      <description><![CDATA[I have noticed a rash of these popping up. Please remember our forum posting rules. <br /><br />"Please only advertise stallions (or any breedings) that are available (as in old enough to breed) in the current breeding year. Once the breeding year has ended (after the 27th of the month) you can advertise horses for the next game year."<br /><br /><a href="https://mesa.huntandjump.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/1529/the-formerly-unwritten-rules-for-forum-posting#Item_1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://mesa.huntandjump.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/1529/the-formerly-unwritten-rules-for-forum-posting#Item_1</a><br /><br />Posting out of season makes the board more confusing and harder to read. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<b>Spirits of flame let loose to consume our mortal realm. Forever hungry, nothing can satiate their desire to burn it all. </b><br /><br />The Infernal Breed Characteristic is now available to unlock! (Under the Manage My Breeds page.)<br /><br />This BC is currently for medium-boned horses only however that will be changing very soon as the plan is to allow this to be used on any bone size. I just have not had a chance to implement that yet. It's been a hard week around here and we are exhausted. Expect it to be for all sizes next week. <br /><br />Something important to know. This is our first <span style="text-decoration: underline;">fantasy </span>BC. If you add this to your horses they will have all the same fantasy restrictions as fantasy genes. <br /><br />The infernal also comes automatically equipped with the Halloween: Infernal Inferno background by default. Like other BCs, you can change this background if you want. You can also find this background in the "This is Halloween" tack pack if you would like to access this background without using the BC.<br /><br />The infernal won't be available forever. How long? Until I get around to making the programming logic to make limited-edition BCs. You will have at least until the end of October. Past that, I make no promises. <br /><br /><i>**Please note that Infernal BC horses have an extreme position warp and WILL result in odd stray markings on older texture maps. Please fully regenerate (not refresh!) if you see odd markings.**<br /></i><br />Adult examples<br /><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/kinetocore-dev/horses/3841694/3841694.jpg?=1697201980914" alt="image" /><br /><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/kinetocore-dev/horses/3841591/3841591.jpg?=1697201968291" alt="image" /><br /><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/kinetocore-dev/horses/3841156/3841156.jpg?=1697202302902" alt="image" /><br /><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/kinetocore-dev/horses/3841152/3841152.jpg?=1697202313002" alt="image" /><br /><br />Foal examples<br /><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/kinetocore-dev/horses/3841354/3841354.jpg?=1697201986566" alt="image" /><br /><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/kinetocore-dev/horses/3842024/3842024.jpg?=5727" alt="image" /><br /><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/kinetocore-dev/horses/3841997/3841997.jpg?=1697202175180" alt="image" /><br /><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/kinetocore-dev/horses/3841183/3841183.jpg?=1697202181230" alt="image" /><br /><br /><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/kinetocore-dev/horses/3811170/3811170.jpg?=5833" alt="image" /><br />The infernal BC works amazing with the thunderstruck gene making a phantasmal glow. Because it compliments this so well I have added Thunderstruck to the sales list for both the RGS AND the GMT lab for the rest of the month. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Game news</b><br />In some other game news, I have been doing a bunch of updates on horse generation getting things running more seamlessly with the new BCs. There is a lot of ground to cover so it is taking a while but I am making progress. <br /><br />Haystack is still working on the new Payment system. He has gotten tons done on it but we are having to build EVERYTHING from scratch. It's a blessing because it will work so much more seamlessly and be a much nicer experience for you but it is tedious as all get out. <br /><br />The next BC jenx and I are going to work on is the Akhal Teke. Traditional Cob was next on the list but frankly, I am not inspired by any of the cob references we have, and I don't want to do this one until we can do it right. I have better AT shots so they are moving up in the order. <br />]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[It's been a bit nuts over here. Last week we took a break to do some time-critical updates on our US home to get it ready to be rented next year. We were supposed to have electricians working on the whole first floor but they are having parts issues and still haven't done anything. There was a 4 day weekend with the kid and I had one of the worst health flair-ups I have had in a very long time. Was stuck in bed for several days there, so things are a bit out of wack and behind. Getting back into the swing of it now. <br /><br /><b>BC Updates</b><br />-I will be working on getting the PRE ready to go next week. And Jenx is starting work on the Halloween horse art. <br />-Thank you for sharing feedback with us about what you want for the Akhal Teke. We settled on a look that was more true to the sport horse type favored