Optional Grove Aging Art

Optional Grove Aging Art
Posted 2021-02-06 02:42:52 (edited)

So... Similar to how there's a completely optional art bundle for pup stages, I was thinking maybe there could be a completely optional art bundle for "aging" stages in wolves.  I was thinking maybe it could go "prime" (the current adult art) from 1-5 years, then "aging" (add a little grey over the paws and face, maybe dull the coat just a little?), from 5-7y2m, and then after the possible death age of 7y2m "elderly" (more grey, maybe skinnier or more messy/unkempt fur from not being able to groom as well).

I was thinking that, similar to the pups art bundle, this could serve as not only an optional immersive feature to show the passage of time but it could also (similar to the pup art) serve as a fast way to gauge how much time there is on a wolf in sales without having to look at the wolfs profile.  ie: if you're looking for a new herbalist or a breeding female for a project, you might avoid a wolf with aging or elderly art so you can get the most out of them, but if you're just looking for a pupsitter or a short-term solution to not having enough wolves for a hunting party while waiting for a pup to grow up/stat up then an aging or elderly wolf won't matter.

I thought maybe it could be done in a similar manner to the pup art in terms of roll out and pricing and everything.  And like the pup art it won't make any real difference to the game mechanics if you do or don't have it, it just makes some things easier to tell at a glance and a bit more immersive.

I support except for one thing-

"(more grey, maybe skinnier or in a different pose since they don't have the energy to stand proud all the time, more messy/unkempt fur from not being able to groom as well)."

Poses are an auto-reject suggestion, as seen here. So other than that, I support, but you might want to remove that part so this isn't rejected ^v^

I support this! I would love to see some grey-furred older wolves, that'd be adorable

Support, this game is in desperate need of some art variation.

I like this idea! Even just adding two additional 'elder' stages like the two pup stages would be cool!

Support, I would love to see some extra life stages for older wolves. The aesthetic change would provide a lot more than you'd think for personal lore and for a sense of progression. Even just one extra life stage once a wolf hits six years would be cool to see. Personally for my pack, the eldest wolves hold the most respect and power. So it'd be cool to see that reflected in the art, and it would make it easier to visually differentiate younger and older adult wolves without having to look at their ages.

Oh for sure. The pup stages are really cute, but I'm sure plenty of people would also be willing to pay for this, too. I would.
