| -LOCKED - December Development Update #63! | ||||||||||||||||||
Posted on 2023-12-08 22:16:18
Event UpdatesMantis ShopWe did a small shop update. One of the retired Advent Calendar sets is now available to purchase in Tier 3 of the Mantis Shop. We have also added a very cool Snowy Desert background to enrich this update with a unique colour palette!
New Combo Base: EskerWe are giving you a new base to breed, starting at midnight on December 9th (12am Lioden time).The main requirement for this base is that it can be bred during Wet Season only (the parents must breed during Wet Season, the cub does not need to be born during Wet Season!).
Factor 1: Esker, Ragdoll, Reindeer Factor 2: Esker, Arctic, Aufeis, Glacial, Ice Like any combo base, to get it you must meet the requirements and breed a Factor 1 base to a Factor 2 base. The genetics for Esker are Cream Medium Countershaded Special and it is tied to Blue skin. Winter Breeding ChallengeThis challenge is repeated from last year, so if you already know it from 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, you can skip ahead to the new rewards! :DAll the albino love this month has inspired us to create a community challenge with extra personal goals to achieve! We give you the Albino Cub Challenge!  Community Goal: breed 2000 total Albino cubs! Personal Goal: breed 3 Albino cubs!The challenge begins at midnight on December 11th (12am Lioden time)! Where can I access the information about this challenge? The Gorilla Enclave will provide all information, as well as an extra small area on the sidebar panel on your layout! We also have an Albino Cub Challenge wiki page dedicated to this challenge.
What are the rewards? Community Rewards: 5% chance for a Snowflake-based cub to be born to Albino x any parent, 5% chance for a Hoarfrost-based cub to be born to Interstellar x any parent, 5% chance for a Rime-based cub to be born to Orchid x any parent, and 5% chance for an Esker-based cub to be born to Reindeer x any parent for the rest of December when the 2000 Albino cub goal is hit! The Gorilla Enclave will also ask for more Albino-based cubs for their quests. Personal Rewards: A special title ("Special Snowflake"), the "Albino Cub Challenge" achievement, a background and mutated Albino Cub decor based on your king's karma at the time of completing the 3 Albino cub goal, a Sculpted Ice Armour decor set, an Albino Dwarf Cub decor, a Hoarfrost Markings applicator, a Rime Markings applicator, and an Esker Markings applicator!  What is the time limit? The challenge and its in-game rewards end on December 31st 11:59pm Lioden time. The sooner you guys complete the goal, the longer you can enjoy the in-game rewards, as the 5% chance for a combo-based cub to be born to Reindeer + any parent pairing expires on December 31st 11:59pm Lioden time! This means that the only way to breed the Snowflake, Hoarfrost, Rime, and Esker bases after the challenge ends is to breed their factor bases together during wet season, or additionally, day or night time. Of course, the achievement and title you receive are permanent! The background items you receive will also last until their uses are gone, as with all other backgrounds and decors. Will this repeat next year? Yes! We will add or replace rewards, change combo bases, etc., but we think the Snowflake base will always be its core, and we may add something fresh as an extra every year. What are the background rewards? You will only receive one background for completing the personal goal, and the background you receive depends upon the karma your king has at the time that you claim your rewards!
There's also a universal personal reward set, regardless of your pride leader's karma.
What are the karma thresholds for receiving backgrounds? The karma thresholds are the same for these backgrounds as they are for your eyes changing in Explore. Evil: -400 or lower karma Neutral: between -399 and +399 karma Good: +400 or higher karma  New Personal Rewards in 2023 Esker Markings applicator!  - Esker Dinictis - Esker Frosty Roan - Esker Indri - Esker Snuggle New Karma Rewards  - Albino Primal Cub: Evil Karma Albino Leopon Cub: Neutral Karma Albino Tigon Cub: Good KarmaNew Universal Personal Reward  Albino Dwarf CubNote: The Mistletoe base from 2022 does not apply to the challenge, so there is no bonus for breeding it! Esker Note: Esker markings will become visible in-game once the Winter Breeding Challenge starts!
Monkey Business UpdateOur background artist has drawn some lovely, important places for your lions to visit!
New Raffle-Exclusive Base!It's been a long while since we've added a raffle-exclusive base! It's a bit toned down, like Lilac, but natural in colour. The name and design comes from the infraorder of even-toed hoofed horn-bearers! You can try your luck with the first Pecora release from today's raffle lioness!
The genetics for Pecora are Cream Medium Countershaded Special and it is tied to Dark skin.
Quality of Life Updates* Added training status to replace hunger for grown beetles in the Mound overviews * Added hunger/training status to Unsorted Beetles * Sub navigation of the Battle Beetles has been streamlined and unified across the pages * Feeding cubs to 100% gives a small survival bar boost (2 - 5%) * In the Cub Sex Changer item menu, the current sex of the cub (M or F) is listed beside their name * Browse your customised "Recent Activity" and "Recent Topics" feed, up to 500 most recent topics displayed in each * Den descriptions can now be viewed on mobile * Minor tweak to the "aging up" notice on Den page to be clearer * Crafting has gained a couple of new filters: — You can now hide recipes that are unavailable due to event crafting (they will still show up if the current event matches but a higher tier is needed to craft) — You can now filter by the crafted item type, options being "Show All", "Applicators", "Backgrounds", "Decorations" Gifting CaveSeveral members expressed their desire to send gifts to the Lioden Moderators over the December event. Unfortunately due to the anonymous nature of the moderators, this isn't easy to do.The Gifting Cave now allows you to gift moderators. This is completely voluntary and not expected, but it is available for those of you who want to gift a little something special to the mods. None of the gifts will go to the admins, as they are publicly known. This is a bit experimental this year, it will return next year if it's successful - or we may have some tweaks. Currency will be divided in a weighted ratio amongst trainees and longer term moderators, and will be as even as possible. Any currency that remains and cannot be distributed evenly will be stored to be gifted the following year. Items will be distributed as evenly as possible by item category, and again, any remainders will be saved for the following year. Taking part in the Gifting Cave does not contribute towards the event bar, but does contribute towards your personal goals (number of gifts given, the 888 gifts challenge). You cannot poop on the mods (booo!). Custom decors are also excluded from the Gifting Cave.
Raffle LionessCongrats to the winner of last week's raffle lioness! A new Pecora lady with Dark Brown Margay, Outlaw Mottled Fissures, and the sixth Flowering Lake Bisina background is up for impressing in the Special Lioness area linked here!
Tags! Shad has added 17 new tags this month in the Event ➜ December and Miscellaneous ➜ NPCs categories! Poll Results - Thank you all for voting on last week's poll! It seems many of you love the idea our art team came up with, and would like to see these fish/gecko/frog morphs released in the Flood Pit. We're taking notes! NEW POLL - Lioden... in VR??? What do you think of this madness?!
Next Update: Community Update - December 15th! Next Development Update: January 12th!! Where's the official raffle and Friday comic?  Community raffles and Friday doodles are only released on community updates. This is a development update, so no raffle or doodle will be released this week, sorry! Important Note: Work on the Spirited pose and site update are both ongoing, and will still take some more time. We appreciate everyone's patience thus far!  130 players like this post! Like? |