in the home country of the breed while still retaining some strong traits that make the breed stand out. It was very clear from the feedback that our community is very split on what style of Akhal Teke they want so hopefully a middle-ground appearance will be serviceable for most players. <br />-I will not be requesting image references for an adult Akhal Teke as I am actually already all set. I might ask for help with the foal but I am not sure yet. <br /><br /><b>Other News</b><br />-Haystack has been plinking away steadily at payment system updates so he is making progress even if I was under the weather. <br />-My inbox is kind of a wild mess at the moment. I am doing a few fixes for members and will hopefully start breeding lab updates stuff soon but I also have quite a log jam that has built up and it is being a beast to untangle. I am not exactly sure what will be getting done in what order.<br /><br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>OCT 11th DOWNTIME! </b></span><br />On October 11th our server company is going to be physically unplugging our server, taking it out of its rack, and moving it to a new location. When that happens we will go dark for about 30 minutes, but it could be as much as a few hours. This could happen at literally any time on the 11th. There should be no issues, but just a heads up about it. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Like the quarter horse, the breed comes in a wide range of styles. I am guessing those who voted for the Akhal Teke are interested in the extremely light-boned versions but I want to be sure of that. The breed ranges from super light to a more warmblood/tb look. (Also I don't know the proper names for these looks, please share if you do!)<br /><br /><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Type A</span></b><br /><img src="https://www.youngrider.com/wp-content/uploads/2-akhal-teke-shutterstock-600x400.jpg" alt="image" /><br /><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7e/fd/2b/7efd2bc0c7d9bafd93979514ba470407.jpg" alt="image" /><br /><br /><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Type B</span></b><br /><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/736x/cc/73/7e/cc737ea6014b21b911a9047f1e05f5dd--akhal-teke-horse-photos.jpg" alt="image" /><br /><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7c/5e/5b/7c5e5bffd7335370083f86218ee4e2c1.jpg" alt="image" /><br /><br /><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Type C</span></b><br /><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/31/f6/0a/31f60a5fb56495b1f6a327192b19c475.jpg" alt="image" /><br /><img src="https://www.horsebreedspictures.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Akhal-Teke-Photos.jpg" alt="image" /><br /><br /><b>So please respond below with which of the types pictured above you are most interested in seeing and also why or what makes it attractive to you. It will help us a ton to figure out what you actually want to see in the game.</b><br /><br />ETA: **Please just give feedback on the style and weight of the horse not the specific confirmation as that isn't relevant. Think of it like picking between a halter quarter horse, a foundation quarter horse, and a reining quarter horse. The specific horse is not the question but the type of horse is what maters here.]]></description>

      <title>State of the Game Update</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi folks, just wanted to give everyone a general update about what is going on behind the scenes right now. <br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b> Who works on what normally?</b></span><br />First for some context here is what each of us do on the game. <br />-I do all the member-facing interactions, advertising, interface coding, and database updates, and am the executive officer. I make sure everyone's workload is doled out, help with planning all our updates, and make sure member feedback is listened to and figure out how to use it to improve the game. I tend to take care of the constant stream of small issues that need taken care of. <br />-Haystack does the business paperwork, is a sysadmin who makes sure our servers are running correctly, and does the deep project work. That means most large long-term projects are handled by Haystack,<br />- Jenx is our full-time artist. He is making new breed art and is slowly overhauling all of our tack assets in the back. He also makes art for special events. <br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>Who's working on what right now?</b></span><br />-I have some bugs with BCs I am working on and am in the early stages of building the new breeding lab. (Small fires keep popping up that I have to deal with.) I am also doing a fair number of invisible to-members updates to improve admin functions in the game. <br />-Haystack is building the updated shopping cart system, and making it so we can take far more payment options.<br />-Jenx has finished up the PRE art (I think it's his best one yet!) and will be starting the special Halloween horse next.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>Work shut down this week</b></span><br />As much as we want to keep working on these next projects we are having to take some time off this week. We are moving to Europe next spring and have a bunch of fixes around the house that must be done before then. Also, we are having electrical work done on the entire upstairs of the house this week which is going to cause significant work disruptions anyway so we are trying to fit it all into this week. <br /><br /><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What's the ETA?