So basically I've seen a couple of people doing playthroughs (idk if thats what its called or not but I'm just going to go with it haha) of their Niche saves so I think I'll do that too (in story mode, by the way), since it seems like a neat idea!! By the way, I'm new here so if I do anything wrong, please tell me!! Also, quick warning, I'm not exactly familiar with the terminology of all the different things in the game, so if something's unclear, sorry!!

My brain literally will do anything to get away from doing something productive. Basically yesterday I went to Target, got some gelato, did my makeup, took it off because it looked bad, painted my nails, ate some pasta, drew a whole sketch, played Niche for an hour, and texted for a bit so I didn't have to do homework. Am I the only procrastinator here, and if you procrastinate too, what's the worst bit of procrastination you've ever done?

Hi, my name's caracaal and I'm new! I'm not exactly sure how this place works, but I've been looking around the Niche discussions for a couple days and this seems like a pretty cool place!! idk how I didn't find this place sooner; I've been playing Niche for around two years (I found Niche in November 2016) and I've loved it ever since!! So anyways, I don't quite know how this whole thing works but I suppose I'll figure it out soon enough, haha

Alright so I've created my new save and named it "Playthrough Boi" so that's fun So of course we're starting off with stripey child Adam, as usual.I'm not sure why my mouse pointer was that far up, but moving on.. He's so far away from the port! Anyways, Adam ended up getting to the new island on the fifth day of his existence? time away from his home island? either way, it's been five days. It's fairly big for only the second island!And I've found Eve!! She's actually very pretty, and I'm not sure if its visible, but she has blue eyes. Maybe she can pass those on to her kids (hopefully).On the seventh day (Adam's second day on the second island) Eve is pregnant. I was looking at memes a second ago so I'll be using memes for the names of their kids So Adam and Eve's first baby is born and he's an unfortunate shade of yellow, but that's ok. He's called Kuvan, and since I'm feeling uncreative, I'm going to wait to give him his meme nameAnd there's the second baby, Vankukir, he's pink. And much prettier than his brother, honestly..On day 12, Eve is pregnant again because I want a baby girl or at least one with a claw; claws could be useful on future islands.So it's ANOTHER boy.. But, I mean, he has a claw and poison fangs, so I'll take it! He also looks essentially like a clone of his oldest brother (at least in colouring), Coincidentally his name is Vanku, which is basically his brother's when you reverse the syllables, so that's kinda fitting. Anyways, I'm going to breed Adam and Eve one last time before I move everyone to the next island, so Eve will be pregnant when they get there.The whole family's ready to move to the next island! Off topic, but I've decided not to give them meme names unless I have some massive wave of motivation to think properly within the next five minutes. Anyways, fifteenth day, next Island:To be continued when I have a functioning brain and have made a dent in the massive pile of homework I'm currently suffocating under.

They always take the good babies... 😿

I actually had a picture commissioned for a character I played. This was Vincent Dru'gotti, who went by the moniker of Lurker, to those who hadn't earned his name. He's a rogueish sort who was a teddy bear to those he knew and trusted, but I aimed for 'unmitigated brutality' in his dealings with people he didn't know well. The art is by the talented Gin May, who it appears hasn't posted new artwork in a while. Her B&W work is fantastic, which is why I decided against color on this one.

I remember playing a couple FFRP chatrooms for years; it's good to be able to just drop in to someplace active whenever the mood strikes you. But we got a lot of exactly what you describe, even with rules written about the need not to 'godmode'. (Eye Dee Dee Cue Dee, game over!) There was enough lameness to go around. We had one nerf-herder who played a character that couldn't die, but still went and dramatically committed suicide on a regular basis. We all started making a joke of it, competing to be the most nonchalant while he was lamenting his fate. One of my favorite lines in response was 'Huh. It must be Tuesday.'

1. It depends. Sometimes I leave them be if their genes are super awful and they are ugly, but if they are cute I will invite them in regardless! (See my last post of my journal to see an example) 2. I would isolate it from the others or release them far away from my tribe. 3. I agree. If I have a nice setup I will try to fight it off. If not I would run. 4. Most definitely wait! Unless everyone is about to die. 5. Keep the child!! Especially if it was in my bird tribe... I NEEEEED those bearyena hindlegs

Unless it's a horny male, I'd just ignore it. I'd make the nearest creature alpha and the sickly child an omega two days later. Then bing bing boom, they're exiled and I have them killed. Just run. It's not worth it. If they can only move one tile, then I'd just abandon them. INVITE THE BABY AND ENSLAVE IT FOR ITS GENES

So, here's some questions for everybody. Answer with how you would normally react if the event occurred in your tribe. A Wanderer with bad genes appears. What will you do with them? A sickly baby is born, and you don't want it in your tribe. What will you do with them? A Bearyena appears, and all your creatures only have one strength. Do you fight it off and suffer the consequences, or run and hope for the best? One of your favorite creatures is really slow, and gets left behind when the tribe heads for the port. Do you wait for them, or go on ahead without them? A Bearyena appears, and you kill it. It has a baby, and the tribe has an okay amount of food. What do you do? My answers: Well, I have a habit of killing the creatures I don't like, soo... If they're really cool, I'll probably keep them. If not, I usually let them get taken by a bluebird, or if I want to be really extreme, say they 'absolutely LOVE the water' and drown them. Probably fight it off while my best creatures run. Probably wait. Unless I really wanted some Bearyena Genes, I'd kill the baby.

