Other new features in the Preview Release:

• Added capability for users to add new speech options to what the Oracle says. I'll be describing how to do this in a new post in a few days.
• Added support for other Non-player-character dialog. This isn't being used yet, but will soon allow you to talk to other magical horses other than the Oracle.
• Made it so that putting wing tips on your flying horse make it so they can hover (instead of slowly descending automatically). This doesn't work on horses with tiny wings like nightmares, though, because they fly differently.
• Changes so that riders can see better on bigger horses.
• Fixed Power Horseshoes recipe.
• Fixed a bug that was preventing breeding of horses.
• Some other minor bug fixes.

Kirins and Hippogriffs

You voted, and in last month's poll, we had two very close competitors: the Kirin and the Hippogriff!

Up until the very end, the two breeds were within 10 votes, but the Kirin pulled away in the last few days, and is the winner of the poll!  Following these poll results, I am working on creating the new Kirin breed for inclusion in the Wings, Horns, and Hooves: Ultimate Unicorn Mod!

I already have the design worked out, as well as the powers I intend to give the Kirin breed - these will be a surprise (especially since I have to see how they work out in the code, and whether I need to change them).  I expect the Kirin to be ready in the next few weeks, but if the development turns out to be harder than I anticipate, or my schedule gets messed up, it may take a little longer.

Also, since the Hippogriff was so competitive, I am deciding to add it in as well, and I'll begin work on it as soon as I'm done with the Kirin!  I have done some thinking on its design and powers, but I still have much to finalize.  However, I'm excited!  I hope you are, too!

For your enjoyment, here's a link to the Kirin wikipedia article.
