Community Update

Aside from monthly event news posts and the 2nd Friday of each month being focused on art/coding updates, all other Fridays are centered around the community!

Official Lioden Raffle

LINK - This is our official community update raffle. Everyone gets a chance to win a rare prize, plus something extra for any runner ups. These raffles have a very minimal ticket price, and there is a limit of 1 ticket per account to make it fair! Good luck!
This raffle will automatically end on 2023-04-14 00:00:00.

Contest Winners

We will be formally announcing the winners of the three contests tomorrow (Saturday) within another news post. Stay tuned to find out who won!

Art Bug Fixes

* Fixed all Freckles 2 marking going outside of the lineart on Teen Female Bobbed Tail and Primal variants
* Fixed Feline 1 Decennial showing Kind pose artwork on Neutral pose
* Fixed Hoarfrost Feline being cut off on Cub Primal variants

Coding Bug Fixes

* While HTML itself does not work in chat, attempting to use HTML to post a link could lead to a malformed URL in the link. This should no longer happen!
* Wenet was not showing quest completion messages as she should have been. She has been given a stern talking to and is now showing all messages as expected.
* Attempting to use the Scrying Stone to view your main male as the opposite sex (by leaving the ID blank) will no longer result in the error "ERROR 68.3: Lion not initialized".

Twitch Stream Recaps

Lioden went live on Twitch on April 4th, 5th, and 6th! Below, we have summarised the contents of the streams.

April 4th Recap

Our site artist Jarfish rendered an NPC decor (Wolf: Nomia) for Wolvden, which has since been uploaded to our sister site.

April 5th Recap

Xylax was working on the upcoming male pose, Spirited. We've included a work-in-progress preview of the pose within a spoiler below if you'd prefer to be surprised when it is released in the future!

April 6th Recap

Abbey was coding within this stream to add in icons and links to Lioden's Twitch and YouTube channels, which can be found now under the Social Media tab on the sidebar. An upcoming new feature for submitting mutation decor placements was also being worked on. This new feature was previously polled within Community Update #167, though we've quoted the poll below.

It seems a majority of players want to see the decors handled by official artists. With this in mind, we wanted to offer a revised set of options to see your further thoughts. How should the art for mutated lion decors be handled?

Winning Vote: Hybrid crowd-source: allow players to reposition static decors, but official artists redraw anything body-fitting

If you would like to view these streams yourself, you can find them on our Twitch and YouTube channels! We hope to stream some more this weekend!

Raffle Lioness

Congrats to the winner of last week's raffle lioness!
A new Hexaplex lady with Briar Brindle, Feline 5 Fiery, and the ninth Fourteen Falls background is up for impressing in the Special Lioness area linked here!

Poll Results - Thank you all for voting on last week's poll! We're very surprised to see how much love everyone has for Serengeti Shuffle. Is it because of the prizes, or do you genuinely enjoy playing it?

NEW POLL - This June, it's time to release a third variant of Ogdoad from the June combo base set. We released Ennead last year, and this year, we would like to ask you to vote for which variant you would prefer to have released! Let us know your preference in this week's poll!

Next Development Update: April 14th!
