This is not the first time I am suggesting something like this but this time I spent some time in photoshop to give ppl the idea of what I am going to suggest.
Lioden was not my first sim game but very unique among its kind. I've been mostly playing with breeding sims and while lioden is not such a game, most breeding sims provide an easy way to view the animals in your account. The most common one being the grid which is what I'm going to suggest in this post. In my opinion lioden are a bit outdated in some areas for example the den and the marketplace. Your lions are many clicks away and when many users are online that just adds to the pages you need to load just to admire your pride.




(BIGGER: https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/18491442_1497962186920485_5628014767161540361_o.jpg?oh=1e3e1f69a9570c292bdad879f8c44818&oe=5AA5DEF8 )

This is the most simple grid I could come up with that don't require mouse over which I have been suggested previously and was not very well received by some phone users. This design should however work on both platforms but it is designed for pc, since I am a pc user myself. The picture is just here to get you an idea of the grid I am suggesting, no exact pixels or anything. I've made each lioness a square and top left is where I decided to put the icons for example cooldown, gravid, starving, etc. Highlighted a little bit around the edges to be visible on most backgrounds. I didnt put down the level yet but I plan to place the lions level on bottom left in the picture. The little square down below has short info such as stat (which I might consider changing place with level due to some lions having very high stat idk), sex, name and age. When it comes to longer names, solution like just displaying the beginning of the name and end it with "..." Is considerable like how youtube does it, or the game automatically changes the font size or split the name in 2 to stack squeeze in as much as possible.
I would be suggesting the pictures to update real time with decor and backgrounds to get the best out of it, the same picture the lion uses just smaller coded, I don't believe having 2 versions saved on the server would be necessary. I have not displayed the gravid pose and honestly don't know if its necessary to display when we already have the tiny hearts in the corner.
I have a few other ideas as well but I think this one is the most easiest received. And I know some ppl dont like change (like those who complain as soon fb or yt get a bigger update) but then I don't know what you are doing in this section of the forum :P
Feedback and ideas are all welcome! If you dont support the idea, please tell me why so we can work out some changes :)



This suggestion has 28 supports and 5 NO supports.

I like the idea, but I can't even imagine how long my den would become with all the lioness' and cubs that I have. Its already annoying as it is to get to the feed all/play all I have over and over again each day.
Maybe only allow so many lions to be displayed and have a few drop down menus to pick which ones are displayed?

Thank you! And yes it will be a lot of scrolling with 40+ lionesses and cubs included in the same cave. I like your idea, Its good if you want a quick access or view for your favorites and still be able to browse through your pride w/o endless scrolling

Love it. The layout you have posted is what I've been dreaming of for years.

For people with slow internet or using mobile devices this could be a hassle; perhaps it could be an optional setting that you can choose to use or opt out of - use the traditional or image-heavy den, your choice.

Personally, I'd use it, and be stoked.

Glad you like it! Kinda like suggested above like only showing a selected few if it gets too much, or just not select any at all for those with slow internet

I like the idea but i would say to do this in the pride overview only because some people have like 100 lions and it would make their account messy i think, but if this was the pride overview i think it would be great
