Now, I didn't think I was a monster/furry girl kind of guy but this game has filled a hole in my soul that I didn't know existed. I've tried searching the thread but couldn't find answers to some questions:
- What do you do with the breeding request table? I click 'Fulfill' but it only opens a window with my Breeder's stats and nothing to interact with.
- How/where do you even view your Nephelym's traits and stats?
-> Have I missed an NPC, a spot, or a button?

- Are all colours shown in the

available in game? I feel like I'm missing some like pink Oni hybrid, but can't seem to be getting one. I feel like I've also never seen all the colour variants of certain Nephelym show up.

To be honest I've never used the breeder board but if you press fulfill it should give you a list of eligible nephelym to complete the request with, if none meet the requirements then it should be blank. If you go over to the glowing spot at the fenced area near your house and activate it you can see the stats/traits of any selected nephelym by clicking the small arrow at the top of the screen on the left or the right depending on which side you selected that particular nephelym from, this is also where you do all the breeding. I want to say the wiki is using all the in-game default colors but I cannot say for certain as the developer has removed a few over time. If you want more variations go hit up the "preset submissions" section over at the discord and follow the instructions there on where to place them, by default many races don't have many colors at all.

IIRC it's a directX file, try updating your directX and also installing directX 9.0c in case the later versions of directX don't have the correct files.

Yes,it's,and I have tried this way,but not worked.
I tried to reregister dxgi.dll,failed, couldn't find the DllRegisterServer.
I tried to examine my OS,and found 1000+ errors.
I tried to reload the OS,still not worked.
But I just tried to download another version,worked.
Maybe this is the life.

To get to the dungeon slime (green), you need to find the lever that is currently on the town wall (the lever is above the gate - the town's entrance - the main gate)

IMHO, the reason Breeding Season imploded was that a bunch of greedy narcissists got together and decided that they'd all be equal partners and get equal shares, which of course failed because being greedy narcissists everyone considered themselves to be the MVP and deserve a bigger slice than everyone else. Goes with the territory.

The solution to that, however, is not to have one guy isolate himself on some island and work alone forever. The solution is to

1) Start a legit company and place himself at the head of it. This is a lot cheaper and easier than most people think, especially for a "game studio" because you don't need any physical workspace to put it in. It only need to exist on paper, which is good enough for the government.

2) Hire staff as needed. Not partners, not shareholders, not friends and/or family. Employees that work for the developer doing specific tasks, getting paid a predetermined amount for their work (it's called a CONTRACT - figure it out), no more, no less. Need animations? Hire an animator. Explain exactly what you want done, negotiate a price and timetable and put it all in writing. If they don't measure up, replace them with someone who does.

3) Enjoy the freedom of getting more shit done and not having to deal drama bullshit because if people get annoying you can just fire them and get new ones.

The problem with Breeding Season is that they ran it like a fucking pirate ship, with voting and shares and trying to get everyone's input and letting all these different people just "do their own thing at their own pace." And because it was all done in shares when money started vanishing (as it always does) everyone got pissy about it - and rightly so, because that was their money too, to one degree or another.

I say fuck that noise! Start an actual business, hire actual staff, reward results and punish failures because you're the fucking boss and your pay is whatever is in the contract. You can just snort the rest up your nose for all the difference it makes to your underlings paycheck.

No drama, no bullshit, just results. It can be done... provided you aren't just slacking off and making play forts out of stacks of money all day.

This ^^ This is the kind of comment I can FEEL.. This I feel would make it work better.. "The Who not the How" Get someone who can do the things you aren't good at so you can focus on the things you ARE good at.

I'd say "how" is a very big component of what happened to Breeding Season. An artist was brought into the project with a contract that gave him the ability to rescind the project's right to use his artwork. He made use of that clause, and the project folded as a result. Who the artist was and why it was done are less than relevant compared to that. It was a bad contract, for the same reason partnerships are an inherently unstable type of company.

That said, I do agree that making use of said clause was a major dick move. I also think making your own variation of the project you killed is a dick move. The story involves a lot of finger pointing and 'he said', so I don't presume to know either side's actual reasoning.
