have seen players here suggesting that they want to see battle simulations with creatures before, don't want to hijack those threads though. wont list the site to avoid conflicts but I might be able to help gather info on this topic to talk to official devs from another site, attempting to contact the current new devs or ppl who can help talk to those devs and site owners for creatures as well to see if can create a mutually beneficial contract between the businesses and potentially help get their online version going quicker and in a way that helps players be happy(have a bit of experience in f2p /p2w games and getting suggestions done to improve things/hosting events that help free players and making things more acceptable for free players+cashers&heavy cashers- will do best to infuse knowledge to creatures online- i'd rather not see creatures online become casher heavy but understand they need money for their work and to keep the game up more)

if interested in a multiplayer environment with battle type options and regular breeding options where we land/dock on a realm with interesting native inhabitants (still retaining all the creatures qualities while fusing to more systems of those realms)

please post your ideas +concepts/vote here (not to be mistaken for the DS only multiplayer realm but maybe it can eventually adapt some of these qualities as well and hopefully for sure at least the 2.5d environment map building potential so its mutually beneficial to all involved- can't promise anything but I'll do best to help people be heard)

I was thinking about making creatures capable of something like tribal warfare and a few ways to do it.

One way would be to give the creatures genes to recognize family, and then hatch a bunch from one genome with set parent monikers, so they will all recognize each other as siblings... They could then be made genetically to be extremely violent towards anything not in their family.

Something even cooler could be accomplished with agents, since then you can look at their parent monikers and things like their head sprites in code, to distinguish between teams... you can alter fighting scripts to make them hit enemies harder than friends for example, or even cooler, repurpose involuntary action scripts like 'sneeze' in a world setup so instead of sneezing, the creatures can shoot a laser or something... and it can be set off genetically maybe by them being angry and looking at someone not in their team/family. You can even alter the death script so they explode, lol...

You can just have agents that sit like machines and watch the world, and do various things based on team, keep score maybe, send stims or drive changes, or maybe teleport all the creatures into some arena area but grouped together by team with the teams apart.

love the ideas!! could probably easily achieve the teleport thing if got it down because the mass move safe/all creatures of type caos code thought saw somewhere before! same with the other concepts- just gotta get design plans down ;p would love your help on the avp battle sim if want! or any tips if have any(slightly different suggestion then this but don't mind since might all eventually run in same client if we are lucky*different areas but still same client)
personally will admit still noob at coding but its very interesting for me +learn quick


posted a intro onto the new main site, notice that a few of the mods +admins here are over there too :D sent friend request. if would be willing to help facilitate a convo I'd greatly appreciate it! feel free to add me over there as well if anyone has a account. really want to help get the feedback train going to them so can see their game running asap+ours improved in ways as things go since see no reason not to if using same engine

sent a copy of a few links from here to my gm+dev team and spewed a nice rant how we could all benefit from something like what been expressing (more plants etc even+more ability to be recognized officially if we want to design more)- being patient for a talk with the creatures ppl still as well - again can't promise anything but will keep poking and helping us all be heard!

I'm confused- is this about developing a new game with the Creatures IP?
