains Zebra, Blue Wildebeest, Black Wildebeest, Black Rhinoceros, Southern White Rhinoceros, Sable Antelope, Springbok, Thomson's Gazelle, West African Lion, Gemsbok, Hippopotamus, Common Warthog, Reticulated Giraffe, Bongo, and Nile Crocodile.

    Your videos sound so scripted and fake now days. What happened to the old content you used to produce that felt authentic and more personal?

    • @LeafProductions
      @LeafProductions  3 місяці тому +3

      Respectfully, I think that this approach I've been doing over the past year, in my eyes, has been a lot more personal. My older videos will always be there for anyone to enjoy, and while I am sure they had a lot more charm in terms of "authenticity", I myself want to make content that even I myself enjoy watching and revisiting. And because of that, I want to structure my videos in the same way of videos that I like to watch in my own time, drawing inspiration from other creators from other games and forms of content in general. I find a lot more reward in crafting a script, crafting a map from scratch, and piecing the puzzle together to create something I can say I'm proud of, much more than building for three hours, speeding up the footage, then activating yap mode over it. To me I find no real joy in that. I don't feel validated in terms of my artistry, however it is valued by other people.
      In the future, I might consider doing long-form content of just me narrating my process as I build, but to me, this is the style of content that I really want to focus and hammer down on. I much prefer the value of crafting stories like the one in this video, rather than talking over me making habitats on a zoo map. I truly hope you can understand, and I apologize that the content has shifted from where you originally joined.
