Episode 4: Sweet Home in the South From behind Juujk, a bright orange wanderer appears. Her name was Hiway (“Highway” lol) and she was a derp snout with one bat wing. Juujk and Hiway had only one baby girl, Sluqesh, before Hiway’s death due to old age. This makes Sluquesh the half-sister of Yepujku and Unskphud. Picture #018 #019 The four children, Uckwyu, Yepujku, Unskphud, and Sluqesh were all born in the current familial nest (slightly to the south). As such, Uckwyu and Sluqesh spent a lot of time together and proposed to start a family when they became adults. Despite Sluqesh’s suspected infertility gene from her mother, Uckwyu’s perfect fertility will balance this out. Also, they are 1st cousins, unlike the other two duck-billed brothers who are her half-brothers. Oquligi, along with the two duck-billed brothers, will be the guardians of the realm when their parents are gone. In the meantime, Faynni becomes old enough to start her own family... To be continued.

The bearyena succeeds. Uckjudhe is dead. But everyone is safe. They flee into the tall dry grass slightly to the east. Maple has another son. But the bearyena is hot on their trail. They need to run. So they go northeast and then west, leaving the two babies behind. The second son is killed by the bearyena. A rogue appears. So much is going on at once. Maple finds another nest to have her fourth child, since her hubby is getting old. Their first son comes with them to escape from the bearyena. The third son is dead and Unskuhskli dies from old age. They wonder if their time will come soon. But not all hope is lost. Maple has a beautiful baby girl as her fourth child. Surely she’ll carry the hope of the tribe. However, they’re not out of the woods just yet. Maple smells another bearyena to the west. They must head north. Perhaps they can get out of this situation to live another day if they simply believe. To be continued.

Madam, could I have some moar?

We never said that Birb had to finish the sequel... so, here it is. Please continue the sequel ... forever (especially when you feel like it )

Lol, Clawd. Love it.

All the Nichelings you leave behind on the previous islands are happily living their lives and continuing your family.

Episode 3.5 (Family tree review): Now the family tree looks something like this (it's a bit messy, kind of like a collage) You might have noticed that they have a second name. That is their surname based on their paternal lineage. So all of Eplway and Oqudhe's children have the surname Oqudhe, Guuck and Nniepl's son, Ukyeduhsk, should have the surname Guuck, and Ukte and Eplfaylun's children will have the surname Ukte. The platypus bills were a real surprise. Not to mention that I got them twice in a row! I suspect Eplway had that a recessive copy of that gene. As a consequence, Ukyeduhsk has fangs because he inherited the duck bill from his mum, but poison fangs from his big-nosed dad.

New Episode 3: Baby Bonanza! Soon after Uckju’s death (the 1st-born son) by a bearyena, Faye gives birth to his son, Uckwyu (name was randomly generated, I swear). Uckwyu is the first of the tribe to have very high fertility. He also has good eye sight, and lovely ram horns (and a derp snout), as typically found in this tribe. #015 Eplfaylun and Ukte had a 2nd child, Oquligi, a beige derp-snouted boy with 1 no paw. Unfortunately, their 3rd child died after birth, suggesting that Ukte, despite being a wanderer, has at least one immunity gene in common with Eplfaylun. Meanwhile, Fayaeplslu and Juujk had two adorable duck-billed boys, Yepujku and Unskphud. Both of them are dotted and adorable. One of the grandparents, Eplway or Oqudhe, had this recessive platypus bill gene. Having all these babies was truly a joyous time for the tribe. From behind Juujk, a figure appears... To be continued.

Maple and her new partner mate, and after about 3 days, she has her first child. A beautiful yellow boy named Ukkuipo, with the same face as her hubby, but a very warm body. He has his father’s nimble paw, and his mother’s runner’s paw. They then meet a beautiful short-snouted wanderer named Uckjudhe. Maple invites him into the tribe, and he takes care of their children while the blue bird of prey is above. Maple has another son, Gujku, who has the same face as her hubby and sharp spines. He is much darker than his brother overall. Suddenly, a bearyena bursts into the scene from the north. Everyone is startled and instinctually run away. He will surely kill them all, they think. Uckjudhe attacks the bearyena, and flees, hoping to attract his attention. ... To be continued.

Can we have some more?

I'm so glad they became separate genes.

