Might be an unpopular opinion, but these kind of specific phobias/triggers/whatever should be solved by the person with that phobia/etc, as you just have a site-made dragon and they should realize that site-made dragons and items are allowed to exist in that site without extra warnings.

it's kind of you to think of this but it also kind of reveals a bit of terminally online brainrot. i saw someone on the water discord a while back ask if fish (yes, pictures of fish, in the water discord) could be spoiled because they have a fish phobia. it's nice to be considerate to people but i don't think we should be reinforcing a social norm that aims to solve a problem which should be handled by individuals themselves. i don't play lioden bc i don't want to see images of fucked up lion cubs, and if people really don't want to see primal eyes they should stay off of FR.

It sucks because I actually had a lot more 'fun' with Lioden than I do with Flight Rising, but I hate seeing the more grotesque art in a realistic style of a real animal so I no longer play it. Flight Rising gets away with this since, in my eyes, they're all imaginary creatures with a much more cartoony style and the overarching themes of FR have nothing to do with realism. So its pretty easy to not get bothered by the more grotesque accents/skins and items on FR for me. I couldn't really get away with that in Lioden due to how its depicted and painted. I miss playing that game, but oh well!

AYRT the lioden illustrations feel kind of gratuitous/shock value to me. FR plague/shadow primal is for some people a desirable aesthetic to pursue, whereas afaik the lioden cubs just die after a few days anyway??

not all mutations are lethal but for those that are, they all have different time periods for when the lion/cub will die.

however they're still desirable as you can do the FR version of perma-babying them, so you can keep them forever and dress them up, show off, sell etc

There's a scatterscroll for eye-colour-only, but the base+other three don't have an individual. (Which I personally think should stay that way, and have argued to kingdom come against FR single colour scatterscrolls anyway.)

also da.

you made me curious so i googled it. what i found: you can feed your lioness GMO meat to make the chances of a mutated cub higher. also, you can feed your lioness lion scrotums for the same purpose. anyway i am going back to my 13+ site now because my adult self can't handle lioden...

"I find it very disrespectfull that devs refuse sound all "bugged" rarity genes and change all this errors at once. Forcing players live under Damocles sword. That Any pair they have could be ruined. (With no garanty gens rarity ever get sounded consistency criteria before devs decide create new criterias!) (What for they "cut tail by inches"? I can not imaginate any respectfully reason) "

What does this mean? Like I'm assuming this is someone who isn't a comfortable English speaker and is trying their best, so I'm not trying to make fun of them or anything, but I genuinely can't figure out what half the post is saying. I get the general gist of "I'm worried about my pairs changing" but what is the cutting tail by inches thing? What are they using sound/sounded to mean? I like reading through the posts to see where everyone falls, and this is such a puzzle that I really, really want to see solved. (And again, I mean absolutely no disrespect to the person involved and don't condone anyone making fun of them -- please don't do that. I just wanna know what they're trying to say.)

Okay I spoke too soon, there's a clarification about "There’s a Russian anecdote about a man who loved his dog so much that when the vet told him he needed to cut the dog’s tail off he couldn’t do it all at once, so he did it an inch at a time. Don’t be that kind of manager."

So I guess that's the "cut tail by inches" thing, but I still don't understand the sound/sounded, so if anyone has any idea what that's supposed to be, please please please hypothesize.

I took it as 'Finding it disrespectful that devs are changing rarity of genes slowly instead of all at once on the basis of being a bug, especially when there is no consistency in the criteria of what makes a gene a certain rarity, since they can change any moment'.

Yeah this doesn't make me feel confident about the dev's sense of game design. It seems like every other update they come out with gets massive amounts of backlash that they end up having to walk back in some form. I still remember when they thought adding the "Nothing" scenarios was a good idea...

Browser game with an emphasis on the forums and you can't even edit your forum thread titles. People make titles as "WIP" or "DNP" and then realize oh fuck I can't change that??? And have to make a new thread entirely. Quotes still say "coming soon!" and it's been like that for like a year. I didn't think they would be able to deliver an incomplete forums system but here we are!

Quality product 10/10, hope the Kickstarter backers are proud

what happened to the rule of archiving posts?

That's literally the same misinformation that is used to fearmonger GMO products in RL - if true, I have no words but yikes.

We don't do that here anon, being on the spectrum isn't a bad thing and shouldn't be used as an insult. You can do that elsewhere.

I completely forgot about Damocles when I first saw it, and was like 'what'... Today, when my brain is awake apparently, I now know what that means.

As for the sound/sounded, I *think* they may be using sound in the sense of 'good' Like the below definition. So, basically they are saying that the developers might never give consistency criteria that are reasonable, before the developers change their mind/create new criteria for those categories.

based on reason, sense, or judgment.
"sound advice for healthy living"
