| Paradigms - THEY ARE HERE! | |
| Posted by JT_ on Apr 01, 2011 10:58 pm | |
| EDIT: WUSHI CABBAGES ARE NOW IN THE TE ITEMS SHOP! WOO :D The moment you've been waiting for! Paradigms are officially live on P3. :) This is not an April Fool's joke, I swear! I have been hard at work trying to get this to you guys before Wushi Cabbages went on sale since I know everyone is excited. To give you a brief overview: Paradigms can be used in place of colors on Puma Markings and Evolutions. Instead of choosing the color green, for example, you could decide to choose a Rainbow Paradigm and your Marking will show up as Rainbow! It opens up TONS of possibilities for fun Custom Pumas, breeding, dressing your Pumas, etc! The info below gets into more details, so I do recommend reading it if you are curious about Paradigms. :) Paradigms are available for use in the following: • Custom Creation in the Orb Cavern - Paradigms can be chosen in place of hex colors on Markings and Evolutions. • Breeding! (more info on this below) • Transformation - If your Puma has a Paradigm before being Transformed, it will still have that Paradigm when they become their new breed. Also, with Wushi Transformation, you can choose a Paradigm for your Mane color. • Play with Paradigms in the Puma Demo (the removal bug has been fixed!) • Splatter Tool - Add a marking as Paradigm, change a current marking to Paradigm BREEDING WITH PARADIGMS - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW You are probably wondering how breeding works. Paradigms add another layer of complexity to breeding, but one you will find to be exciting. :) You won't have to do anything differently-- you will still breed Pumas in the same way as before, and still request the same way. All Pumas can still breed with each other, there is no limitations to Paradigms. If you have a Puma with a Paradigm, you can breed it to any other Puma with or without Paradigms. Normally, every Marking on a Puma is a solid color, with some strength (it could be 100%, or maybe only 30% and quite light). Paradigms add another aspect to this-- if you breed a Puma with a Paradigm, you can end up with special Paradigm Mixes! :D The possibilities are: 1). Full Paradigm (a solid Paradigm, like our current solid colors) 2). Paradigm/Paradigm (2 different Paradigms mixed) 3). Paradigm/Color (one Paradigm and one color mixed) 4). Full Color (this is the same as all Pumas right now-- just a hex color) What are the chances of getting a mix, though? Well, when you breed with Paradigms, you have the option of getting Mom's, Dad's, or a mix of Mom and Dad in one Marking/Evolution. :) This leaves room for TONS of possibility-- some combos have up to *6* different outcomes! ::wipes brow:: phew! Paradigm Mixes are VERY special, and can only be created through Breeding. If you are using the Splatter Tool, you CANNOT create a Paradigm Mix. If you use the Splatter Tool on a Paradigm Mix, you will lose the mix. Splatter always adds a 100% solid Marking, no mixing allowed! I really hope this helps explain a bit! If you're curious about Paradigms, go to the Puma Demo and play with them. :) All currently active Paradigms are available for custom creation. Please ask any questions you might have! If we have a bunch, I can probably start a topic on the forums as well. :) Thanks very much for your patience! I think you will find that it was worth the wait. :) Happy Moondance Festival! (Note: I have tested this extensively, but there is always a chance we may find bugs! If you do find a bug, please don't panic. :) Head over to the Bugs forum and we'll get it all fixed up!)

| Do you have some examples, or is there a way for us to see how paradigm mixes or color/paradigm mixes will look? before actually making and breeding some? example: you want to make a custom pair and same way you can test color mixes for the two parents, you want to test paradigm mixes for the two parents. |

| Camogurl: At this time, there is no way to test. BUT, I can make some examples on my development server and post them tomorrow so you can see. Do you have some specific combo requests? |
