hey

It's Pride Month.

Pride month is back up at the usual page! (well, it never left, but the links are active again, haha)
You can head there to check out the details and join in on the group collab image that we do every year! All Chasmhome species are welcome, anyone with an import or even just a reference for the non-import species is all good! Ketixi and K-NOMS 100% allowed, crossovers 100% allowed, I know that was a question last year and yes as long as the other group allows crossovers you are A-OK to go!

Have fun if you join in, we're looking forward to seeing everyone's entries!

While the payouts for the prompt mainly benefit Rixixi and B-NOMALIES, we're currently trying to figure out prompts for Aex and bonuses for Aex. I genuinely don't know how pride month bonuses will play into this! Working on it! Just a heads up!

.

Quick update on the geno transfer to MYOs:

it is still going, I swear, there are just so many genos so it's taking a bit fdggh. But it's going. I'm in the earlier quarters of the breeding journal, then I'll move to additional geno sources, like the initial X-NOM crossover, euphoria threads, the new breeding prompts, semicustoms, and so on. so if it seems like i'm skipping some it might be in another journal... oops.

Anyways, have fun, see you soon!

Hey, big thing going on here -

Rixixi News

DESIGN APPROVAL AND BREEDING (FOR RIXIXI) ARE CLOSED TEMPORARILY
(b-nom breedings are still open)

I am porting all genos to MYO slots! They will be linked on the breeding comment/live transmutation comment/etc for ease of finding where they've gone! THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE. Sorry in advance for the wait. When they're ported, Design Approval will reopen on this lorekeeper site, and breedings will open back up!

I know there is quite a backlog of designs and breedings - sorry about that, I was just having a hard time setting aside a good day for them! They will still be gotten to, they're still valid. However, if you are sent to corrections, it'll have to wait, corrections is Closed.

Sorry again for the wait, fingers crossed that this isn't too painful!

UPDATE:

If you have a MYO geno uploaded to the site, you're allowed to design it and upload it to the site. Please feel free to ask if you're confused by the process, I don't have a page written up for it yet but it's the same method as B-NOMALIES. I normally would prefer everyone to be on equal footing but I want to sort of test some beta features that were added to MYOs and so this would help me out greatly if anyone is interested. No pressure though, only if you have one you want to upload.

Semi-random trait update

B-NOMALY News

Polydactyl and Shell are now available for B-NOMALIES! As this was not due to an adoptable, they don't have examples, but hopefully the text is clear enough, let me know if it's not.

Multispecies news

Sleipnir on B-NOMS and Rixixi can display polydactyly without needing polydactyl! It made enough sense.

Enjoy!

Happy April fool's chaos, today we are actually playing an april fool's prank, the four Rixixi uploaded today are humans

(:

Manticores now have imports available! Being humans with extreme body mods and some gene splicing, some mutations are unavailable to them, and some have limitations, but they're still plenty moddable. Their head and facial hair are freely editable without items, along with their masks (masks being common in the Alchemy ring). They do need an item to breed with Rixixi, unless they're a starter - luckily, the Manticore Vat is cheap to craft at the Witchin' Kitchen, or to purchase at the Egg Shop or Event Shop!

Manticores will have an Illusionate-Glass Core, but I didn't have time to get it out right on launch, because I um. Kind of forgot they needed one until 5 hours ago. So that'll be coming soon, don't worry!

As always, there is an April Fools' event, and Chasm Eggs are floating about on 8 pages on Nsk Net! Go ahead and find them! If the items seem a bit underwhelming, it's because they're the crafting/purchasing cost for Manticore Vats, which are cheap! Though of course you don't have to spend it on that C:

More updates!

• There is a Manticore Semicustom option in the Chasm Egg Shop!
• Live Transmutation changes! The chance to roll a random number of markings and mutations dropped by 10% (down to 10%), and a 10% chance to combine into a Manticore was added!
• New starter: Mercury - a human (: . As a starter, Mercury can breed with Rixixi without the need for a Manticore Vat. You can get Mercury slots through the Mask Up mini-event listed in the April Event page!
• New NPCs: Cheshire's Coffee, Bouncer, and Baryonyx - humans (: This is the trio on the Live Transmutation banner!

Enjoy your gene spliced body modded human ARPG, I need to chill for a bit haha

The dwarf Primal lounged in the field, rolling side to side in contentment. Flowers bloomed all around her, wafting sweet scents up into the air. The mix of sunlight and a fresh spring breeze brushed just right over her scaled nostrils, causing the small Primal to sneeze. The Rixixi sat upright, cleaning her face off, as a shadow encroached on her personal space. Another Rixixi stood over her, almost looming due to her diminuitive stature and the other's status as a walking tree.

"Hey, Serri, didn't see you there," Shasta mlemmed her paw and rubbed it against her face, cleaning a speck of dirt from a scaly eye ridge. "What's shakin'?"

Serritana chuckled, shaking her head. "I thought you were heading out here to collect and deliver flowers for me, but you seem to be lounging by yourself."

"Oh!" The dwarf said, as if finally remembering what she was doing. "Serri, baby, there's flowers all around, take a look! Look at these sweet little daisies, come here. Aren't they cute? And then these little violets, they're small, but it's a nice pop of color. You can get some flowers right here, I'm telling you!"