As a long-time player who loves playing this game, and as someone who wants to keep playing for many more years to come, yeah, of course I want to speak up about serious issues that have been ongoing for at least the past 5+ years. I love this game. We all want to see the condition of the game improve drastically, and hopefully by numerous players speaking up something will be done about the lack of communication and empty promises. This is a game like any other, like Minecraft, Pokemon, Fortnite, etc. 10 players like this post! Like? |

In no rude way, but I am well, I wouldn't say concerned, but confused as why: - The BO Base pack is cancelled just because a player said negative response? And as Jester said, when chat was there (if you get what I mean), everyone was pretty pumped about it. AND I forgot, but someone else said, "why would negative player even be in regards to making the BO Base pack" which I full-heartedly agree on. Why should it? It shouldn't. - And, why are you not crediting people for their suggestions? I saw Yamato say "Thanks for adding my cub sex changer suggestion" but you've kinda phrased it like you as, mods, made the suggestion by yourself? I know at least 2, on the miniumn, were suggested. This has happened multiple times too - like one of Taka's suggestion on the beetle dropdown and so many other suggestions? Of course, I'm glad you added it to the game, but I just want to see where the credit is. Another thing. I'm also a little annoyed that, as other people have said, there are empty promises. In my own personal opinion, I think you guys should just stick to one thing and then it could be completed sooner, and then move onto the next. The Esker Base It looks a lot like bandit. I don't mean ANY hate but IMO it's literally just a bunch of markings slapped on one base which = one base. And I'd rather you guys work on the spirited pose/BO base pack then on this base that is . . . not in my favour. Of course, no hard feelings against anyone who likes the Esker base, but it is literally THE weirdest base. And I don't see Reindeer or Ragdoll in it, more like sunset? In some weird way. I am just a bit put off by it. Polls Seriously. Lioden is such a unique and perfect game, I'd hate to see it collapse because of the community and lack of responses. Will add more when I can think of it. 13 players like this post! Like?Edited on 13/12/23 @ 06:35:11 by skye wolfe (x4 ros) *AUTISTIC (#320259) |

"It's just fictional pixels don't get upset!" Yeah, it most definitely is that, but the LD community spends actual hard earned money on this game and yet Lioden still ignores the complaints. Not just that, but people spend many hours of their life towards this game, it's unfair when you put your money as well as your time into a game that doesn't even care what you have to say! In no way am I saying make the game exactly how the community wants, make this easier, or make that easier, but just keep to the word that has been promised to us! Very simple yet they make their work harder for them by doing things we didn't ask for!! Yes, a lot of people demand new bases... but compare that number to the amount that wants male poses or the new hybrid! 9 players like this post! Like? |

I think a nice winter-dawn inspired lion would be a wonderful breeding project. 0 players like this post! Like? |

RIP to memes that got deleted that also made my day today. (And I do believe they were on topic too) So I'm curious, why was there a moderater response when there were related memes posted, but not when people are asking for explanations on why certain things are happening?  I think it's pretty unfair for people to be demanding a response, but mods/staff gets to say "Happy Holidays, goodbye!" when it was convenient for them. There are still people (including myself) that would like more explanation for this situation! This is one of the exact things we're complaining about - communication! 8 players like this post!

I'm excited for the poop. Also: there seem to be some pixel lion players commenting on this news post that need to find a new hobby they actually enjoy. Because y'all seem way bent out of shape about these internet cats. But maybe whining is your hobby. 0 players like this post!

@Lollygag | 2.7k Nebulous Witch (#7771) We DO like 'the pixel lion game'. Thats why we're advocating for better communication and transparency. We want the best for this site. It's called constructive criticism, which obviously the mods can't take. 9 players like this post! Like? |

This isn't about "whining", it's about wanting more transparent communication. I'm so tired of this "Look how different I am from you! 🤓" trend. I feel like we have the right to discuss and complain about a game we care about to make it better for the whole community. Edit: With how belittling some people are to constructive criticism, maybe I DO need to take a step back from this game and quit/go on hiatus. People shouldn't be belittling other people because they want improvements in the game, but when I see staff/mods not doing anything about those types of people, do I really want to be here?  10 players like this post!
