| Next Fest, and somebody in your park is taking notes | 2026-10-19 | Hi fellow managers!We're taking part in Steam Next Fest from October 19 to 26, and we've updated the demo for it. If you've been waiting for a reason to come back to the park, this is a good one.Say hello to TroublemakersSome of the people wandering your park aren't there for the monsters. A Troublemaker quietly collects Suspicious Evidence while nobody's looking, and if they gather enough of it, it ends up in the newspaper. Which, given what we are all actually running here, is not ideal.So now you've got the crowd to watch as well as the park to run. Spot them, send security over, get them walked out before the story goes to print. It's a s |
| Devlog #3: Discussing Demos | 2026-10-03 | Hi fellow managers! A month has passed since we launched Monster Park Tycoon's demo! Yay! We were looking forward to being able to share with you some of the stuff we had been cooking for months, and we are very happy with the results. Demo LaunchInitially we planned the demo for a later date, with a bit more of content. We wanted to test quite a few things and see what really stuck with you and what could be improved on. However, mid development we received the fantastic news that Monster Park Tycoon was going to take part in both Gamescom and PAX! This is our first time in such big events, so we rescheduled everything and tweaked our produc |
| New Demo Update! | 2026-09-04 | Hi fellow managers!We have been working super hard on fixing a lot of bugs and issues, as well as implementing some nice Quality of Life features some of you have proposed! Feel free to join our Discord to take part in the community's live discussions!In the process we have encountered a massive bug behind the scenes. The kind of scary bug that makes us consider including in the game as a monster... but we managed to exterminate it before it caused more problems! This fierce fight has left some collateral damage, and save files will be affected by the update. We are so sorry, as this is something we always try to prevent and only do it as a l |

| New name, same cult! | 2026-08-10 | Hi fellow managers! "ATTENTION ALL STAFF. Following a routine review by Management, this facility will no longer be referred to as a ZOO. Effective immediately, we are a PARK. Please update your paperwork, your uniforms and your prayers accordingly. Anyone caught using the old name will be sacrificed gently reminded."

| Devlog #2: Our Challenges! | 2026-07-30 | Hi fellow managers! First of all, I want to celebrate with y’all that Spain is the football World Champion! As almost any Spaniard, we are super happy about this, and it feels extra special because we launched a football game this past June, so it has felt super cool to follow our national team to the victory while working on Early Access content for that game! This is for sure something we will remember forever. Challenges!Ok, so this championship has given me the idea to write about CHALLENGES: hurdles and obstacles that we have found ourselves during the development of this game. As you may imagine, developing videogames isn’t a straightfo |
