Warning; as of right now I am in the middle of adding an update so glitches and bugs are likely to pop up, and for short periods of time it might be unplayable, I'll remove this warning when it is done and the game is normal again You start off by picking your pair -The new pigeon button randomizes the bird shown and can be used until you click the "Choose female/male" -Clicking the "choose female/male" button sets the shown bird as the male or female respectively Once you have picked your pair: -The Male/female button will cycle you between your chosen pair -The breed button will pair the birds together and create a child, which can be seen by cycling the male/female button until you reach Squab -You can breed your pair as often as you like, but you have to cycle through the squab view again each time to see the new result -Click the family tree button to view your pigeon family together If you want a new pair of starter birds to breed then just restart the game and pick new ones Tips/things to know -Not all of the child's colors will directly take after the parents, it could be a mix of both or sometimes a total surprise -Clicking on the background cycles between different ones -The child will only have a visible marking if both parents have it -Once you've bred a a pigeon you like, click "Breed Squab" to set it as your new male pigeon, pick a new female and repeat
Disclaimer: this game is not based on real pigeon genetics at all, it is merely for fun. While many colors and patterns are inspired by real birds, the breeding system and several colors/markings are complete fantasy Art Credits: All art including backdrops and the pigeon itself are by Karatefinch Remixing etiquette: I love seeing remixes, but I would ask that you include the art credit to me in the notes section Future Plans, not in order of priority (feel free to suggest new ideas in the comments) - More colors and patterns - Refined breeding system - Growths such as crests - Thumbnail - Background music - Ways to view recessive genes - More accurate coding of recessive genes - Ability to customize your starter pigeons rather than randomize them -fix glitches Update Log 11/9/20: Very rough work in progress was released 11/20/20: More colors added 12/1/20: Added several backgrounds + ability to switch between them 12/4/20: Added the family tree, heavily refined the breeding functions of markings, added saddle wing markings, replaced splash markings with grizzle and face marks 12/6/20: added infinite breeding so you can breed the squab of every pair onwards Known glitches (if you run into these, either ignore them or restart the game) -The family tree button sometimes breaks the game after you try and breed the squab to a new female -Family tree occasionally shows markings or body parts floating separate from the bird -Clicking "breed squab" while viewing the family tree will break the game
