-LOCKED - March Development Update #19
Posted on 2020-03-13 15:36:20
As part of the continuing interface improvement initiative, today also sees an update to the Hoard Organisation tab. This update should make for easier searching and selection of items, especially for those of you with an abundance of items in your hoard or buried!

Old Hoard Organisation:

New Hoard Organisation:

The new interface separates the stacked items and individual items into easy-to-filter sections. In addition, when selecting an item you can hold shift and click to select a range of items at once. As always, if there are any issues, please post them so that we may take care of them!

We have completely overhauled our "Premade Tags" feature - it is now much easier to browse all the tags that Lioden provides, as well as to browse tags in each category. We will be possibly breaking up the Miscellaneous tags category over the next couple of weeks, so please don't be overwhelmed by the 38 pages!

You can find a link to Premade Tags on your Den Page in the "Edit Your Settings" area.

There are now five new Explore Encounters for our environmental issues theme. They are available year-round, but in August, three of them will fill your thirst. Those three will also grant you a Background reward if you make a choice to fix the issue with the waterhole.
Encounters are:

- Trashed Lake
- Obstructed Waterhole
- Eutrophication of a Waterhole
- Overgrazed Lands
- Deforestation


SEPARATION

Reptile Roundup!

A new, common year-round level is now available in the Reptile Roundup! It's the Rainforest, with a matching skin - Tiger Snake! You guys voted for this set to appear the soonest - thank you so much!

Wow! There's more than usual! How come?
We've decided to update ALL existing levels with new, fresh decors - and we'll do it in batches! We saw a wonderful suggestion to include snail decors and we've created some concepts around it. As we update, if possible, every level will have a fitting Snail species and a few new animal or environment decors! We're starting with the Desert and the Highlands:

Event shop:

Due to tragic events that came to pass this week, we've decided to create a memorial decor, a tribute to Kenya's White Giraffe and her calf killed by poachers. You can find the decor in Tier 1 for an easy-to-spot price of 33 Rhino Beetles. It's frustrating when nature creates beautiful animals for the whole world to enjoy and there's people who would pay money to have them killed. We're furious and devastated.

Speaking of Event shop...
New Beetle Species!


yellow.pngorange.png



Adetomyrma venatrix is the endangered Dracula Ant from Madagascar. It won your votes in the poll! The other species could be introduced anually based on the votes.
You can buy the token for 10 Rhino Beetles in Tier 2 of the Black Market shop.

As ants work very differently from beetles, we've decided that females will be represented by workers - as they're the ones doing the dracula blood sucking from their own larvae, and winged males will do the battling.


SEPARATION


Art Bugs Fixed
* Beetle battling now has a background for March
* Merlot base was missing for teen female mutations
* Hartmann's Zebra had the entire decor duplicated and has been fixed
* Oribi Horns were missing for Adult Male Regent mane shapes
* Manticore Horns had cutout issues on multiple Adult Male manes
* Rugged Armour had cutout issues on multiple Adult Male manes
* Feathered Leg Wraps - Sacred Ibis were adjusted for Adult Male Hellraiser mane shapes
* Rump Fluff and Underbelly Extension decors had slight adjustments made

* Incubus mane was missing from the Custom Decor .psd resource in Art Tutorial thread. This is now fixed

* Dwarf Cub Young has had its bases updated.

Note: Due to recent world events and distractions, some planned updates are a little delayed. We really apologize and hope to add one more Pangolin craftable recipe on Saturday, March 14th, and update all Dwarf Cub Young files by March 22nd. We strive to keep the game running smoothly no matter what.


SEPARATION

A new Doubloon lady with Chert Margay, Shell Rims, and the seventh Dindefelo Falls background is up for impressing in the Special Lioness area linked here!

Next Development Update: April 10th!!


Wolvden Stream Reminder


On March 18th, 2020, we will be doing a "First Look" stream to showcase Wolvden in its testing state. Within the stream, we will be demonstrating how various parts of the game look and feel, and answering some questions about how certain features work.

The stream will take place at 10pm GMT, 2pm PST (2pm Lioden time) and will last for approximately 2 hours.

It will be hosted on Lioden's Twitch channel, which you can access through this link: https://www.twitch.tv/lioden

Follow us on Twitch ahead of time and you'll get a notification when the stream goes live!

The giraffe decor is such a nice thing to do. The news really breaks my heart, especially with all the other negative things going on this year.

Jesus, in my second response I SAID I know the game isn't all fun and cutesy! That's one of the things I like about it! I just don't know if the reminders of how shit the world and humanity is is need to be *constant*! Way to be condescending, admins.

Still devastated and upset about the Giraffe and her calf it's sad that a lone male is an only survivor I just hope by the wrath of the heavens those who have greed in their heart pay for this 😭

Lovely update! I adore the ants, the new decors, and the hoard update is very convenient! Thank you so much, admins!

(Noticing the last post on page one discussing the memorial decor, I agree being a skull makes it all the more sad - just as idea It could have been a background featuring giraffes to the back of the lion? That way even giraffes could fit, elephants, rhinos and a t-rex could fit on them so giraffe possibly could too? I wonder if it was considered and opted out or simply overlooked possibility?)


Admin Response:
We didn't have enough time for a background from when it happened until the news - but it's worth to suggest it in the art suggestion boards perhaps? :O
