-LOCKED - August Development Update #71! | ||||
Posted on 2024-08-09 23:09:11
Event UpdateNew Shop ItemsSpider Warning - New Beetle Nemeses!We're adding two new Beetle Nemeses to each shop - Beetle Nemesis: Galeodes arabs in The Destroyers and Beetle Nemesis: Pelinobius muticus in The Preservers! Below the spoiler is the artwork for the nemeses, and some blurred images for them in the shop table. If you're arachnophobic or just don't want to see spiders, please do not open the spoiler! If you have access to uBlock or AdBlock, you can enter galeodesarabs and pelinobiusmuticus within the blocked elements to avoid seeing the images site-wide. You can also follow the Lioden Wiki Guide to Blocking Images!
New EncountersFour new encounters have been added to the game!These encounters introduce some new items, so let us explain! - A weak antelope encounter might drop a Kob Horn. This item is similar to the way Roasted Vultures and Shamanic Stews work, except it boosts the Agility stat. Only one of these items can be active at one time during a breeding. - A new Mysterious Stranger encounter (albeit less rare than the one that drops Solaris) might drop a Mushroom Brew. Using this item on a stud will use 1% less energy per breeding until the breeding is successful. You cannot stack multiple uses of the item on one stud—only one Mushroom Brew can be active at one time on a stud. - Oh, and this? Road Cone. It's just a New Crafting ItemDuring the month of August, you can now craft Korobela.You can use this item when in the claiming screen to reroll an NCL. A brand new NCL will be created when this item is used. It will not reroll an NCL into a chased NCL, nor will it roll a chased NCL into another chased NCL. This item can only be used once per claim, and only before you start making moves to impress a lioness. It also cannot be used when claiming Wenet or her cousins. Recipe: 25x African Cucumber, 20x Aloe Leaf, 15x Stripped Cacti, 10x Water Root, 5x Herb: Marula Fruit. New Mane ColoursThree new mane colours have been added to the game: Ruffian, Scoundrel, and Ukame! These mane colours can only be achieved through breeding to a Savage Stud with the relevant mane colour.Addressing Savage StudsAs some of you may have noticed, a Scoundrel stud was released today (9th August) despite us stating in the August event news post that Bandit and Scoundrel would not be included in the Savage Stud lineup.We polled this past week to gauge feedback from the community about whether you all would like to see more than 6 Savage Studs during the event, and the responses were so overwhelmingly positive towards more studs that we implemented a new stud system to give more flexibility, therefore allowing more to be created! This comes with a caveat. We will be releasing more than 6 Savage Studs, and Bandit will be included in the lineup as well; however, we will not be cycling through previous studs this time around for the rest of the month. This means that through the remaining days of August, every day will have a different Savage Stud. Once the August event ends, we will release another poll to collect feedback on the system, and see if any adjustments may be desired for future years. New MarkingsFeline 10We are finishing off the Feline set with Feline 10!Tier 2 (Raffle) * - Feline 10 Black - Feline 10 Dark Brown - Feline 10 Fiery - Feline 10 Ginger - Feline 10 Gold - Feline 10 Lilac - Feline 10 Noctis - Feline 10 Onyx - Feline 10 Silky - Feline 10 Silver * These are introduced as Tier 5 in order to prevent them from being applied early via RMAs/Total Shuffles until the raffle lioness with the first marking is delivered to her owner. Once the raffle lioness is delivered to her owner, the marking is then set to Tier 2! Tier 5 (Applicator/Enclave) * - Feline 10 Auburn - Feline 10 Decennial - Feline 10 Ebony - Feline 10 Elysian - Feline 10 Maroon - Feline 10 Orchid * These are available straight away within their respective marking applicators!

Once the raffle lioness is delivered to her owner, the marking is then set to Tier 2! Tier 3 (NCL Exclusive) - Marigold Eye Rims Thank you for the suggestion, TrollBerserker[PFM] ⚡ (#110675)! Feralis, Maofelis, and NimravusWe've added in some additional recolours for Feralis, Maofelis, and Nimravus markings!Tier 6 (RMA Exclusive) - Feralis Cimmerian - Feralis Doubloon - Feralis Pistachio - Maofelis Cimmerian - Maofelis Doubloon - Maofelis Pistachio - Nimravus Cimmerian - Nimravus Doubloon - Nimravus Pistachio Note: We'll be slowly updating files for Feralis, Maofelis, and Nimravus. A lot of older mutation .PSDs for these marking shapes are lost, and we're trying to recover the files to recolour them! It looks like some of the markings need to be recreated via selections as they are lost completely, but we hope they won't differ too much from originals (e.g. Adult Dwarfism). Following Up on "Discussion: Raffle Lionesses"Thank you to everyone who participated in this discussion topic! Many of you gave very helpful comments with a lot of insight. We will be taking this week to summarise feedback and construct polls to see how the majority prefers to move forward, and we aim to release these polls next Friday. Coding Bug Fix* The mane colour field in Search was being overridden by some browsers/extensions; this field has been renamed and should function properly in all browsers now Miscellaneous Adjustments* Added a Monkey Business sale price for Bohor Reedbuck Carcass * Adjusted item description grammar for Roasted Vulture and Shamanic Stew * Fixed a typo in the item description for [Raffle] Kyambura Gorge * Gaining a stat from eating the beetle larva in explore will now display the stat gain as well as create a user log entry for the stat gain (the stat was always applied to kings, but did not show that it was gained in explore/user logs) * The GB sales confirmation prompt now includes the amount and total value of your GB (e.g., "Are you sure you want to list 1 GB for sale for a total of 1200 SB?") Raffle LionessCongrats to the winner of last week's raffle lioness! A new Nadir lady with the first Aegean eyes, Feline 10 Silver (NEW!), White Crackle, and the third Lopé National Park 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! We addressed the overwhelming votes to have more than 6 Savage Studs above! NEW POLL - Did you enjoy the Jaglion Adventure? Let us know in this week's poll! Next Update: Community Update - August 16th! Next Development Update: September 13th!! 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! 133 players like this post! Like?

