An idea!

Okay, so i was out mowing the lawn today and I had a thought! Maybe it was just all the fumes of pollen and wild onions, but maybe this can work?

Everyone says that it is not possible to have multiple markings in one species, like 'mutations'. What if they werent mutations?

What if they were the same breed and all, but just multiple sorts of forms of it assigned to the same slot so you dont know which marking would occur?

When I first downloaded c1 to ds I haad a few slot problems, I know that it was with santa norns, and the various bodyparts would be either of one breed or the other!

This would work the same way, but this would be on purpose! :D What does everyone think? Would it be too much space or is it a good idea?

You could probably have multiple sets of sprites for the same body part in one sprite file, and have the genetics indicate which set was displayed for a given Norn. The file size would be humongous, but I do think it would be pretty neat.

I was thinking it would be humongous for a file size too, I was mostly just curious, and wonder if there is a way to make this possible.


My second investigation is clothing for creatures... xD

I know there's a Christmas hat download out there somewhere that Norns can wear. Maybe you could look into that.

If it makes your quest easier, it can be found in DementChild's Christmas room.

I have never been able to get the Christmas room to work, sadly. :< It always crashed my game.....

You would want to be able to look at the actual file anyway, not just how it appears in the game, if you were to try to figure out how it worked.
