The green one is for jungle and grassland. It's a kind bear, that will only become angry if you attack it. It wanders around and eats grass. You can give it nesting material, then it will hang around for a while. Bearyenas and apes are scared of it, so keeping it around is useful ^^7 points

just a top tip for generally anything you see that someone has made on the internet: if you don't like it, give criticism. people that create things will 100% of the time appreciate you telling them what to improve upon, because they may have not realised that themselves, and will be thankful once they improve that thing you pointed out and realised how much better it looks. just dont say "this is so bad" or "I hate this" because that's not really helping anyone. sorry for the paragraph-long life lesson, I just thought this is important to know, youre probably older than me lol6 points

I had the same thought about not appreciative. I think the bears will look a lot better once they are properly rendered5 points

That is a great idea, something to scare the apes away sounds so useful! (Not that there seem to be many apes around at the moment) They are pretty funny looking ^^5 points

In my experience, they have unlimited moves so that they can hog all the berries from the berry bushes5 points

Coincidence? I think not These are called Ireland Basalt Columns4 points

I agree with Basil, If you give them less humanoid looks and postures I think they will fit the game better (the hands bother me a little...). Also the 'kind' bear currently doesn't look very kind. Is that the idea to scare away bearyenas? Overall they look great though!4 points

We indeed saw these pictures But that was after we chose hexagons, so it wasn't a direct influence.4 points

From a lore standpoint, I think its a situation with The hormones. Maybe, a nicheling's gems have something to do with hormones. Once they are in a pack, even if its just Two, nichelings become much calmer since they have an avilable mate, and they can split resource gathering and exploring between each other, so as a result, do to the help from others, they become much lazier and sloth like in nature. However, wanderers have no partner, so they have to find food and mark territory all by themselves, while also running from predators and trying to secure a mate. With all this trouble, their body excretes extra hormones, accelerating their metabolism to extreme levels, Changing from being sloth like to shrew like in nature. They are much better at surviving by themselves, but this comes at the cost of a super rapid metabolism, so they eat every resource they can find in order to keep going.4 points

I have 101 hours on Niche now I know it doesn't sound like a lot to many of you but for me this is a great milestone! I officially have no life That's all bye3 points

I actually really like these new bears, my only issue is the eyes on the green one. They feel just a touch too intense and not animal like if that makes sense, I think maybe if the eyes were more like nichelings? colored and then with a pupil. I feel bad giving criticism like this because I know a lot of hard work goes into making these creatures and I don't want to make it look like I'm not appreciative.3 points

Lemme just be purely honest: I don't like the new bears... mostly because of their humanoid like features. Both of them look too human, in fact. The hands is the biggest issue I have, along with the posture they have. When I was thinking of new bears I was thinking of something similar to the Bearyena. Looks like a wild animal that could cause harm, right? Bearyenas look like Nichelings somewhat, featuring similar characteristics. These two bears, however, don't give me the same feeling.

So, I love nimble finger. It's super useful for collecting berries. But I don't like how if you want your nichelings to be good at collecting, you HAVE to have nimble finger. If you want your niches to be good at swimming, you don't HAVE to have water body. You can use webbed feet, webbed paw, swimming tail, or tailfin. That's 4 different options. Body, hand, foot, and tail genes. If you want your nichelings to be strong, you don't HAVE to have claw. You can have big body, spiky body, horns/anthlers, sabertooth fangs, bearyenna head, bearyenna legs, or hammer tail. That's 6 different options! Body, head, horn, hand, foot, and tail. But with gathering, it's mostly limited to the hand genes. Yeah there's bird beak, but that's only +1 collecting. I don't like having to be forced to have 2 nimble fingers to be good at collecting, I want more options like the other genes. So that's why I'm proposing nimble feet. So we have more options with the collecting skill. Adds +2 collecting. Looks like monkey feet.3 points

