Rascii has spent a lot of time giving our COBs section a fantastic new makeover!
With the addition of a Most Popular COBs feature, and easier ways to upload, catalogue and link to the collective work of the community, the Downloads section is well on its way to becoming bigger and better than ever before! Together we can create the best and most up-to-date library of COBs out there. 
However, these are just some of the highlights. If you haven't done so already, please do take a moment to check out the new updates for yourself and leave feedback in the corresponding forum topic. We'd love to know what you all think. Remember, your ideas and opinions help to make Creatures Caves what it is!  |
For those of you with Apple and Android devices, a new Creatures 4 account on Instagram has been created by Fishing Cactus! It's great seeing Creatures on all of the latest social networking websites.
As you can see in the included photo, the norn figure is watching the new Creatures 4 - Gangnorn Style video on YouTube. Be sure to check it out if you haven't already!
And don't forget, Norn Creatures is the new Pinterest account for Creatures 4 (news article).  |

I would just like everyone to know that tomorrow I am planning on changing Docking Station Galaxy's address from http://dockingstationgalaxy.blogspot.co.uk to http://dsgalaxy.blogspot.co.uk. Please update your bookmarks! |
Be sure to check out the newly created We Love Creatures! blog on Tumblr: A blog dedicated to Creatures, an artificial life series that started in 1996, with a strong community that still exists today! Created by Panda-mist. |
Some of the programs that Mea has been using in her projects, such as Silence Falls (pictured), Chione, and many others, are free for a limited time!
Mea recommends:
* Bryce 7 - really good for rendering metaroom backgrounds & similar things.
* Daz Studio 4.5 - Can be used for rendering not only metaroom backgrounds, but can also be used for posing & rendering agents & creatures.
* Hexagon 2 - a modeling program that you can use to make the models for agents & creatures.
If you've been awe-struck by Mea's work and want to try your own hand, get in soon - the window of opportunity won't last. |
And so we close the book on the CCSF 2012, though all of the posts and downloads will be available into the future! Visit the site for one last post: A Final Thanks & Survey. Everyone deserves a huge round of applause for the effort they put into the releases, art, writing, concepts, ideas, activity entries, and participation! This quick survey will be used to help make next year's festival even better. See you all at the CCSF 2013! (And around the community until that celebration begins!) |
Interested in finding out who won the different CCSF activities? Stop by the site to check out the Activity Winners! Thanks to all those who participated! The only activity I wish I had more time for was the wolfing run challenge... I have already labeled myself the official failed wolfing run coordinator! Ha! Enjoy your prizes! |
Before the winners of the activities are announced, enjoy some extra downloads for everyone! The Prizes for All include two special C3/DS agents from Ghosthande: Consider these prizes to everyone who took the time to visit the CCSF these past two weeks! Enjoy! |

Frozen worlds are somewhat rare in the world of C3/DS, with winterized Creatures limited to a few metarooms. Fortunately, all that changes today with the release of Chione! This amazing add-on introduces a gigantic, snowy region for all sorts of Norns, Grendels, and Ettins to enjoy. Make sure to stop by and pick up this initial release! |
Many know that SpringRain submitted an image to be used for a coloring contest during the CCSF. Though there weren't too many entries, stop by to browse through the Coloring Contest Entries to see how two people colored in this image! Very nice! It's great to see everyone in the image come to life with different colors! |
We may have only had one writing prompt entry, but SpringRain wrote a very awesome story! Stop by the CCSF site to read this Writing Prompt Entry. Great work, indeed! |

Have a look at this great new Ettin breed concept from Lauren! The Ferret Ettins are designed for a life in the snow, complete with all sorts of abilities. Enjoy this drawing, along with the report about this Ettin breed! |

The final day of the CCSF is upon us! Finish up the main storyline with the last chapter, Frozen in Time. Today promises some final releases, along with the announcement of some winners! Don't miss out on the last day of the CCSF 2012! |