1. They can still join my tribe anyway. Besides, it's still a chance to bring fresh blood into my tribe if I breed them with someone else to produce better children. Now, if they're bad enough that it's not worth breeding them and they can't be used for anything, then they become ape/bearyena/balance bear fodder. 2. I think it's cruel to kill or banish a baby just because it has bad genes. A few bad genes can be corrected if they breed with someone with better genes. Besides, I almost never have totally useless creatures. 3. If I have a decent amount of creatures, I fight it. In the bleak situation where I do have to run, then it's usually because my tribe is too small, in which case I'm pretty much screwed anyway. 4. It depends. If I intend to breed them, or if their ability to do something outweighs their slowness, then they're staying. If they're one half of a close couple, I don't like separating them from their partner. Otherwise, if they are very old or truly useless, then I leave them. 5. What if I end up in a situation where there aren't enough males to breed with my females?

1. Usually ignore it but if they take my food, kill or attack it. If it's a male and he doesn't have the worst genes or has new immunities or is pretty I'll have one of my females breed with him then ignore him. 2. Usually put it by a berry bush and have it collect there until it dies. If there's another sick baby I'll put them together and they can be friends. 3. Check the amount of time the Bearyena has left till it dies, and if it's low, gather my least favourite creatures in a circle around the Bearyena and kill it, even if it takes two days. Then stop the survivors' bleeding and go on with life. 4. It depends on how many days it'll take for it to get over. If I have a pair of mates that would get too old to have more than one or two kids, I'll leave the other creature behind. 5. Invite the baby immediately, Bearyena genes can be super useful, especially if the tribe has a lot of shared immunity genes.

