Community Challenge Playthrough (Rainforest)

[mhiahia]

Sooo...I got rainforest and I'm kind of scared, because you can't unlock the velvet paw, but you need it.

Which is why I really wanted starters that have this gene. And I got them! Yay!

So, here are my starters. It somehow didn't save all my screenshots, so I don't have one where you can their genes. The female is called Koanala and the male Ronukduk, and I keep those names since I'm terrible at naming (ideas are always welcome). Ronukduk gets dots and good eyes for the mutation menu, because he has non-dominant shortsighted eyes. Koanala gets dots too, and also Derp Snout.

They decide to explore a bit and find a healing plant. Koanala buids her nest there, so she can have her first child.

I really hope that it gets the velvet paw (both parents have one)

They soon have their baby, and the screenshot wasn't saved again. I forgot his name, but he has one velvet paw, no dots and a cracker jaw.

His parents decide to go and collect fruits from a smelling plant, and their son stays to guard the healing plant.

Koanala builds a nest for the second time, and a wanderer appears. He has double velvet paw and stinky tail, but the tribe can't spare food right now.

Kuvannu (the first born, finally found his name) hits him three times, but he still manages to steal the fruit.

On the 10th day, Nunuro gets born. The tribe is happy that he has dots and derp snout, however they are disappointed because he's not female.

 

I'll continue updating after the next ten/fifteen days. Names for the nichelings and tipps for surviving are welcome.

[mhiahia]

Aaaand here are the next 16 days. I made way too many screenshots.

We continue where we have left of - the tribe is in desperate need of a young female with fitting immunities (and velvet paw).

The wanderer appears again and steals some berries. The tribe has enough food, so no harm is done. Kuvannu still hits him as a warning.

Koanala finally finds a permanent nest and waits to give birth. The annoying wanderer appears again and steals some smelly fruits. Our starting pair has gotten older, they have only a few days left. The wanderer has double immunities and spreads sickness. Kuvannu, Nunuro and Ronukduk get sick.

The first female with the name Anais gets born (her nickname is ketchup). Even though her immunities match with Kuvannu, her genes are a disappointment. She doesn't have velvet paw, neither dots, and has non-dominant short-sighted eyes.

After Anais/Ketchup's birth, Koanala mates with Ronukduk for the last time, since this was his final day.

I changed my way of taking screenshots (and even switched between the different ways) so it took some time to find all of them. Now everything's fine again. Ronukduk dies, and Anais leaves her nest, for her mother to sit on it.

On the following day, it's revealed that Koanala died while giving birth to a second baby - a girl again She's called Reme and has the velvet paw, her immunities don't fit to any of the males. Also, a bearyena appears and Nunuro (the derp snout with dots) attacks him.

The family tree, where you can see who has the velvet paw:

Sadly, Anais alias Ketchup, the only female that can savely breed doesn't have them.

The tribe is hungry, and Anais helps her to-be mate Kuvannu by gathering some smelly fruits. Nunuro still fights the bearyena. Meanwhile, Reme meets an uninteresting wanderer with bad genes.

Nunuro has finished off the bearyena and in doing so provides the tribe with food. This has left severe damage on him and also on his older brother, who helped him. Both healing plants have been eaten by Wanderers, so Anais mates with Kuvannu to get as many babies as possible.

Nunuro dies two days after and Reme grows up. She's been cracking nuts and collecting berries since she was born. Anais and Kuvannu collect smelly fruit.

Anais gets her first baby, a girl. Meanwhile, Reme secretely mates with Kuvannu. The chance of a sick baby is high, but the tribe can't afford to lose the velvet paws.

Anais first daughter Kois really doesn't posess the velvet paws. She's more or less useless to the group, breedingwise.

Kuvannu mates again with Anais, then passes away during the night. The tribe notices an interesting female.

It's a winged female with the J-immunity. Despite her low fertility, Reme decides to try and invite her. Anais get's ready for her second child.

