Fun fact: The nature ancient is going to launch with 85 genes (3x basic included), making it our largest gene slate for an ancient at launch!
I am currently going through our directories of released genes for each ancient to see where we're at with currently released genes so we can plan gene expansions by breed. Note that these lists do include primary, secondary, and tertiary basic as part of the gene count ;-)
In addition, we're now porting some of the ancient exclusive line-breakers between ancients and keeping track of that number. The number of ancient-exclusive line breaking tertiaries is in parenthesis. Firefly, scales, sparkle, spines, keel, glowtail, and gembond are not ancient-exclusive, so are not a part of this count.
Undertide is slated to be the next breed to have a gene expansion. The gene expansion currently has 30 additional Undertide gene parallels, with 5 of them being ancient-exclusive line-breaking terts! The artists are still working on a few more Undertide genes for the release, so we're very excited to see what the final count will be and how robust Undertide's gene slate will become!