This is the follow-up (not exactly a sequel) to "Expression" and "Unarmored". Remember the infuriatingly persistent guy our heroine hated so much from the first entry? They finally go to the woods he mentioned. I really like this one. There's good chemistry in these two. The personalities really intertwine into an experience for the reader, I think. I hope. I'm 99% certain that's supposed to be a girl on the guitar, (I seem to recall from comments on the art,) but the first rule of writing prompts is that you don't have to stick to the prompt. Impression Artwork:RV, by Kleg(DeviantArt) Original The RV – and me, laying on top of it – came into sight on the laptop’s screen as I piloted the drone up the hillside. My fingers danced over the keyboard, angling the camera to keep the RV in view. I eased the drone into the corridor that the road carved through the forest, and had it shed altitude as it closed in for a landing. As it settled to the roof beside me, I saw myself through the drone’s camera, shadowed but illuminated by the laptop’s screen. I smiled to see myself, and I watched my lips twitch into a smile. I’d never quite get used to that. I turned onto my side to dismounting the camera from the drone, connecting it to my laptop. I heard the ping that indicated the footage was downloading. It was a digital camera, of course. I typically shunned digital cameras as being the tool of the unskilled, but I needed lightweight video, and lightweight video meant digital. I looked up from my perch atop the RV’s roof and looked at Brian’s back. He was perched on the hood, playing his guitar. The drone’s noise hadn’t disturbed him – I wasn’t even sure he’d noticed it. He looked entranced, and suddenly I didn’t want to interrupt him. I watched him and listened as he played. He’d seemed so shallow when we met. A boy is looking to get friendly with a girl. But his interest in my photography had been genuine, and he respected my boundaries; boundaries that shrank, as my trust in him grew. Though we had different talents, we were each interested in each other’s work, and we both wanted to be good at what we did. You could tell how much he put into his music just from moments of listening, the notes sweet and smooth as honey, each one carrying you into the next. I couldn’t see his face, but I knew his eyes were closed, his brow furrowed with focus. The last notes trailed off, and I knew it’d only be a few moments before he started something new; this was my chance to interrupt. “I got the video.” “Oh, cool!” He hopped off the hood, setting the guitar carefully in its case. “Let me see. Where did you go?” He climbed up the ladder to join me on the roof, laying on his stomach beside me as I cued up the footage. “I took it down the hill to the river, and kept her low,–” “Her?” “–Yes, her.” My tone challenged him to laugh – to his credit, he did not. “I kept her low all the way up over the river, and came back when the signal got weak. Look. I caught a bear.” He smiled, and I felt his arm around my waist, felt his warmth close as he watched with me. With anybody else I’d dated, I would get uncomfortable, but with him, I trusted his intent. I couldn’t let him get too confident, though. He’d get cocky. “Watch it there, mister.” “Yeah, yeah.” He knew I wasn’t too serious. But he also knew that I wasn’t a ‘no means maybe’ kind of girl. He lifted his arm, settling it between us, and his fingers laced through mine as we watched the video run. “You weren’t afraid it’d go down in the water?” “I was terrified. It was worth it.” I felt my cheeks heating up as he squeezed my hand. Sometimes I hated the way I couldn’t keep myself from smiling or blushing around him. Nothing else made me feel less in control of myself. But nothing else made me feel like he did, either. It was terrifying. It was worth it. The video was ending, and I saw the scene where I came into view. I watched the girl on the screen see herself on the screen. She smiled to see herself from an unusual perspective, and then the image froze, the video over. “I don’t know how you do it. You always just seem to know how to look at things.” “It’s not about me knowing how to look. Well, it’s that, too.” I squeezed his hand, then pulled his arm over my back, leaning into his warmth. The same grip I’d warned him about before, but this time it was my choice. For some reason, it was better that way. “You also like looking at things the same way I like to.” “If I recall, the very first time I met you, I said that your choice of subject matter was ugly, and stank. But that photo was amazing.” “If I recall, I also told you I didn’t need you.” “And now?” I was quiet for a minute. His question was . . . complicated. “I don’t . . . I’m not a girl who needs people. But I want to be with you anyway. Is that okay?” He smiled, and I felt his lips brush my temple, and my cheeks burned. “That sounds exactly like you, so honest it hurts sometimes. But don’t ever stop being you. I wouldn’t like you so much if you weren’t you.” I pulled my laptop closed, and burrowed into his side, wishing I could hide my face. “Will you play some more, tonight?” I felt his fingers scratching at my back. I tried not to give away how nice it felt, but I’d already let out a contented sigh. Where did that come from? His voice was close enough to feel his breath on my ear when he replied. “Sure. For you.” I shivered from the spill of his breath over my skin. How does he do that to me? He got up, then, and climbed back down to the ground. It was getting darker, and we’d have to go in soon. For now, he perched on an old fallen tree and lifted the guitar from the case. He strummed the strings, and I climbed down to sit on the steps by the vehicle’s door, watching him. I could see his thoughts on his face as he sought a song. He was listening to the lingering notes, and I could see him looking for a song in them. I saw it in the furrow of his brow when he found it, the moment his seeking became determination, and his fingers began to dance on the strings. He opened his eyes to look at me, and I knew he wasn’t just playing for me, but to me. I once found myself surprised that this boy might have a chance with me. Tonight, I felt the same thing all over again when I realized that I might love him.

So this is kind of random but I have a question-- I've seen a few people doing playthroughs (if that's the right word, I'm not quite sure), and I realized that they were for a challenge that's closed. But I was wondering if it's okay for me to do something similar but unrelated to the challenge, like just documenting a new game that I'm starting? I just want to make sure I don't do something that I shouldn't, lol

for some reason, I saw 'the meaning of home' and thought 'Ohana means family'. Then my demented mind took a side detour through the wrong part of town, and I was suddenly stuck with an image of a marine with akimbo machine guns firing into the night screaming "OHANA MEANS NOBODY GETS LEFT BEHIND!" I'm done. That will be all.

Papyrus 115, the oldest known copy of revelations, notes the number of the beast as 616 - other ancient sources, such as the Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus agree, and some Greek translations noted 616 as a variant. General wisdom accepts 666 as the correct number, though. Irenaeus in the second century wrote a text suggesting that the greek character Xi was mistranscribed into the character Iota early on, which in the numerical system turned a 50 into a 10, and most people knowledgeable about the subject conclude that 666 is probably the correct translation.

I had that happen to me too. Sucks. Luckily a teck savy friend of my mom saved all of my data. Hope you get it all sorted

1. I invite them in. Don't need to breed them but usually find something for them to do. 2. Keep it around but make sure it doesn't get anybody else sick or if there is a bluebird see if it wants the baby (they usually only want my tribe babies and not rogue male babies pfff) 3. Fight it. I fight almost everything. 4. If it is one of my favs, I probably need it for the journey so we'll wait. 5. Depends on the story. Usually I invite them in but the last few tribes I had usually killed it because of revenge and stuff.

Depends on their age,aesthetic, immunity, andhow bad i need new blood. probably ignore it I always check my gene immunity before i breed, but usually i kill or banish them if it does ever somehow happen. Fight it off and suffer the consequences. Depends on how old they are. Tame it! I love bearyena genes.

