Distinguisher for male vs female wolves

Distinguisher for male vs female wolves

Apologies if this has been posted before! I scanned and I believe that this is unique enough.

I'm a Lioden transplant, I've been playing browser pet sim games since 2015 and there's exactly 1 thing that makes this game a little more difficult for me since it breaks the "norm" of breeding sims.

Males and females having the same exact pose is a little jarring!
Now, I did see that suggestions for poses aren't allowed, and I don't necessarily want that extra work on devs.

It makes it a little harder on first glance on things like trades or other users wolves to tell right off the bat, and there's a lot of information on a wolf's page that can "clutter" that experience.

My suggestion is to simply horizontally flip the male vs female default pose. One faces right, one faces left. You'll be able to tell on first glance which is which for things like breeding, trades, or nbw, it doesn't add too much unnecessary work on the artists, and it doesn't add any implications of sexual dimorpism.

I actually like this idea a lot. I wouldn't get my wolves mixed up and it would be easy to pairbond them

I support! I'd honestly like to see some sexual dimorphism, even if it's subtle, it would make things more interesting. The only problem is how though, because it's hard to tell irl which wolves are male and which are female due to lack of sexual dimorphism, the only way to really tell is either by observing their behaviour, especially during the mating season, or paying attention to size difference between individuals (male wolves are larger than females by about 20%).

I don't necessary think we should implement sexual dimorphism, especially when as you said it isn't really there without careful observation. This game doesn't have your wolves really next to each other in game, so the size differences feels like it's out.

The reason why I'm not interested so much in altering male vs female artwork is because it's not a viable ( nor allowed ) suggestion in this board, and if it's too much work for just a quality of life change, it's not necessarily worth it.

There's also a case of users being dissatisfied with male vs female art/changes, and we don't need to introduce unnecessary controversy, especially regarding what can be controversial topics, if we don't have to.

But thank you for voicing your support and opinions! I appreciate it!

I like this a lot. I hope they implement this in the game.
