I want to be excited but honestly the new layout is really hard to use. I don't even want to look at my dragons now. All the hover-over elements blinking in and out is really overwhelming. I hate that they cover stuff. Before, when you hovered over (for example) the apparel, the tooltip popup only covered more layout, not 50% of my dragon. I have nowhere to rest my eyes.
I really like the scenes and how they're subtly behind the dragon but the whole UI is really really bad, I'm sorry :/
Anyway, Happy anniversary! Thanks for all your hard work on the Scenes. Even if the UI is bad in my opinion, the Scenes are gorgeous and I can tell a lot of work went into the whole update.

Honestly, the only unfortunate thing about this whole thing is the fact that we can't work around to put the same familiar onto several dragons at the same time. My agricultural Den dragons will most likely all have crab familiars for the rest of eternity, I don't want to remove them now that I wouldn't be able to put them back haha [emoji=ridgeback tongue size=1]

it would be nice if we could horizontally flip either the dragon or the familiar in the display so they look the same direction or at each other. because it sometimes look silly when they look opposite directions, especially in some poses like leaping female mirrors. dragon go this way, familiar go the other way. wuold be nice addition

this is a really cool update!!

This is actually a nice update! Lots of little things to get into and I remember I used to name familiars since back when this site began.
The scenes are a nice touch also though this does make me wonder whether custom scenes might be an option in the future? Similar to how skins/accents work with blueprints etc.
I will say though the the back/forward buttons on the dragon profiles are perhaps a tad big?

I really like the new features, like the scenes (though some have the dragons and familiars kinda 'floating'/not centered well), and the ability to name familiars. Thanks for the hard work!
My biggest issue is the new layout though. Honestly, I don't really want to look at my dragons now. The elements everywhere are getting really overwhelming and there is litteraly nowhere to rest/focus the eyes. This was the first time I actually got a headache just by looking at a page online!
Please, I'd love to see more focus on our dragons. It feels like they drown in all the info, buttons, ... around them!
For the time being I'll probably be stepping away from Flight Rising for a bit.

I adore this update with all my heart, but I do have a small nitpick.
As much as I love scenes, it really urks me how the background doesn't line up with the dragons pose/positioning.

For example, this lad here...
Why is he half standing on the ice, half standing on the water? I feel like it'd make a lot more sense for that background ice to be pushed upwards/back a little bit, so that the dragon is standing COMPLETELY on the water, and the ice is to the dragons side?
I've noticed this with several of the bgs sofar...
Again, just a mild critique, as I adore the scenes as a whole, I just wish possibly a little more thought was put into the scenes and where the dragons would be standing...
