The game is out officially now, so you don't need to become a tester to play You can only get it on phones (possibly tablets?) though.

rip my brain yesterday

Updated family tree with everything but pictures which will probably come tomorrow

Leader Acornstar - orange and black she-cat with smooth skin and violet eyes (Daughter of Sunnyroot and Birdwatcher) Deputy Mumblejaw - large moss-colored tom Medicine Cat Streamglimmer - brown and white deaf she-cat with smooth skin and violet eyes (Daughter of Sunnyroot and Birdwatcher) Warriors Sunnyroot - yellow she-cat with smooth skin (Daughter of Duskstar and Cherrydust) Kits Crystalkit - large red-brown she-cat with brilliant blue eyes (Daughter of Acornstar and Mumblejaw) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Acornstar and Mumblejaw announce they are having another kit, due to their increasing age. (Both are reaching the ends of their days, as well as Sunnyroot. Streamglimmer is the only young adult, having been an apprentice only a few moons ago.) The she-cat gives birth to another she-kit, Squirmkit. This nicheling is misguided. Their life wish is to defend their tribe. Crystalkit becomes an apprentice, assigned to Mumblejaw. Sunnyroot dies of old age. Streamglimmer is right by her side when the time comes. The young she-cat had left her odd hobby of collecting seaweed to join her mother, which was a huge compliment. Squirmkit becomes an apprentice, assigned to Acornstar. Aptly named, she squirms around when her mother/mentor tries to teach her hunting. She always wants to learn battle moves and is quick to run off to find trouble with her sister, who prefers hunting over battling, but is always successful with her lies. Though Crystalpaw gets into more trouble than Squirmpaw, the younger sister always ends up with the blame. Streamglimmer, while out seaweed-gathering, decides to swim across the stream and explore. In her absence, Acornstar becomes pregnant yet again. Acornstar gives birth to a handsome tom-kit, Chirpkit. She considers him her most beautiful child, and decides he will be her last. This choice is without contest from her mate, as Mumblejaw is on his last legs now. This nicheling is paternal. They freak out at the smallest of things. Their life wish is to fall in love. Crystalpaw is made a warrior and given the name of Crystalgaze, due to her beautiful eyes. With not a moment to lose, she dashes into the Unknown, determined to find a mate. Acornstar gives all the attention to her newest kit, due to his handsomeness. Though Crystalgaze knows she will never be beautiful enough to get that attention too, she hopes she can find a mate and have a beautiful kit too to prove her worth. Her chance will be gone before long, though, due to Acornstar's age. Mumblejaw dies of old age. Acornstar is overwhelmed by grief. She no longer has a deputy, not to mention a mate. Due to Crystalgaze's absence, there is no viable warrior for deputyship. The grief-stricken she-cat is forced to wait another moon in the hope that Crystalgaze will come back; otherwise, her little sister will become deputy as soon as she becomes a warrior. Squirmpaw becomes Squirmscratch, after her eagerness to fight. She is given the new apprentice Chirppaw. Crystalgaze, who had stayed close unknown to her Clan, screams just beyond the high grass. The Clan (save for Streamglimmer, who is still beyond the stream) runs to help her. Together they defeat the bearyena who attacked her. Crystalgaze is left injured and bleeding, in need of DuskClan's absent medicine cat. Chirppaw is sent to find Streamglimmer. Luckily, she had already been on her way back, and is quickly found. By the time the two make it back, Crystalgaze has not only bled out quite a bit, leaving her very weak, but their leader, Acornstar, has died of old age. Squirmscratch is made leader sooner than the Clan had thought—Acornstar did well at hiding her age. Her first act of leadership is, of course, to name her deputy—the only choice being the healing Crystalgaze. Her second act is making Chirppaw a warrior. He is given the name Chirplark, since...well, larks chirp, do they not? Squirmstar is not the best at naming. * * * * * * * * The Clan moves north, on Streamglimmer's instinct. The Clan stops to rest for a moon at a cluster of nests. Streamglimmer wanders off to find supplies to heal Crystalgaze. When Streamglimmer returns, the Clan is shocked to see her not only in tears, but pregnant! She runs to Squirmstar for comfort, but finds none; Squirmstar is no fan of overemotional-ness, nor of medicine cats being pregnant. Crystalgaze is too weak to do much other than sleep at the time, and Chirplark had explored ahead. Poor Streamglimmer is left alone, pregnant, and confused. Crystalgaze recovers, but is left permanently weak. She is unable to hunt or battle. Chirplarks discovers a young male, Shell. He is accepted into the Clan as Shellpaw, apprentice of Chirplark. This nicheling is soft. Their life wish is to gather berries. Streamglimmer gives birth, but the kit is born severely deformed and dies not long after. The she-cat, though she never meant to have a kit, names him Acornkit, in honor of her sister. She seriously considers killing herself, as this whole experience of pregnancy, shunning by her leader, childbirth and the loss of a kit in such a small space of time makes her very depressed. (Even more, she had always wanted children, but had pushed away the wish when she became a medicine cat. She had almost inadvertently fulfilled her wish, yet it was taken away...) Thankfully, she soon sees a familiar sight. Her mother, Acornstar, visits her in StarClan-form and assures her she will be alright. She will soon receive an apprentice, and she must stay strong so she can train them. Shellpaw finds two healing plants, side by side. As Streamglimmer walks beside him to marvel at the sight, he realizes he'd much rather be a medicine cat than a warrior. Chirplark is surprised by his decision, but gladly hands over his mentorship when he sees how sad Streamglimmer seems.