The wandering willow pulled back, laughing but clearly baffled at being tugged around like a toy. It was true, however. She thumbed a daisy. The wildflowers were plentiful, and growing all over. They would make a welcome addition to her bouquets.

Spring Changelog

• This Winter's new starter is Shasta, for all your good vibes needs. She has three new genes:
• New gene: Skink (nSki/SkiSki), or Boar+. Skink is also lines down the side of an Ixi, though these can be one to two (three if dominant) different base coats' colors, instead of lighter and darker than base coat colors. (suggested by pawstepsinthesnow , sort of)
• New gene: Chain (nChn/ChnChn), inspired by chain catsharks, a series of connected geometric blobs, a little more irregular than the Hexagon gene. Spot genes like Inkblot, Cowspot, and Koi can fill in the entire interior of the Chain markings, no matter the original size requirements for the spot markings. (suggested by pawstepsinthesnow , sort of)
• New Gene: Polydactyl (+PlyD). Technically this could have been a mut station edit, but we're expanding it to allow many thumbs, misplaced thumbs on the hand, and an optional back paw dewclaw on non-primal Rixixi.
• There's a dA hub!
• The seasonal Raid has rolled over, and flowers are truly in bloom. Massive flowers upon a twisting rack of antlers, miles tall. The Trophy is here.

Everything should be rolled over, if you see something mentioning a season that's not fall let me know!

Happy Leap Day! We have some things completely unrelated to leap day going on, coincidentally:

Multispecies news:

The Semi and MYO sale for Kitty has been extended a month due to additional vet costs. If you were missing anything, you've got more time to get it now!

Aexent can be part B-NOMALY now - you can declare B-NOMALY traits when posting your Aex to the upload prompt. Rixixi have... something... planned for the future, and haven't been included yet as a result.

That's it for now! See you soon!

Rixixi News

Two new items have been released, for Valentines' Day:

• Collar
• Shock Collar

"anar isn't this blatant kink content" yes. happy holidays

The Authorities have been updated as an example of how a shock collar works in an Ixi's description.

Also, aroaces, I see you, I know I'm being very kinky and romo this valentines' season. I've enabled TREAT FOR TRICK out of season because the real point of the holiday is discount candy, you feel me. I'm honestly mostly in it myself for pink content and candy. I just wanted to do this for a laugh V:

Okay I'm done, enjoy

Check out the Flash Sale if you have time and funds to spare!

A strange cold wind blew over the desert, preceding a shadow gliding over the dunes. Slow wingbeats thumped down through the sky as Chione made her way across the northern hemisphere of Sxriix, following in Enneriix's footsteps to bring winter - and what she had heard of winter was cold and white. Frosted crystals sprinkled down from the Dwarf Primal's wings, melting in midair before they reached the sand, but still baffling the creatures below and the air itself. Chione smiled and darted towards the nearby town. Surely they would be happy to see snow. Maybe some of them had never seen it before.

She stopped in midair against her will, something grasping at the nape of her neck. Wings fluttering like a hummingbird, arms going every which way, Chione twisted and wriggled until she could finally see... Enneriix itself, looking at her with a sigh plastered across its face. A deep voice rang out from the Ixi.

"Stop. Freezing. The desert."

Winter Changelog

• This Winter's new starter is Chione, the uh, adorable ecological disaster... She has two new genes:
• New gene: Glitz, a gene that makes glitter appear on the Ixi! We got permission from Ketucari to clone the Luster gene because I needed it for Ketixi and of course regular Ixi.
• New gene: Stamped, for any simple shapes that Squared and Hexagon don't cover. (Suggested by @Kitsu and also pawstepsinthesnow )
• There's a hub on dA as usual!
• The seasonal Raid has rolled over, and... something new is happening. The Quarantine Ring is leading a raid on all of the Couloir gigafauna, to take them down before they can strike. All previous raid bosses are available this raid season, and the raid points count starts at 10 - fogshards are immediately available. Happy Holidays!

Everything should be rolled over, if you see something mentioning a season that's not fall let me know!

Hey, we've got some fairly important Rixixi news (stuff you should really be aware of), and some regular news!

Rixixi News

Y'all may have noticed that design approval and breedings slowed, and breedings were briefly marked closed to Rixixi. I've unmarked them as closed, and I'm absolutely going to get to them before anything here happens, but they're going to close again in January, and here's what's up.

Due to dA making sta.sh function far worse, genos are all going to be converted into MYOs, and design approvals are going to be run through lorekeeper at that point. This is going to happen sometime in January - I'm not sure on the exact date yet, we have to get a couple of functions worked into MYOs first because a couple of things are missing but it's only a couple. Breedings are involved in this because they generate more genos and I don't really know what to do about that, I'm fine with rolling the current ones but I don't want more to be made while I'm converting from geno to MYO, y'know?

This will probably take a while because there are a lot of genos. This is fine, I like tedious things, but it just might put a holdup on new designs. Please be aware of that! It'll also probably be kind of weird getting used to the lorekeeper design approval method if you haven't used it already. If you've put a B-NOM in, it's the same thing.

Design approval and breedings were slowed/temporarily closed because this was originally going to happen in November maybe (didn't reach an official decision in admin chat but it was my original plan), but didn't happen that way, and December is entirely too busy for me to work this in, so it's moved over to January and I'm giving y'all a heads up in case you want to get any designs in before then. (:

The Semi and MYO sale is still open until January 5th! Check it out if you're interested!