Lame get's invited, and the tribe hears about her past. She was born into a tribe of wild, toxic bodied, bird-beaked, horned and flying nichelings. Her father was a wanderer with peacocktail and rather bad genes. Lame's mother fell for his attractiveness  and mated with him, even though a partner had been assigned to her. When lame was born, her father was already gone. When her mother saw her, she realised that she had fallen for a bunch of pretty feathers and bad genes. The baddest thing about Lame was her crippled paw, since she was not only unable to fly, but also unable to collect or hunt. The tribe banned her, after naming her Lame, to warn everyone she would meet about her being a useless cripple.

The tribe however is happy to accept her, since she brings them a new immunity and wings.

Anais has born her second, and approximately last child. She also discovers a wanderer nearby.

Anais Daughter is called Isana, and thankfully posesses the velvet paw. Her other genes could be better, but overall, the tribe is content.

This is where I'll leave it so far:

 

Forgive me for any spelling errors or uncorrect words, but his took me forever and I'm too lazy to read through it again right now.

Since it keeps on giving me those pictures, I'll just call this a best-of....

[mhiahia]

Last time, we discovered a wanderer, so Anais went to look for him and O my look at him!

I really want to invite him, but we don't have enough food to do so. The tribe continues only with collecting food for a few days, because they are at the limit. The wanderer disappears and Anais tries to follow him. While doing so, she discovers a nest.

A derp-snouted wanderer appears and since his immunities match all females except for Reme (who's still pregnant) and Anais (who I don't need for breeding) the tribe invites him. Lame proves to be useful for the tribe by removing stench from her tribemates (who collect smelly fruit).

Reme gets her baby. He's thankfully not sick, and carries the velvet paw.

Reme and her son are the only cracker jaws I don't need for breeding, so they crack nuts and collect berries. A bearyena appears and the tribe fights him. All three of the brown females next to him will mate with the derp snout.

The bearyena dies and the tribe befriends the baby. The derp snout has been badly hurt, and is already pretty old, so he eats the healing plant. The cracker jaw next to the friendly bearyena is also hurt, she's gonna eat the other healing plant.

Lame gets her baby, and he looks awesome! His fertility isn't too good, but everything else is alright. Also, Anais /Ketchup died. The tribe has more food now, everything goes smoothly.

Another baby is born, she's wonderful except for the lacking dots and the bad fertility.The hurt cracker jaw female has eaten the healing plant and waits to give birth. The derp snout male is dead, and a toxic bodied wanderer has appeared.

Things are going smoothly for the tribe so far. Also, are there any naming ideas for the toxic bodied boy?

[iikuzal]

The purple baby looks amazing! You could name him Tourmaline, which is a purple gemstone.

[mhiahia]

That's a great name, I'll call him like that! I hope he has a lot of beautiful babies.

[mhiahia]

And here comes the next update. I didn't really feel like playing, plus school has started again, but once I began, the fun started. When we left off, a wanderer was around, a new baby had arrived and one of the females was still pregnant.

She's the daughter of our derp snout Kuta and therefore the half-sister of Tourmaline. Her genes are a big disappointment, as she has recessive blind eyes, no velvet paw and only a recessive toxic body. Also, the wanderer gets invited.

The tamed bearyena appears again, just in time for Kois to mate with him. She hopes to bring the bearyena genes into the pack, where they could be needed.

Tourmaline and the rest of the tribe get really hot for some reason. Also, Lame has mated with the invited toxic-body wanderer, and is ready to give birth.

Lame has given birth to a little clone of herself, the only differences between them are eyecolour (the baby's eyes are black, Lame's are green) wings (the wings have switched sides) and paws (the baby has a claw, while Lame is crippled). It's her last day, and she's pregnant again, because none of her children have inherited her J immunity so far.

Lame passes away shortly after she gave birth to a little baby girl. She inherited the toxic body and the velvet paw, but not her mother's J immunity. Because of her golden pelt and her brown dots, she's called Amber.

