@Klarac can you adjust the description under compatibility when someone can ask for permission?

@Ph00nix No. These assets were made for this mod only.

can i use the species for my dragon mod?

@Bluetail Hi, thanks for the kind words! Regarding commissions, you can DM me on Discord @klarac or here on Steam if you don't have a Discord account!

I did not expect a Spore creature from Rebecca on Stellaris, wow, this is so cool what in the world??? I wonder could I commission you?

updated thank you your mods are good. many do not update and their mods simply do not work with new versions of the game.

@Fetfrumos96 The mod has now been updated

update the mod to the latest version 3.14.1 please.

@Barbed wire It's something I've been meaning to get into, but I wanted to learn how to animate portraits first. If you are fine with them being static, I'm up for doing a commission! If you have Discord you can message me at @klarac, otherwise you can just DM me here on Steam.

Just wondering, do you take commissions for portrait mods? I really love the idea.

Mod has been updated

Hey guys, update to this mod will be late. Paradox bricked a portrait modding QoL feature in the new update.

@Random Show <3

You're an absolute gem!

@Random Show Thanks for letting me know! The mod has been updated!

Good news, Paradox has fixed that! You can now add portraits to species class without issues!

@Random Show That would require overwriting the game files, which could cause compatibility issues. Making a new species class is how the vast majority of portrait mods avoid that.

put under reptilian?

@Klarac Hahahaha much appreciated!!

@stormwolf442 You just made me realise I literally forgot to publish the update for this mod... I'll do that now xD

Yes, they still work! ^^

@Klarac Are the Jowwi still functional with the latest update? I wanted to ask real quick before adding it to the list again. :)

@Klarac
I really look forward to that update! They'll look really awesome with those idle movements down the line. I've been using their portraits lately for a smaller counterpart to a dragon race, I think they work really well in a syncretic evolution scenario.

@stormwolf442 Thank you for the kind words! I'd definitely love to have them be animated in the future, but it will sadly have to wait a bit. I'm currently busy with other stuff and I'll also have to learn how to use Blender first to be able to aniamte them. ^^,

Quick comment to offer my praise for this very well done pack. Is animation a possibility in the future? I don't know how much work goes into those animated portraits, but I thought it might be worth asking for your thoughts on it Klarac. (:

Just a quick heads-up, I think the way you turned off random spawns may have also disabled these guys spawning in a prescripted empire, even with forced spawn on. Had them as a portrait for a secondary species on one of my empires and they wouldn't show up as an AI until I changed it. Not a big deal at all, just something to be aware of.

@Eisvisage That's really odd. I have no clue what could cause that, so I disabled the random jowwi spawns for now with the exception of the prescripted country in the empire selection screen.

Really cool mod! However, I noticed an issue with the game spawning a primitive species of Jowwis without a name (name is literally "", nothing), and when I go into genemodding to change their name it crashes once I click the renaming button.

wonderful!

@greensniperhat Glad you like them! I'd like them to be animated as well, but it's not something I know how to do, so I'll try to ask in the modding Discord to see if there's anyone who could animate them!

Wooooah, they look cooler now!
I'd like an animated version but hey, this is good enough for now.

@dgray2259 a Spore creature made a DarkEdgeTV

What is a Jowwi?

@TurtleShroom I updated the mod. Found the way to make the game randomize portraits. There's only one species now.

@TurtleShroom No, these are static portraits and sadly they all have the chance to spawn as an empire. I'm still trying to find a way to make the game generate the different variants if I only make one species, but honestly considering this is my first ever mod (not just for Stellaris, but in general) I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. But like I said, I will still try to fix things and add more content as time goes on.

Are these animated? What did you do to prevent, like, six separate Jowwi empires from generating? If each Jowwi is its own Species, wouldn't they all have the potential to spawn multiple times over?