2201 the number has been messed up before, let's just go with this

I meant to have Streamglimmer see what happened but forgot. Main reason was that I panicked because I'd done nothing about getting him to fulfill his wish But the explanation I have is that he saw how great being a leader was, regretted his decision as a young cat to give up his title, and in sudden envy he killed his brother.

I feel bad for Mudkit he's so cute and his mom is so pretty. it's not his fault that his dad is a rogue

Leader Butterflystar - large dark red and beige tom with long fangs (Son of Duskstar and Cherrydust) Deputy Appledash - large red and beige tom with long fangs (Son of Duskstar and Cherrydust) Warriors Sunnyroot - yellow she-cat with smooth skin (Daughter of Duskstar and Cherrydust) Mumblejaw - large moss-colored tom Acornpelt - orange and black she-cat with smooth skin and violet eyes (Daughter of Sunnyroot and Birdwatcher) Kits Streamkit - brown and white deaf she-cat with smooth skin and violet eyes (Daughter of Sunnyroot and Birdwatcher) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Butterflystar and his deputy go in search of new members. Sunnyroot and the other warriors stay behind to watch over Streamkit. Oddly, she does not seem to respond to their words. Sunnyroot notices Acornpelt grooming Mumblejaw, and becomes slightly suspicious. A few days later, Appledash walks into camp. "Butterflystar is no more," he states gruffly. "WHAT?!" Sunnyroot exclaims. Streamkit, now of apprenticeship age, glances at each cat bewilderingly. The Clan, since her birth, has discovered that she is deaf. It's hard to communicate with her, but they manage. "He...is no more." He glances down to his paws. The other warriors glance at his paws too to find that they are stained with blood. Acornpelt gasps. "YOU KILLED HIM!" Her normally mellow nature seems to shatter for a moment as rage breaks through. Appledash is silent. He refuses to exonerate himself, nor confess to guilt. The Clan decides to keep him prisoner and assume his guilt, unless proven otherwise. The Clan, now deficit of all leadership, decides to spend a moon or two in grieving for Butterflystar, as well as the loss of a friend in Appledash. Poor Streamkit is not yet an apprentice, despite being of age. * * * * * Streamkit finds herself in a place much like her home, yet far from it. It is plentiful with food as well as stars in the sky. Before her are two figures: Butterflystar, and an orange tom similar in appearance. "Hello." Streamkit is startled; she has never heard sound before. Yet, at the same time, it feels natural, and she knows what Butterflystar means, and even how to speak herself. "I'm Butterflystar, as you know. And this is my father, the founder of our Clan, Duskstar." He nodded to the orange tom, who smiled kindly. "Where am I?" Her words felt odd, yet she knew their meaning. "StarClan. This is where cats go when they die." "StarClan?" Her eyes widened. "Is my father here?" "In StarClan, yes, but here, no. We have a message for you." He nodded to Duskstar to continue. "Your—Our—Clan has no leader; no deputy; and, as it has always been, no medicine cat. But these times have come to an end. You, Streamkit—Streampaw— will be the first medicine cat of DuskClan. I will train you in your dreams." Streamkit—or Streampaw, as she was now—felt terrified. It was like she had a rabbil in her stomach, kicking around. But she held her feet firm, and accepted her tasks. "Our Clan needs a leader and a deputy, too. Acornpelt will be leader. Tell your Clan in the morning. They will accept her leadership. Mumblejaw is the obvious choice for deputy, so I trust Acornpelt will choose him without needing our guidance." Duskstar smiled. "I will see you soon, Streampaw." Butterflystar smiled too, and the figures and StarClan fade away to morning. * * * * * Streampaw, with the help of StarClan, is able to make known the new roles. Acornpelt is given her title of Acornstar that night in her dreams. Mumblejaw is announced deputy. The two share...odd looks, but nobody seems to notice. Mumblejaw and Sunnyroot watch over the prisoner, Appledash. Moons pass. Appledash, still with no verdict for himself, dies of old age. Streampaw becomes a full medicine cat, with the name of Streamglimmer. (The new name is told to Acornstar in a dream, since Streamglimmer cannot speak it herself.) A skeleton is found, but it reeks of disease, and the Clan presumes the nicheling had died of sickness. Acornstar and Mumblejaw announce that they will be having a kit. Sunnyroot is not surprised, as she had seen the looks and gestures they had been giving eachother. She herself is growing old, and is glad she will have the chance to see her grandchild(ren). Streamglimmer stays close to Acornstar's nest, in case of needed assistance. Acornstar gives birth to a beautiful baby girl, Crystalkit. This nicheling is sly. Their life wish is to become a hunter.

