For the past few months my brain has decided it wants to think about a potential Niche 2 🧠 No promises or anything yet, since this is a big decision our studio needs to make with many factors going into it. But still, out of curiosity: If we ever made a new Niche what features / changes would you absolutely want to see in it :D? At this point everything is on the table: Modding, Multiplayer, turn it into a Real Time Strategy Game, go wild!

actually, three more new sona ref yay :DD i gave anemone a redesign, so now they are an actual existing animal! technically not a bug but PLEASE google velvet worm they look very cute :)) and copper. yeah. just copper. i didn't even change anything in his design i literally just redrew his ref because i didn't like the old one

i put way too much effort into this

Jan 21st: Nicobar pigeon. It's rainbow, need I say more

Wanted to practice shading and details. Look it’s Clay

Sorry for forgetting to bird yesterday. I'm consempating for that today. Jan 20th: Long-wattled Umbrellabird. Only males have the giant wattle on their chins. Females look more like this: Today's bird will be posted in a moment

furiously throws all of this art at you lizardcatto :)) redraw of a redraw??? woah thats wild (old version is probably somewhere on this thread. i cant be bothered to find it though) oc refs! but actually all new characters this time??? man (not really, 7s has been rotating in my head for a while now i just never got around to posting her on the forums. passage and orchid are new though) Random Stuff (tm) other iterator in the lesbiab meme one is currently unnamed but she's stormy's gf :))

also heres the secrent santa charactger owned by liz :3

hello guys i love to draw. i figured out how to draw. i love krita character owned by @pepper_ EEPER

hi, you're on a rock, floating in space. pretty cool huh?

mods are an obvious answer, but i wanted to brainstorm a bit more. i highly doubt they're original ideas but i think they're cool so i'm posting them anyways. also, me being me, i couldn't not include some concept art. first of all, an underwater and mushroom/underground biome. i just think they're cool ok? if not all of the nichelings' actions were used up (or it could just be a random event) there could be a chance of waking up during the night. there would also be new genes to help with surviving (since it would be more dangerous). introducing: cat eyes! some other genes (such as bat or bearyena head) would also give +1 night vision i'd also love to bring back my lizarpion suggestion from a while back, just because i think it's still kind of cool new concept art: and i 100% agree with tako that more animations would be fantastic i also understand that a sequel might not even ever exist but it's fun to just brainstorm around :))

I misread Seven Storms as Steven Storms

New!: (I misspelled freckle and ended up deciding not to fix It because I am tired) Old:

Oh oh thought about something else Console commands being more "stable" Blind nichelings being able to move by switching to smelling or hearing mode Deafness and noseblindness Scars! More diseases Heterochromia

These look really good!

sleep originated in malaysia???? woah

you sure pal?

YUP IT WAS ME I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT!!!!! :DDD!!

(Potential Murder Drones spoilers) Random Crow Uzi thing I drew

I drew J in animal jam ‘Sorry not sorry, J haters. Also, WHY DOES IT LOOK SO BAD *Cries* I think I made the eyes too far apart

and EEEEEK I LOVE MINE SO MUUCHHH AND HOW YOU DREW HIM ATTACKING THE PLANT THATS SO AWESOME BRO THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING THAT!!! i’m not entirely sure who it could be but i’m gonna guess @Stranger ???

Hello people I don't know! I've seen Stray Fawn Studio numerous times on the internet and never thought to make an account on it. After 3 years, I came across it again, and decided to join because why the heck not? Anyways hi, my name is Star (Starphobia on most other websites), and I like to make art ✨ I also like meeting new people (NOT IRL NO NO) because I'm lonely and need more people to talk to and share my art with lmaoo I can be hesitant to talk being shy but once you get to know me, promise, I'm nice. I can be crazy, almost insane, but I'm nice. I swear I wasn't dropped as an infant. My Fandoms/interests include (DON'T JUDGE ME IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME IDC 😭) Demon Slayer (Kimetsu No Yaiba) Warrior Cats Wings of FIre (Kind of???) Ninjago (Rewatching the whole show because hooray) Art/Animation Reading fanfics in a dark room (SFW fanfics I swear I'm not that weird 😭) Writing original stories/books Writing fanfics (I do this rarely but oh well) DEVELOPING MY ORIGINAL STORY FELICATE Anyways bye

Thank you so much! I've been doing a ton of cat studies lately to get a sense of their ✨shapes✨ Thank youuuuuu Hey, wait, give that back! Jk, you can have it

"too many ocs????????" haha what

shapeshifter she/they sona with neck accessory squad rise up!

another thing i think would be neat but you might have already thought of is sneaking in some references to your other games! for example, a select port could have a vaguely onbu shaped rock :))

I'd like to see the mobile only genes (fur and eye colors too) included in niche 2! Modding too ofc Maybe defender bears can return Expanded savanna biomes More wetland types Moor biome More hybrids (ramfoxes?) More biome-unique animals Possibility for a nicheling to be smaller or bigger than average (this could be only cosmetic) Storms (inspired by the first trailer) Oh speaking of weather what about a desert biome it could have sandstorms Perhaps an ability to pick from cacti without getting hurt (with armor still providing defense) That's all I can think about for now

whoa..................................... I am very excited for this brainstorming session, even if it never even exists, it may be fun to see what we come up with!!! Personally I think 1. modded genes would be interesting, the ability to add genetics to the game in order to make it how players want to. 2. multiplayer seems complex, but maybe could be cool? 3. this is a big one I was thinking about. The gradual evolution of genes. The ability to get bigger and smaller over time, to actually go through processes. I would love to be able to see my nichelings interact like actual creatures, have children that aren't just either or but mix genes. I'll have more eventually