If I have a lot of food, I'll take them in. If I don't love it, I'll leave it to the birds. If it survives, it will live it's life far away from everyone else, maybe even find love? Everyone repeats this: Move next to it -> Attack once -> Flee If It's the only one with an important gene, I'll wait Of course I'll tame it! It will hunt for me, protect my nichelings against other bearyenas and it could be a good mate!

1. There are always jobs open in grass cleaning. 2. If there is a bluebird around, I'll risk it. Otherwise, they can just collect food or help explore. 3. I've murdered a surprising amount of bearyenas with only one strenght for challenges. I don't mind if some die, as cruel as it is, it's expected. 4. I like to move with as few creatures as possible. 3 in the jungle, 2 everywhere else. 5. They're invited.

1. Kill it. We don't need it stealing our food. 2. Keep them at least one tile away from everyone else, but use them as a normal nicheling. If they have good genes aside from the immunity, perhaps breed them with someone. Maybe use them to pick toxic berry bushes. 3. Attack it with the creatures closest to it one time, then have everyone run as far away into the grass as possible. 4. Wait for them if their genes would be useful in the place we're going to, but leave them if not. 5. Take it in if we don't have enough strength already.

I actually did some research and the number 666 is associated with Satan, and that idea was first brought up in the New Testament and the Book of Revelation that it was Satan's number. It was later popularized in modern culture as such. Also no I totally didn't go on Wikipedia

Me: Oh, I wanna draw [insert somebody's name here]! *starts to make out the face. all seems to be well, except...* Damn! The right eye is too big! *erases right eye and makes it smaller so it compares to the left eye* wait... that smile with the new eye makes him look drunk. *erases smile and fixes it so he's frowning* now he just looks mad. *erases and tries to make a smile again... casually fails and makes him look drunk again* GAHHHHHHHHHHH *erases mouth and throws sketchbook out of window*