Hi, a few of you may have followed the Immortal Minerva playthrough I did that sadly ended because the save file got deleted. I may pick that back up some day by recreating Minerva but after reading @bostonlobstah most recent playthrough I was completely inspired to do something similar. So, with that said. This playthrough will follow our immortal creature Light, a creature from the sacred Home Island. As a child she was carried off by a blue bird to a distant land, dropped into a vat of tar that has granted her two powers, Immortality, and the ability to 'heal' other creatures. These healings follow a set of rules. 1. If a creature is found blind, with a no paw, or with swimming hindlegs, Light may 'heal' the creature by giving them a paw of any kind, normal hindlegs, and normal eyesight. 2. She can 'Heal' a creature by bringing out it's recessive genes. If a creature is found, for example, with a spitsnout and no horns, Light can look into their genetics and bring forth antlers and poison fangs they have in their recessive slots. 3. Light can give the creature any paw based on the creatures personality. A strong warrior may be given double claws, while a swift runner would be given running paws. All she wants is to return back to the Home Island. With the home immunity genetic proving her status, her journey begins. Our story begins on a very calm island. With bounties of grasses and berry bushes, why would any nicheling ever dare to leave for riskier lands? Light sighs, having now reached adulthood she's realized that she no longer ages. If she fights to survive, she can now make it back home. Thoughts of her mother and brothers flood her mind and she begins to rush towards the ports in the north. Though she knows she'll never make it there in time to see them alive, she will someday make it back, maybe in time to see their grandchildren's grandchildren. As she rushes through the brush, she comes across a blind creature sniffing the ground in search of food. Upon hearing her footsteps the child's head lifts, ears tilted in her direction. Light feels a deep sense of sadness for the child, her heart aches as she wishes she could give him the ability to see. "Hello?" the child calls out. Light walks up to him and gently whispers. "You're alright, I won't hurt you" With a small lick to the head, the creature begins to tremble. His injured paw begins to extend, slowly forming back into a runners paw. The fog in his eyes fades away with every blink, turning into a beautiful shade of brown. He looks around wildly and stutters "I....I can see.." The creature introduces himself as Haze, telling Light of how as a child he wandered too far from the nest, and was never able to find his way back. Since then he has searched endlessly through the island for his family. Now, with the gift of sight, and a healed leg, he may just be able to find them again. Light tells him she will travel with him as far as she can, but she has her own family to find someday. The two stay together for many weeks before reaching a point of conflicted interests. "I have to keep going North now, Haze." Haze shakes his head. "I can't go any further, I have to keep looking for them. I think this might be where we part." Light gives him a smile and wishes him the best. The two go their separate ways, hoping to find the ones they love. Light continues North, now alone for the first time in a long time. Though she misses Haze, her mission carries her forward. Finally she comes to the edge of the island. The great ocean beyond her, with stepping stones alone the way. She stands before them, looking at the island off in the distance. "To Home" She whispers before bounding across the rocks. Once she hops off the final stone, she looks in awe of this new island. Trees she has never seen before tower in the distance, some grass of very dry and brittle variety blows in the wind. Patches of thorns grow in swampy areas littered with mud and debris. It will only get more challenging from here, the islands connecting to Home become more dangerous with every crossing, as a precaution to keep those who don't belong away. Time to get moving. Light trudges through the island, wondering what secrets it holds in it's brush Light travels for a few days before stumbling upon her first wanderer in the grasses. He is blind, and hobbles with a broken leg. Reminding her very much of her old friend, Light calls out to him. "I have the power to heal you, friend, would you like me to give you the gift of sight?" The wanderer, not sure if this is some type of prank, cautiously accepts her offer. Light closes her eyes and concentrates intensely, bringing back his eyesight and healing his injured paw. The creature is amazed, asking if he can join her on her journey. Light, happy for the company through this strange land, accepts. He introduces himself to her as Kindid. The two travel for some time before falling in love. Light becomes pregnant and worries this will slow down her ability to get home. As the pair continue, Light getting closer to her due date, they stumble upon a creature named Zero, injured from an encounter with a Bearyena. Light tells him she can fix him, again closing her eyes to concentrate deeply. His paws begin to grow back into place, giving him two perfect runners legs. He decides to join the pair as well, knowing this island can be dangerous and it's best to not go alone. As the group continues on, Light reaches a point where she has to stop. "I can't go on any further, the kit will be here soon." She prepares a nest for herself and readies for parenthood to begin. Her mind swims with doubts and worries, but come that morning her child is born. Within a second of seeing him all her concerns vanish. She loves him immediately, and knowing that she is blessed with immortality, the journey home can wait. She names him Spots. For the first time since she was a child, Light really stops and stays in one place to raise her son. Once he grows old enough the group continues onward towards the Northern Port. They take their time, allowing Spots to keep pace, and collecting some food and nest material as they go along. Within a few days, the group comes across another wanderer, the first wanderer Light's come across that she didn't feel the need to heal. She's quite young, just a touch older than Spots. Her name is Shell, she ran away from home long ago and has no intention on going back, she wants to explore the world. Light gives her a smile. "Then you've come to the right place." The group trudges on for a while. Still collecting, still gathering. They feel at peace for a short time, allowing themselves to stay put for multiple nights at a time, clear away grasses and settle down. Until Zero catches a scent in the brush. A creature is watching them, his scent is bitter and off putting, unlike most