Will you be taking the Servers down to implement them or running them in the back ground ?

Very curious as to how wild Bay will look!

We are getting rid of all our hand-drawn assets not adding to them but thank you for offering :)

I'm so excited for these changes! Looking forward to seeing what satin looks like, and cream! I am someone who avoids wild bay in-game but likes it in real life, so I'm looking forward to those changes too.

If not hand drawn, what would you be using? Sorry, trying to visualize that in my mind.

Thank you for all the work you put in to it, Ammit. I get a lot of enjoyment out of the randomness of the markings on my horses, and can't wait to see how the new updates will show up in my herds.

Thank you for this amazing game Ammit! So excited for the wild bay update. I love bays and their vast shade variation <3 and low points are so interesting genetically

I am not expecting liver to be impacted.

Oh I am so excited for this! I love the dynamic genes we already have so getting more of them will be awesome!

I already breed a lot of dun. Dun being more dynamic will likely make me love it even more!

Here is an example post of the agouti promoter changes I am working on.

The stallion is the after and the mare is the before.

We have done our first pass a satin update. I am not prepared at this time to post tons of examples for you but we would love to know if you think we are on the right track. (Ignore the missing leg markings please)

On Black

Are we in the right ballpark?

Ooooh! Nice!

That looks amazing! I would definitely breed for that look.

Speaking as someone who breed a lot of satin, it looks great!

I dont breed much satin, but am confused why it all looks like white highlights now ?

Oooooooooooo!

Today Jenx was able to finish the Friesian BC glow-up. The Friesian was out very first attempt at a BC and we were still learning what worked well for it. Now that we have more experience it is time to improve on those early efforts. The before is the current Friesian art in the game and the after is the update we are looking to implement.





Love the high gloss look? Here is the new proposed art with the new satin.

Seing the side by side example let's my brain process it better. Jenx did an awesome job.

It's an amazing update, definitely more realistic and highlights the muscling very nicely!

We have things a bit more nailed down now. So I can give a general update. In the next week or so we will roll out a very large update that will allow horses to generate all 4 of their legs independently from one another. The generator now really only creates two legs. After the update each leg will have have it's own generation and sampling.

Major things this update will include in addition to those 4 legs:
-Wild bay complete and total overhaul
-Switch over to new satin art
-Tweaks to cream generation.
-Nexus and Axium will no longer cancel each other out.
-The lowest level expression of roan will have more white hairs than before.
-Some pinto horses had overly blue eyes, this will be made more realistic.

It will also include the hundreds of small changes needed to make all the different four-leg generation work. Most of those you won't really see changes on. For example, Dun is still exactly the same; it just has a bit more leg going on.


Once this changeover occurs every horse will old generation will have broken far side leg markings on even simple things like bay. So we will be adding logic in the game that says if your horse is flagged to refresh its image and that image is older then the launch date of the 4 leg update, do a full regeneration of the image instead. This will mean the shape of your markings will change. There is no real way around that so if you have any horses with extra special markings be sure and safe those images asap.


After this update goes out I fully expect there to be a fair number of special cases that need adjustment. I will do my best to test things thoroughly but there is no way I can catch every possible combination. After this large update expect a bunch of smaller ones to come out in short succession.

I love image generation updates!

So excited!! Thanks for all the hard work :)

Ohh SO much better!

LOL @Cavalynn, they did look somewhat like "balloon Animals" for a Parade.

Ooh, very nice! I might have to buy the Freisian BC after the update. :-bd