</span></b><br /><br /><b>New shopping cart check out: </b> From the sounds of it Haystack doesn't have too many work days left on this. The work delay means this will get pushed back a bit though. Early October probably for this one. <br /><br /><b>Subscription Price Changes:</b> Don't forget our sub prices are going up! Also early October for this one. (got a bit delayed with urgent house maintenance)<br /><br /><b>New breeding lab:</b> A bit early to tell on this one. Haystack and I need to do some server updates to get this working and it's a very new type of project for me. I would guess we have about a month on this, but I like to put updates out in parts, a few updates have even gone out already, so you should hopefully start seeing bits sooner rather than later. Expect this in October. <br /><br /><b>Image Gen Updates:</b> I have been keeping a list of all the little image gen oddities I need to fix for the new BCs (and boy is it getting long) I will probably work on these and breeding lab updates around the same time period. Those bad white leg markings are my highest priority. Expect the fixes to start coming soon but they will be doled out a few at a time between other work. It's a two-person job to get these out which has slowed down the work on it. <br /><br /><b>Breed Characteristics:</b> The art for PREs is done, though the finalization still needs doing. We expect this to be out right at the beginning of October with the Halloween special horse coming out later in the month. Work on the Irish Cob will also be starting next month. After that, I will sit down and plan with Jenx what else we want to try and get done for the rest of the year.<br /><br /><b>Tack Editor Updates:</b> We want rotating of tack items for you, and a proper layering system and we want it <span style="text-decoration: underline;">bad</span>. Also getting rid of the old editor system which only causes problems. Haystack will be back at this project as soon as shopping cart updates are done. I have no good ETA for you on this because we need to do some major planning on it first. I am hoping to see lots of nice updates to this over the winter. <br /><br /><b>Advertising</b> We stopped advertising for a bit there to help us ride out the economic downturn. We are starting to wind it up again. Right now we are directing new traffic towards Forest server. So if you see an uptick there that is why.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thanks for being one of our amazing members. We appreciate you and wish you all the hugs and carrots!<br />]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I noticed when we took feedback on the draft art for the PRE the excitement just wasn't there despite this being a highly requested breed. So we did some edits to try and hopefully get something more like what people want. Please let us know if the second version is more of the type of horse you had in mind. <br /><br /><i>Please note we are no longer looking for feedback on the details. I want to know what kind of horse you want overall, not fiddly details about joins and angles. Thanks so much. |</i><br /><br />First version<br /><img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/775355365981552640/1150790954501029938/PRE-ADULT-Just-Lines.png" width="500" alt="image" /><br /><br />New Version<br /><img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/775355365981552640/1151162918818283621/PRE-ADULT.png" width="500" alt="image" /><br />We increased the neck, chest, and shoulder size, plus gave a more more of a convex profile. And of course more mane drama. <br /><br />Please let us know if this is more what you had in mind. ]]></description>

Just like the other new BCs there is going to be some oddness with markings for a bit. We are working like mad to get the new checkout experience up and as soon as that is live I can focus on some generator updates for those off markings. Really appreciate your patience on that as the checkout is time-critical.<br /><br />Just like before you can unlock these for 5 BCs via the "Manage My Breeds" section. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I am running a quick contest to write the descriptions for the new breed characteristics. For each one, I need a roughly 250-character-long blurb about the real-life breed (about 3 sentences). It must be between 200 and 300 characters long. This is strictly enforced and I will toss out anything less than 200 or more than 300 characters. <br /><br />Please use a Character Counter to confirm your length before posting. <br /><a href="https://wordcounter.net/character-count" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://wordcounter.net/character-count</a><br /><br /><b>I need a blurb about the Polish Arabian, the Traditional Cob, and the Pura Raza Española (Andalusian). </b><br /><br />-To enter simply post your blurb below. You can write for one or multiple of the breeds. You can enter as many times per breed as you want. <br />-I will only be picking one winner per breed across all three servers. (3 winners total) Winners will be picked Thursday morning and will receive 5 BC tokens to unlock a new breed characteristic of their choice. Here are some prior examples to help you understand what I am looking for. <br /><br /><blockquote><div>"The Saddlebred has a well-proportioned and muscular body with a deep chest, strong shoulders, a long, arched neck, and refined straight or slightly concave profile. Their short back leads to a level croup with high set tail, and long and sloping pasterns give them an animated stride."