FInished the basic Bearyena behaviour, did some improvement to the controls and... added canibalism 😮 This feature has been requested many times now and I always thought it was too creepy to add, but it also happens in nature so I thought I'd give it a try. Nichelings now spawn "Nicheling meat" when they die. I'm thinking about adding a mechanic that the meat does not spawn, or maybe just less meat spawns, when the creature was very young, very old or died of hunger. Normal Nichelings can not pick up Nicheling meat. But I added a new head gene the that gives you +1 canibalism and gives you the ability to collect it. Spooky. Now I'm wondering what this head gene should be called/look like? I read about canibalistic animals a bit. Seems like rabbits, hamsters, polar bears, some apes, many insects and fish are canibals.

Ooo, maybe like a Praying Mantis? I first thought I'd take a vulture or hyena because they are easily associated with scavenging, but they aren't too exemplary for canibalism I think...

uh weird blue rabbit. thing. I tried to make him have toxic body but maybe he’s just sick and that’s why his colors are desaturated

Me neither Dark experiments are happening!

I totally forgot about this lol I tried doing a more pixel-arty thing...it's not very good though

WHO ARE THESE CATS, WHAT IS HAPPENING

Tbh I have no clue

um

Bluetail is like- yes murder

AAAAAAAAAAAA

maybe do some sorta insect like head with fangs?

Sorry but I don’t see how that would fit into the story. I’m kinda tempted though, they would make cute babies. But I wanna steer clear of having kids for now, especially with Baba. You’ll see why later. (Also they have similar immunities, but if I really wanted to I’d do it anyways)

"O-oh.." she replied, calming down Then, your brother came out of the burrow, "Is it safe?"

(No, you loot the bodies because they’re already dead, she just doesn’t have sympathy for anyone outsider her family. And she doesn’t want you getting sick from the decaying bodies) It was a girl, she looked about your age when she died, she had black hair and seemed to have died from something falling on her middle and she either starved to death or died on impact. Probably the ladder. she had a pin near her hair that you thought was very beautiful, it was a bee on a flower lined with gold, you guessed it had been pinning her hair behind her ears but it had fallen off and landed next to the back of her head and her silky black hair had fallen into her face.

Bow to me!

That was just yesterday's spares. Any ideas what port this is? I think it's a grass mingle, probably not something to worry about.

Hi Pack! Since December 17th Niche is using a new folder for the save files on MacOSX. Unfortunately this caused problems with the Steam Cloud sync and it did not sync the files anymore. The Cloud Sync should now be fixed and work again. You might get a popup asking if you want to download the old saves or upload the new ones when you start the game. To recover old save files that were created before the 17th of December you have to copy them into the new save folder. Here is how you can do that: Open the Finder Click on Go in the top bar, hold the Option Button so you can see the Library Folder Then click on Library In Library/Application Support are two Niche folders: unity.Team Niche.Niche - a genetics survival game/Saves <- This folder is not used anymore and contains the save files before December 17th. com.strayfawnstudio.niche/Saves <- This is the new folder which contains the saves made after December 17th. Copy the old save file that you want to play from unity.Team Niche.Niche - a genetics survival game/Saves to com.strayfawnstudio.niche/Saves If there already is an new save for the same slot, it will be overwritten. So make sure to make a backup copy of a save before overwriting it, if you want to keep it. We are sorry for the problems that this change caused. Hopefully this guide helps you to recover your old saves. If you still have trouble write us an email to support@strayfawnstudio.com and we can help you. Cheers & Thanks Stray Fawn Studio

Lots of ideas related to eating mechanics ^^ (I usually write down what I want to program before actually programming it.) // Means it's a comment. These are ignored by the complier.

The random 8 is the amount of food on the foodpile (which is totally not recognizable yet) Haha, well it's all just super quick placeholder art that only I need to understand (for now). The text is squished because it's a 3d mesh text, which I would probably need to rotate a bit more toward the camera, but I don't care enough yet Progress from yesterday and today: - Huge code clean-up - Lots of bugs I can't fix, need to ask Micha for help (see that's how good I'm with programming xD) - Rabbil hunting Feb-04-2021 01-23-42.mp4

I have a WIP Niche-like breeding simulator on Scratch So far it just has 2 creatures with randomizable colorations (no patterns yet) with a WIP kid. I took a long break because I forgot abut it but now I'm having a break to figure out the species itself before I get too far in that I can't change things

Some more progress! - Speed and sight radius are now gene-based - Some bug fixing - Added a predator that just stands around and blocks the way - You can fight the predator - When dying Nichelings spawn bones, predators spawn flesh that can be collected

A bit of progress today: - Baby animals now inherit their parents' fur color - Baby animals now grow into children, then adults - Added a "stockpile" for food. Nichelings can gather food and place it there.

Not a lot of visible progress tonight, but the first genetic-based mating took place 😮 Also, the pond is no longer in need of help.

Is this a cry for help?

Bit of progress from yesterday's night promgramming session - Adam and Eve are back! - Worked some more on the breeding system - Added age levels (no more breeding with the babies, yay) - Added some more UI info Also they had SO MANY DAUGHTERS! I already thought it was a bug, until the little prince was born ❤️
