GENETICS REVAMP - MEDIUM GROUP

Alma's genetic project has finally come to its final stage. It's been in the forums ever since we launched the new system and we knew you guys were aware it will eventually become true, so we know this is not a big surprise, but it is a big change.

If you had breeding projects, there obviously will be some change, but we think that with this system, breeding for specific bases will be actually much easier and will bring more fun and variety.

Simplifying, it'd work like this when breeding:
Dark/Dark = Dark
Light/Light = Light
Dark/Light = Medium
Medium/Medium = 25% dark, 25% light, 50% medium
And Dark/Medium and Light/Medium would be 50/50 either

For those who would like a handy but minimalistic chart, we strongly advise using our document that contains all groups in a very tidy fasion - you will be anonymously accessing a google doc link with permission to view:

For those who'd like to take a shot at a script for breeding tests, we have this handy calculator:
Breeding Test

Bases that were changed significantly:
Inferno and Maroon ares now in Red group.
Dove Gray and Rosy Brown are now in Black group.
Dun is now Countershaded.
Pearl and Vanilla are Cream.
Gray moved to Dark shade.
Lots of existing bases moved into medium shades in general.

Old Golden bases have been renamed:
Golden 6 = Zarafshan
Golden 5 = Zarbanu
Golden 4 = Zarasa
Golden 3 = Zarin
Golden 2 = Zivar
Golden 1 = Zer

G6-G1 are all Persian names referring to gold. As the colors get lighter, the names get shorter - easy to remember!
This name change also affects mane bases.

Wiki will be updated in next days to match the new system.

Remember that cubs are generated in the moment of breeding so if you bred cubs yesterday etc, they will be not affected by these genetics.

NEW BASE AND MARKINGS

New Base: Flint - Solid Special Medium Black
New Base: Chartreaux - Countershaded Special Light Black
New Base: Buttercream - Solid Special Medium Cream
New Base: Anjeer - Countershaded Special Medium Red
New Base: Umber - Solid Special Medium Red

NOTE - These bases are SPECIALS just like Ebony, meaning they have to be bred meeting certain genetic conditions.

New markings recolours - CUSTOM - meaning they can be applied with marking applicator or customized in Oasis.
Black Brindle* - my bad, we already had Henna recolour!
Cream Brindle
White Eyebrows
Golden Undefur

Giving Tree update

Based on this suggestion!
Every time a cub (0.5 - 1.11 years) is CHASED, it will land in Giving Tree area. Once a day you can lure a cub of your choice with a toy use - the choice is vague (cub, teen and gender), and the stats are reset to NCL stats, but the HERITAGE stays as well as their looks, so you might fish out a very cool cub! (mutations do not stay on chased cubs, sorry!)

So when you chase a cub, and check your sired cubs... hey maybe you can check out where it is now and send it a hug? :D

New artist!

#50864 Deertush is a new artist that will work for Lioden!
Their entry was impressive and we think this young man can have a lovely experience into adulthood working with us!
They need to get adjusted to how stuff works and draw it all, so it will be some time until their decors appear onsite, but we're sure it will happen very soon! Yay!

Unfortunately no background artist was hired at this time because we did not find the entries matching the style well enough. They were beautiful and impressive, just did not blend well.

We do, however, keep all artist's portfolios on hand, we were very impressed and our top 7 picks were a close match. We want to keep your contacts on hand for possible future projects, side games or perhaps even hire more artists for Lioden in future, so don't give up yet, if you still want to work in the sim game industry and still want to stick with us.
