The Pallet Swap System
The first set of pallet swaps are all blocked out and currently being added to the game. This is the plan for their colors, and how those colors pass along between generations. We also have some extra ones that'll find their way in through other methods, if rather rarely.
Basically though, each column shows what a parent of a monster will be able to pass on in coloration to a child of a different species! Chimera is a weird one, because technically they're super mutable, but of all the monster species, they are the ones who are the most able to absorb magic (besides dragons), because they are drawn from multiple species and can absorb a lot of different magical wavelengths. This tends to mean that their children are super-saturated with magic in a way that doesn't lead to feralness, but does tint them the color of manacrystals throughout their bodies, leading to a distinct purple hue. What about the purple hue in a chimera? That is something you'll have to find out in game.

Id love to see this as a rarity system in the future, the more vibrant variants being rarer
Great idea, would be nice to see those implemented at some point, tho definitly not a fan of the wolf ver, the fact their whole body is colored especialy in "exotic" colors like red or cyan is feeling quite wierd but if those aren't definitive versions, I'm sure peoples would likely give their feedback on how to improve the way the color scheme applies ;)
I like this very good idea, monster have difference colors please do it i like it
Will these colors appear during breeding, or is it just while they are standing in the barn?
Tell me, can I buy your sets of images somewhere?
How do you mean?
Suggestion for Pink/Blue/Teal/Yellow... perhaps those come from breeding two differently-colored monsters of the same species? This would mean most (genderswaps) would be needed, such as a Red Male Cat and a White Female Cat making a Pink Cat offspring (male or female)For Teal you mix Turquoise or Cyan with Green, for Blue (despite yes, I know, it's a Primary Color, like Yellow) you breed Cyan to Turquoise, and for Yellow you breed Orange to Blonde. Dunno if you guys had any plans for what to do or if you'd even implement, but hey, no harm in suggesting! Or even if you wanna go a more potion-y route, you just make four of em to make the missing colors (Pink, Blue, Teal, Yellow) and apply them to an egg when you put it in the incubator.
We'll consider it.
This is really cool. Amazing work you guys :D
Love it! Very vivid and expressive, plus more variety is always nice!
Aaaah, I'm so excited! Will this be in the next build?
we're working hard to get as many of these into the next build as possible yes!
Read it was confused what pallet swamp could be... Felt dumb after all the weeks of this being tauted. Wasn't excited before... Now think this is so fkn hot! Adding the diversity to the breedables is genius. Well done and thank you!
