Release Schedule 2014?

[dancing_serpent]

Does anyone know if we will have monthly releases in 2014, like we did last year? Because until I know otherwise, I'll keep slots open for tomorrow.

Thanks! Green Coppers are in Coast and Jungle? Dude I totally associated "green" with Forest...

Found the entry on Drag Cave Wiki, explaining the colours and biomes:

Fiona BlueFire further explained the colorations of the dragons:

“

Actually, the colors are rainbow, verdigris and liver of sulfur. A rainbow patina on copper is achieved with heat. We decided to use that as the normal coloration of the dragons, rather than a shiny plain copper, mostly because we both liked how they looked so much.

Verdigris is another name for oxidized copper. If you look at the American Statue of Liberty, you see a fine example of verdigris. Salt and high humidity are conditions that speed up the oxidation. The Coast and the Jungle seemed like the places where those conditions would be found.

Liver of sulfur is an acid that can be applied to copper to create a particular coloration. In this case we chose it for places where conditions are particularly harsh, like the Volcanoes and the Desert.

Oh wow, that's pretty interesting. You can see how much work the spriter's put into their babies.
Perhaps I should also take a look at the Wiki in terms of mating and the offspring's colors to learn more. I don't have any specific plans with Coppers - apart from having them on my scroll - but who knows, I might change my mind.

(And I totally went to the Jungle for a Green Copper because I needed to hunt in the cave more and caught a Silver instead*lays dying*)
