.:Breeding Updates:. (New Breeding Season)

Postby Kyrit » 05/30/2013 5:33 PM

Well, I figured some of the updates we do aren't very minor, so maybe they needed a better place. So.. here we go!

First off, as a reminder, the Blue Moon season will be ending tomorrow at 9:34 pm. If your room is not finished by then, you can't be guaranteed a full litter/hatch. Obviously it's still possible, but yeah. Not guaranteed like the Blue Moon gives you. As a warning though, as I'm going out of town tomorrow, I'll be updating the season either tonight or tomorrow. That season won't start until the proper end of the Blue Moon season, but I don't want my absence to cause confusion.

Speaking of speeding something up due to my being out of town, a set of pups was grown up a day or two early since I won't be around to grow them on time, and a hidden gem was found within! I would like to introduce all of you to some of the new breeding quirks we are introducing, which will all be available in both Lucain and Paragon. Keep in mind they may not appear grown to you quite yet if photobucket is taking some time to refresh itself.

Image

This girl's splotched has undergone what we have called an addition mutation, where the markings spread outward to cover more of the body or have undergone some change that adds something new to the marking. While they are all classified as one very rare breeding quirk, some of them might have 'names' of sorts, such as Silverin and I have been calling this one Painted, despite the fact the mark itself is still just splotched. When bred, these mutations are not passed on to offspring at any greater rate than they have the chance of appearing from a normal breeding, and it appears that some markings are genetically too stable to produce an addition mutation. This is also only a breeding quirk and may not be found in customs or randoms.

Image

While not the easiest to see, this girl has also acquired one of our new breeding quirks, which I'm afraid I haven't given much of a proper name to other than Two Tone Markings. In her case, the two toned marking is her Arach, which is colored both bright yellow as well as orange. It's a bit hard to tell since the only orange of the marking is found on the little dots of the arach. This is probably going to be an uncommon quirk and is similar to how some people ask for something like the skull on the chest of a Lucain's reaper to be different colored from the rest.

I look forward to telling you all about the others that are hidden among your litters.

Oh wow, what lovely new quirks! I can't wait to see the rest as well! Also, does each possible marking have an addition mutation variation?

@Gray:

From the above text. o3o

But yes, I think this is awesome as well! 8D Hope that Ancient has some mutation, haha~ <3 More swiiiirls!



I know my dreams are made of you
Of you and only for you
Your ocean pulls me under
Your voice tears me asunder
Love me before the last petal falls






However cold the wind and rain
I'll be there to ease your pain
However cruel the mirrors of sin
Remember beauty is found within

Yeah. As Shieba quoted, we won't be doing mutations for every marking, since some are a bit hard to add more too. As an example, I highly doubt we're going to ever make an addition mutation for Dingo since it already covers the vast majority of the body as is.

Wow, I'm dumb. Still, I'm really eager to see those quirks show up in some Paragon babies now!

I'm guessing from Kyrit's words that one of the current litter already has them. X3 Indeed, here's hoping!

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!

With another set of growth spurts, I can finally introduce the rest of our new breeding quirks!

Image

I don't have a good name for this quirk yet, but I've been calling it marking fade. As you can see lower down on her tails where the marking is more solid, it is on top of her Dweller marking, yet up at the top it doesn't have a black gradient cutting through her feyline. The way this quirk works is that markings have a gradient transparency, where they become more visible. Due to the nature of how this quirk is made (No two fades will likely be the exact same in transparency) this is another quirk that is only available through breeding. Sure you can try to mimic it with gradients, but your markings won't be see-through in areas like this quirk provides.

Image

While not the best example of it, this boy is sporting another rare quirk considered a deletion mutation. As with the addition mutation, they are only available through breeding and will be rather rare, but I wanted to take the chance to show it along with the rest of the new quirks. This time, the colored layer beneath his leopard spots was deleted, which I hoped to help show with the Appaloosa and Coontail between his Warrior and the Leopard spots. Deletion mutations work the same as addition ones in the fact that some markings will not be able to mutate and that he will pass on normal Leopard rather than mutated.

The breeding rules thread has been given an update, including a small bit of information about breeding seasons. The thread was horribly out of date (hadn't been updated since before the room keys became available) and definitely needed the update.

Also, after much more time than intended, a new breeding season has become available! Go check out the front desk for information on the Searing Sun season!

After being up a bit longer than intended (though Evelon was down for a good bit of that time), the breeding season has passed and we're back to normal breeding.

A new breeding season name the Spring Rainfall season has become available! If you'd like to check out the perks (may or may not be considered a perk by your standards) drop by the breeding center front desk and read all about it!

A new season, Winter Snowstorm has come out! I've been told this snowstorm will last until the end of the year! That's a pretty long season right there. Make sure you check it out if you plan on doing any breeding. For those worried about the consequences of the season.... There are new breeding potions!

The Charcoal Tonic and the Emission Liquor are now available in the Mage's Brewery, so you might want to go read up on what they do. ;)

Hey guys, enjoying those breeding keys from Valentine's? Sure seems like you are. Your pets are breeding like rabbits. :| Yet there are no Diosols.

This is a small update, but an important one nonetheless. Everyone's excited for the Soveris, and obviously people are ecstatic to breed them. So are we to make babies for them! There's just one thing: everyone is still learning all those new markings.

If you are breeding Soveris, make sure to list all the markings (main, mini, wing) they have!

Although we will try our best to identify them, sometimes they are hard to see when mingled with other markings or blending in with other colors. Unfortunately, if we don't see or notice markings, then we won't be putting them on your babies. That'd be a real shame, so bear with us as we try to get used to the markings. It's always a good idea to list them regardless of what species you're breeding, but it's especially important for the Soveris right now.

Thanks a lot, guys. Help us help you get good and accurate babies by listing all your markings when you breed!

Oh my god, Shrewdie, the second you wrote "Yet there are no Diosol" I got all excited and thought this would be a BB release post and then I read the rest ahaha. *cries silently*

To stay on topic, though: What if we ordered random Soveris and totally fail at recognizing the markings ourselves? D=

I'd say your best best is probably to ask Baal about them? She would know for sure what markings she put on them. :3
