  1. Part Sixteen, Day Thirty-Six — Chèèpi

    “My Queen—did you hear? Plithhrin has passed.”

    “Oh—oh…! I never really knew Plithhrin well, he had wandered off to hunt before I was born and didn’t really say much but—” Mommy trailed off sadly. I looked at her to make sure I had her attention and stumbled out of the nest, hoping to cheer her up with a new feat. My foot got caught on one of the nest’s branches and I fell on the rotten leaves below me. 

    Luckily, Daddy was there, and though it was a little tough for him because my skin is so smooth, he managed to pick me up by the scruff and put me back in the nest beside Mommy. “Be careful, little one! You’ll get hurt,” said Daddy.

    Mommy looked at me sadly. I wasn’t sure if it was because Uncle Plithhrin died or because I was so ugly. (Mommy taught me about my face, and about how I should look like her and Daddy and not have sticky-outty teeth. She told me I wasn’t ugly, but I don’t believe her. I don’t think she did either.) I decided to boop her nose to tell her I love her. She still looked sad, but she didn’t move. That meant she loved me too.

    “Eat this. It’s good! And it won’t hurt you. It shouldn’t...Daddy tried it already...BUT WHAT IF IT HURTS YOU AND NOT ME?!?! Calm down, calm down…” Daddy placed a purple berry in front of me. It looked like one from Uncle Niit’s bush. (The spiky black berries from our bushes were bad for me, Mommy had told me.)  I looked to Mommy for confirmation of un-dangerous-ness. She looked tired and sad and had her eyes closed. She hadn’t been talking as much or as fast lately. Her belly was very big. She said that the baby was very energetic and kept her up all night, but I don’t think that was it. Uncle Niit and Uncle Ique passed away in the night and Mommy, Daddy and Uncle Onoko were all getting old too. Uncle Onoko was weak and would probably die first. Mommy was very close to him.

    Not only that, but Mommy didn’t have any daughters. That meant there might not be a Queen after her. At least, that’s what Daddy told me. He told me that if Mommy doesn’t have a daughter, then I’ll have to take the leafy loop — the Leaves of Home, Mommy calls it — and find a new Queen myself. I found my second gem in my nest today. I hope two gems makes me old enough to find a new Queen if I have to.

    I overheard Daddy and Cousin Pnuma whispering last night. Daddy was telling Pnuma that if he passed first, and Mommy hadn’t had a daughter yet, it was Pnuma’s job to try and get Mommy to mate with him, in hopes of one last chance for a girl baby. I’d wrinkled my nose in disgust. Mating is icky! And Mommy with Cousin Pnuma?! ICK!

    I shook my head to clear it. I looked back at Mommy. This time, her eyes were open. She nodded, and I gingerly picked up the berry with my ugly teeth. I munched down and purple juice splurted everywhere. It tasted really good and I quickly ate the berry and started licking the juice that was everywhere. Daddy giggled. He had berry juice all over his face! 

    Mommy looked over and started giggling too. I laughed so hard I didn’t look at where I put my paws and stepped on some more berries, making me slip. Me and Daddy laughed really hard. Mommy laughed as best as she could, which wasn’t very hard since she was really tired, but at least she was happy for a few moments.

    Daddy booped my nose—I love you! —and I held still for a moment. I love you too! Then Daddy booped Mommy’s nose, and I booped it too at the same time. I love you! I love you! Mommy laughed and held still. I love you too, my loves.

    @Flèche des NeigesI think we count "pre-launch access to the game" as Early Access. So if I recall correctly by getting the "Scout" perk and above you get access to the "Early Access" phase.

    @Zixvir More money means basically either we can work longer on the game (=improve the game) before we run out of money and HAVE to release (to get a new money influx), or we can hire additional people so we can work on it faster. We're still a small team and we're still fighting for survival :) Money doesn't make a game better by itself, but it makes the two things mentioned above possible :) 

    ~ h i r e ~

     

    (as long as you keep on doing updates after official release (if you have enough money from sales) so it's still improved on)

  5. It's that time of year.

     

    Secret Santa time.

    1. Comment below if you'd like to a be a Secret Santa and recipient. With this comment, include a picture of the nicheling you'd like drawn, as well as any info you can give about them (genes, personality, differences from photo).
    1. Signups end the 17th! (We'll need all the time we can get to do the art.)
    2. I will use a random generator to pair participants. (I will not be a participant.)
    3. I will pm everyone with their recipient's name, nicheling and info.
    4. Everyone makes their art. It can be traditional, digital, pixel, a sculpture, whatever you want; animation, gif, anything! Do not sign your art or post it on any platform, including the forums.
    5. Everyone PMs their art to me.
    6. On or near December 25th (my schedule may cause delays), or when everyone is finished, I will post the finished art with the recipient's name. The Santas will remain Secret. Do not make guesses yet.
    7. On January 1st, everyone may make their guess on who was their Secret Santa. Secret Santas may confirm or deny these guesses. Please wait for your recipient to guess you and then confirm the guess rather than announce that you were so-and-so's santa. 
    8. If your recipient has made a correct guess and you confirmed, you may post your art to other places (DA, Fanart section, etc). You may also sign the art. (If you'd like your signed art used instead of the unsigned version if posted elsewhere by other people, just say so.)
    9. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ❤️❤️❤️ 

     

    IMPORTANT

    Like last year, we will have Volunteers, but with a new name: Emergency Santas (ESs). ESs will make art for anyone whose Secret Santa did not finish or submit their art by the release date. (If the Secret Santa submits their art later, it will still be posted without the Secret Santa's name being revealed.) ESs need to be able to quickly make art. This Emergency Art (EA) does not need to be of the same quality of the official art; EA is just so everyone can receive something at the same time. ESs can also be a regular Santa at the same time.

    Just ask if you'd like to be an Emergency Santa.

    Emergency Santas: @Sky, @Spottedfire, @A Nicheling, @Flower, @Chicken-duck-woman-thing

     

     

    TIPS

    -Try out a new style or a style you haven't revealed before. It will be harder to guess the Secret Santas.
    -You can ask me for a critique if you want. This would be especially helpful if you're trying a brand new style and you're not sure if it's good. Just tell me what level of critiquing you want: Light, Medial or Heavy.
    -Don't start a big project. Go with something simple, like a headshot, to give yourself time to finish and not be rushed.

     

    (and yeah I used my mod powers to pin this, it's an annual festivity that involves most of the Niche forumers, and everyone needs to see it!!)

    I found a US food channel on TV, I noticed US adds are a lot better than the ones in Spanish. It is so fun that in medicine adds, like half of the add is just health warnings. Lol

    [insert weird medicine name here] helps you live life fully! side effects include cause nausea, headaches, weight loss,  hair loss, bleeding gums, tooth looseness, tooth loss, hives, rashes, confusion, dizziness, sweating, trouble breathing, numbness, extreme pain, seizures, loss of brain function, loss of appendages, nerve damage, fever, blindness, deafness, and even death. [catchy jingle plays]

  7. I'm working on a wiki for all my gods and as I go I'm finding things that I have to actually learn a little code to do. Like, I added a new row to a template but the row didn't appear when I used the template so I went to the template's source code and found the problem and actually fixed it!! it feels really good
