Markings and coat mutations
Post by Rosalba »
I don't know if this is asked in another thread yet, but what I was wondering is whether white markings, such as blazes and socks, will be included. I have not seen any of those on any of the preview horses. In real life, you can have a 'solid' horse with white markings this way.

Yes all the traditional white markings will be available on the horses. I haven't included them in yet but I've already programmed how they will work

Ah, nice! Looking forward to this game more and more! The first game out there to actually work with dynamic horse types... I was twiddling my thumbs for you guys to make it through the Kickstarter campaign, and now I am assured that every penny invested by the community is well spent!
To bug you with just another question: will somatic mutations/point mutations also occur? Think of Calico, Pawprints ('mismarks' in pinto patterns), Brindle, Tetrarch Spots... I would totally love the game without them too, but I am quite curious about the more detailed range of possible effects on the coat color. Also: yes, FINALLY a game to work with color shades rather than just colors. Good job there!

We're pretty thrilled the Kickstarter succeeded too
The plan is to eventually add in all kinds of special markings like the one's you mentioned.

Nice Also, how will the 'regular' white markings such as blaze be coded? Will they be inherited through simple dominant and recessive genes or will they be randomly assembled?

They definitely wont be random. They are the result of many different genes most of which are incomplete dominate but some are also simple dominate.