Our invited wanderer dies, but a new pair of mates has appeared. Tourmaline and his half-sister Rekola mate together. They are trying to start a lineage of winged, toxic bodied nichelings. Also, a wanderer appears next to the two. He looks cool, but doesn't carry the right genes (actually, they are really weird).

Also, Kois has given birth to her hybrid child, but was too old to survive the next day. The baby, Kunuro, possesses all bearyena genes (most of them recessive) and unlocks the bearyena claw. He's destined to be a warrior, and a protector of the pack.

A day passes, and Lame's clone daughter (aka Sisana I think) discovers a rabbil at the shore. She jumps onto it, trying to catch it, but fails as it jumps away- although not far enough to avoid her deadly hit. Proud, she gathers the meat and decides to become a hunter.

Meanwhile, Koana (the yellow female with the stinky tail sitting on the nest) has mated with Vannuduk. They both carry the velvet paw, and hope for a baby that carries on this precious paw onto the next generation, since it's not sure which lineage Amber will follow - the one of her older brother or her own?

Koana anxiously awaits her firstborn - only to see her hopes for a velvet paw crushed. The healthy little girl between her paws carries nothings but the digging paw - twice. Apart from that, her genes are almost pure perfection (apart from the yellow fur). Still, little Kolaana will most likely not be used for breeding.

Meanwhile, Tourmaline and his mate Rekola have decided to build their own nest, and Rekola has given birth to a daughter. However, she's not at all what expected. With double claw and lacking toxic body, Ralame is entirely not what Tourmaline and Rekola wish their line to look like.

Islais is the second result of the desperate breeding for a velvet paw. Like her older sister, she only possesses digging paws. This seems almost like a curse.

Also, Tourmaline and Rekola have their second child, a rainforest-beauty with bad eyes and recessive peacocktail, Kola. Or Coca Cola, as I like to call her.

The digging paw curse has happened again - the third daughter of Koana and Vannuduk is born, no velvet paw is to be seen in poor Rare's genetics. Meanwhile, Amber is off to discover the unknown depths of the jungle, while our huntress Sisana hunts in the grass.

Tourmaline and Rekola also had their third daughter, Memera, the first winged creature in the history of the tribe. Her crackerjaw will be perfect to crack nuts. She also has the toxic body and recessive poison fangs of her father.

While Koana gives birth to their last child, Vannuduk passes away. The tribe is panicked - will the velvet paw stay? In the early morning, little Tataku is born - the first nicheling of the tribe to carry a double velvetpaw. His genes are almost perfect, except for the non dominant webbed hindlegs, but the curse of the digging paw has been broken. He gets renamed to Velvet, showing the importance of his genes.

As you see in the top left corner, Ralame (the claw child) and Kunuro (the hybrid) are both next to a nest. This is because they are a breeding pair. The primary goal is to give the recessive bearyena genes on to the next generation, and then to pair two of their children up, to unlock all bearyena genes. The secondary, long-time goal is a line of protectors and fighters.

The double digging paw Kolaana also went to the west, since there are many roots underground.She's right next to Sisana, who's there to hunt rabbils and stagmoles.

Kolaana discovers an albinistic wanderer with poison fangs, but since he has a recessive purrsnout (I don't really use purrsnout) and a crippled paw, we won't invite him.

The fourth daughter of Tourmaline and Rekola gets born. She's basically a copy of her older sister Memera.

Our first bearyena gene kid gets born. Taroduk is perfect, except for the lacking dots and the bad fertility. The pack hopes for a female that he can mate with.

Behind the young family, a bearyena appears. He picked the wrong prey, getting killed by four hits.

Memera sits onto a tree, starting to gather food by cracking the walnuts around it open. The group is doing really well so far.

Tourmaline and Rekola get a fifth daughter, Analare. She possesses the toxic body, but lacks a wing. Her genes aren't too good, but they are alright.

