-LOCKED - Night Time, Pawprints and Claiming Tests!
Posted on 2016-02-26 07:06:42
Explore Pawprints

Yay! Animated explore paws appear in Explore now, while your EXPLORE button is grayed out after a click. That means, it only seems slower, but in reality the gif plays while the text and image are loading, preventing you to spam-click the button and clog the server.

You will still see your previously loaded encounter after the click, until new encounter loads and paws dissapear.

Hopefully this should knuckle down on a few explore related bugs as well.

For people who do not wish to see the pawprints gif, you can disable them in your den settings into another image of three dots.


Default Background
Our current default background got a tiny detail rehaul to look better AND it became partially dynamic, to show a lovely night version, per user suggestion.

Players expressed their affection for the background, so I have added "Night Time" background to Monkey Business, which is just that default BG night version, for you to have it even during the day.

Claiming System Test phase


newsclaimingtest.jpg



We have finished coding the new Claiming System, but before we launch it we want you guys to test it out and let us know how it feels - after all we've been playing with it for weeks and are very used to it, so that it seems easy enough to us. Now, we want your input.

Page and instructions are located here: LINK

Basically we want you to test out how the personality match and mismatch is affecting the process, this is all we need right now. As you can see, there's only 5 personalities - they work with categories not exact matches, so it's quite easier.
Impression etc is not counted in this test, treat yourself as casual player in this.

We advise to give this a few days of testing before saying it doesn't work - our Helpers have been given the link few hours ago and after initial fails they quickly got a hang of which combos match and managed to get from being slapped a lot to claiming almost every lioness ;D Hope you discover your own! Remember that battling system needed some time to get used to as well - and now it's a breeze!

Remember that the poses lionesses have in the claiming screen are just indicators of their personality - when claimed, they would have normal default pose in your den.

Personalities are as follows:

For all input we ask you to post your thoughts here - LINK


SEPARATION



New Base

Nacarat is a new base - Golden Dark Countershaded Special. It can be bred only, and is not available in the customizers.


SEPARATION


Remember that event ends on February 29th at 11:59 pm, and all your currency will be stored in your account until next year. On March 1st at 00:00 Poaching event starts on its own, brace for impact~!

Note: We have tested a new encryption system today (that's why people experienced logging out etc) but it turned out it wasn't handling 800+ people at once at this stage. We'll try it again some other time with more tweaks.

Extra: We have fixed a lot of bugs and we're still fixing some even after news post - so just refresh the page if you see random syntax messages. If they don't go away, post a bug report only then!

Shad has added new tags, check them out as usual! :D

Yohimbe bark: Shortens breeding cooldown by one day, disabled if a lioness is pregnant or has cubs nursing.

Raffle Lioness


Congrats Razor (#3819)! you have won the latest raffle lady along with Night Vegetation raffle background!
Newest lady (player design!) with the Coast background and Mane Fuzzy is up for impressing in Special Lioness area in Explore or in NEWS section under News Post List!

Polls and dev notes
Since the MAPs votes were almost 50/50 I decided to make a map that is a mix of both.

This week I ask you to decide if we should keep the Trading Center lion picking as it is, or go back to clickable versions with boxes - LINK

RULES REMINDER
We remind everyone to NOT advertise promise-based transactions such as "reverse studding" or "traditional studding", these will be prosecuted. I advise to check Stockpile forum rules.

I love the art and personalities for the new claim system, but I think the temper needs to be drawn back a bit. I was only successful once out of over 10 tries and I was trying to use responses that would correspond with the lioness's personality. The temper meter filled WAY too fast. The claiming seems really tough. As the system stands right now, I personally would rather just skip the event and move on. *shrug*

The pawprint loading needed some getting used to, but these other updates are quite exciting. Love the new background. :D

I absolutely adore the new claiming system. Good and neutral lionesses are a bit difficult to claim, more temperamental than you'd expect. Evil lionesses are the easiest to claim, from what I've experienced. It's definitely a lot better than our current system. I can't wait until its implemented.

The test was pretty fun and cool until it stopped working for me. Boo. I make a choice and the boxes all grey out like it's about to tell me the result... and just stays that way. *sigh*

Love the new lineart for the NCLs, too! Really would be awesome if they kept that pose after claiming, but I understand why they don't.

I noticed the paw prints before I went to sleep and I thought they were adorable, kudos!

And the new nighttime bg is really gorgeous! <3

OH man i ADORE The possible new claiming system! It makes things so much more fun and interesting, and makes the lioness stick out more. You have to actually try to accommodate/please her, rather than just push random buttons.

I love the new claiming feature, so far!

From my experience, it was easier for me to "claim" Kind and Snarky lionesses. Not to mention, I love the new options that are available and as Silver Ackerman (#34397) stated, it feels as though you're actually trying to impress her, and that's what makes claiming a bit more rewarding.

I can't wait for the new claiming system to be released from its testing phase!!!