@fraekinn yeah Im still really frustrated with the lack of communication about the recode, which has been teased since 5 YEARS ago and since the roadmap news post. It's the one big update ive been looking forwards to and they've never mentioned it, and no one really talks about it, and it's annoying. Just teasers or "hey we are still doing this" would be great. I dont want new decor or markings, I just want the base game to be improved and a recode would make this game so much more fun for everyone. New biomes and updated art especially. Sigh. for any interested here's what the recode would add and improve: https://www.lioden.com/topic.php?id=304429411981 8 players like this post! Like?

I wanna start off by saying this: I'm scrolling through the news' pages and it is incredibly hard to find genuine, good feedback when multiple users are spamming "NEWS!!1" on every single page, or trying to get "FIRST!!!!" on the first page. This has been an ongoing issue for a while now where people just spam the word "NEWS!!1" without giving any genuine feedback. I feel like this needs to stop. If people are really trying to get their thread achievements, there should be more constructive comments. Even something simple as "This week's Raffle Lioness is so cute!" should suffice. The news spam is becoming to be distasteful and unoriginal. I absolutely loved that moderators were going through the RL discussion and deleting any comments that didn't relate to the news. I would love to see some more of that in the future! :D With that aside, I am shocked to see such a sudden change with the Maneater studs. I feel like making this much of a drastic change should have involved discussion with the user-base. I was so happy to see the discussion about renewing the raffle lioness system. Seeing great discussions is cool and makes me gain a little more faith in the website and staff communications, but seeing this move being pulled with the Maneater studs just made me lose my faith. I'm genuinely not trying to be mean, but seeing stuff like this happen over and over again kind of makes me sad and upset about the integrity of the game that I still love (Begrudgingly). I think a lot of people, including myself, relied on seeing the Maneater Studs come out, and then studding to them the next time they came out so we could pick our best options instead wasting our precious Dry Bones or Carrion Bugs. Switching up the studs every day is going to give a lot of players anxiety, and I could also imagine that is more work for the staff to post new designs and create new designs for every day? I'm sorry, but kind of seems like a lose-lose situation to me. There's not any winning in this for anyone. So be it, though, because I don't usually directly breed to the Maneater Studs anymore, I'll just wait for new bases and traits to come out via regular Stud Males, but I know spreading these traits has to kick-off somewhere. These Maneater studs are so expensive for what they are, especially if they're going to be changing every day! I'm pretty glad that someone else bought up this developmental update. Generally, communication needs to be far more better on this website. What already has been done has been done, but I am greatly disappointed. I will be hoping for improvement for this in the future. I'm not digging into the new items too much since this post is probably already going to be super long, but lets just say that I'm not too enthusiastic about them. I'm not understanding the point of Korobela when it doesn't re-roll into something better. I'd rather take 2 or 3 more steps in explore to come across a different NCL and try my luck again rather than going out of my way to craft this item. I think the only items I ended up liking from this batch is the Kob Horn, and the Road Cone. Those are way more beneficial to me than the Korobela. (Yes, even the amusement item is more useful to me than that.) I am kind of glad that Water Herbs are getting some use, but the Korobela is really not for me. And the Mushroom Brew? I feel like I'd rather spend 100-200SB on Chasteberry(s) and breed to my lioness and be done within the next couple of tries. To finish this off with some nice things, this week's RL is genuinely gorgeous, thank you guys for bringing back the not-so-loved Nadir! Feline 10 is looking so stunning, too. I love how "crackly" it looks (idk). I'm looking forward to RMA'ing it in the future, or breeding it down! I love the new eye ring markings, and adding those few new colors to RMA marks is awesome. Also, finally getting some Maneater mane colors?! I've been waiting for this for so long! I am super pumped to see these new mane colors! Can't wait to possibly see some more next year :D 11 players like this post! Like? |
