New Eyes!

Two new eye colours are now available in the Oasis!

Hetero Grey & Blue (50% Hetero Grey & Blue, 20% Grey, 20% Blue, 10% Malachite)
Hetero Blue & Grey (50% Hetero Blue & Grey, 20% Grey, 20% Blue, 10% Malachite)

They work the same as other Hetero eyes previously released! Please note, the eye colours will only pass themselves, not each other. This means that, for example, Hetero Blue & Grey will pass Hetero Blue & Grey, Blue, Grey, and Malachite, but not Hetero Grey & Blue.

Thank you for the suggestion, 🗡 The Knave 🗡 (#90472)!

New Backgrounds and Decors!

You can find three new backgrounds in Monkey Business!

Elmenteita Badlands

Tsodilo Hills

Waterberg Plateau

There is a new aging animal decor within the Oasis: Aging Black Leopard!

These decors adapt to the age of your lion's current stage. If your lion is a cub, the decor will be a cub. If your lion is an adult, the decor will be an adult! These are affected by the "Eye of" decors, as well—so using an Eye of the Kitten on your adult lion to make them display as Cub Young stage will cause the decor to display its Cub Young stage file.

Thank you for the suggestion, Jacimagicwhitedeer (#87017)!

New Decor Effect!

Starting from the release of this update, any lionesses you claim in explore by giving them a Leopard Orchid will come with a decor effect automatically equipped!



The decor effect, called Keepsake Orchid, can only be achieved by giving an NCL a Leopard Orchid while exploring. It is automatically equipped to the NCL you claim, and once unequipped, the item is destroyed. It cannot be removed and given to other lions within your pride.

This is not retroactive—the Keepsake Orchid effect cannot be applied to lionesses given Leopard Orchids prior to this update's release.

Thank you for the suggestion, Hex (NOT ROLLING - DM 41384) (#41870)!

Miscellaneous Content

We've updated some more Item Catalogue item sources!

We've also just signed on a new artist to Lioden's decor/encounter/NPC team, as one of our previous artists stepped down due to health issues. We hope you'll see their amazing artwork starting in July!

Watch out for June's Development Update. We have some fun stuff planned!

Heads Up About Image-Based Suggestions

Unfortunately, due to Discord removing all external links as mentioned within March Development Update #66, we've lost a LOT of image-based suggestions for new bases, eyes, markings, etc. If it's possible, and you're actively playing Lioden, please make sure to update your suggestion by re-uploading your mockup images elsewhere and fixing the image links in your topic!

Art Bug Fixes

Fixed Finch base missing on Snarky pose
Fixed Cimmerian base missing on Mane Succubus
Fixed Hexaplex base tail cutout issue for Female Tailless
Fixed Maneater eyes missing on Teen Male Dwarfism
Fixed Basket with Treats not showing up on Adult Female
Adjusted: Charmed Dwarf Lioness was a bit too large on females, made it smaller per this suggestion from Lenora LaVey [TriRos Sunset] (#86381)
Adjusted: [GE - New Guinea] Scheepmaker's Crowned Pigeon was a bit glitched, updated better quality

Note: Updating missing markings - 70% done!

Raffle Lioness

Congrats to the winner of last week's raffle lioness!
A new Mushroom lady with Cream Soft Unders, Spice Dorsal Line, and the eleventh Mount Kenya background is up for impressing in the Special Lioness area linked here!

There are no new tags this week! Shad may be looking into adding them in a near update.

Poll Results - Thank you all for voting on last week's poll! It seems like the Battle Arenas are fairly popular. For those of you that don't participate, is there anything that would make it more enticing?

NEW POLL - If you completed the Journey to Vredefort Crater adventure, how did you feel about it? Let us know in this week's poll!

Next Update: Community Update - May 17th!
Next Development Update: June 14th!!



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!
