About ZooBerry
Hi, Welcome.
My name is Goosifer, but I used to go by other usernames. A long time ago I used to help run a couple of Zoo Tycoon websites named ZooMania and Northern Skies. I was also lucky to join a modding team named Artifex toward the very end of my time in the scene. Though I was incredibly young and still in high school, I consider it one of the coolest experiences and was able to learn a lot of fun tech while I explored my creative outlet online. In fact I think that Zoo Tycoon was a huge influence behind my decision to eventually study computer science.
ZooBerry
ZooBerry is a recent idea and more or less came around when I ’re-joined’ the ZT modding scene some time in April 2023. I realized that all of the cool mods that my friends put together back in the day were no longer available anywhere. ZooMania never moved to Tapatalk and Northern Skies is slowly losing some of its files hosted through MediaFire and the like. I had a hand in running these websites back in the day and in Artifex’s case, was a freshman member of the team. I guess you can say I have a little stake in keeping them around a little longer.
ZooBerry was designed from the ground-up for Zoo Tycoon enthusiasts. Though it is in a usable state, many improvements are coming and I always welcome suggestions for new features.
The Future
To be frank, ZooBerry is a passion project where I bring together my childhood love for modding a game about animals and my adult love for web development. This website is a bit of a sandbox in a way where I get to express the skills I have learned over the years in university and soon in the workforce. I hope you enjoy the site and the mods that are available here.
As I grow and learn more, so will ZooBerry. I hope you stick around for the ride.
