ChasingNyx Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 So all credit to @Niche fan for suggesting this! But they never explained how it would work in game, so I'm suggesting how it will work! So, I'm doing this because I noticed it was in the second community voting of the top 20 most voted. So, here we go! List of all heterochromia I have seen in cats in pictures: Yellow-Blue Blue-Orange Blue-Green Green-Blue Brown-Blue Of course we can make other color combinations, but yup. So I'll use Brown-Blue as my example. The left side would be brown because the left eye would be brown and the right side blue because the right eye would be blue. This could be something from wanderers that you can unlock if you invite them to your tribe, like a rare cosmetic unlockable? Or it could be like albinism and melanism and not be in the mutation menu. But it'd be very hard to get in your genes and all other eye colors would trump heterochromia because its so rare. Yeah thats it, admins feel free to move this somewhere else if it should be!

Pokestardragacraft Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 That’s an interesting take on the idea! I always thought of heterochromia being a separate gene with three alleles: normal eye color, dominant heterochromia, and recessive heterochromia. Normal eye color would be the most dominant but the other two would only be found through wanderers and aren’t in the mutation menu. Dominant heterochromia differs from recessive heterochromia by having the dominant eye color on the right rather on the left (just to have different variants). I also talked about it here as well: https://strayfawnstudio.com/community/index.php?/topic/2444-advanced-eye-color/#comment-8834 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingNyx Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 I know you talked about it there but I'mma be honest... I didn't understand half of that because I am a simple 7th grader. So I just made my own, simple explanation for how it might work there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonlobstah Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 What poke means is that there could be separate genes that determine if the animal has heterochromia or not. The most dominant gene is no heterochromia, then right eye heterochromia, then left eye. right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingNyx Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 That makes sense I suppose. But I just thought of a simple-ish explanation because I don't really wanna stress the devs with an even more complicated gene system for eyes too? But if they wanna make it that complicated, they can. Or maybe we could put that experimental mutation system they were working on earlier in use for this, and have it be just a tiny chance of it mutating if the parents have some different eye colors, dominant or recessive. shrug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 @ChasingNyx If you're going INTO 7th grade, then we're probably about the same age! (I'm going into 7th as well) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niche fan Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Thanks for the shout out but I only mentioned it again because Philo liked the idea a long time ago. My take on it is the eyes would have been a sign of distemper / anger but that is more of a myth. They could get the "crazy eye" from a bearhyena or rouge and you wouldn't want that gene because the niche would scoot away out of position like it's half wild. Like a wolf & dog mix. The movement and everything is a lot of extra work so glad they still went with the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingNyx Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 @Niche fan Ahh. Didn't know that! But I still think they should just be a cosmetic thing, ya know? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am crazy eyed and my father was bear(yena). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niche fan Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 ChasingNyx's ideas are better thought out and would make good additions to the game. RandomWanderer Sorry you had to find out your family history through this game lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wander Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I would think that heterochromia would be like albinism and melanism. There would be a gene to have it or not have it. You need to have both genes in order to make heterochromia appear. After you have both genes, instead of turning your niche white or black it changes the eye colors. The eye colors depend on what 2 eye color genes you already have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
