These may not seem like much, but this is where it all started for me. This was also way back in 2003-2005, so it was pretty impressive back then, to me at least. :P
First I worked with the animal/object editor called A.P.E. and then gradually moved on to editing the ztd files directly (usually with Notepad). Often designers would have to use other programs like Winhex to do "rotation fixes" (aligning objects to the ingame grid) and ResHacker to edit .dll strings for buildings. I started with animals and objects and later moved into creating buildings as well; however I didn't stay long enough to venture into scenarios, paths, and fences.
 | One of the last projects I worked on for Zoo Tycoon. It was one of the more unique ones I've made, finding that I was able to set entry and exit points away from the building so guests appeared to "teleport". I noticed this from Pixigger's Hotel Cha... |

 | After creating Fire as animal, it was only obvious to create Water as animal. But just a puddle of water wouldn't be interesting. Water spout animations were available in Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 and since I didn't know what the proper names... August 16, 2003 |