wanderers who come with a more calming scent. This nicheling means them harm. Zero and Kindid create a barrier around the others. "We have to move. Now." They take off, racing for the ports, the creature behind them the whole way. Occasionally catching up and receiving slashes from Zero or Kindid at the back of the pack, the creature eventually gives up and takes off into the brush, never to be seen again. The crew, now terrified of this land, hurries North. The journey is quicker now with the children having become full grown in their teen years. The group begins to stumble upon scattered remains. With the smell of the ocean getting closer, Light knows the stones will be close. As the reach the lands edge, there are more and more scattered bones, until they come upon the port, A large rock with a nicheling skull sitting atop. The group leaps across the rocks, making it to a brand new island. It looks so peaceful here, the grasses look healthy and dense. The pack is excited that they may be able to take a pause after running for so long. From the rocks they came in on they can see the next port to the side of the island, with blue stones shining in the sunlight, the pack decides it would be best to gather as much as they can, as they have no idea where the blue rocks will take them. The group finds a nice place to settle. They create nests for themselves and sleep under the branches of berry bushes. Time passes and Light becomes pregnant again, this time though she isn't afraid. She has eternity to return home, and for now she has found her family. While gathering materials for her birthing nest, she stumbles upon a wanderer. Her name is sloth. Upon seeing her large paw, Light offers to heal it for her. Sloth is taken aback. "I love my paw, how else would I dig up my favorite roots?" Light nods, and the two return to the camp. Some time passes and Light settles on her nest to birth her next kit. Zero catches a familiar scent. "There's another creature here, quickly, get behind me." The female nichelings gather behind the males, who claws ready prepare to face the intruder. On the night of the birth, it emerges from the brush, walking directly up to Light. When Light wakes she sees not only her new kit below her, but also the rogue staring her down. His two front paws are badly damaged, and his hind legs are splayed like a frogs. He looks down to see the kit, another spitsnout like himself. Light sees a great sadness behind the rogues eyes, and she leans forward to give him a gentle lick on the head. His paws begin to return to their normal state, and his legs retract to that of a land creature. He gently lifts his paws to look them over, and with a thankful glance he looks to Light before dashing off into the brush. As for the kit, Light decides to name him Razzle. With beautiful spots like his brothers and sharing both of his parents powerful claws, he is an intense sight to behold. One that was powerful enough to stop a lonesome rogue from attacking. Light, now tired from healing the rogue, sleeps next to her new kit, ready for the dawn of a new day. Now we've reached a point where poor Zero and Kindid have grown old. The two eventually pass away within a few days of each other. Light mourns the loss of her mate, but remains strong for her children. Almost as sign, a nicheling wanders into camp. She has the poison fangs of Light's Homeland, and instantly gives her hope. Shell brings her into camp. Her hind legs are splayed similar to the rogues. She introduces herself to the group as Decara. She is a distant relative of the Homeland, her very early decedent was captured by a bluebird as a baby, similar to Light, but was not blessed with immortality, and with such was unable to make it back Home. She tells them that many of her relatives roam this island, though none but her want to make it back to the Home island. They agree to bring her with them, and Light calls the nicheling over. She closes her eyes and concentrates. Decara's legs begin to return to a proper shape. "There." Light says with a satisfied grin. "Now you can keep up." The group decides with this new member having such a similar mission, it's time to move forward. They tread on the blue rocks, carefully making their way to the ports. A few rabbils sit beside them, as though they're ready to go as well. They look out into the ocean and notice that there are no stones to step across. "What? How are we supposed to get across this ocean then? I can't even see the island from here." Spots mutters, as confused as the rest. As if on cue, the blue stones begin to shake, and the group begins to move across the sea as a massive whale brings itself to the surface. Confused and now stranded on the back of a whale, the group tries to understand what's going on. "when it came to the surface the rocks must have caught on its back. There's a whole forest here, who knows how many ports this whale has broken." Dacara states, wandering through the wet brush. The group makes the best of the scenario, moving from the tail to the whale's lower back. Realizing they're be here for quite some time, they set up a little camp for themselves. Dacara and Razzle begin to develop feelings for one another, and Decara becomes pregnant. Within a few months the child is born. With large ears, velvet colored pattern and horns, and two sharp claws, Decara deems she is a perfect warrior, and names her Vikara. While Razzle and Decara raise their daughter, and Spots and Shell spend their time searching the island, Light sits alone and watches the waves lap against the Whales sides. She hears the shuffle of feet and the rustle of brush behind her. She turns to see a small creature with horribly broken paws, but with fur as red as fire and eyes burning with the passion of a bull. Within seconds of seeing him Light knows he was a proud warrior before whatever incident injured him so, and before even speaking a word to him she calls forth all her power to bring out the true warrior within him. His broken paws heal and stretch into mighty claws, and two sleek horns grow from his head. "How....How did you do that?" The nicheling questions, looking at his claws in awe. Light tilts her head up slightly with a smirk. "I have healed many creatures in my time on these islands, but never have I brought forth such a strong creature. I suppose you didn't just need to be healed, you needed to be set free." Instantly the two are in love, he introduces himself to her as Luci. The two now sit together and watch the water rush by. Meanwhile, Decara, much older than Rustle and even Shell, reaches her final days. She rests surrounded by her family and passes in the night. Vikara begins to wonder if they will all die on this whale. This is pretty long so far, so I think I'll end here and continue the final part later. Hope you're enjoying so far.