Duskstar has been reincarnated... for the third time. Dusktail love their clan, makes others happy and want to move territories. After a tough landing, the confused Duskkit/paw heads for the new port. Once on the new island, he encounters a female named Bumblelily. Bumblelily is bad with kits, wants to be brave and wants to move territories. Wow, look at that! They both want to move territories! Guess you know what that means! You thought they would immediately move territories? Nope. They are smart and decide to collect food for a few days first. Dusktail and Bumblelily don't really think of making a Clan at first, and don't even think much about becoming mates. Eventually, once they have enough food to last a while, they realize they like each other a little, and become mates. The first rain comes, and Bumblelily feels a strange feeling in her stomach, something she's never felt before. After a few days, she realizes what it is. "Dusktail! I know why my stomach hurts so much!" "Your stomach hurt? Bumblelily, you should have told me!" Dusktail gets distressed. "Please don't be mad, Dusktail. The reason my stomach hurt is that I'm expecting your kits!" Dusktail rejoices and is the happiest he's been since he lived on his Home Island. Then he realizes- how will he raise a kit without a Clan? He consults Bumblelily, and they agree they should start a Clan. They decide to call it DuskClan. The brand-new leader Duskstar feels like that name is familiar, but he can't quite figure out why. Duskstar and his deputy, Bumblelily, move to the next island. They soon find the perfect spot and have a kit, whom they name Lionstorm. Lionstorm is an average warrior, is a skilled hunter and isn't intimidating. Bumblelily isn't very good with handling Lionkit, though she does love him a ton. Duskstar looks after Lionkit while Bumblelily seeks out the nuts from the nearby tree. Soon a wanderer appears, and Dusktail, out of pity for the blind creature, invites him into the tribe. The cat's name is Cherryberry. They aren't very intimidating, would make a great medicine cat, and want to have kits. (Uh oh, looks like someone's gonna be breaking the Medicine Cat code!) Duskstar and Bumblelily have another kit and name her Emberkit. The cat is named Emberwhisper. They want to be connected with starclan, have a connection with starclan and are insane. (I'm gonna take this as they have a connection with Starclan, but don't realize it.) Cherryberry realizes he would like to be Medicine Cat. Dusktail takes Lionpaw as his apprentice. Emberpaw becomes the apprentice of Cherryberry, in hopes that he will be able to calm her insaneness by maing her a Medicine Cat too. Duskstar and Bumblelily have another kit and name him Shinekit. The cat is named Shinetumble. They are bad with kits, want to be a popular cat and want to be proficient in many skills. Because of her insaneness, Emberwhisper tries to convince Cherryberry to sneak away into the grasses and have a kit with him. Cherryberry has had a crush on Bumblelily all this time, and as Emberwhisper sounds so much like her mother, he thinks it's Bumblelily and agrees. Meanwhile, the Clan believes Emberwhisper and Cherryberry to be dead. The cat is named Blackseed. They are ambitious, have a connection with starclan and want to be proficient in many skills. As Blackkit is born, Emberwhisper finds a she-cat named Leafdust. The cat is named Leafdust. They aren't good at keeping the peace, are a bad fighter and want to be clan leader. Emberwhisper tries to reject her offer to join the Clan, but Cherryberry happily invites her in and sends her Duskstar's way. Bumblelily passes away, and Duskstar enters his second life. He makes Lionstorm deputy. Leafdust finds another wanderer who has mysteriously been damaged, taking twelve days from her lifespan, with only five days to live. The cat is named Ashblaze. They want to defend clan borders from rogues, are a good fighter and want to be proficient in many skills. Duskstar, feeling lonely after Bumblelily's death, takes in Ashblaze and makes her his new mate, partially due to the fact that she reminds him of his homeland. Emberwhisper tries to convince Cherryberry to be her mate again, but he retires as an elder and soon passes away of old age. Ashblaze and Dusktail have their kit. The cat is named Redbreeze. They make others happy, want to intimidate other cats and want to defend clan borders from rogues. Emberwhisper, being insane, decides she wants to fish and swims deep into the ocean to find fish. Blackpaw, horrified that her mother is going to kill herself and leave Blackpaw an orphan, stays on land and is found by Leafdust. (Duskstar had sent her to find the cause of Ashblaze's injuries.) Emberwhisper drowns as Blackpaw becomes Blackseed. Duskstar and Ashblaze frantically try to have another kit, but due to her low fertility, their attempts fail, and Ashblaze passes away the next day. Devestated at his second mate's death, Duskstar leads his Clan to the port. From left to right: Blackseed, Leafdust, Redbreeze, Lionstorm, Shinetumble, Duskstar. The new island is HUGE! Despite Leafdust's inability to do much, she and Redbreeze fall in love and soon have a kit named Cloudkit. Cloudkit inherited literally every good gene of his mother's, and received both of the mutations I gave her. The cat is named Cloudember. They are bad with kits, want to be a great warrior and are ambitious. Being the only untaken female, Lionstorm and Shinetumble fight over Blackseed. Duskstar lets Blackseed mate with one of them, on the condition that she only has kits until a female is born or found as a wanderer. Blackseed decides to become the mate of Lionstorm, due to him being Deputy, much to Shinetumble's disappointment. Shinetumble decides to set out to find a mate for himself. Lionstorm and Blackseed have their kit, a tom whom they name Smallkit. The cat is named Smallleaf. They are ambitious, want to make peace with other rogues and clans and love their clan leader. Cloudpaw becomes the apprentice of Shinetumble, thus joining him on his journey. Duskstar enters his third life. Smallpaw becomes the apprentice of Duskstar, as every other warrior is having kits or has an apprentice already. Redbreeze and Leafdust have another kit, Birdkit. The cat is named Birdember. They don't care about warrior code, are ambitious and are a bad fighter. Leafdust and Lionstorm retire as Elders. Redbreeze is made the new deputy. Blackseed was already pregnant when Lionstorm retired, so she has the baby. She names him Hollowkit. The cat is named Hollowmoss. They are a popular cat, aren't very ambitious and are a skilled hunter.

Alright, so I've seen some suggests asking for some type of creature creator/demo mode or whatever. I have been working on this for a while and I thought I'd make a new post since there's a lot more than just "A demo mode". This is gonna be mostly made up of pictures from what I call "Tutorial Mode" and I'll leave a link to a page with pictures without the text from tutorial mode. So first you can access this mode from the home screen like so: And then you would start at the creature creator (and to turn on tutorial mode you do this first (tutorial mode can be either be functional just with the yellow text or an example that goes away after you click)): Which can take you to either the creature list or the select mate screens which look like (also note that the scroll on the right on all screens is not accurate, and is just there to display its existence): (Where you can import creatures from save files like this: ) And confirming a breed brings you to the offspring list which is: Where there are trait statistics and custom filters (list of traits made by @Aysling here: https://strayfawnstudio.com/community/index.php?/topic/626-nicheling-sort-filter-and-select/&page=0#comment-2030) : Or you can go to the punnett square: And from anything outside of the creature lists, you can go to the gem colors (which you can find individually here: https://strayfawnstudio.com/community/index.php?/topic/646-customizable-and-programmable-gem-colors/) And the color cycle looks like this: And after all of that, you could use the creatures you used to start in sandbox mode like this: (Picture in production) So yea, that's all of it. Please let me know of any mistakes I might have made since this was a lot or of any logical inconsistencies. If you want to see the pictures without the text from tutorial mode, you can go to this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16dVKParfTHqHpSsuPD_UA_6cozEJ94_4Wtxpff6lIsE/edit?usp=sharing

