Well, you're in luck—tonight we're kicking off the [b][i]Flight Rising[/i] Development Stream[/b]! The development team will be utilizing our [b]official YouTube channel[/b] to give everyone a personal look into how we bring Sornieth to life. [center][permalink][b]Click here to learn more about this update.[/b][/permalink][/center] [more] ------------------ As global communities practice crucial safety measures and social distancing due to the outbreak of COVID-19, we know many of you have extra time at home. We're also feeling the weight of this crisis and are looking for ways to stay positive. With that in mind, we thought it might be uplifting and fun to share some of [i]Flight Rising's[/I] development process with you. We hope you enjoy it! [size=5][b]Development Stream[/b][/size] [center][url=https://youtu.be/h4lLd9HZm4Y][img]http://flightrising.com/dropbox/DevStreamBannerAnimated.gif[/img][/url][/center] Using our [b][url=https://www.youtube.com/user/FlightRisingOfficial]official YouTube channel[/url][/b], the [i]Flight Rising[/i] development team will occasionally be livestreaming our work on future features. In the interest of allowing our employees the flexibility they need, [b]there will not be a set schedule[/b], and may fluctuate based on project initiatives and priorities. Because art factors so heavily into what [i]Flight Rising[/i] is, the vast majority of streams will be of that nature. [size=5][b]Details & Focus[/b][/size] General details about the stream(s): [LIST] [*]Will not run on a set schedule, to allow our team flexibility. [*]Will be announced on all our social media channels, as well as in the [b]Site Status box[/b] on the front page. [*]Will generally last around an hour or two. [*]Will be available to watch on our YouTube channel later. [*]Future Development Streams will have their own discussion thread in the [b][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd]Flight Rising Discussion[/url][/b] forum. [/LIST] To kick these off, we'll be focusing our first development streams on [b]Ancient Breed #3[/b]! Normally, we keep our breeds highly under-wraps, but we thought streaming offered us a unique chance to bring the community into the room with us. While we are still hashing out a lot of details, here are some we can share with you: [LIST] [*]We'll be livestreaming the art creation of [b]Ancient Breed #3[/b], which has [b]just begun[/b] development. [*]The breed change scrolls for this dragon will be sold in the [b]Gem Marketplace[/b]. [*]Gene scrolls for the breed will still [b]follow the same rules as previous ancient breeds[/b]: parallel genes will match the acquisition methods of their modern gene equivalents, and unique genes will be offered via a variety of methods (treasure, gems, gameplay), etc. [*]The [b]elemental alignment[/b] of the breed is not being shared yet. What we do know is that it will be an element that does not already have multiple breeds representing it. [*]We have not determined a release timeframe yet for the breed, but we can tell you that it [b]will[/b] absolutely be launching in 2020, and that [b]it is not our anniversary feature[/b]. [emoji=coatl star size=1] [/LIST] ----------- We're very excited to share some of the progress we're making with our players. That being said: as of this announcement post, our Development Stream is [b][url=https://youtu.be/h4lLd9HZm4Y]live right now[/url][/b], so jump in and witness some Sornieth history being made!

You can use this thread to discuss the stream itself, as well as the potential for future streams. All we ask is you remain on the topic of Flight Rising Development Streams! Thank you!
