.: Update! :.
Re-Brand: The Blaq Labs'
Behind heavy locked doors in the depths of a labs office building, shadowy figures exchange talk; golden credits are exchanged bewteen gilded, emeral-encrusted and various-jewled hands; Somewhere in these back offices, a 'Go' is given, and a carefuly embedded, safe, family-friendly code-of-conduct, is quietly swept off of the fine-print of a prime contract in which all lab-productions are made under...'
"The Black Bones has undergone a licencing change, and from now on will be working under the label of
Blaq Labs! Family & societal focus is still number #1, and the future promises many wonderful household products, pets and creatures which you can not only enjoy owning, but be proud of growing!!"
Blaq Lab Updates:a.
Blaq Lab Crossbreeds are now up-to-date! Baby-forms have their stats, and hieght-charts are up!
You'll notice some of these charts have a name &lineage on their chart-image; if you don't see information on your cross, don't worry! It simply means you & your group still need to
name your cross- Once they're officially named, the chart will be updated with it along with their lineage.
b.
Customization, is saddly, no longer available...
Pre-designed customs will still be created & released in lump-sums with updates to the thread to let people know when there're new creatures available in the shop!!
These designs are still one-of-a-kind (
the add-ons and palettes will still be re-used in future endeavors, i.e. those angel wings may crop up again), & there's no set price!
c.
Breeding has expanded to include
Serums of Procreation!
Roleplay bewteen the breeding pair is mandatory(
Misc. RP does count!).
Be aware!! These injections are notorious for strange things cropping up and odd happenstance- anything under the sun can happen up when using these... (
these come with a 'creative freedom' fineprint!)
You can still decide to pay the chunky fee of
$50 instead, to guarentee more elbow-grease & spitshine is applied to an overall outcome, and to nix having to write out a roleplay.
d.
Crossbreeding has been re-introduced with the original price of
$30!
These crosses however, are Very-much off-the-wall and will definetly have the tell-tale signs of scientific-medilling into genetic-abominations...(
see: creative freedom)... but don't fret!! You can still choose to pay the much heaftier
$80 to pick-out a sketchy-idea of an outcome you desire.
Baby-forms are still available for
+$20 fee, and can be applied to either crossbreeding.
Seasonal Sect:The changing enviroment through the passage of time brings awash of new, different, and exciting things; Strange species, new breeds, unique pets and all sorts of creatures can appear at certain times of the year- Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter! These aren't guarenteed to happen
every year but it could pay-off to take a look and see if something is being planned for an upcoming season! (
Thread will be updated when something is taking place during a season)
Anything produced by Blaq Labs that may be influenced by the Seasons or is otherwise yearly-time oriented, will be listed in this new
Seasonal Sect; Be sure to check the thread for updates regarding releases and seasonal-focused updates!
Buyback Programs:Unsatisfied with the outcome of your Ohou puppies? or have you managed to collect a set of eggs...but the designs' not for you? Blaq Labs will by them back! Parents of Ohou-breedings (
+mixed breedings) will pay
50 credits for each one!*
*These puppies & eggs will become property of Blaq Labs and may re-emerge at a later date grown, altered, used in Blaq Lab projects (
ex. Hunting) or otherwise be listed for re-sale to any interested user
Ohou:"The previous genetic structure built for the hunting-focused species wasn't...
un-stable per-se, built from scratch to eliminate as many 'oddities' and 'strange' things from the DNA as possible made its genetic code fairly sturdy, but! There is always room for improvement.
The labs have since 're-woven' the Ohou genetics to be even sturdier, and far more durable (
the potential for your Ohou melting into goo is at an all-time low) with this genetic re-wiring!
Getting a genetic nit-picking, Ohou are slated to be that much sleeker as a hunting companion and a friendly family member to join the household with a variety of genetic goodies that can crop up depending on the pups Lineage- they won't even pick fights with your other canine-focused creatures*!!
In a smaller, very fine-print, off to the side, those with a keener eye can catch another paragraph regarding this sentiment:
*we at Blaq Labs hold no responsibility for the interactions between the creatures created within Blaq Labs and the companions kept by the civilizans of the City- this includes and is not limited to bites, abbrasions, broken bones and emergancy-room deemed wounds; your willing contribution as a civilian who would own an Ohou agree to waive all liability of any medical distress"
Generation 0 Ohous can be
purchased with credits!
Already own an Ohou? Puppies will automatically grow into these updated Genetics!
Certificates:(
Ordinarily) Earnt through completing tasks within the Everfields, certificates gained by a pet can be applied to the individuals
Blaq Labs breedings!
Certification only applies to the pet who earned it- Pets' cannot share a certificate, and if both parents in a breeding are certified, the chances of receiving certificate-given goodies increases!! More information about individual certificates and how they're applied can be read over
here in the Seasonal Sect.
Hunting:This resource-gathering activity is ready for play!! 0:
Search, Track, & Find a variety of small wild animals and resource, or choose to send a pet (
or a few) out to
Hunt on their own! Hopefully they won't run into trouble while they're out running into the wilderness on their own...
There aren't yet a hundred+ ways to use these resources, but who knows what the future holds?!
