Tides of Change: Spice Swarm

With the Light of Change long dormant in the belly of the Spice Cliffs, the sparse descendants of the once powerful Spice Swarm try to garner the relic's favor with violence in honor of their fallen parents.

A ClanGen file where I draw and design kitties as though they were in the world of Cookie Run: Kingdom :] !

Gameplay Rules/Settings

Settings:

Cats can breed with cats that aren't their mates,

Pregnancy ignores biology,

Cats can have kittens with an unknown second parent,

Warriors and elders can choose to become mediators,

Cats will not become mates with cousins or former mentors.

Challenge Rules:

Cats have to have a personality trait that aligns with the Soul Jam of Change or its halves in order to lead,

Cats will be named for food, flavors, etc., with priority on spices and herbs,

I will be rolling on a random table to determine cat "rarity" for design complexity,

Some of these rarities change the species of the cat, such as faeries or dragons. Different rarities have different rules associated with them; this is being workshopped as I play :]

Cats will not appear biologically accurate, and their sprites are only used as a basis for coloration. Some examples include:

Greys can be greens, blues, purples, or pinks, Browns can be pinks or purples, Oranges/Reds can be pinks. Other colors may show up based on vibes -- this is entirely up to me, there are no mods involved with the coloration (yet).

[cccdiscord]

Thank you so much to all the Discord members who completed our April event - the Species Swap! Due to popular demand (one person sending us an ask :3), here's the template we used. The list included on the right is just what we could think up, please feel free to expand beyond it - check our reblogs to see some awesome examples of creativity!

[exocynraku]

Desperately need you to drop how you made that family tree in google sheets or like. the link to the template or something

i'd share a template but i actually got this tree-making style from someone on twitter, and just reconstructed it myself (i use sheets a lot so i was able to figure out how they did it) i will teach:

start with empty sheet. go view->show-> and uncheck gridlines

2) click this box and colour fill the sheet with a nice colour that doesn't hurt your eyes and is readable with black or white text overtop

3) select all of the columns, hit resize columns, and set it to 30. this will make your sheet very small, so make sure to keep your selection and click "insert 26 columns to the left/right" to make it larger

^ as you can see here the box that im selecting is very small now! this is correct.

4) select a 4 spaces wide x 6 spaces tall box, reset its colour to white, and click 'merge cells'

5) select the 4 squares directly below the box and click merge cells again. this is your text box, where names can go. if you aren't adding names you don't need this.

^ i am using the font verdana, 10 font size, with central horizontal and vertical align 6) you now have your character box. i copy and paste the same box around, and just change the name. next i will show you how to put the picture in. 6.5) you will need a picture or screenshot of your character/picture. i should add that the picture squares aren't actually perfect squares (they're taller) so make sure the pic you get isn't one either! select your picture box and copy+paste the picture it. it will appear VERY big usually but this is OK. art used here is ursidays

next, click the 3 dots at the right corner at click 'put image in selected cell' at the bottom.

now your picture is in the cell! 7) now i will teach how to do the lines: the red and blue boxes are to show how many spaces are between characters, they are not things you will add. i do TWO spaces between people right next to eachother horizontally and THREE vertically.

first, i do all of the horizontal lines, between the lovers and above the children.

you will click the 'borders' button. in the lineweight options (bottom right button) i set it to the 2nd thickness. then, click the button that creates a line on the TOP of what youre selecting.

that makes this;

next, select the right spaces to where your lines end. you can select the left side, but make sure all of the things you select are on the same side.

you will now go back to the 'borders' menu and click the left-border button.

and that gives you this!

this is pretty much all you need to know. for me, if a character is divorced/disowned, i change the lines to red, and if a character is adopted, i change the lines to blue. a character w/o a known lover but who has children i give a line coming from the bottom of their name. if two unrelated lines intersect, i colour one of the touching lines the background colour but slightly darker to make sure it's obvious they aren't connected. ok thats it! if you/anyone else needs more help just ask me :3

[cat-soap-opera]

does this mean anything to you

[turtle-tail-s]

ravenpaw

very grape flavored :]

[turtle-tail-s]

I cookied my oc :]

[turtle-tail-s]

do you have any cookie names in mind for your wc designs? (like firestar being. chosen one cookie or smth LOL)

I didn't actually when I started working on it, but now...... hmmm...

Fireheart: Bold Spice (kittypet), Flaming Hot (tc)

Greystripe: Grey Moss

Ravenpaw: Black Bird

Sandstorm: Lemon Zest

Bluefur: Blue Raspberry

Spottedleaf: Iced Tea

Tigerclaw: Charcoal Tiger

(This is roughly the order I plan on drawing some of them :] )

I also think that it would be fun to design leaders as though they were 'costumes' for their warrior selves.

[turtle-tail-s]

greypaw

i made him a greenish-grey to tie him into thunderclan a bit.

[turtle-tail-s]

can you draw ferncloud and ashfur as tigerstar and goldenflower kits?

this was asked in 2023 and im so very sorry it took so long to get to it lmao

but here you are :D

[turtle-tail-s]

If you're open to warrior cats design requests, could I please have Jay (Yellowfang's Secret/Tallstar's Revenge)? Thanks!
