  1. Dear pack As you know the Sandbox Settings Update has recently been released on the main branch, yay Now you may be wondering what comes next for Niche, so we wanted to give you a little update! There won't be any big new updates for the PC game in the coming months. However we have 2 cool things to share with you ^^ 1) We are currently working on a prototype to bring a brand new game set in the Niche universe to mobile! These are very early mockup screenshots. The game focuses less on survival and more on breeding. Please note however that we will only finish and release this game if we think we can make something very cool out of it and its still too early to tell. Larissa is the game designer and artist for the Niche mobile game. Here you see her (left) playing the paperprototype with me 2) We're currently trying to port the game to Switch! For that we need a frozen version, which means we can't really update the game for now (except for bug fixes). Please note that here again nothing is 100% sure yet! It might be a bit early to share all this with you, since the outcome of both projects is still uncertain. However we wanted to tell you what we're currently working on

  2. ooooOOOH BOY THIS TOOK ME LIKE 3 1/2 HOURS D : but atleast its finished and the background is 👌👌👌 this is cosmos, my god of like,, the stars? basically they make the constellations n' stuff and is how the normal nichelings on earth know what's going on in the pantheon/ about the pantheon. so if they wanted to, they could show one deity as a horrible person, when they're actually really nice. but cosmos is the most unbias nicheling you'll ever meet, and they seriously dont care whats going on and therefore they dont spin anything to make their friends seem better (which is why they got that specific job!) (they are also the only nonbinary nicheling in my pantheon owo)

  4. First time using IbisPaint, enjoyed it! This was quite a spontaneous drawing and I didn’t really have a plan for it. I reckon he’s seeing something in the crystal ball... Sorry for being stupid about the deadline, I should of read the original post more carefully. Thanks for clarifying!

  7. Hi. Didn't post here before since it looked like a Niche forum but I guess its not. I build tricky things in Nimbatus. I'm very opinionated. But I don't mean any harm by it. I just enjoy the vigorous exchange of ideas a little too much. I post here when work is slow - sometimes here a lot, sometimes busy for weeks or months. And ... that's about it I think?

  9. My entry! Relenmi, one of my Spirits of Flight. She's also known as the Spirit of Adventure, since she spent basically all of her life exploring the jungle her tribe lived in (she was sickly, so she stayed away from her tribe to avoid getting them sick as well). (What do you think is capturing her attention in this drawing?)

