Gosh, can you believe it?? Pretty please if you want a Norn submitted to the Wolfing Run, comment your specifications on the video instead of here just so everything is in one place! Thank you bunches!!
Hey all! Just wanted to let you know that the CCSF scheduled to start on November 17th!
Yes, this DOES mean that you'll have plenty of time to get your submissions done. However, it would be a huge help if you could still send them to me as early as possible just so I can guarantee them a spot in the YouTube video and plan out my blog entries accordingly!
I still only have a handful of submissions, but if yours isn't done and you already know exactly what you're making, you can shoot me an email now and I'll prepare for its eventual creation ahead of time!
You can submit entries to ccsf.november.2018@gmail.com , and in addition to the YouTube videos I'll be posting, the CCSF will be hosted at ccsf2018.tumblr.com !
Sorry for those of you who came across the expired domain notification. I've now renewed the domain for two years so we should be good to go until September 2020.
Thanks to everyone who continues to visit the site!
Recently an academic case study which made use of Docking Station (as well as custom-made agents and metarooms!) has been unearthed. The study split up creatures into two different species known as "Explorers", which were portrayed as ettins and "Natives", which were portrayed as a norn mix with large heads and angry expressions.
More information can be found here. I also invite everyone who is interested in this recent find to the ongoing discussion in the forum thread.
Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the last poll!

The coordinator who received the most votes was actually myself (Layla) and I'm very happy to accept this role! This will be my first year coordinating, so once I figure out exactly how much work is involved, I may ask for help from those who volunteered.
The theme that got the most votes was Revival, Renewal, and Reclamation. As such, I'm going to showcase any submissions on my YouTube channel, and I encourage all of you to do the same on whatever social media platforms you prefer!
A new breed of reptilian Creatures are now available for download!
As well as brand new sprites the Basilisks boast many odd quirks in their genomes, and as a natural continuation from my TWB genomes, they are fully cold blooded!
Hey guys! It seems like things in the community have stagnated since the initial polling for the CCSF 2018, so I've decided to try and get the ball re-rolling with a quick poll! If you'd be so kind as to fill out this survey, it'd be much appreciated!
Although there are a small number of template fixes this time, they're pretty important ones, so I definitely recommend updating your game if you've previously installed BA 1.4. The best thing about Better Albia is that updating from previous versions is super easy! Just open the Room Editor and upload the new template to your existing world.
There's two new fixes you really need to hear about: The Wallbonk fix and the World Wrap fix! These finally address two of C2's most longstanding and infuriating problems, and should be installed together for the full effect.
Good news for Creatures 2 fans: The newest update to the Better Albia set of room fixes is live!
New to version 1.4 are over 20 edits of problematic rooms, aimed at smoothing out steep floors, further widening narrow elevator shafts and sanitizing room neighbours.
This update arrives with many thanks to Yme and Elegnaim, whose valuable feedback inspired another round of in-depth bug-hunting and fixing.
Additionally, BA 1.4 now comes with a brand new 'Extras' COB, containing a series of compatability patches that make BA play nicely with several popular Bridge packs, including JayD's Ocean Bridges v1.1 and Helen and NornGOD's Bridge & Barrier pack (both highly recommended!)
Better Albia requires installation of the Room Editor application. Check out the download page for more information.
AlbiaSquared, a new Creatures 1 world being developed by GirlySatan, has received a brand-new update this week! This project has been several years in the making so far, and GirlySatan would really appreciate any volunteers willing to test the updated beta and provide feedback on what they find.
Visit her blog, GirlySatan's Adventures to download the beta and find all the information you need on the new update, and please feel free to leave any feedback or comments in the forum topic.
Happy Bunny Day, everyone! However you're spending this Easter, may it be an egg-cellent one, filled with fun, happiness and more chocolate eggs than you can manage to cram into your mouth!
There are also plenty of cracking Easter-themed downloads available at Creatures Caves to help you celebrate! Be sure to check out Malkin's egg-ceptionalEaster Addons resource article, as it has everything you need to enjoy the Easter holiday with your Norns and spans all the games in the series! Perhaps an Easter egg hunt in the Norn Meso with the Eggstravaganza Patch Plant (DS), or the Easter Egg Pack (C3/DS)?
If you've decorated your worlds egg-specially for Easter, then feel free to share them with us in the Screenshots Gallery, we'd love to see them! And if you've managed to read through this news post without cringing at my shameless puns, well done. No more bad yolks here, I promise.
Some features are: game speed adjustment, creature observation, auto-naming, egg overview, pregnancy actions, import/export control and also an early implementation of a peer-to-peer "warp".
I am now taking requests for custom userbars! Please see the forum thread for more details. Here are some examples:
As an added bonus, anyone who receives a completed userbar from their request will have their name added to a norn name lottery. During the Adventure Run which I am running over at Observing Albia, if your name is randomly chosen from the list when a norn is born you will have that norn named after you!
creatures caves is your #1 resource for the creatures artificial life game series: creatures, creatures 2, creatures 3, docking station, and the upcoming creatures family.