And now the final part, going to try to make sure all images have a fixed place like @RandomWanderer said to avoid the pictures getting stuck at the bottom. By now some time has passed, Shell, Spots, and Razzle have all passed away of old age, and Vikara has reached her teen years. One day a creature falls from the sky and crashes down onto the whales back. He's a small child, with a singular wing on one side of his body. Upon seeing this creature crash down, Vikara quickly scoops him up and carries him to Light. Light looks down at the injured child from her stump and uses her power to look deep into his genetics. She pulls forth a bigger body for the creature, coated in dense red feathers. His runners leg begins to stretch outward, slowly becoming coated in feathers. When the creature comes to, he is shocked to see he now has two wings, and therefor the ability to fly. He expresses his gratitude to Light and introduces himself as Poke. By this point Light is pregnant with Luci's child. She sits upon a nest former on the stump and prepares to bring new life to the world. That night she sleeps and the baby comes. For the first time, Light has a daughter. With lovely pink fur and a black pattern swirled around her eyes, Light decides to name her Panda. Panda is light spirited and fun, and greatly enjoys wandering on the back of the whale, which could be dangerous as she could easily fall in the water, but under the watchful gaze of Poke, who sits atop the trees, she is always safe. Time passes and in the distance the group sees the whale is approaching an island. It's terrain looks elevated and rugged, but it's either get off now or potentially never get off. When the whale is within a good distance of the island, the group leap off into the waters, swimming to shore. The group looks at their new surroundings, feeling the icy chill of the wind. They explore their new surroundings, finding that if they don't keep together to stay warm, it becomes harder and harder to move around. They mostly gather by the rare clusters of brush, while Poke takes to the skies in search of food and predators. He notices something very strange below, a huge block of ice, upon landing down next to it, he realizes there's something inside. Light comes over, helping Poke to cut open the ice with her strong claws. Inside they find the frozen body of an ancient nicheling. Light takes a deep breath, and focusing greatly she uses her powers to bring life back to the statue. The creature blinks open it's eyes and looks up at the two. She has a very odd looking muzzle, which droops down to her chest. She looks to be only a teenager. "What's your name little one?" Light asks. "It's Piper." They return to the group to see that the others have met a wanderer of their own. His name is Fade. Light looks at him and gently walks around him, using her power to search deep into his genetics. A powerful warmth is shaking off of his body from deep below the surface. He looks at her in confusion, hobbling on his missing paw to try to keep up with her gaze. Light climbs up atop a bunny hill and takes a deep breath. She uses her powers to reach deep into his recessive genetics. Fade's legs begin to straighten out, paws touching the ground. Suddenly fiery orange tips of fur expand from his chest, growing into pointed flames. He opens his eyes to see the clan staring at him in shock. From his body radiates a heat that brings them immediate comfort and warmth. Vikara is instantly smitten for him. Within a short time, Vikara is pregnant with Fades child. She sets up a place to nest, with Fade's heatbody keeping her warm. The island gets colder with every night and the group isn't sure how long they can stay here. Light tells Vikara that as soon as the child is able to leave, they will have to do so, and she agrees. The baby is born and she is a perfect blend of her parents with her fathers fur tone and spitsnout, and her mothers horn, claw, and pattern. Her name is Posi Fade and Vikara reach an old age as they raise Posi. When it comes time to hop the ports they know they'll never make it across. The two say goodbye to their child, and Light promises she will protect her. The couple huddle together in the brush, watching their family bound across the rocks, Poke flying overhead. The clan can only hope that wherever this port leads, it will be warmer than this island. Upon reaching the island, Poke takes to the sky and sees 3 blocks of ice. While the clan moves North towards the ports, he heads west to get one of his own. The island is large and colder than the one before, the clan knows they have to move quickly, because rain on this island could lead to freezing to death. Poke lands down next to an ice block, but worries he isn't going to survive long enough to bring the body back to Light to reanimate. Upon breaking open the ice he finds that the creature inside is still alive. With large mammoth paws keeping her warm, she never became a statue within the ice. Her name is Kata. Poke tells her that he is reaching his final days, but he will do his best to carry her back to his group. Meanwhile on the opposite side of the island, the rest of the group has discovered an iceblock of their own. They gather around it and look closely, within they can see the silhouette of a creature. Using their claws, they quickly pry open the iceblock, revealing a beautiful cracker jawed creature frozen within. Light uses her powers to bring warmth and life back to the creature and she looks up at them, swinging her large hammer tail around her body to break off leftover bits of ice. Happy to be alive again, she is glad to join the group. Her name is Derla. She looks at Piper's snout and comments that she used to have a great enemy back in ancient times with the same long drooping muzzle. The two had a lot of conflict because they had been friends, but the digging snouted created had ended up stealing Derla's mate. She sighs, realizing that in the time she's been frozen in the ice, that creature probably had a family of her own with Derla's true love. Meanwhile, Poke