During this week's development breeding was added into the game. This system merges the stats of both parent horses, calculating an average as a starting point. To add a touch of natural unpredictability, I have included a randomization element, creating a more dynamic and realistic breeding experience.
An aspect of this new system is the success chance, which varies based on several factors. Compatibility between horse breeds plays a crucial role; matching breeds increases the likelihood of successful breeding. Additionally, breeding horses within your own stable grants a higher success rate compared to external breeding. I have also implemented a cost structure for breeding with horses from other stables. Currently, this cost is primarily mechanical, but future updates will align it more closely with the career earnings of the horse. Notably, using a stallion from another stable is significantly more economical than using their mare.
A pedigree tree was also added to the game, I quite like how it turned out! Looking ahead, the next update will introduce avatars for the in-game human characters. Here's a sneak peek at what's coming!