A body covered in scales that is unlocked in the mutation menu once you reach the swamp island, same as poison fangs, except instead of giving poison they cause an inability to be knocked out by the bugs since they wouldn't be able to bite through it's scales and add an extra +1 defense because again, scales, (though they wouldn't be as strong as the armored body so only 1 defense) and with the speed of medium body. this would be useful in the swamp area since its so overcrowded with bugs and stinky tale is unlocked in an entirely separate location, making it very hard to keep your nichelings from getting attacked by the bugs. Since it is a swamp and the poison fangs look so snake-like this feature would work really well there, I think this body type would have the colors of the poison body since it's not fur, it's scales. I used a screenshot of a nicheling as a model to kinda show what I mean:

I think it would be really cool if there were some reptile-inspired genes in the game! Some reptiles these genes could come from might be: Camouflaging skin (Patterns Section) that gives added camouflage in any environment. Inspired by chameleons. Prehensile Tail that gives +3 Climbing to climb coconut/oak/jungle trees, to hide from predators or collect extra coconuts/acorns. Inspired by many climbing reptiles. Independent Eyes that give +3 Eyesight. Inspired by chameleons. Scaly Body, a negative trait that causes the creature to become too hot or too cold easily in extreme environments. Inspired by reptiles in general.

A Wanderer with bad genes appears. What will you do with them? I often kill nichelings with bad genes unless im desperate for genes A sickly baby is born, and you don't want it in your tribe. What will you do with them? I either send them off on their own, or feed them to birds/predators at a young age A Bearyena appears, and all your creatures only have one strength. Do you fight it off and suffer the consequences, or run and hope for the best? i have some attack/destract it, while others run One of your favorite creatures is really slow, and gets left behind when the tribe heads for the port. Do you wait for them, or go on ahead without them? i always make my best go first, so this often never happens. If were not in a rush, then we wait. If we are, we leave them. A Bearyena appears, and you kill it. It has a baby, and the tribe has an okay amount of food. What do you do? By "ok" i assume you mean mid amount (say alot is 100, ok would be 50) i would probably invite it, then if we need food later well eat the baby