? Arrives on an island all by her lonesome. She is a lovely orange colour, and has beautiful yellow eyes. Let’s call her Maple. How did Maple get there? Even she doesn’t know. Is it amnesia? She doesn’t have much time to consider the possibilities, as it is getting dark, and she doesn’t have much food or nesting material. She wanders through the tall grass, to the oak tree. Unfortunately, she cannot pick up acorns, and her no paw limits what she can get with just a runner’s leg. Luckily, she finds a berry bush to gather from before she runs low on food. Miraculously, she smells another creature in the thicket, behind her new berry bush. Is it a rogue? A bearyena? She inches towards the creature to find that it is a male of her species. A male named Unskuhskli. He’s an interesting creature with one bird-like wing, and one nimble finger. His spikes and dots, as well as his very big nose are very attractive. Maple becomes pregnant, and they wait for their baby to be born. But they could never have predicted what happened next. To be continued.

You've probably heard of the AHVHC by Sky (a.k.a. Skysplash). I am attempting this challenge and posting my progress in the playthroughs (https://strayfawnstudio.com/community/index.php?/topic/13921-a-honestly-very-hard-challenge-ahvhc-attempt/). Sky responded to this post and said that there's a new, unreleased 2.0 version of AHVHC! Naturally I had to give it a go. Here is Sky's comment: The main differences are in the starting female's genetics and the life spans (shorter). In this first run through, I wasn't able to stick to the rule where you cannot attack predators. Each day counts more so than before in this faster AHVHC, so I needed to make it count. If I do another playthrough, I'd try and see if not attacking predators would be doable. I'll try to update on the weekends. Hope you enjoy!

Eplfaylun and Ukte had their first child, Faynni. A red derp-snouted girl with pink ram horns! Uckwyu will be shown next week. Will try to update on the weekends.

The biggest issues were that the genotypes were bugged (snout and horns switched places on the gene bar), genes/illnesses randomly appeared, and each movement (moving, collecting, etc.) took 1 food 😱

Cool! When I do start that, I'll make a new thread. Thanks Sky for the interesting challenge! We need those in this game lol

Last ones.

The files are a bit big, so I'm spreading them out.

Thought this page would be the most suitable for this post. Felt nostalgic and booted up one of the oldest available version (0.1.5). Mind you, all these versions are quite glitchy still (obviously, they were removing bugs and glitches at this stage). I took some screenshots, if y'all would like a gander:

Please do share with us 👀

Thanks! I think I just got lucky with wanderers. Sometimes bearyenas just pop out of nowhere too. The hardest part for me is planning the births, so I've started writing the expected birth day for each pregnancy! (e.g., If the female becomes pregnant on day 58, then she will give birth around day 64.) Now I just need to remember to read my notes when moving the females around.

I just realized how inconvenient my previous format was. I shall make this reply longer. Summary: Eplway, a white-furred derp-snouted female, makes her way into the Grass Mingle island by her lonesome. There, she meets a couple males, but Oqudhe, a bright red male, is just the right age for her. Together, they have three children, although it is likely they have an immunity gene in common. After evading rogue males and hiding from Bearyenas, they slowly make their way north-east, where there should be more resources. Picture #007 Eplway gives birth to a healthy girl, Fayaeplslu! (Just Faye for short.) She is the fourth child and third daughter). Unlike the others, she has water body. Picture #008 Eplway and Oquahe (bottom left) continue growing the family. Uckju (1st born) and Eplfaylun (2nd born) try to get pregnant (right side). Nniepl (top) has poor vision and stumbles into the tall grass, exploring through it. Picture #009: As expected, Epifaylun's baby dies after birth. This is the second recorded instance of inbred-immunity death in the tribe. Picture #010: Another bouncing baby boy has been born! His name is Juujk ("Jook"). Picture #011: Not just one, but *two* wanderers were invited into the tribe. Ukte (the melanistic one) and Guuck (the big nosed one) are happy ushered in. Nniepl will take Guuck as her hubby, while Ukte... will be someone's hubby. Picture #012: Nniepl had a fanged son with Guuck ("Gook"), named Ukyeduhsk ("You-kai-dusk"). Not soon after his birth, Guuck passed away from old age, and a Bearyena came out of the tall grass. Nniepl and Uckju (the 1st born son of Eplway) attacked the Bearyena to stop him, but they were killed amidst the attack. Picture #013: Miraculously, Ukyeduhsk managed to escape by heading north into the tall grass, where he was hidden from danger. He grew up into a teenager while in the bush, eventually making his way west, where Eplfaylun and her family took him in. Meanwhile in the south, Faye and her baby brother Juujk collect berries in their familial nest. (The clawed derp snout was an infertile wanderer.) ~Next Post Teaser~ Eplfaylun, after her 3 sick babies didn't make it, met Ukte and they got along fabulously! (Did they make bebes? Find out next episode...) Next post, we'll see the new wanderer and unwelcome visitor that come into the lives of the growing (Eplway) Oquadhe family. To be continued.