makes good on his promise and carries Kata as far as he can before he can't go on any longer. She keeps him warm on his final night, and then at dawn continues alone. After a few days of travelling, she finally meets up with the clan. The group continues on and reaches the port, in front of it stands one final large iceblock. The group gathers around the block and begins to claw away at it. The group considers simply walking around it and continuing to the ports but Derla states "Whoever is in there, we have to get them out. To be lost in time is an awful feeling. I want nothing more than to save those who had a fate like mine " The group agrees and begins to claw away at the ice. The creature is broken free and Light quickly uses her power to revive life into the statue. They all smile at the new creature. well, almost everyone does anyway. Derla whispers from the back of the group. "Danda." Kata, without looking to her, asks "What?" but Derla doesn't answer. They reach the ports but realize the stones will never hold if they all try to travel across. Kata offers to stay behind, knowing that this place is her home, she survives the best in the cold. "That's still one too many people" Derla says, eyeing Danda. Panda speaks up. "I'm the oldest here, I'll stay back." Light is outraged. "What? No you have to go forward with us. You're my daughter. What if the next island is home?" She shakes her head. "My times up mom, you have to go forward without me." The clan sadly makes their way over the rocks, landing on a small island full of green brush and warm air. The clan is ecstatic to reach safe land to catch their breath on. Piper begins to notice growth in Posi's belly. "How can you be pregnant? We haven't had a male in our clan since we left the summer mountains." Posi looks at her with pleading eyes. "Please, you can't tell anyone. I'm going to have this child in secret, raise it on the far side of the island." She looks at Piper with deeply sad eyes. "This was never supposed to happen." Piper takes pity on her and agrees to keep her secret, telling the others that Posi has gone to explore. Meanwhile Light comes across a beautiful wanderer, and immediately falls in love. His name is Shade. Light becomes pregnant and in 3 days she gives birth to 3 sons. Jasper, with a pure brown face, cloak, with red velvet fur, and Mask, with white fur curling around his eyes. A short time passes, Derla and Danda stay on opposite sides of the island. One day Darla comes across a very small kit swimming through the water. He makes his way up to her and flops himself onto the shore with a squeak. She decides to name him Nibble. The clan begins to worry about Posi. By now all the triplets are teenages, and Posi should be reaching her final days. Light wanders through the unexplored parts of the island and finds her, old and weak, with a she nicheling standing by her side. The creature swings her head up to smell the air, her foggy blind eyes reflect the sunlight. "Hello? Is someone there? Please, can you help my mother?" Light, quickly understanding the situation, sits down next to the creature. "I'm sorry my dear, I can't. But I can help you." With a deep breath Light looks deeply into the creatures genes, she finds the poison fangs, and smiles, bringing them forth on the creature, as well as bringing her the gift of sight, and bringing out beautiful antlers. Light looks at her, then back to Posi. "There was no need to run you know. I've been lucky to escape all the rogues that have come into my path over these many years, I could have brought sight to this child long ago." Posi looks up at her weakly and gives a small smile. "Her name is Dolita. I wish nothing more than for her to find the Home Island, like her great grandmother wanted so long ago. Ever since Vikara, we have been a mix of the bloodlines. A combination of Adam and Light, if the line had died with me, my grandmother's genes would have never reached home. You have to go, you have to take her there." Light nuzzles against her. "I will. I promise." That night Posi passes away, and just a few days later so does Shade and so do Danda and Darla. Light decides now is the time to continue on, and they move to the end of the island. In the distance Light immediately begins to feel a sense of Home. She gasps. "Thats it. It's right there." The group prepares to make their way across when they notice Nibble getting into the water. Light tilts her head. "Won't you come with us Nibble?" He shakes his head, and dives into the water, taking off into its depths. Light takes off across the stones, the others in quick pursuit. Upon arriving she immediately yowls out to the others. Wanders begin to come into the clearing, with big stripes and lovely poison fangs they sniff the newcomers over. "You have our immunity gene" A large tom whispers, looking into her genetics. A power that Light did not realize had come from the island. Excited creatures begin to swarm around them, desperate to hear all the stories of the lost child Light, and are even more excited to find that with them is Dolita, distant distant relative of Adam. The creatures begin to groom Light, and she starts to shake. "What....what's happening" The tar that has been attached to Light's fur for so long begins to come off, revealing gleaming white fur striped in black underneath. When the tar is removed from her muzzle, it reveals a shining set of poison fangs. "You are finally home child, you are finally your true self." (Hope you all enjoyed, this was just a quick little playthrough I really wanted to do. Took about 3 hours to complete and I really loved it. At some point I may do the side of the story from Adam, eventually creating Decara to make the storylines meet up. I might also do a few short stories for Haze, the very first creature Light met, and one for Nibble because it broke my heart to have to leave him behind. Thanks for reading.) Very confused why this ^ is still happening because I was careful when pasting all the images, and when I delete these they still dont go away.2 points

