Crossbreed Marking Variations & Focus Group
Happy weekend everyone! Today we have part 2 of our 3 part marking variation update!
Crossbreed Marking Variations
Up until now, crossbreeds did not have all the marking variations purebreds had. I have officially finished all layers for crossbreeds for leopard genes, KIT genes (To, Sa1, W#), frame overo (Fr), and splash white (SW). All KIT genes have 6 variations for both maximum and minimum types, 4 variations for maximum and minimum splash whites, 6 variations for overo, and 3 variations for all leopard patterns.
In our next marking update, we will be finishing up current grade horse image requests and variation 2 for roan. We expect this to be done by mid-week next week. Skewed roan and duns will be added once we are off our art pause.
Leopard Variations
In the upcoming month, we will be adding more leopard variations to total to 6 per leopard variation type. As of now, all breeds with Lp have three leopard variations. Today we have added 1 more variation for leopard for Appaloosas and Mustangs in the foundation store. Those who won our design a white marking contest will be contacted next week about their prize!
Focus Group
We have had a lot of interest in giving feedback for our focus groups and will be looking for a few people to join the focus group team. If you are interested in joining our focus groups please email support at [email protected] with your in-game name, why you are interested, and if applicable, Discord name.
Before we end today's news post we wanted to ask a general question for all our players. If you could add any one item to the game, what would it be and what would it do?
Cheers,
Bedouin & Curly
I have to cast my vote for Wild_Brumby's idea as well. Variations for the coat are great! But there's bound to be a favorite variation. Having the option to change to the variation you want (or to just switch it) would be wonderful.
But if asked for my own thoughts... I'd say an 'Age-Up' treat. Like a Diamond Apple (specially edible) that can be given to a foal to make them immediately 2 years old (or 3 years for breedable, debatable which one I might choose). Available for purchase at 50 ingots a shot. Or 100... or actually, I think pricing it at the same price as the magnifiying glass is probably most appropriate, so 250 ingots.
But I don't know how that'll interact with the game mechanics or if it'll screw something else up. So I don't know how probable or likely that'll be to just plop right into the game.
Love the ideas so far! Right now I'm staring at an ungroomed stallion at stud, so the item I want is a brush I can use to groom somebody else's horse. Ungroomed horses resulting in worse offspring is honestly a mechanic I'm not terribly fond of since grooming can't be automated if the horse is stabled at home.
Thanks for the variations update, so exciting :-)
I like Cybertron idea. There have been times I wished that there was a way to change a horses gender.
As for my own idea I would like more backgrounds like for the different disciplines and careers. That way it really feels like my horses are competing when I look at them.
