new things

Post by Lcameron »

i don't know about anybody else but as you play this game you occasionally come across something that makes you think 'gee i wish i could do that' or 'i wish this didn't happen'. i get that and after a while you gather together a bit of a list. these are the things i think would be cool.
family tree's: i think it would be cool to have a button that shows you: a horses family tree for quite a few generations

HGP sorting: wouldn't it be cool to be able to sort horses for sale and for stud by their HGP!

results of underfeeding: the fact that you have to feed horses in this game is pretty cool and makes it more realistic but it would make it a lot more realistic to have a consequence of not feeding a horse

training arena: something to help train a horse faster

hope to see these soon!

Perhaps a different layout for the pedigree might be handy. Waiting for each to load is fine and dandy, but perhaps having a pedigree page that doesn't load pictures or links might be handy as well. Sometimes, opening the pedigree to look for one particular horse or to see how many times a line was crossed or inbred to something would be handier or quicker if one doesn't need to wait for the links to load for each generation, especially since the more generations we open, the longer wait it becomes. I could vote for a 'quick-view' type of page that opens the entire pedigree of that horse without links or even without pictures. That would make viewing for certain things, and finding just that one horse, or number of horses SO much quicker. Thus navigating our pedigree page we currently have would be SO much easier. I'd like a link for a new-page tab opening with this option.

HGP sorting, as well as other options to sort has been requested in the past. I don't know what or if we will get different sorting options to our marketplace. Each one of us has different options we want added to our marketplace search. Such as COI, stat preferences, foal preferences (none versus under a certain number, or over, or with competing offspring...)... There are others, I can't think of them right now though.

Illnesses, diseases and consequences of certain actions have been scheduled, but are likely a long time in coming. Since the feeding system hasn't yet been fully fixed (there are some unusual side-effects from certain things, like the feeding bug that won't let a horse gain or loose weight on occasion), any consequences or illnesses related to feeding is likely not to be implemented until after the system has been worked on and corrected. Of course, I could be wrong about this. :D

I do believe we are schedule to have an update to our training this year (if I remember correctly), so we should see something this year on this. I don't recall exactly what however, but the patron release and the publicly released topic on this had this information in it...

After visiting and scanning over the post, this is what I did find:
The original version of the game from 2004 had a Training Arena which was basically a page of all your active horses in training and you could train all of them at once. I would definitely like to add something like this back to the game, and most likely will look at adding this in sometime later this year.
So that is what we might expect at some point this year, depending on what, how and time needed to add this.

But again, I agree with adding such things. :D
