Art Update 1: New Breed & Light Tan Tack

11/13/2021 8:44 am

🐴 New Breed

YEEHAW! The whispers in the mountain winds told Aren correctly! A wild herd has joined us today!

The American Saddlebred has cantered into Horse Fable! With luscious hair and that beautiful high step, these horses excel in disciplines using agility, intelligence, or endurance. So far, Aren has found them to range in several colors such as bays and chestnuts but also champagne and creams! 

 

Oh! There are lots of marking variations in these beauties!! All their KIT genes appear to have 6 variations each.

 

To give the herd time to grow and Aren gather her wits, American Saddlebreds are only available via custom coin today. On Thursday, November 18th at 6 PM EST/game time, it’s expected the herds to be large enough to open up sales to gold and platinum players. On Saturday the 20th at 12 PM EST/ game time, they will be available for all! Since these lovelies seem like they will be so in-demand and sought after, Aren decided to keep their price at the usual 2,000 bits per.

 

Helix was excited about a couple of those in the herd and took them to their lab. Something about skewed dun and skewed roan appearing more frequently in old and new breeds? Seems it will take some time to figure out but maybe one day it will show up in the foundation store.




✨ New Tack

In the far distance, you hear a loud train whistle as the train departs back to the capital. Several locals stand around Will’s store arguing about the train's loud noise and the smoke cloud headed our way.

Will Sellum has imported new tack from the capital! Due to a bit of arguing amongst the locals, Will is delayed in stocking the new tack in his store. He expects to be finished bickering in a few hours.

 

Both English and Western sets now have light tan bridles and saddles with silver accents and a nice light blue saddle pad. This tack is easily imported so Will will be selling them year-round for a bit cost.

 

🐎 Foundation Store

Aren didn’t like the bad reputation she was gaining from selling dirty horses. She’s cleaned up her act and now all horses purchased from the Foundation Store are fully cared for.

 

🧬 Genetic Fixes

Word around town is that some horses weren’t displaying their layers correctly. After a bit of investigation, we resolved some issues.

  • There was an issue with the Foundation Store throwing the appropriate amount of variations. This has been fixed and you should see all variations now. 
  • Manchado should now display correctly. All current manchado horses should now display correctly.
  • Mushroom has been fixed. All current mushroom horses should now display correctly.
  • Dun now displays correctly.
    • D = a lightened coat with dun markings. Note, these layers are being updated throughout the day.
    • nd1 = dun markings
  • Whites now have layers specific to the white genes.

 

🦟 Bug Fixes

  • You should now be able to enter shows from your horse’s page.
  • When upgrading training centers, the stars for each discipline certification should now update correctly.
  • When you set your training center to open, it should now save.
  • The estate overview should no longer have extra 0s.
  • When frozen, you should now be able to view both bug reports and the Developer Log.
  • You should now be able to update your estate settings.
  • When your trade is bought out, you should now receive a notification.
  • Foals no longer show up under the breeding tab in Herd Management.

 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!

 

Cheers,

Bedouin and Curly

Entering from the horse profile page was my sticking point! Thanks for fixing that. I've been able to continue my gameplay since yesterday. Woo!

Have to sit down and have a serious talk with myself, to Saddlebred or not to Saddlebred. The coins will have it! 😆

Noting her that we are looking into the ghost W# horses and encrusted tack for the new sets. ^^

Those are gorgeous, wow! Such boopable noses 🥺

Curly, could we perhaps get any pics on how Manchado and Mushroom look? I suppose the wiki page isn't ready yet but I'm really curious to see what they look in-game! (and also what breeds have those!)