  10. I remember the day I was born. I awoke to the crashing sound of thunder, flailing about until my legs were numb. My two legs, may I add. Being born without front legs made some things more difficult, but I could still hop around. My mother always called me “Her Little Bunny-Rabbit”, which I hated. Yet, I couldn’t help but feel comforted every time she called me that. I pressed against my mother, a gorgeous sleek furred nicheling. Her black fur reminded of the midnight sky or the occasional black bunny that would skip by. She had a nimble paw, which she used for picking berries. She was missing her left front leg, just like me. I always assumed my father was missing both legs or his right one. I was never able to meet my father though, but my mother assured me he was a great nicheling. She told me stories of his bravery and humbleness, which made me want to grow up so I could be just like him. I remember the first few friends I made. A nicheling with deep ebony fur, like my mom. He had a slick orange mane and fluffy amber cheeks. I always called him Cinnabar, but I think his real name was Nutaduk. It’s been a while since I’ve seen him. I miss him. Besides that, I had other friends too. I hung out with the adults a lot since I didn’t fit in well with the other children. I met a female nicheling who didn’t fit in well, just like me. Her name was Rera but I knew her better as Rey. We were inseparable. She was a cracker jaw, with soft peachy fur. Her leafy green gaze melted my heart every time we locked eyes. I knew she didn’t share the feelings I had for her, but it was great having a best friend. But once she met Kutaa, everything changed. She never hung out with me anymore, and all I had left was Cinnabar. Cinnabar became my closest friend. Years passed, Rey and Kutaa had two gorgeous daughters. Cinnabar moved on and found a mate, specifically my sister. My sister looked so much more like my mom. I became the outcast once more, but I didn’t mind. I spent most of my time sitting on a tree stump, guiding the way for my tribemates as they moved on from the island they called home. I met another female, but I was too afraid of heartbreak to tell her I loved her. Her name was Isra, and she was the most amazing nicheling I had ever met. Her dark grey fur shone in the moonlight, and her deep green eyes brought back sweet memories from when I was young. Once we had our first son, I swore to myself I would protect him with my life. We named him Kirkir. I loved him more than anything in the world. Of course, he was with his mother most of the time. I had to guide the way for my fellow tribemates, so I didn’t get to see him very often. The last time I saw him came with the deep growl of a carnivore. I heard it coming from a mile away. Kirkir was quietly curled up in his nest, wherever Isra was I couldn’t tell you. The carnivore loomed over my son, its shadow blocking out all the sunlight he was bathing in. Once he noticed the sudden chill down his spine, he shot up. I started racing towards him as quickly as I could, stumbling over myself. The carnivore roared, stepping towards him and snapping at him. He floundered backwards, his eyes wide and filled with horror and… heartbreak? I could recognize that gaze anywhere, his eyes were clouded and glazed with tears. Why would he feel heartbroken at this moment? I kept my gaze locked on him as he backed away, soon being cornered by a rushing river behind him. The carnivore was basically on top of him at this point. It opened its mouth, about to swallow Kirkir whole. I sprinted forward, using all my strength to shove the carnivore away from my son. The impact made Kirkir flinch, and he stumbled backwards. Time seemed to slow down, torturing me by making me watch my son drown in slow motion. He fell back into the river, the current too strong for him to fight. I stared at him as he sunk away into the abyss. At least his death wasn’t as painful to him as it was to me. The next few years were lonely ones. Too overwhelmed with heartbreak and dread, Isra ran away from the tribe. Scars now donned my face and back from dreadful carnivore fights. At this point, I knew if I went to Heaven it would be out of pity for me. I stayed in my normal spot, sleeping on the stump I seemed to be fastened to. I watched my tribe grow more and more, letting the days pass slowly. My mother passed sooner or later, Cinnabar died saving my sister from a carnivore, Rey had three more children. I felt like my time was coming to an end. Then I heard it. The growl. I forced myself through the brush, my eyes watering from the grass whipping my face. Finally emerging into a clearing, I saw it. The carnivore locked eyes with me, and paused. A newborn nichekit wailed below it, its cries of pain making me wince. Everything stopped for a moment. The nichekit’s sobs were silenced, the carnivore’s growls muted, and all I could hear was a soft whisper in my ear. Save it, the voice murmured. So that’s exactly what I did. The carnivore roared and bounded toward me, drool leaking from its gaping jaws. I scurried to the side and sprung toward it, kicking it roughly in the gut. It grunted and slid across the ground, dust flying in my eyes. I glanced at the nichekit. It’s eyes were watering up, and I scowled at it to run. Jumping up, it scampered into the tall grass. I whipped my head toward the carnivore, but it was too late. It tackled me, and its teeth sunk into my throat. A choked shriek escaped my mouth before blood began to pour from it. Then someone called my name. I could breathe again. The carnivore was laid limp on the dirt, blood seeping from its throat. I saw a dusty brown nicheling standing above me. He had a pale amber mane like me, and no paws, and- “Dad?” I whispered, my eyes welling up. Stumbling onto my feet, I stared into the deep black eyes of my father. “W-Where have you been all these years?...” He gazed at me, his eyes beginning to glaze over. “Oh, Kunu… Kunu…” His gaze shifted to the ground, shaking his head. “I’m so sorry…” He looked up at me, guilt in his eyes. “I’m so sorry for leaving you… I was such a terrible father…” I shook my head. “No, you’re not. Just.. why? Why did you leave?..” I wailed gently, quivering. He paused for a moment, breathing in. “I was scared, Kunu. I was scared of being a father, I didn’t feel ready. And now I regret it. I’m so sorry, Kunu,” He admitted, tears dripping from his glossy dark eyes. I looked at him for a moment before resting my head on his shoulder. “I forgive you, dad…” He leaned on me as well, sniffling quietly. “Mom told me stories about you… About how you saved so many nichekits from that carnivore attack, and when you broke your leg saving a nichekit from the bluebird.. I’ve always wanted to be like you…” I mumbled. “Kunu, you’re everything but me. You’re so much better.” Father moved in to the tribe. They happily accepted him back as a member. Then I moved back to my stump. And there I sat on my stump, every morning, every night, guiding my tribemates to the port. The day finally came, when everyone had finally made it to the port. The elders stayed behind, knowing they would pass soon anyway. The tribe leader approached me one morning, asking if I would join them on their journey. I politely declined, knowing my old age would soon get to me. But he began to beg me, telling me they needed a guide for their journey. After reluctantly agreeing, he led me to the port where everyone awaited me. My father walked toward me, and we said our teary-eyed goodbyes. Afterwards, it was time to leave. The elders waved us farewell and then we were on our way. I led my tribe to the peaceful meadows and valleys of Dubius. Dubius is one of the most calming islands of our archipelago. Watching my tribe grow bigger and stronger filled me with the most joy I’ve felt in years. Nichekits wanted to know my story, as did many grown nichelings. I took a young nichekit under my wing, teaching her about guidance and travel. I taught her how to fight, but also how to resolve confrontation with pacification. Her name was Reis. Her eyes sparkled like the morning dew, and her fur laid slick like a bluebird’s feather. She reminded me of my mother, in a strange way. As the sun rose and set, day after day, I knew my time would come sooner or later. My tribe guided me to the port and laid me down in the rose-ridden grass. I closed my eyes, and heard my tribe leader whisper his blessings to me. And once I awoke, what I saw astonished me. I saw my mother, and my father, and Isra, and Cinnabar, and- “Kirkir!” I yowled, bounding toward him. He turned his head and beamed, racing and ramming into me. “D-Dad!” He squealed, gazing up at me with tears in his eyes. Isra ran to me, nuzzling me gently. Mother and father padded toward me and smiled. Cinnabar wandered over and chuckled. I finally made it. I was home at last. The pictures at the bottom are the older ones.

