As many of you know, Gamescom 2012 is just around the corner! The Fishing Cactus blog has been a bit quiet over the past week or so... Understandably so, since a demo has been in development. We learned a lot of new information from Gamescom 2011: Hopefully we'll be seeing/reading/watching a lot more about Creatures 4 this time around! The event opens up tomorrow, although August 16th-19th appear to be the dates open to the general public. The Creatures 4 exhibit has already been set up: Check out This Picture! Looks like we'll be seeing the giant Creatures 4 Norn again! Good luck to Bigben/Fishing Cactus: We'll all be looking forward to anything and everything related to the game! |

I can't wait! Unfortunately my internet is due to run out, so it may be some time before I can watch any footage of it.  |

Jessica: Thanks for the update! I'm really excited to hear more news on C4.  C-Rex: Can't you go to a friend's house or the library?  - Rascii |

The only thing I'm slightly worried about is that Creatures 4 is not on the List of Releases. Bigben has four items on the list, but Creatures 4 is nowhere to be found. The list isn't 100% correct, of course, but I would think that if Bigben took the time to submit a list of their releases for 2012, C4 would be there. It needs publicity! I'm waiting for some screenshots, videos, or even something on Twitter mentioning the Creatures 4 exhibit. Hopefully your internet won't run out too soon, C-Rex! |

I am hoping this time they have awesome well explained HD videos that last ten to 15 minutes long, lol. Pictures will do but motion is always better and gives more things to discuss about. |
|||
Jessica |
I agree! A lengthy video would be great, although I won't be opposed to lots of pictures with lots of information! I've been scouring the internet for any mention of Creatures 4 at Gamescom, but I've come up empty-handed. Most of the buzz is about the bigger games. I'm sure we'll have something soon... I just wish it happened during the first day or two of Gamescom, rather than after it ends. |

Here is some footage |

So it seems that the Shee is there for the tutorial? Ooooooooooweeeeeeeeeeoooooooooo |
|||
Caves Dweller Rascii Administrator |
Wow! The graphics seem impressive. I like the way the zoom feature works. Thanks for sharing, chosenpredator!- Rascii |
|||
 AquaShee |
Yeah, the Shee is there as the tutorial/help guy. That's what they said when they introduced him at least. I love how the Norn's first words are 'em coo', pure Creatures stuff right there. The Community Scribble: make (y)our own metaroom! |
|||
 Prodigal Sock Ghosthande |
Yes, that's awesome. And also, that's a freaky bunny.  |
|||
 Amaikokonut |
Oh my gosh that massive, massive head.  [Naturing :: Nurturing] |
|||
AquaShee |
I know right? How does it stay upright? But I think it'll make it easier to see the age of the Norns this way. The older norns all seem to have more regular proportions, and even proportions that vary between breeds. The Community Scribble: make (y)our own metaroom! |
|||
Jessica |
Thanks for posting that link, Chosenpredator! I'm very happy about the language being included. It still seems a little more different than what I was envisioning, but I think there are a lot of things to still learn! I just hope that we end up with some more videos from Gamescom: Seems like lots more can be seen in this demo! |

Wait... Norns can fly? |

AquaShee |
It's playing with a fan built into the ground! I'm jealous, I want to do that too! The Community Scribble: make (y)our own metaroom! |

 FlyingEttiNorn |
Errrm, I can barely see the screen. xD |
|||
chosenpredator |
thats a huge norn giant norn |
|||
Jessica |
Wow, that really is! Looks like the same one we saw last year, only this is a much clearer picture. The original Flickr page for it can be found Here. Pretty sure the user doesn't have any other Creatures 4 images, but you never know! Something else might pop up by the end of Gamescom. |

Did anyone else notice that the four-eared bunny EATS the purple flower? Ecology!My TCR Norns |

AquaShee watches the footage again. Wow, it does! And it actually has four ears! I thought those were tufts of fur on its cheeks. It seems to be asleep too before it wakes up and eats the flowers. This means the little plants animals got quite a bit of attention from the devs, which is everything we could have hoped for. The Community Scribble: make (y)our own metaroom! |

Excellent! Flora and fauna are one of my favourite aspects in a Creatures game; I think they really make a world. Very glad to see that Fishing Cactus are staying true to this! ![[ngrin]](/images/smilies/emot_grin.gif "[ngrin]") |

Given that the baby was a little girl, it doesn't look like there's much gender dimorphism at the moment in the norns. The excessive ![[heart]](/images/smilies/heart.gif "[heart]") s on tickling () have been removed. I hope this changes for the release, but not sure if it will. Also, the hand can cause the Oliphant (a beige four-legged critter with a long... neck?) to jump, presumably if you click on it. My TCR Norns |

Well, I'm happy to see them not running around after coins like a bad Mario rip-off, so that's improvement at least... |
|||
Lollipop Lord C-Rex |
Nice to see more recent footage of the game, although I do think that the baby Norn's head is a little too big for her body. I'm surprised she could even stand without toppling over! |

I wonder if they'll post a blog entry on the event soon. Don AmberCreatures  |

Everytime I see "Someone replied to Gamescom 2012 and Creatures 4 in Creatures 4 forum" in my Updates feed, I get SO EXCITED that there has been a C4 Gamescom update released. And then when I discover it's just people chatting about it... I feel: ![[ncrying]](/images/smilies/emot_crying.gif "[ncrying]") - Rascii |
|||
Jessica |
Ha ha! I get the same way, Rascii! Andrea responded to me via Twitter that there will be screenshots and a description coming out this week... I assume it will be a blog post, but I'm hoping it will be posted sooner, rather than later! |
|||
chosenpredator |
new creature blog update i go to their site waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much and press refresh lol |
|||
Jessica |
Thanks for the link, ChosenPredator! Ooo, things are looking pretty neat. Ecosystems, speech, customization, splicing, a science kit... So much! I'll be keeping an eye out for those new pictures, and hopefully we'll start to get more tidbits of information as the release date approaches. |
|||
Tea Queen Laura |
I'm very happy to see a glimpse of the Hatchery, Splicing Machine and Science Kit; they each look reassuringly familiar and complex. Thank you for sharing, chosenpredator, I've posted the news up on the homepage! |
|||
AquaShee |
I'm glad to see there will be aqua norns! Sounds exciting! (Not sure if they'll actually be aquatic, or just aqua-coloured. But still!) ![[ntongue]](/images/smilies/emot_tongue.gif "[ntongue]") The Community Scribble: make (y)our own metaroom! |
|||
Caves Dweller Rascii Administrator |
Yay, I'm so excited. It sounds like Fishing Cactus delayed the game based on community feedback, and has been focusing on features that the community was hoping for. What more could we want from a Creatures 4 game? - Rascii |
|||
Patient Pirate ylukyun Manager |
I agree. This is really shaping up to be something spectacular. Even if it's not quite as good as the original games, it's sure to come very, very close. |
|||
Jessica |
I'm very happy where things are headed! C4 may not turn out to be the "perfect" game for everyone, but I've been pretty happy with what's been released. Maybe my memory is foggy, but have the screenshots on the Bigben C4 Page been updated? I really don't remember that first one with the flying Norn and egg getting ready to hatch. I feel like the others are very familiar... It's quite late for me, so maybe I just need a fresh set of eyes in the morning! But in any case, I'm getting more excited about the release date! |