Our second hybrid son gets born, showing off the poison fangs of his grandfather, Tourmaline.

Speaking of which, Tourmaline is now father to a sixth daughter, that proudly presents her toxic body. Except for her gender and her head, she's the exact reproduction of her dad.

Our two hybrid boys finally get a sister. She shares the same immunity genes with her older brother, and one with her poison fanged brother, but it is still decided that she will mate with both of them, for the sake of the new genes and the future of the pack.

This is were I'll leave everything so far. The tribe has grown since the beginning, and begins to part into three different bloodlines: The winged toxic bodies, the strong bearyena hybrids and the fast velvet paws. Let's see how well this will go.

NUUU THE CAT-SNOUTS MUST REIGN

[mhiahia]

This is only a really short update, and the next one will probably come next week.

It's Tourmaline's last day, and since he only has daughters (six daughters. SIX daughters and no son) and the toxic body/wing lineage is at risk, he needs to find someone to mate with, in hopes of leaving a son after his death. (Also, once I get a tablet and become good at drawing nichelings, I will totally make some fanart of him, his mate and his children).

For the sake of his lineage, he decides to mate with the young double digging paw Islais.

Tourmaline's last day begins, and he passes away, next to his sister Amber and Islais, the mother of his last, unborn child.

Amber deicides to use the nest of the Rekola and Tourmaline. Rekola, who still mourns her mate, gladly lets her have it.

Also, Islais sits on the nest that she was born in, now waiting to have her first, and probably only child.

Meanwhile, poor Siisana has been stunned by a coconut.

Ralame decides to have another child, since only her firstborn carries the recessive bearyena hindlegs. Due to her and her mates low fertility, she has problems with getting pregnant, and doesn't succeed this day.

The next day begins, and with him two young lives. Tourmaline's last child turns out to be a sickly daughter called Rakoana with bad fertility and only a recessive toxic body.

On the other hand, Amber's first son Rovanta turns out to carry the velvet paw. His mother is stunned by his beauty (and I am too).

Two days later, Amber gives birth to her second son. Similar to her, he also caries a wing and a velvet paw, but still got the derp snout of his dad. Since he has a recessive toxic body and a wing, he could be the male to save the toxic body lineage.

The albinistic wanderer appears again, and gets attacked by our purple toxic body, Anareko (yes, I need to look the names up)

At the same time, Siisana finds some rabbils..doing a polonaise?

Our hybrids get their fourth, last and perfect baby. She doesn't have the recessive bearyena ears, but she has the hindlegs we needed, and just like her brother, she shows the poisonous fangs of her grandfather Tourmaline.

Siisana reaches her last day, surrounded by the rabbils she loved to hunt.

A bearyena appears, alarming the hybrids, who run in his direction as fast as they can.

He gets attacked and takes some damage, but not enough for him to die.

Amber gets her third son (if she continues to have boys, then...I dunno, I get angry?) Apart from his gender (and tail), he's living perfection, and has some beautiful blue eyes.

The albinistic wanderer dies, after he tried to steal some berries. He messed with the wrong tribe.

Anareko decides to continue her father's lineage, and takes her cousin Kirnu (Amber's second baby) as her future mate.

I have no clue why I took this screenshot, but this moment was worth it for some reason, so here he is:

Short notice: I really like having my playthrough here, because I can see what happened over time. It's kinda like a detailed family tree. This is why I will attempt a playthrough in Story mode, and post him in another topic. This was some shameless advertising, if you'd like some advertising too, you can buy this spot for only twenty food per letter.

[bostonlobstah]

great work! I'm on Rainforest for the first time just for the heck of it...doing much better than I thought. Actually enjoying myself quite a bit. It's not that hard an island. I'm just afraid an ape is gonna pop out of nowhere and kill them all lol

[mhiahia]

I'm just going to add the savefile of this playthrough here, so I can delete it and play the new update.
