Love the revamp? Want to share your glee with other enthusiastic members?
All of us in CC Chat do, so find us in the brand new Community section! Come and celebrate the all-new Creatures Caves with us! Pepsi, our resident Norn bot, has balloons and party hats for everyone. |
The brand-new Creatures Caves is now here! I hope everyone likes the new design and many new features. This is our first full redesign since 2004, and it took place in honor of Creatures 4, which will be released in Q4 2012.
A quick overview of some new features:
- You may now post comments on all website posts, including: news, COBs, creatures, metarooms, links, polls, advice, etc.
- There is an "Updates" section in MyCaves which tells you all of the new posts that have been posted since your last visit to the Updates page
- All of the search boxes now allow you to search by author, subjects and descriptions. Finding COBs and metarooms is now easier than ever!
- And many more!
If you have any questions about new features or where to find old ones, please feel free to post in this corresponding forum thread. |
Don is holding a poll to nominate the co-ordinators for the CCSF 2012, so cast your vote here.
Voting will be open for one week, and will close on the 6th of August. Feel free to vote for multiple people if you wish, as there will be more than one co-ordinator!
The poll has been reset, so if you voted before Tuesday (July 31), you will need to cast your vote again. |
Gameware Development have redesigned their site, including promotional materials for Creatures 4, but retaining some artwork from C1 and DS. |
Annex is trying to release the new and improved Borg Norns for this year's CCSF! He is looking to form a small group of people to get things completed. The team is currently in need of a Sprite Artist, CAOS Engineer and Genetics Engineer to help out.Annex wrote: If you are interested in being part of this project over the next couple of months and feel you have the skills to take on some of the outlined duties, let me know! A track record of producing strong content would be a real plus! Check out the Borg Norn Development Group thread for the full details on this exciting project! |
Today brings us happy news from The Grove forum!
Jessica wrote: Thanks to JTGibson over on the GOG forums, TreeSprite has opened up guest downloads at The Grove! Previously, these downloads were restricted to registered users, so hopefully this is good news for many! The majority of the downloads can be found on Floral's Fancy - Creatures Keepsakes. Enjoy!
I believe a lot of these downloads are available elsewhere online, but it's always good to have another source! One agent I've often mentioned is Bobingabout's New Signpost System... Now it's available! So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to The Grove and grab your rarities for Creatures.  |
Today is the birthday of our beloved friend, and author of Discover Albia, Jessica!  |
After three months of work, Mea has completed the background for the wintry metaroom in progress, Chione!
You can view a larger version of the background at Caos of the Creatures Realm. |
With the encouragement and advice of a few helpful CCer's, I decided to let everyone know of my brand new Creatures Blog, and share the link here for anyone who's interested.

At Discover Albia, Jessica writes:
I am very pleased to unveil a brand new look for CreatureLink! Not only did the site receive an upgraded appearance, but it should now be much easier to navigate. Several C3/DS Norns who were previously unadopted have been added again, and there should be a bunch of new Norns added by the middle of next week.
Updates should be more frequent, and there are also plans to bring everyone together in the future with a few events. Enjoy the new site, and please feel free to adopt! There are a lot of Creatures 1 Norns who would love new homes, including a few with interesting mutations. Thanks to everyone who has become a part of CreatureLink so far!
And I think the redesign looks fantastic. Be sure to visit and see if you can give any Norns a brand new home! |
For my twentieth birthday, I decided to update one of my older breeds. Now, the Moonshadow Grendels V2 are up to my current standards and my finest work yet.
With the included agent, they can become invisible - good thing too, as they're very frail and somewhat cowardly. Regardless, they make for excellent norn hunters if you need a grendel to whittle down your population.
Download the Moonshadow Grendels V2 at the Realm, and enjoy! |

After a little extra time, the updated male Grendels for Creatures 1 are now available for download at Discover Albia! This update includes body data and sprites for the baby, adult, and elder life stages. Many minor updates have been made to improve both the appearance and gait of the males. Feedback is most appreciated at this point: The female Grendels will be based off of these files, and will be the next big project! Enjoy this improvement for those loveable Creatures 1 Grendels! |