This question is basically all in the title, but for as long as I've played this game I've always wondered why our nichelings are limited to their 3 gems but a wanderer/rogue can move/gather as much as they want without running out of energy. This has never really made sense to me considering that they're the same creatures as nichelings, especially with the fact a wanderer added in is now limited to the 3 moves.1 point

Does that include wanderers (like Meringue)? If it does, well, thank goodness you did Meringue before you made this rule! Also, I have a completely pink goddess (of Beauty) named Berri that will be on my gods and Goddesses page, so you can always add her1 point

I'm back! And after a long absence, I came up with my own way to keep my Niche playthroughs fresh; a challenge based on the social structure of wolves. I know that this sort of challenge has already been done before but here is my take on it. Please let me know if you try it and if you like it, please give me ideas for more animal based challenges. I am thinking of making rules for a lion challenge and a hyena challenge too. Rules Can be done on any island but I perfer starting in snowy biomes because of their abundance of prey and the challenge they present. Your starting male and female are your first breeding pair. Mark them both as alphas. As long as they are alive, they are the only nichelings in their pack allowed to breed. When a nicheling gains all three of their gems, they can stay in their natal pack or disperse at any time. But be aware that when a nicheling leaves its natal pack, that it can never return. Dispersal nichelings can either start new packs or live as lone nichelings. Give any new pack a new gemstone colour combination and give lone nichelings their own unique combination too. Only accept wanderers with the ability to hunt. Children born to rogue males must leave their natal packs when they gain three gems. If there are no nichelings suitable to succeed the breeding pair when they die, the pack has officially died out and any remaining nichelings must disperse. I'll probably be posting this onto the Niche Challenge steam group too 🙂1 point

