-LOCKED - August Development Update #71!

Event Update


New Shop Items

Spider 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 Encounters

Four 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 hat toy.



New Crafting Item

During 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 Colours

Three 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 Studs

As 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.

Tier 2 (Raffle) *
- Lilac Eye Rims
* This is introduced as Tier 5 in order to prevent it 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 3 (NCL Exclusive)
- Marigold Eye Rims

Thank you for the suggestion, TrollBerserker[PFM] ⚡ (#110675)!



Feralis, Maofelis, and Nimravus

We'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?")

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!

This'll probably never be read since it's buried in the comment thread of a news post, but what I'd like to see next year is a rotating set of multiple studs a day. That way if you love a stud 'early' in the lineup, but don't have enough DB to stud him much, you still get a second chance to stud to him later when you have the funds, without colors being excluded.

Next year we should get another color for a set of eight, right? 2 per day for a set that takes 4 days to rotate through sounds really good to me. I'd love to see this as a poll option.

I don't want to be rude but Korobela item seems pretty useless?! (and the crafting seems high) ncls are not hard to come across, and as it doesn't give you the chance of a chased I really don't get the point?!

if it gave you a higher chance of getting a special based NCL or a higher chance for a chased that would make sence, but as is I could just slap, take like 4 more steps and get a new NCL.
