In the interview between two Fishing Cactus developers and Proseiben at Gamescom, quite a bit of information was released regarding the games. We've handpicked a few of the quotes that provided the newest/most relevant information here.
- "It's actually based on the original Creatures source code … It was really important for us to use that as a base and not simplify it or dumb it down." - Andrea Di Stefano
- "We are doing a beta that will be released on iOS in September/Octoberish … we expect to have the iOS first released by the end of the year … we will update the game at regular intervals and other platforms will follow … but we're not good at giving dates" - Andrea Di Stefano
- "We have a feature in the game that the hardcore players that played the original one will definitely love because it's really like a tribute to them" - Samuel Languy
- "… it's called the science kit" - Andrea Di Stefano
- "Since we have like the coolest community in the world and they're really nice even though we're late … thank you guys" - Andrea Di Stefano
- "We put [Angry] Nornito's spirit into a chili" - Samuel Languy
- "You [can] ask a creature to do something and it doesn't react … it becomes a rebel" - Samuel Languy

I'm sure the science kit and being based on the old engine have been mentioned before.
It's good to hear that Norns can still be disobedient butts, though. XD Frustrating as they can be sometimes (especially C2 ones!) it'd feel weird if they didn't. |

I think it sounds rather positive so far, especially that they recycled big parts of the old engine and not just tried to cobble together their own mess.
It annoys me a bit that they first make the iOS version. I do not have a single Apple product, nor the money for one. Additionally I would not want one, even if I could afford.

I do have to say that interacting with the Norns via touchscreen might be a nice change.

I believe it's been confirmed multiple times that ettins and grendels aren't going to be in the initial release. Key word being "initial release" - presumably, FC is planning on patching them in later.

Yeah, I could see them holding off on ettins since even C1 didn't have ettins, but grendels? Those should come very soon after initial release. They're a crucial part of the Creatures series since the beginning.