I sometimes get really annoyed by the fact that they have unlimited moves but I see why it would be there from a gameplay point of view. Much like Randomwanderer said1 point

I kinda imagine one of the new bears to be purple, don't know why and if it was purple maybe it would live in the jungle? Or an orange-yellow oasis bear, since they fish as well1 point

The light of dawn settled on the newly-founded territory. The clans are just beginning to wake up, DarkClan being the earliest risers. With the recent passing of Frondsight, the clan was ready to perform their greatest in honor of him not getting too far. Patchstar climbs her way up a tree, and calls to BrightClan's leader, Waspstar. The two communicate, and agree to organize patrols of cats to begin setting up a border between the two territories. In DarkClan, Patchstar chooses herself, Rainfur, and Heatherstone, Heatherstone being the closest to Frondsight when they died. In BrightClan, Waspstar chooses Meadowfin, Brightclouds, and Mallowbird, as Meadowfin and Brightclouds are the clan's fastest warriors, and Mallowbird could be useful healing material in case anybody got hurt. Meanwhile, the rest of the two clans go to work with exploring the areas closest to their camps while the border is set. Robinflight, the medicine cat, and Beeflight, the deputy, head towards the topright coast. Shortly into the journey, they find a small sort of hollow, with a berry bush, a friendly carnivorous plant, and a cactus all together. Robinflight is astonished at the variety found in one area. And besides, how did this carnivorous plant even get here? It may be the only speck of jungle vegetation on the island! Robinflight instantly extends the camp to reach to this place, deciding to make it the place where he and his apprentice meditate to contact StarClan on half moons. Little does he know, each plant has a connection to each part of the afterlife. But which plant represents what part? Meanwhile, Waspstar, Copperstride, and Dustnose explore the topleft coast. They don't seem to be finding anything as interesting, except for a few bushes. Perhaps this could be the clan's food gardens? There's quite a variety, such as coconuts, berries, poison berries... and poison berries. Also, a root. Also, it seems Amberpelt is sitting by the river, keeping watch over the fish, kelp, and rabbit burrow. Mothpelt, who is off-screen, walks over, showing interest in crossing. And in the meantime, Slipthorn sneaks out to join the border patrol, despite not being invited. Maybe she just wants something to do, since her clanmates are doing literally everything else. Meanwhile in DarkClan's camp, those bugs are really getting on the can's nerves. "I guess we attract all the friends! Bugs and snails, what great companions!" Hazeleyes jokes. "I could do without being constantly sleepy, but I guess," Talonfoot mumbles back, barely audible. The tom pads away from the sleepy puddle bugs, and curls up to doze. Meanwhile, the patrols have seemed to find a starting point for the border at the edge of a stream. The cats discuss among themselves, and agree to have Meadowfin and Slipthorn from BrightClan as well as Heatherstone from DarkClan begin making a border tracing to the blue port that has a surprisingly chilly atmosphere behind DarkClan's camp, while Brightclouds and Mallowbird from BrightClan as well as Patchstar and Rainfur from DarkClan extend the border to the port in the opposite direction, which has the same peaceful tone as the current territory. Meanwhile in the background, BrightClan's camp is being extended, Mothpelt has crossed the stream surrounding it, and DarkClan is finding that their camp is abundant in permanent nests. Heatherstone's eyes widen the next day as she spots a strange visitor. The creature is called a dodomingo. A fairly peaceful, fairly annoying creature. Heatherstone's urge to explore and find new things is growing. If something like this can exist, surely there's even stranger creatures out there? Meanwhile, back at DarkClan (and Brightclan too), uninteresting things are happening, such as Minnowear and Fleettail becoming friends as they explore the shore together, chasing a rabbit who dared to poke its nose out of the grass. (Note: Fleettail is not actually pregnant, the game just didnt remove the appearance of being pregnant after I manually removed the status via console. It was a misclick.) Next day, more uninteresting camp shenanigans happen. Mothpelt, who is still outside the camp, has found a stump and is deciding to call to see if there are any local loners that could be invited into BrightClan. Day after that, DarkClan is alerted to the border-setting patrol outside their camp. A few cats go to help them progress quicker, while the cats behind the camp begin to clear grass while making their way over to connect with the patrol. Meanwhile, the other patrol of Patchstar, Rainfur, Mallowbird and Brightclouds has finished setting the border on their side of the island. The patrol begins to seperate according to their clans, however, Rainfur and Brightclouds give each other a look that seems to imply that they wish to meet again. Nobody else seems to catch this, though, as their backs are turned. Back at BrightClan's camp, Beefang is confronted by a bearyena! Amberpelt rushes over to help her fight it off, and the two are just barely able to kill it with their claws before it can do any damage. Meanwhile, Copperstride and Dustnose seem to be taking interest in the waters. They can temporarily breathe underwater, but Waspstar warns them not to go too far in. At DarkClan, the border around the camp is finished. Finally, now that the border is set up, and cats know where they are and aren't allowed to step, personal clan lives can finally officially begin. At the west side of the island, Mallowbird, who had been conveniently sitting on a tree stump, decided to call out and see if anyone would appear. And in fact, someone does. The huge tom was so eager to hear he wasn't the only one on the island, that the speed and size of him combined simply dashing out of the grass spooked the entire patrol, as well as the player! The tom was shortsighted and had a crippled paw, but other than that, he looked like a perfect clan cat. Brightclouds decided to do the honours of inviting the tom, and he was officially accepted into... BrightClan! The tom recieved the name Lionspots for his huge body creating a fluffy "mane", and his spots, of course! The tom, named Lionspots, expresses kit-like excitement that he finally gets to be part of a clan. He is very friendly, and makes out as a very fitting stereotype for a BrightClan cat. While managing cats near DarkClan's camp, I the player don't realize what's happening beyond. A purr is heard, and would you look at that! A melanistic rogue male that resembles an uglier, crippled version of Rainfur mates with Patchstar herself. Rainfur is pissed off, and immediately chases down his ugly clone. Patchstar also runs after the rogue, and the two deal small damage but a long-lasting poison to the guy. Patchstar settles down in a nest, and waits for the cursed child to be born. Meanwhile, before continuing, Kepa recieves food from sonic, her absolute favourite fast food place, and edits the gem colours according to clans. Kepa is now bored of niche and will play later. Ciao fuckers!1 point

The state that I live in (Nevada) has a huge Spanish minority, so overhearing a conversation that’s in Spanish when going to some certain places isn’t very rare! And, Weird! French was the only language I ever learned in grade school. (Aside from counting to ten and names of some colours in Spanish in Kindergarten.)1 point

Running the gauntlet. Race mode without a timer, on a stupidly lethal course, and healing disabled. No timer, no score, just the drone's ability to survive the course represented as a percentage. Each course has a scoreboard unique to that course. Moving obstacles, tnt mines, enemy units, weapons fire, hot and cold. Do your damndest to kill us dead. Be cruel.1 point
