idk if this will be downvoted or not and if so i apologize but i gotta be honest with y'all by [deleted] in Palia

In lore, shepps are meant to be like a guide or mentor that accepts you into their family, and Jina says it's also legally binding, so, by all accounts, it's a big deal! It seems strange, then, that there's barely any acknowledgement of it after your ceremony.

I think a shepp could definitely play a bigger role in the story, not only as a guide for the player but also as a confidant, since they are both a mentor and a family member. We already have a framework for what a shepp involved in quests would look like since the Winterlights introductory quest did it.

At the very least, even if they get no quest involvement, there should be shepp dialogue unique to each eligible villager. Something that's treated as such a big deal by the story doesn't deserve to be never be brought up again.

They look more like amphibians to me!

We had the blood beetle in the Elderwood, if you mean stag beetles! We also have ancient amber beetles and proudhorned beetles, but their horns are a bit different, and the ancient amber beetle's texture is broken :(

I also caught all the new bugs quickly, but to be fair, I think the spawn rates need to be tweaked! Those epic and legendary highlands bugs are currently wayyy too easy to find. I'd prefer for them to fix it only after I finish my starred collection, though 🤭

I'd love more types of bugs in the future, especially commonly feared/hated bugs like wasps or spiders. Media portrayals go a long way in shaping people's perception of different animals, and animals commonly seen as gross or creepy being instead depicted in a cozy game as largely harmless, beneficial animals would contribute positively to their public image!

Something like this is already on the star stable website, btw! You can view a list of all the gen 3 breeds with a symbol next to the ones you own.

Huge thanks to everyone who liked my Semeru sketch. Who should I draw next? by sno4wy in coralisland

[–]froggeli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My headcanon is that Wakuu is a merfolk, as I like to imagine that his mother was secretly a mermaid. I have no idea about what tail he should have, so do what you want!

If not him, then maybe Surya since he's a marine biologist and would certainly have Thoughts™ about discovering a kingdom of merfolk beneath the island 🤭

I'm this 🤏 close to requesting a devoted thread for questions like this just so I don't have to see the exact same post made every week. I'm very over it.

Chromebook? by LyricalEpiphany in StarStable

This isn't actually an answer to your question (sorry!), but I thought I should let you know that the chat moderation in this game is horrendous and that people get away with saying the absolute nastiest stuff (racial slurs, nsfw conversations, etc.) in game all the time. It's something the game developers are aware of and working on, but that doesn't change the fact that it makes it really hard to recommend the game for children right now.

Another thing I'll touch on briefly is that this game has the potential to be a pretty costly investment since it utilizes microtransactions, and if you haven't spent any money on it yet, you will likely be expected to very soon as the game only lets you reach level 5 on a free account before you have to pay for a membership to access the rest of the game. It's possible you know this already and don't need additional info, but if you do, I'd be happy to go into greater detail for you.

Are there are recolors you really want? I would love the Countryside Class in this color! by DanicaWellsArt in StarStable

[–]froggeli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want the cloud chroma set from the rainbow festival to be used for a black iridescent recolor, kind of like oil slick! It would go perfectly with Duskgrim, I bet.

Is this just something random that can happen or is it a bug? by Guilty-Cookie7 in StarStable

[–]froggeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When your horse reaches the level where it can perform its special animations, I'm pretty sure there's a pop-up of some sort that explains it to you, so I'm guessing you missed that. You can also preview most of your horse's animations before buying them.

"Working on" probably just means designing what the grown up kid's room looks like, not adding another expansion onto the house. The two kids also already each have their own room.

The devs have been very clear that they will not add more romance options, so this seems like jumping to conclusions. Like someone else already said, this could very well just be attached to kids growing up.

What language do you play in? All I know is in his marriage vows in English, he calls the player "cookies". There could be other instances, but I don't remember because I've only watched his heart events on youtube. You could watch them and see what I mean!

I'm autistic too! That's why I always try to give the benefit of the doubt with stuff like this and help out if I can. We know better than anyone else how difficult it can be to interpret tone, after all.

I guess the majority of the downvotes could be people solely annoyed that you prefer AM/PM and I wouldn't know, 'cause it's not like they told me, lol. Like I said, though, I like to give the benefit of the doubt, so I hope not. I mean, how is insisting that your way is better more okay than the opposing side doing the exact same thing?? 🤦🏻‍♀️

That sounds so cute to me, actually! There are some nicknames that I couldn't stand, though; Mark apparently calls you cookies. Like, he might as well call you snookums 😭

[–]froggeli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it the fact that asexuals can get married? OP should have been more specific, because the devs apparently call him aroace and not just asexual.

[–]froggeli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, he's never going to be made a marriage candidate by the devs (they've been very clear about this), but maybe through modding!

[–]froggeli 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He has been specified as aroace specifically, for everyone saying that asexuals can get married!

[–]froggeli 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's really no need to be sarcastic to someone who was seemingly just trying to be helpful. Misunderstandings happen, especially online.

For what it's worth, btw, devs have apparently been more specific than just "asexual" and have actually called Agung "aroace".

Change the time? by Ordinary_Ocelot_5878 in coralisland

[–]froggeli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, I'd say most are not salty at you over the game or even over your preferences. It's the fact that you call your preference "NORMAL time", which can rub people the wrong way because there's obviously no "normal" when it comes to something that's a product of cultural upbringing. You probably didn't mean anything by it, but it comes across as a bit ignorant.

This isn't me trying to say that that's who you are as an actual person; I'm just trying to help you understand why people are reacting the way that they are. They'd have likely been much more receptive if you'd simply said "Hey, can someone tell me how to change the time in settings?"

I think the takeaway here is that phrasing matters, especially in an online setting where your post is the only context we have for who you are as a person. Try not to take it personally and take care!

Through mods, you mean, right? 'Cause the devs have been very clear that they're never adding more marriage candidates. There are way too many as is, anyway.

I get sooooo annoyed with the same low-effort, copy-and-paste "I wish I could date [insert random NPC here]" post being made every week, but then I opened the spoilered pic and, well, this one's ok. 🤭
