  1. I think Dovewing has blue eyes because I like the grey fur- blue eyes combination and because I think she was first introduced as blue eyed so I always imagine her like that, but I don't have a problem with people thinking she has green eyes. Warrior designs vary greatly anyway so why should Dovewing be any different :)

    I really like the idea that her eyes change colour when she uses her powers.

    Oh and I recently saw an artwork where they gave Dovewing green eyes so that she has the same eyecolour like Whitewing which is very cute :3

    So if I ever made a Dovewing design I'd probably give her heterochromia :D

    Oh and I don't care about scourges collar either. Really it is so trivial!

    The best thing about this being the week the update comes out (hopefully!) is that this is the last week of my second trimester of school, so we get Friday off! I'll have more time to play the new update :D

  3. I like it! I mean I don't really have problems with finding the genes I need but I can imagine that it is hard to find them sometimes and it would be very useful to have a tab system. Especially as we can assume that we'll get many more  genes in the future :D

  4. I read about this in the suggestion thread as well and agreed that it should be fixed. I have never noticed it happening in game because I don't look to closely at how it is passed down but I have seen multiple screenshots where it shows that it is a little wonky.

    I think the problem is: (mainly explained for @Skysplash8 ) that the hemophilia in game isn't that well linked to the gender as it is in real life (epxlained below).

    Hemophilia is a recessive gene that is linked to the x chromosome (females have xx males have xy). That are the chromosomes that define the gender.

    Now if the mother has double hemophilia, Father is healthy: that would make all the daughters healthy (but still a carrier as they get the healthy x chromosome from their father and one sick chromosome from their mother), the boys however will always be sick as they will get the y chromosome from the father and the x chromosome from the mother. Here we now can look at the screenshots provided above: the girls are carriers as they should be but the boys are healthy though they should be sick as they get the y from the father (which carries no genetic information apart from the gender and the sicks x from the mother):

    If both parents are sick of course the children would always be sick.

    If the mother is healthy and the father is sick the daughters will always be healthy (but carriers (they will always get one sick x from the father) and the sons will always be healthy without being carriers as they only get the y chromosome from the father.

    If the mother is a carrier and the father is sick the girls have a 50% chance to end up sick (getting the sick x from the father and the sick from the mother). The same goes for the boys as they can only get the y from the father and it is luck if they end up with the sick or the healthy x.

    If the mother is a carrier and the father is healthy there is a 50% chance that the girls will be carriers.

    Does that make sense? (Philo probably knows this but I thought I'd explain it anyway :D )

    Yeah, Retimed isn't our third game :)
    We help them with marketing and work in the same office.
    The new game doesn't have a name yet.
    The plan is to make a building simulation game where you build up a settlement on the back of a huge animal that walks around.
    But it's also still possible that we find out the concept doesn't work and do something else ^^

    Oh boy a building simulator by the guys that made Niche? I truly fear for my free time now ^^

  6. Just as an additional fun fact for hyenas (they have one of the most complex social system of all mammals). How many offspring you have also helps you secure your rank. Many children = higher rank/ better chance to overthrow the current matriarch. (That could make for some interesting mechanics in the challenge if you want to add it).

    Of course usually lower ranking females wouldn't get the best food shares and wouldn't be able to give birth to many children.

     

    Also, also males usually leave the pack they were born into and they usually don't overthrow the highest ranking male. We had a hyena challenge on steam where you had to have all your males leave and depending on your luck if they found a female wanderer you could have a lot of different packs on a big island which was fun :D

  7. Working on your projects in weeks sounds useful. I once tried to work on two different stories at once and that doesn't work very well. The characters start bleeding over into each other. So I totally get it. And I agree with everyone above we are excited but it is worth waiting for :D

    Imagine if you took your beautiful soon-to-be leader of the tribe Lareko onto the ports and left the jungle islands, only to see Lareko wasn’t there but instead an ape is. God I’d have a heart attack

    Yeah, you just thought you were safe and boom nope you are not.

    Also that would really complicate things like how would an ape interact with a balance bear? Or killer bearyena?

  9. I think it would be difficult to do a direct comparison between all the highest votes then. Right now it is very easy to see which suggestions have the highest votes. If everything would be in minor categories that would be more difficult to see.

    Why is everyone better at drawing than me? xD you would think i'd get better, since all i draw is cats, and I doodles them about 5 times a day. But, alas, I'm still not very good. I can only draw them in sitting and standing positions, too.

    I'd recommend looking at some anatomy and basing your scetches off of that and just either drawing from life or a lot of references that usually helps me a lot :)

    Well Philo gave me a nimbatus key not too long ago so... I am here for both

    I own both because I bought Nimbatus to support the devs but I don't play both. Not really intersted in it (also kinda worried that I might become as obsessed with it as with Niche XD )

  12. Some of these will be added in the upcoming update. I like the port choosing idea so I recommend to make separate posts for your ideas so that people can individually vote on them :)

    Things of your ideas that will be added in the upcoming update:

    Only for sandbox

    You can choose with how much food you start with (and nesting material)

    You can modify the lifespans of your Nichelings at the start (though they won't live forever)

    All genes unlocked from the start

     

    Things that have been suggested before:

    Modifying spawn rates and modifying biome types
