Flight Rising Discussion

[b]Please note: We do not answer questions requesting ETAs or suggestions.[/b] [quote]Where did the original idea to create Flight Rising come from? Was it just an idea that came up, or is there a backstory?[/quote] Most of the idea sprang forth from inspiration around the How-To-Draw-Dragon books that @Undel (aka 'neondragon') had spent many years creating. The idea of dragons in general was cool to begin with, and it wasn't hard for the others to get on board! She asked @akiri to see if he could program a mix-and-match color generator. The rest is history, but [i]Flight Rising[/i] owes a lot of its creation to a love art, books, and games. [br][br] [quote]If a Tundra were to be breed changed to a Snapper, would it still have a bad memory? Or vice versa?[/quote] The process of changing to a different breed does change the physiological makeup of a dragon, but not its character/sense of self. So yes, a tundra's brain and neural pathways would go through quite a bit of improvement while changing to a Snapper! [br][br] [quote]In the new color wheel, will the 'flip of colors', or centerpoints change drastically? Are we expecting to see dragons who have been matched for full range suddenly get the opposite range possible because of the new additions?[/quote] An offspring's possible colors will always use the shortest distance between the two parents colors. With 177 colors on the wheel, any distance of [b]88 or lower[/b] is the shortest distance. You can visit the color wheel expansion thread to see a finalized color order. [br][br] [quote]How do you think multi-species lairs work? If a towering Ridgeback digs a tunnel it might be a bit small for an Imperial and would be absolutely massive for an itty-bitty Fae, do dragons just make their own homes or do they just deal with whoever dug the lair? [/quote] Lair creation is a group effort, and often evolves over time to accommodate all members. Sometimes there are great, sweeping communal areas that can house even the clan's largest members, but it's common for similar species to carve out their own 'wings' that only they can fit into or visit. It all depends! [br][br] [quote]What happens if the deities run out of energy?[/quote] @Akiri feeds them! [br][br] [quote]Did Tidelord not try to warn the others about Spacedad and the imminent destruction of the Pillar? Surely he would have foreseen it and maybe it could have been avoided or at least delayed with contingencies set in... unless he didn't see that one coming.[/quote] While the Tidelord does have an amazing prescient ability to see future events, he sees possibilities, not certainties. He is also not infallible. In the time before the Pillar of the World was created, the events of the Arcanist could have been too far in the future or far too muddy to be used as a warning sign.