  20. Description of the issue: After seeing posts about debris spawning inside the terrain and have seen enemy turrets/drones shoot through the terrain I decided to do a little test. The test was simple; Use a factory to spawn a drone inside of the planet. I did not expect it to work so well and so easily. When you spawn the drone you can fly anywhere inside the planet and shoot out of it. All you gotta watch out for is to go outside of the terrain as you then return to being a mortal. Version of the game: 0.7.1 TerrainV3.mp4

  21. I love both of these ideas so much! Back in the very early days of 'smart' phones, there was a game I loved that was just about breeding different animals to get cute other animals. I don't remember what it was called or any details, but I know that I haven't been able to find anything even remotely similar. Niche would definitely fill that niche (:P) for me As for a switch version, I would love that so so much. When I go and visit my family, the laptop I take can't run Niche, so being able to take it with me on the Switch would be amazing. And then I could also take it to play on the train to work and ahhhh it would just be incredible (Oh and that concept art is sooooooooooooooooo cute too!)

  23. The land was filled with creatures of terror, bearyenas(Killer and normal) and bluebirds. This era was called Terror, this went on and on till two tribes, Calling and Tooth, were made. Calling lived on the moving Whale Island and Tooth lived on the still Deadly Hills. At the start Calling starved till they saw the sign of a black bird, they started collecting and destroying bushes, getting food, they became a large tribe and had many kinds of genes, including wing. They downed the blue bird population. Tooth on the other hand, starved from time to time but lived. Tooth was a powerful tribe with hybrid genes but still took in weaker nichelings to protect them from the land terrors, soon they downed the bearyena population. Many gods came from these two tribes like Menlalata and Kuno

  24. Longer and sharper claws usually attract mates, which is why most of my warriors will always find a mate Nichelings who die due to starvation get an infinite supply of food in the afterlife Female bearyenas may sometimes take up nichelings for mates when they have lots of bearyena genes, which makes the females mistake them for normal bearyena males. Bluebirds act as messengers for the gods, taking sacrifices that are left unattended and then bringing them to the gods. The more fluffier you are, the more mates you attract Leaders of tribes are allowed to have multiple mates, if they so please. Nichelings with bird genes are usually seen as gifts sent by the gods, and will usually become messengers.

  27. The howl snout would be based off of wolves. It would have the same smell stats as the purr snout, but instead of healing it would add 1 strong voice, 1 call to the wild (I think that's what its called) and 1 strength. The nicheling would be able to call without being on a tree stump or up a tree, which could be useful if there aren't any stumps around and your nicheling can't fly. It would be unlocked by killing 20 ramfoxes

  39. Perhaps significantly increase those limits so we don't feel that an upgrade is wasted? Also there is a cap of 10 of a single part, so it feels wasted to get a capped part as a mission reward (Two thrusters/batteries when you already have 10 of that particular part)

  40. I think you'll find the difficulty here is not with the thruster or logic restrictions, but the sensor restriction. A pair of sensors have numerous capabilities that simply can't be replicated by a single sensor; without these abilities complex behaviors are very difficult to coordinate. This is essentially why one sees so few active one-eyed species in nature. With two directional sensors it becomes possible to detect distance and to establish closed or open-ended zones around the drone, generating a much larger possible variety of signals that can then be processed by a logic core. Three or more sensors can open up some additional possibilities, but most complex behaviors can be achieved by two sensors. This time, note the scarcity of three-eyed species. The increased performance of a second sensor will almost always outweigh its mass and part cost. You will also benefit from making use of the tolerances on your sensors. While the 'Right' and 'Left' outputs can only be adjusted clumsily in non-90 degree increments (Devs, if you're reading this, round directional sensors, or the ability to turn the sensing portion within its block, please?), the tolerance can be easily fine-tuned, or even turned into a third output by using a pair of 'Not' gates on the sensor outputs and an 'And' gate to combine them. Hopefully those points are of some assistance, though my ultimate conclusion is to agree with Garheardt. Under the proposed restrictions it's likely not currently possible to build a drone that simple that doesn't move erratically. Add a second sensor and make use of those tolerances though, and you shouldn't have too much difficulty.
