New Markings

A lot (38) of new awesome under markings for you!
* Under White 8 * comes with the usual golden, cream, and silky recolours. Common marking. It's a gently-striped marking.

* Underbelly * is a new Custom marking, an evolution to Belly marking, spreading further over the unders of a lion.
* Undersides * is a new Custom marking, creeping on the sides of a lion.
* Undertone * is a new Custom marking, inspired by Under White 4, adds a little more colour definition on the under parts of a lion.

The three custom markings above come in the following recolours:
White, Silky, Royal, Cream, Shell, Coral, Gold, Marigold, Quartz, Bone, Tangor.
Marigold is the only recolour that is not available for customization, and is an NCL impression exclusive type.

Since Xylax's sleeping schedule is a sad, chaotic mess and he wakes up in the evenings, the art news updates are usually late (as if you didn't notice ;D). I actually have still many hours of work, and I will be updating mutie files still after the news, but most of the big guys and lethals should be done already :D

Art Style Tutorial Update:
The following have been added to the thread - LINK :
Grandidier's Tufted-Tailed Rat - NEW!
Fanalukas - NEW!
Sad Leopon - NEW!
Congo Toad - NEW!
Tomato Frog - NEW!
Narrow Striped Mongoose - NEW!

Mane specific .PSD for custom decors have received a Royal mane update.
Primal .PSD for custom decor has been updated with female stages.

Also a new .PSD has been added in the place of an old one:
Layer Style lineart cheat for foliage 490 kb

Example how it can look when used on big size originally and on many layers:




Hope it's self-explanatory here - you can be quite basic with the foliage, no need to worry about any lineart, and with enough gentle detail touch after flattening the art can look very good and detailed when sized down!

Tweaks:
Things that were tweaked by coders in the past week:

* "Feed All" tool was adjusted to add 1.11 teens into feeding priority so that they wouldn't run upon growing up anymore.
* Following the Shrikes from a week ago, the Ogre-Faced Spider encounter's rarity has been lowered to not drown you in spiders.
* LINK - the Monkey Business box has been adjusted due to community feedback!
* LINK - Due to some miscommunication, it seems this was thought to be already in place before. So, we thought it's only fair we add it - Original 4 combo bases will now have a chance to pass themselves when breeding them to any of their 8 factor bases (ie. parent1 - Madagascar + parent2 - Supernal = chance to pass Madagascar)

NOTE: Apparently Gem Crafting didn't unlock properly, I hope the coders fix it in the morning, I have notified them! <3

Art Files Updated:
Yay! The following decors have been updated for cub stages & poses:
Ear Tufts (Onyx, Black, Dark Brown, Brown, Cream, White), Maned Elbows (Onyx, Black, Dark Brown, Brown, Cream, White), Scar: Emaciated, Rival (Dim, Lace, Rosette, Luster)

Shad has updated avatar tags in Misc., October, Appreciation & Doodles!

Raffle Lioness

Congrats Yulan (#123616)! You have won the last raffle lady!
New lady with the Woodlands of Zanzibar BG is up for impressing in Special Lioness area in Explore or in NEWS section under News Post List!

Polls and dev notes
Hey, since you guys voted for very specific combo bases, how about... go to Art Development boards and have fun inventing some? I mean I saw a few already, but it'd be nice to have many to check out and add in future! (I really like that Ebony x Ice one). When you suggest make sure to add a link to a flat/no lineart version :D Last time I added Ardor from a suggestion poor user lost the original file ;-; Always worth adding it right away just in case!

LINK - New poll! Should we introduce more common countershaded marking colours like Saffron or Silver are currently?
We'd obviously keep rare rare and event bases uniquely themed as usual.

Rules clarification

Due to recent events, we want to clarify some rules. It's related to promise-based transactions, mainly raffles here.

If a raffle has been cancelled by the creator who then refuses refunds, that is a scam. "No refunds" is not applicable here. In any place in the world, such behaviour would be called a scam or a fraud - this follows in the digital world as well.
A "no refunds" raffle is a real thing when a participant wants to back down, and is aware that they might not get their entry ticket item(s) or fee(s) back.
If you cancel your raffle and do not refund players their tickets, we will treat it as a scam. If you refuse to do refunds after the staff team approaches you and attempts to resolve the situation peacefully, you have to accept the fact that we can, and most likely will, ban you. Afterwards, we may try to help with refunds if it's doable - it depends on the situation.
We encourage players to report any scams immediately, so that the staff team can step in ASAP before any items are sold or used, lions are bred or killed, etc.

If this is unclear to anyone that this has been part of our CoC already, we will repaste it below to refresh everyone's memory:

COC: Do not scam players.
While we do not moderate private transactions between players, we do not allow scamming. We strongly encourage any player who feels they have been scammed to report the user's behaviour to us as soon as possible. In some situations we may be able to return lost currency, items or lions to you. If you leave it too long, the user may have passed on any assets you have lost to another member or into the game system and they will be irretrievable.