<br /><br />"A beautiful combination of refinement and power, the modern Friesian is an ideal sport horse with warmblood-like movement. They have long legs and a high, noble head carriage with a calm and expressive eye. Their thick, wavy mane and tail and feathered pasterns add to their majestic bearing."<br /><br />"The Suffolk Punch has a powerful, arching neck; well-muscled, sloping shoulders; a short, wide back; and a muscular, broad croup. Legs are short and strong, with broad joints; sound, well-formed hooves; and minimal feathering on the fetlocks. They tend to be shorter but more massively built."<br /></div></blockquote><br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing your creativity and breed knowledge with me. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[What makes a good reference photo? Images should have:<br /><br />-Bright, clear lighting, without overly dark shadows<br />-Be side-on shots with the photo taken square to the shoulder, like the current images in the game.<br />-Be good examples of the breed type.<br />-Show as much of the horse as possible, tall grass hides a lot of leg details.<br />-Bonus if we can clearly see at least some of each leg.<br />-Limited, or ideally no tack at all.<br /><br /><br />-In addition to the nice square on body shots if you have an image of a body part (like a head, mane, tail etc.) that you think is particularly nice feel free to share it, including the reason you are sharing, but we need square full body shots more than anything. <b>The body part in question should be clearly labeled and must STILL be square to the camera. We can't use the images otherwise. <br /></b><br />We need adult horses AND foal images.<br /><br /><b>Please don't share images of "pretty horses" that do not fit what is outlined above. It bogs things down and makes it harder on us. </b><br /><br />______<br /><br />We ALSO need a discussion about the name of this breed. <br /><br />"Gypsy Vanner" is a US-specific term for cobs bred in the UK by the Travelers/Gypsy/Romani people. It is very important to note that "Gypsy" is considered a very offensive racist term any many parts of the world, but nomadic people are not a monolith and different cultures of nomadic people call themselves different things. The ones I have met in the US call themselves Romani. In Bulgaria, the posters for their festivals use the word Romanai in English but they mostly go by Tsiganin in Bulgarian. As I understand in the UK Gypsy is often the preferred word.  The Traveler people have their own cultural identity and heritage that is completely unique from the Roma people, and they are not interchangeable groups despite sharing horse genetics. <br /><br />I am not here to shame anyone for saying "gypsy" but we are also not going to use that word in the game out of respect for my personal friends in the US and Bulgaria who are Romani. <br /><br />Up to now, I have been using the word Vanner as it is easily identifiable what breed I am speaking about. I am however very open to calling them something else. I have seen Irish Cob and Galineers Cob suggested. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[First round you suggested breeds you might like to see added next. Then you voted on that list to filter down the possible options. In this last round, we will be deciding the order for the rest of the year. Keep in mind the Arabian and the Infernal Halloween horses are already in the works. Only two or at most 3 of these will make the cut. <br /><br />A few notes. I dropped the Lusitano. There is clear and steady preference for the Andalusian from the membership and they are close enough in appearance that it does not make sense to add both at this time. I also labeled each breed with what bone weight they would fall into.  Also, this is planning for the rest of 2023, so don't expect these to all show up in a hurry. <br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="/rankedvoting.php">Click here to vote</a><br /><br />Please <b>don't</b> vote for certain breeds because someone asked you. Vote for the one you would rather purchase for your account. Please don't try and skew the results by voting on more accounts than you plan to buy the BCs for. Thanks all. This has been so helpful. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[What makes a good reference photo? Images should have:<br /><br />-Bright, clear lighting, without overly dark shadows<br />-Be side-on shots with the photo taken square to the shoulder, like the current images in the game.<br />-Be good examples of the breed type.<br />-Show as much of the horse as possible, tall grass hides a lot of leg details.<br />-Bonus if we can clearly see at least some of each leg.<br />-Limited, or ideally no tack at all.<br /><b>-PLEASE DO NOT POST LUSITANOS!</b><br /><br />-In addition to the nice square on body shots if you have an image of a body part (like a head, mane, tail etc.) that you think is particularly nice feel free to share it, including the reason you are sharing, but we need square full body shots more than anything. <b>The body part in question should be clearly labeled and must STILL be square to the camera. We can't use the images otherwise. <br /></b><br />We need adult horses AND foal images.<br /><br /><b>Please don't share images of "pretty horses" that do not fit what is outlined above. It bogs things down and makes it harder on us. </b>]]></description>
