Primary Gene Gene Error Updates
Not Subscribed


This thread is to track any gene errors that occur with the Checkers, Chess, and Ornaments expansion. This thread is for the newly released Ancient breed versions of these genes only, and does not encompass previously released genes.

In this thread, players may report any errors they encounter with the new genes. These can be technical errors, or consistency issues. This thread is intended to focus on these potential errors so that they can be addressed swiftly

We define technical errors as things such as: pattern bleed, pixellation, halo effects, inconsistencies within the same breed, color swatch errors, genes being uploaded in place of other genes, misaligned templates, missing artwork, gaps, missing pixels along a seam, missing line art, stray pixels, patterns that bleed outside the silouette, etc.


We define consistency/style differences as differences between an existing gene and its counterparts on other breeds that may differ. Sometimes this is intentional, sometimes it's an oversight. If a style difference is brought up, we will confirm it as working as intended, or report it as an error and complete the change within a 45-day time limit.


Please report any errors you encounter and we will do our best to correct them in a timely manner. This thread will close out 45 47 days after release (so as not to close on a holiday), on December 1, 2025. After this time, players may report technical issues with these and other gene errors in the Ancient Gene Error Backlog Thread, but further consistency issues will not be accepted for review and will be considered working as intended.


Note that it may take a short while for the site's internal image cache to reflect the corrected image assets.

Corrected Issues
  • Ornaments (All Everlux) - There directory where the images for this are located was misnamed, resulting in broken images. Fixed.


Known Issues


Investigating (Not sure if issue or not)


Working as intended
  • Multi-Gaze & Line-Breaking Tertiaries: Sadly, the multi gaze and line breaking tertiary issue is a technical limitation. Eyes must always layer over the primary, secondary, and tertiary genes, and they are not contextually aware of what is below them and able to alter their shape to accommodate. This is a limitation with all of our dragons that have line breaking tertiaries.
  • Checkers (Auraboa): The stripes that normally go on the paws are not present in this gene because Auraboa hands/paws are part of the secondary for all Auraboa genes. The stripes that go on the hands/paws are present in Chess. The hands/paws that show up on checkers will be whatever the hand/paw pattern of the secondary gene is.



I will be deleting reports that are not relevant to the Checkers, Chess, and Ornaments gene expansion, reports that have been corrected, reports are not considered an issue, duplicate reports, and discussion or chatter as I encounter/investigate them to keep the thread current with gene reports only.


This thread is accepting reports on the following genes only:
