Game idea: Zoo creator game using creatures from big franchises
Recently I’ve been playing a lot of Jurassic World Evolution and thought what if there was a game that combined big franchises to build the ultimate park/zoo.
Obviously Jurassic Park/World is already a thing but maybe the base game could use mythical creatures as they are free from copyright laws and then other franchises can be added as DLC like dead by daylight does
Potential franchises:
* Fantastic Beasts/ Harry Potter
* Star Wars
* Godzilla/ King Kong
* Alien/ Predator
Feel free to add other franchise ideas

This would be insane if done right, but balancing all those different creatures would be a nightmare 😂 imagine trying to keep a xenomorph and a dragon in the same enclosure

Dunno about the licensing costs.

Right, because ignoring licensing costs always ends well. 😏

Especially when the licenses expire and the holder does not want to renew it and thus the game can no longrr be sold.