Hierarchy at the beginning: Leader: Tinystar- golden she-cat Deputy: Finchlightning- cream striped tom Healers: Appleprickle- lean, dark brown tom Podstorm- rosy red and dark red masked she-cat Windpaw- lean, dark chestnut tom Warriors: Brackencry- brown she-cat Whorlleg- big, orange she-cat; mentor of Blizzardpaw Flintprickle- cream striped tom Olivetree- yellow striped tom; mentor of Snowpaw Berrysplash- yellow tom Nectarbranch- grey tom Poppypelt- cream tom Eelclouds- pale brown striped tom Thistleblaze- dark brown spotted tom Webstorm- dark brown masked she-cat Queens: Strikewhisper- brown and pale brown she-cat, mother of Flintprickle’s kits Apprentices: Snowpaw- dark brown tom Blizzardpaw- golden striped she-cat Kits: Jackdawkit- rosy and silver masked tom Sparrowkit- pale brown and grey masked tom Elders: Stumpymistle- brown and grey masked tom Poppypelt mentors Jackdawpaw. Berrysplash mentors Sparrowpaw. Tinystar dies, Finchstar takes her place and names Whorlleg his deputy. Strikewhisper and Flintprickle continue their family. They have Fallenkit, Rileykit and Stumpykit. Fallenear- wants to be popular, loves the leader and is a bad fighter Rileyfall- doesn't care much about the warrior code, she is popular and a skilled hunter Stumpysun- doesn't care much about morals, loves the leader and is a skilled hunter. Whorlleg just started a family with Nectarbranch. They have Tigerkit and Pebblekit. Tigergorse wants to be a medicine cat, is a peacemaker and is happy Pebblefawn is a good fighter, he wants a big family and is bad with herbs Finchstar finds a little baby wandering around and adopts him, he names him Foxkit. He wants to be a leader like his foster dad. Eelclouds gets to mentor Fallenpaw. Brackencry and Berrysplash have a child together even though no one of them really means it. Their kit is Beekit. Beetalon is a great warrior, explorer and stubborn Finchstar mentors Foxpaw, as if he didn’t have own children he is completely obsessed with the dark red tom. Blizzardheart and Olivetree fall in love. They have Fawnkit, Fennelkit and Duskkit. Fawnshine would be a great leader, he is a good fighter even though he isn't very intimidating Fennelblaze is a great warrior, not very intimidating and brave Duskbright wouldn't be a good leader, loves the territory and is a bad fighter Thistleblaze mentors Rileypaw and Podstorm mentors Tigerpaw; yeay another healer. Whorlleg retires and Olivetree takes her place. A wanderer by the name Olivedust is found by a patrol consisting of Poppypelt, Sparrowpelt and Jackdawfern. She isn't very popular as she stole one of the healing plants but she is skillfull. Meanwhile Finchstar is only concentrating on training Foxpaw, who is almost a warrior now. Snowsong gets to train Beepaw and Berrysplash becomes mentor of Fawnpaw. Nectarbranch trains Stumpypaw and Sparrrowpelt trains Pebblepaw. Olivedust and Poppypelt get closer because he is the only one not judging her to hardly for stealing the healing fruit. A bunch of elders dies. Thistleblaze is courting Rileyfall who is determined to find a way into the new territory which came as a sign to Windshadow. Finchstar is not interested in leaving, neither is Thistleblaze who tries to talk Rileyfall out of it but to no avail. Jackdawfern is all about exploring though and he and Rileyfall set out together to carve a path through the savannah at the edge of JuniperClan territory. Finchstar gives Foxleaves, who has just about been warrior for a few days Fennelpaw as an apprentice and names him deputy at the same time. The clan is very irritated. Podstream and Windshadow both see it as a bad omen that Finchstar chose young Foxleaves as deputy and urge the clan to leave the territory behind. They need to find a new home, surrounded by ocean. Eelclouds comforts Blizzardheart over the death of Olivetree and she becomes pregnant but with the clan in turmoil she doesn’t think giving birth right now is a good idea. The clan listens to the healers and they start to travel through the savannah. Finchstar is irritated about most of his clan leaving without permission, calling them traitors, Snowsong stays loyal to him though, Beetalon doesn't know yet. Blizzardheart ushers her last child away from the old and crazy leader, deciding to rather mentor her herself. Jackdawfern and the clan find a young female wanderer as they trek through the savannah, she is named Spottedfoot. Olivedust has also noticed Finchstar’s decline into madness and chooses Jackdawfern as the mentor of her and Poppypelt’s child Rainsweptpaw. Rainsweptleg is intimidating, despite being an average warrior and a very happy cat Finchstar dies and Foxleaves becomes leader but he lacks the support of his clan. The clan wants Blizzardheart to become the next leader, she isn't sure though. Pebblefawn takes down a bearyena all by himself. Blizzardheart names Duskpaw warrior and calls her Duskbright. Windshadow urges her to become leader but she wants to see how bad or good of a leader Foxstar will be. She also settles down in a makeshift nursery having Eelclouds child Woolykit. Woolystone is bad with kits, but still wants some and loves his clan Spottedfoot invites an old friend called Crouchsnout into the clan, both love their savannah home, now disturbed by a rather unsettled JuniperClan. With Foxstar approaching the nursery where Blizzardheart gave birth to Eelclouds child Woolykit, the clan draws near to hear the decision or help Blizzardheart in case of a fight. After a night of talking Foxstar and Blizzardheart come to an agreement. Obviously Foxstar can't win everybody over but he won't just step down, he also doesn't want to leave. Blizzardheart doesn't have a problem with leaving and will become leader of JuniperClan on the new island they will travel to. Left and down to right: Fawnshine, Duskbright, Stumpysun, Blizzardheart, Jackdawfern, Woolypaw, Fallenear, Tigergorse, Rileyfall and Beetalon.

Oh no! That is a very bed number...

You probably caught this already from the sound of your edit; the drones built from the factory would still crosstalk - the splitter has to be a child of the factory so that copies of the drone don't talk to each other. You're right that sometimes people put their sub-drones on decouplers - more, probably, when progression is implemented, and factories aren't something every newbie can throw around willy-nilly. I don't think there's much advantage or disadvantage for that scenario, where logic is either wired or wireless. No worries; you're bringing exactly what I hoped for. The real gold only shines through when you REALLY try to defeat an idea, and fail, not when you try to support it, and succeed.

Oh alright, that makes more sense! Thanks for the help!!

Sure. None of these are contests or anything. These forums are pretty open; the developers are basically just providing a space for people to get talking. The rules are pretty much don't be a jerk, don't spam us, and try to avoid obscenity if you can help it. Beyond that, go nuts; people who posted their playthroughs are pretty much just writing whatever they like, so feel free to do the same. Write the story of the glorious battle your nichelings died in, and how they find Valhalla when they arrive, if you like. Go nuts.

I think empty blacklsit being the default is probably easier. For the UI's sake, you can have the whitelist/blacklist selection appear to be blank until you click the arrows to toggle between them.

i just can't

Too... much... yellow... NO While Kinarri distracts it, the rest of the tribe collects their babies and run. Luckily, the Ape spawned in the part with thorns and bushes blocking it from where the tribe is going. No! Kinarri! The tribe has found two sisters who guide the tribe away from the Hearing Ape and to the nearest port. In their haste, the Tribe picks the nearest port, a flower one. They leave behind Neah, Lemar, and Evar, along with the bones of elders who didn't make it (including Milady and the grief-stricken Merlady- Milady had twins on her second-to-last day, who are going to the new island) The new island! (a day later) Woah! Apparently Toxic Body (from Jungla) is dominant over Spiky Body.

