TOPIC | Checkers and Chess Gene Errors
Please check the known issues and working-as-intended sections before making a report!

This thread is to track any gene errors that occur with the Checkers and Chess expansion. This thread is for the newly modern version 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 days after release, on April 28, 2025. After this time, players may report technical issues with these and other gene errors in the Modern 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


Known Issues


Investigating (Not sure if issue or not)


Working as intended
  • Primary: Checkers (Fae) - Two of the head frills with fae are associated with the primary. These not having the pattern is considered working as intended for this particular gene.




I will be deleting reports that are not relevant to the Checkers/Chess 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:
