New Layout!

We have introduced a new optional Layout scheme called "Desert" :D we hope you enjoy it - it's my personal fav right now because I enjoy low contrasts and brown, dusty and sandy colours!

If you notice anything that looks off, or something we missed, do not hesitate to suggest a change in Suggestion boards! We'd appreciate even Hex colour suggestions :D

New search option:
Based on this suggestion we added the Any/No mutation search choices!

Randomizer in the Oasis Customizer
Both male and female customizers in Oasis how have a randomizer option much like the wardrobe one - however they only cover the common and custom markings, obviously. If you're looking for something fresh for your pride you haven't thought of yet, this is a great tool to start off with!

New Mane colours!
- Sunflower - a mane to match a rolled/NCL base - Common
- Rust - a Custom mane colour to match existing base
- Persimmon - a Custom mane colour to match existing base

New Eye colours! - available in Oasis customizer and Eye Changer!
- Sodalite - Custom +1 - (Sodalite 30%, Grey 30%, Silver 20%, White 10%, Black 10%)
- Sunset - Custom +1 - (Sunset 40%, Yellow 15%, Red 15%, Sinoper 5%, Saffron 20%, Peach 5%)

Sodalite has been a user suggestion located here LINK

Bug Fixes:
* 1st gen Leopons being born with extra markings
* Black Stallion effect will bypass stud fertility requirements (aka 1% fertile lioness with black stallion requires just 1 breeding so it will ignore a rule of “No females below 60%”)
* Nesting notices should no longer spam you when you have Auto-Nesting
* Baoball going into negative and continuing to give stats in a few select cases
* Nose Changer is now called Skin Changer
* A number of instances around the site where skins were still referred to as noses have been amended
* If you no longer own the mother of a frozen cub under nursing age, you won’t be able to unfreeze them. (i.e. if you freeze an age 1 cub, then chase the mother and try to unfreeze, unfreezing will no longer be possible unless the mother is still in your den)
* A couple of things with rollover have been tweaked to hopefully improve a few situations (such as lionesses giving birth to invalid cubs which appear to be a day behind and are born the next day)
* Random backslashes appearing temporarily after naming lions
* When retiring into an heir but keeping the previous king’s looks, marking slots were being locked off if the heir didn’t have the same amount. This was incorrect as the marking slots unlock should be the same as the king’s as his looks were chosen, this is now fixed.
* Searching markings in the search now properly filter the right lions and return results
* October event apps not applying to lions (Bloodbourne Infection, Bloodbourne Stains, Unholy Curse)
* Karma-related explore encounters no longer provide hunger when your king has rabies

(the raffle bug fixes are not 100% confirmed they're working fine so we've edited them out just in case for last testing phase, sorry!)

Extra:
Restored markings for older Dynasty lions + Added a button to Dynasty lion page for any newer lions whose markings were lost after retiring.
NOTE: if your lion had no markings it will obviously not change much :)

Shad has updated avatar tags in Doodles and October :D

Possible new genetic group discussion
There's a suggestion that inspired me to consider few options for a new genetic group called "Iridescent". I gave it a few deep thoughts and conversed with the admins and I figured it is best to create a separate, new thread for just discussion and your thoughts to gather as input.

Few options I thought of are:
- New Color Group (like Black, Cream etc) and move just a few bases such as Cinnabar etc + add new ones.
- New Shading Group (like Solid and Countershaded) and just move the colours like green, blue etc to new shade to make the breeding within same colour group easier for natural and colorbomb breeders.

Discussion Thread with notes. Please do not discuss this idea in the News comments.

Original suggestion - LINK - absolutely worth reading.

Concerning Ko-Fi and Patreon-like links:
Hello Liodeners!
It recently came to our attention that some artists use “donations” in exchange for art services. In general, we strongly encourage you to just use normal PayPal payments for art, as this is the safest possible way for all involved parties. The issue comes here: “Begging includes, but is not limited to, asking members for free things - lionesses, items, money, or asking for donations."
We understand that artists run their projects via Patreon, and it’s fine if you want to promote yourself in general on your den. If you want to use services like this as a form of payment, please present Ko-Fi and similar platforms as a “payment option” for commission-based services, rather than “donate to get x”.

Polls and dev notes
Looks like Striped Hyena will be a January dailies NPC :D

Poll Link - we have TWO new polls today!
Firstly, when using the wardrobe, do you use the default flexible search/select dropdowns for markings, or change the setting to use the old style? Let us know!

Secondly, I am planning some new marking colours! Can you vote and let me know which ones look most attractive to you? I laid the new colours over most similar markings to show the difference and possible blending combos!