Caverndawn is mentioned twice as still being called Cavernpaw. Cedarpelt is also not listed in these allegiances nor the next love your story so far!! I'm glad Owlstar finally found a mate!

also updated the family tree with pictures, personalities, and birth/death dates & places

a few notes: -in my Niche canon, Nichelings are a species that can put their pregnancy "on hold", essentially pausing it until they are ready to continue it. (I believe polar bears can do this, amongst other species.) This is still taxing on their body like a normal pregnancy, but they are able to give birth at will. (Sometimes the pregnancy can unwillingly pause itself, causing an unexpected birth, possibly in an odd place.) This of course includes the "cats" of DuskClan. -When the Clan is ready to move to a new island, StarClan guides their way. I imagine Duskstar guided his family to the Way-Stones, sad to see them leave their home, but happy to see his Clan making choices for the good of their Clan. -Any wandering nicheling found will be added to the family tree as an adopted child of the current leader (no matter the age), as leaders typically consider the Clan as their family (whether biological or not). Plus I just want to have everybody on the tree, lol. (There may be exceptions to this - for example, if a wanderer joins and becomes mates with another former-wanderer, I may just put them as a mate instead of adopted kid because then the tree will glitch out unnecessarily because "INCEST!!!" -Please feel free to give name suggestions! Some examples include: a prefix/set of prefixes or a suffix/set of suffixes for any cat in the Clan (or any cat that the word could apply to in a meaningful way); a prefix/set of prefixes or a suffix/set of suffixes for the kits of a particular mating pair; or a suffix/set of suffixes for a particular cat who has been born (and thus has a prefix) but has not yet received their warrior name. -You can also make suggestions for personality ideas for a cat, or ideas/thoughts on what could happen next, or perhaps a pair of cats you think could become a couple, or a cat that should be appointed deputy. All ideas are welcome!!!

Leader Butterflystar - large dark red and beige tom with long fangs Deputy Appledash - large red and beige tom with long fangs Warriors Birdwatcher - large red and mossy-brown tom Sunnyroot - yellow she-cat with smooth skin Kits Acornkit - orange-and-black she-cat with smooth skin and violet eyes ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Sunnyroot becomes pregnant again. Sadly, Birdwatcher passes in the night, and will never get to see his second kit. The next day, Butterflystar returns from his mission with no luck, but in time to make Acornkit an apprentice. She is assigned to Appledash. Butterflystar also comes with a new idea: "Clan, I believe it is time we move on from this island, to new lands. Our Clan is too small to survive for much longer. We need to find a new home with more resources." "But this is our home!" Sunnyroot exclaimed. This is where she grew up...where she gave birth to Acornpaw...where her mate died. "We have plenty of time! Why can't we go another day?" She glanced down to her bulging stomach. It was glaringly apparent on on skinny frame. "I'm pregnant. I may be able to delay the birth, but it is still taxing on my body." Acornpaw nodded in agreement. "That's why we have to move quickly," Butterflystar replied. "If your kit is born here, it will be moons before we can move." "I agree with Butterflystar." Appledash stepped forward. "It's time we move on. Duskstar told us we had to make sure DuskClan never broke apart. We need a medicine cat, too." "Alright...." Sunnyroot sighed. "Let's get moving." The small Clan is a moon into their journey when they come upon a young warrior. "Hello." "Hello, young warrior. Might I ask your name?" "Mumblejaw." "And where are you from?" Mumblejaw nodded his head back towards the rest of the island. "Here." Butterflystar was exasperated by the tom's lack of useful words, but accepted it. "Are you part of a Clan, Mumblejaw?" "Not anymore." "....Why?" Mumblejaw shrugged. "Clan broke up." Butterflystar sighed. He wasn't going to get much out of him. "Well, would you like to join us?" "Sure." This nicheling is restrained. Their life wish is to explore the Unknown. Still on their journey to the Way-Stones, Acornpaw finishes her training. Butterflystar names her Acornpelt, as her pelt is, of course, like an acorn. The Clan soon finds their way to the Way-Stones and travels to their new home. Mumblejaw quickly finds an old nest for Sunnyroot. The she-cat is glad to finally rest and meet her second kit. With her family gathered around her, Sunnyroot gives birth to a beautiful she-kit she aptly names Streamkit, as the nest is directly beside a bubbling stream. This nicheling is enigmatic. They are deaf. Their life wish is to have lots of children.

(Welcome to the forums!) There's no concrete plans yet. Right now the devs are working on a new game (as well as mobile Niche), and until recently they've been working on a number of ports (Switch, Xbox, Epic Store...). I think right now their plan is to get Wandering Village to full release, or at least early access, before they start working on Niche again, though they haven't decided whether they will make more updates yet. I hope so, though. You can always make a suggestion so that perhaps it'll have enough upvotes to be implemented if/when the time comes.
