Hi all,

About five minutes ago, I rolled out changes to live food to all instances. What does this mean for you? Delicious death, of course.

Here's what's changed:
*Any old "live food" items will still work, but will not give the cool messaging anymore.
*Live food will no longer "die and rot." This means you can take lunch with you.
*Birds and various forms of reptiles are now possible for us to make edible and are available in the Grove (past cougars.)
*Empaths will get a warning each time they attempt to EAT or kill a live food item. This also gives a 3 second roundtime to help save you from shock.
*Prydaen Empaths can now enjoy the vicious, animal-destroying messaging associated with live food.
*Non Prydaen will find themselves with a mouthful of blood when eating live food.
*No more ridiculous purring while eating living creatures, just death and death and death.

What's still the same?
*Prydaen are disgusting and vicious eaters. (Yay.)
*Live food runs away if you drop it. Duh.
*Empaths can still get shock from killing live food or eating it.
*The verb to kill live food is still the same. Ask someone that is not me to learn what it is.

Enjoy!

What's the verb to bop Prydeans on the nose with live food to encourage them to eat it.

Or is that just a S'kra snakey food thing.

(Cool update!)



Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

I hate you for how much I just laughed.

Would it be possible for the brawling flag to disregard the shock warning and RT?



Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Didn't consider that.. but since it could end up with someone accidentally giving themselves shock, likely not. Think of it as an enforced chewing period for your Prydaen Empath. :(

Does this count if it's dead?

Zenrya digs into the songbird's flesh, going after tender portions of meat under the feathers while avoiding its thrashing beak and feet.
Zenrya pops the remaining pieces of the red-chested songbird into her mouth, clearly savoring the meal. Afterward, she plucks a few stray feathers from her mouth.

You sink your fangs into a dead red-chested songbird and bolt down a bite.

Yes and no. The animal-destroying bits happen when it's alive, but Prydaen empaths can now also get a "you sink your fangs in..." rather than the old messaging of "Ick -- revolting!"