😱

Not as grand or silly as other posts in this thread, but I've been experimenting with using spring-cushioned jaws for collection missions.

Since competition is a big part of animal survival, I think it'd be super cool if it was in Niche!

Volume Three - The Poor and Abandoned The tribe was bewildered by their findings. This was just a small child... Velvet thought to herself, looking at him closer. A small child with no mom or home. He doesn't even have a name. She reluctantly invited him to their tribe and gave him a name: Vanrovan. The next day, Rameana had her child, and that blue bird from volume one somehow caught up to them. Tanukir named her Bella in memory of Barry, whose skeleton was at the bottom of the river. Remeana got bored and decided to call out for more creatures to see if they'd come, but an unwanted visitor came instead... "Horny male!," Velvet squealed, but it was too late... Velvet had spent the next day crying. She was face-to-face with her daughter in which she didn't want. Velvet had already named her daughter Apple, but she tossed her into the river out of frustration. Apple drowned. She first felt good about it, but then remembered Vanrovan, and how he was abandoned by his mother. Then Velvet felt even worse about herself and the tiny girl she had just drowned. "I'm a monster!" Velvet wailed. Back over to Remeana, she called out to see if there were any more wanderers nearby. To her surprise, there was, and he wasn't a horny male. He was quite handsome, too. "Hey, come here, my sweet Prince!--" "...Get the machine guns". A few days later, Apricot came up to Velvet. "I don't think you're a monster," he told her with a smile on his face. "In fact, I think you're quite beautiful." Velvet was flattered, but she didn't have the same feelings for him. "I'm sorry. . . You're a cool guy, but I don't think--" "Apple was the monster." Velvet looked back at him with worry in her eye. Did he say what I just think he said?, she thought. "Prove me wrong," he told her. Velvet gulped back some tears. "...You're right... She's the monster, not me..." Velvet and Apricot settled down and eventually had a child together. Actually, two children. Velvet named the first one Taroduk, and Apricot named the second one Tavan. TBA!

I was actually drawing (correction: Trying to draw) Nichlings earlier and I couldn't get THE DING DANG DOODLING eyes to be even.

Sorry this response is super late but here is my Adam clone (Adam's bones are the ones closest to the front of the screen)

The Unity UI Plugin is a pain in the ..... to use, but we also thought about adding the possibility to freely add more input/outputs (as the player wishes). I can't say if we'll implement that, but it would be interesting of course. upvote

This, plus the timing stuff coming up, would make sequential, animated motions a LOT easier. These could control phase 1, phase two, phase three, etc of a sequence of timed motions.

Rara the Ferncloud...

What do mean, 'no crabbits'?

Share all the stuff that happened to your Nichelings while they were in the jungle here! R.I.P.... R.I.P. a female whose father was a rogue-male, a beloved female, and their two rogue-born sons. Oh, look, an Ape and a Rogue Male are here too. Last and not least, Mekoko, the Goddess of Trickery. (She appeared to the same tribe as the one just above) First of all, she appeared to a Nicheling who was inside a carnivorous plant as his relative tried to help get him out. I thought she was trying to save this poor creature at first, but after the next event it looks more like she was helping the plant eat its victim. Eee. Then, as two females who were pregnant with a Rogue Male's children were searching for a safe place away from the carnivorous plants and sickness bugs, Mekoko appeared yet again. The two females followed her, expecting a safe place. They found a place seemingly safe,and had their sons. Later, as these two mothers were swallowed by carnivorous plants and taunted by a Big nosed Ape, they were mistaken. This 'Goddess of Safety', as they called her, was not a Goddess of Safety. She was a Goddess of Trickery. *dun dun DUNNN*

@Philo understandable, as someone who has no idea how to develop games I'm sure there are some ideas that are cool in concept but very difficult in practice, but maybe someday. Again I have no idea what I'm talking about but to make these 'skin' textures wouldn't they be layered over the base of the body types/face types. which truly sounds like a whole lot of work I have no idea how many artists you guys have but I feel like a whole skin range would take a large team. But by taking the base models of lets say big body and adding going through creating the skin types over it, like scales/no fur/long fur, then going through each body type, leg type, and face type. Writing all this out I feel bad for suggesting now because WOW that sounds like an intense amount of work. Let me know if this makes no sense and this isn't how it works at all but that's just how I've always imagined the fur patterns were implemented.

Cool suggestion! The problem I see with this (which is a problem we have in general), is that the body also changes other body parts, such as the legs. Maybe the best solution here would be to add "Skin/Hair Types". So "Scales" would then the a type of skin. Other types could be long fur, no hair etc.
