2009 Beta

Tilynn Norns (2009 Beta)

The January 2009 beta version released by jelisa_j contained stabilised genetics and an egg agent that required image and data files to be installed by hand. Youth and Child stages were in a partially cleaned form, usable but with dark rough edges. Female tails were a golden colour instead of an earlier grey, but still needed brightening to match the hair. Head sprites were in a partially cleaned state, in particular the female sprites.

2024 Remastered Version

Tilynn Norns (Remastered)

In 2024 Jesseth and CosmicSynthetics released a remastered version of the breed.

The remastered version has an untouched genome, but now has fully cleaned and bug-free sprites and all life stages.

Tilynns are off-white opalescent norns with light-dappled markings if you squint. Curiously, they are photosynthetic when exposed to light CAs, and amphibious! They seem to respire more efficiently in water! It is uncertain if this is at the expense of their photosynthesis. Interacting with plants now reduces loneliness, discomfort and boredom.

Their original genetics creator put in a lot of small tweaks and redundancies to try and improve their lifespans over the default creatures. Examples are that they remove toxins from their bodies faster, and can produce prostaglandin in more than one organ (this is important for healing and is usually only produced in the "bones" of your creatures). Being inactive (quiescent) causes them to put on fat and overall they're hard if not impossible to starve of raw energy. However, this doesn't mean they can't die of malnutrition from a lack of important chemicals that maintain their bodies and organs, from catastrophic injuries or old age in the extremely long run.

Some cute little visual notes are that they have a few unique pose and gait genes, apparently moving a little differently when drunk for example, and they also have a very subtle set of pregnancy sprites, only really expanding by a few pixels.

This breed is best for:

  • plant or nature-themed runs where you want to breed in photosynthesis and positive reactions to plants
  • amphibious worlds or ones with a lot of water where you don't want drowning risks
  • improving the overall "vitality" of a failing genetic population, as there are lots of standalone genetic traits in Tilynns where any one of them might improve overall health
  • having an individual norn that is long-lived and well trained to teach behaviours to fellow creatures
  • introducing kids to the game with a creature that's harder to kill accidentally.
