Q&A
When will these be open?
Whenever they're done! MYO's for common Egredeer are likely to open as soon as I've written out rules. Other rarity tiers will follow as I finish enough traits for them, you can see how far I am in the main post.
Can I make my own?
Once they open, single-marking common Egredeer will be available for anyone to make, unlimited, for free. This means designs with one common main marking, able to be coloured in however you wish as long as it follows the provided palette, as well as one common white spotting mask and one set of black markings. White and black markings are optional.
Will I be allowed to make Egredeer adoptables?
Yes! You'll be allowed to make and sell adoptables with the provided base, as long as they follow all the species rules. If you pay the fees for a MYO ticket, you can also sell adoptables with rarer traits for a profit.
Can Egredeer be any colour?
Egredeer have limits on their colouration. The main body can have any pattern, but is always brown. As a rule of thumb, the main markings will fall into categories of Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Teal, Blue, Purple, and Pink, but can otherwise be coloured in however you like. If these take off, I might make events where you get to use an expanded palette.
More clear explanations will be provided once it is time to let people make their own.
Will there be line edits?
Edit: I've changed my mind somewhat on this, and have decided to allow people to make small line edits to their own Egredeer, within reason. This will be limited to things like subtly changing ear length, adding scars, making tail poofier or less poofy, etc. Premade adopts made by me and/or select individuals approved to be artists might have more bold line edits, for example different ears altogether. I want these to be pretty consistent, but you should still get to make them unique!
In the future, I would like to add antlers to the uncommon+ base. If Egredeer become very popular, I might add new types of ears, head crests, and possibly differences in tails, to the MYO base. However, this would mean a lot of editing the existing markings to fit, so it is not my first priority.
The basic body plan (long beak, hooves with spurs, long fluffy tail and long ears, etc.) will stay pretty much the same, for lore reasons, so don't expect anything too wild like wings or scales or whatnot.
How much will these cost?
Common, single-marking Egredeer will be free to make, and people can create and sell these for the own prices.
For the higher tiers: This may be subject to change, but I'm thinking something along these lines:
PREMADE ADOPTABLES: Depends on the complexity. Ones made by me will always have the MYO fee included in the price. Other users will have their own prices.
MYO TICKETS: uncommon: 20 C$, Unusual: 50 C$, Rare: 100 C$, Unique: 200 C$
If you just want to use one white marking OR one black marking from a higher rarity set, the price for that tier is halved. For example, an Egredeer otherwise using the 'uncommon' template can use a 'rare' black marking for a total price of 70 C$.
Double markings: an additional 10 C$ (no matter the rarity of the markings). This allows you to use one more of each marking type (main, white, and black). Max cap is 3 markings. You don't have to use all three for all marking types. For example, you can have 2 main markings, 3 black markings, and no white markings, all for an additional 20 C$. Instructions for layering markings will follow.
Each main marking follows its own colour palette. That means that an Egredeer with double markings can have an orange-hue blanket with green-hue spots on top, for example.
Each white marking follows its own colour palette. That means you can pick different hues for each white marking.
All black markings must be the same hue.
I'm also considering a MYO free pass, where you pay to be able to make as many MYOs with a certain rarity traits as you want! This will cost between 5-10x the price of a single MYO. And yes, you will absolutely be allowed to use this to sell cheaper rare-trait Egredeer to the masses, if you so desire.
Will you only be taking C$?
Nope! I'll use C$ prices for ease of communication, but I plan to let people pay in both pets and items as well.
Will there be breeding?
I really want there to be breeding, but it would be quite the big undertaking, so it really depends on how much traction these get! If a lot of people are interested in breeding their Egredeer, I will definitely consider implementing it.
If breeding happens, I plan for it to be able to result in brand new marking variations.
