Quality of Life Updates

Raffle Ticket Purchase Prompts

We previously introduced popup confirmation prompts when purchasing raffle tickets using items. This has now been extended to currency tickets, and will display the number of tickets you're buying as well as the total cost in either SB or GB. For item tickets, the prompts will also specify the item you've chosen to exchange!

Item Usage - Applicators & Others

We have implemented a new feature today on the use item page. If you attempt to use an applicator item, or any other item of particular importance (i.e. a sex changer, jellyfish, etc), a confirmation pop up will display when using it, confirming what item you are trying to use and which lion you picked. For marking applicators, this pop up will also show the marking you chose, the slot, and the opacity. We hope this will help reduce any mistakes when using these items, as we know how important it is to use them on the right lion!

Pregnancy Item Notification

We've now implemented a feature to track items used during a pregnancy. Previously, item application details were only available on a lion's page before breeding and were lost post-conception. Now, the site will record specifics such as which items were used, the parent they were applied to, and any specified slots (relevant for marking pass items). This data will be presented on the lioness's page within her pregnancy notification and will reset after her litter is born. Please note, this will only apply to all breedings that take place after this news post. Pregnancies that existed prior to the update will not have their item data stored.

Mass-Scrying: Ultrasound and Mutation Checks

These have been added to the game in the form of a "Check All" button. There are two options of paying - one is the SB option as standard, which is how much it would cost to check all of your eligible lions in one click. The second option is GB - we have set the price at 1 GB per 10 lions across both types of mass-check.

New Forum: Event Sales

We have added a new subforum under Stockpile specifically for Event Sales. We have gone through and cleaned up the Stockpile forums to move any event-related topics to this new subforum. If you would like to post a new topic there and you're unsure whether it fits, this is the perfect subforum to use if you are looking to buy/sell/trade event currency, buy/sell/trade Dorsal Fur boosts, etc.!

Feeding Your King

You can now feed your king from his page as you can feed any of your pride's lions.

Customise Your Forum Feed

You can now choose which forums you want to appear in the Recent Activity and Recent Topics section on the Chatter page. As explained on the page, some forums are default to the feed and cannot be removed, others are already automatically removed and have not appeared on the feed historically.

A Note: 1x1 and Character sheets were previously automatically excluded; we have moved them back in so that you can choose whether to exclude them or not.

Gorilla Enclave Shop Update

The previous cycle of raffle backgrounds are now able to be purchased from the Gorilla Enclave!

[Raffle] Fourteen Falls

New Lioden Layout

We previously shared a preview of a new layout that we had designed for Lioden's recode. There was a mixed reaction, and we've taken that on board. We went back to square one - we'd like to get your feedback on a new design that we've created, heavily inspired by the current layout - just spruced up a bit, and modernized to use more current web technology!

Some Notes:
* This is not the final iteration of the layout, it's a preview build - there may be minor issues that will be fixed, or things that we rearrange. Please don't worry about bug reporting or making suggestions for repositioning at this point - we're looking for feedback about how the layout as a whole feels to you!
* This layout should be fully mobile responsive, including the lion images and their layers
* We are about 99% of the way with color contrast accessibility, and the new accent colors (buttons, progress bars [hunger, energy, etc]) should be colorblind friendly.
* Alerts can cause a problem due to very similar brightnesses so icons have been added to alerts to counteract any bad interactions with colorblindness.
* Layout Preview Settings: At the bottom of the page there are two options for layout settings.
* Text can be resized to your preference within a range. The current default text size (90%) is the most similar to Lioden's current text size. 100% will be the new default when this layout launches, but we will automatically set everyone who is a member at the time to 90% so it's less of a harsh adjustment right away. The plan is that when the layout is implemented, this will be a setting on your account that you can change at will.
* The site's theme can be changed to the game's existing layout themes (Day/Default, Night and Desert) and there is a new Dark theme. We are still tweaking Dark theme, and it's important to note that Night and Desert are lower contrast themes and may cause accessibility issues.

Pin the Prey Update - Prizes!

Huzzah! Pin the Prey prizes are now available! While we do plan to expand the prize pool with exclusive decors and prizes in the future, the current prize pool consists of SB, various food items, decors, and crafting resources. Additionally, level 20 is now the designated final level of the game. While you can submit scores for levels beyond level 20, the prizes will not be any rarer between that and say, level 100.
