I wish C4 was coming to a games conference in Asia. It would be a great excuse to travel. :D

Unlike the GamesCom exhibitions, Creatures 4 has its own page on the PGW website!

Unfortunately, the English and German sites don't have any information on the game, so here's a rough translation of what's on the French site!

The most adorable of the life sims!

You must remember Norns. In 1996, these delightful, mischievous, curious and endearing little creatures invaded our computers and invented a new genre of life with simulators. The Sims, Nintendogs, Spore, etc. today are distinguished descendants. In colonies of ten to twenty living individuals, Norns are charming, small, omnivorous and oviparous mammals, inquisitive, eager to learn and understand, and technology enthusiasts. They each have a unique genetic heritage, defining their physical predispositions, psychological and intellectual.

The crucial unique genetics is the soil in which artificial intelligence, based on the work of cognitive scientists who specialized in neural networks, will grow. Once the Norns are out of their eggs, the player becomes at once the mother, father, teacher and protector. He must seek their attention, teach them to speak, repeat causal links to guide their behaviour, their understanding of the operation of the many machines available to them, treat them, guide their choices, reward or punish them, and cross them to create genetic lines developing rare qualities, exchange Norns with his friends to create new species ... what to do with each colony depends entirely on him, and as in real life, the possibilities are endless!

Unfortunately it seems to be located in the "juniors" section of the exhibition. :\

PGW wrote:
The Paris Games Week Junior is an area dedicated to an audience of less than 12 years.

Manufacturers and vendors meet to offer games for children 3 to 12 years.

I guess this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I hope it just means that there isn't blood and violence, rather than that the gameplay is at a 12 and under level.

"it just means there isn't blood and violence" --> you're spot on right there. It only comes down to age classifications and nothing else. Since Creatures 4 contains no gore, no violence and no explicit language, it's classified as 3+. Therefore it's accessible for everybody. That doesn't make it's for babies or totally dumbed down. Let me reassure you that it is NOT ;-)

I just got off of Skype with my sister who is visiting her boyfriend just outside of Paris, sounds like they are going to go to PGW and check out the C4 setup. "Every player that will come and play the game will receive a Creatures 4 exclusive bag and an exclusive Norn figurine !" <-- They are going to give me that swag = D

@silvak: I happen to be blessed with a desk and a chair inside the fishing cactus office (aka. The Main Cave) ;-)

So, I sometimes listen in when they have sprint sessions of the C4 dev team, while sneaking a peek at the stuff, all the way pretending I'm just pouring myself a cup of coffee in the corner (but shhh, don't tell them).

@Rascii: How envious are you now? :D

They aren't the only ones who're jealous, DrNachoZ! I hope you'll share some photos of the swag with us? ;) That would be awesome.

And hello Scal, nice to have someone else from The Main Cave here with us! I think you must have one of the best jobs in the world right now. :D

HAHA! I knew it! I won't tell anyone. It's just good to know someone on the inside who can confirm bits and pieces, like that the creatures really are complex and not simplified for children.

Now I'm double jealous!!!

I've been scouring youtube for any sign of C4 being at PGW, but haven't had much luck. The only one I've found so far that is even slightly close is this one....here.

I spotted the Bigben logo at 03:51

Hopefully now that the PGW is in full swing, we might get more peeks at it. :)
