If I could make breeds....

I would probably make an Asari norn, based on the alien race from the Mass Effect games. They're beautiful and all female.

What kind of breed would you make if you could?

That would be an interesting breed. I would also be open to cats too, although the Creatures 4 norns have a cat-like appearance to me.

Something resembling a firefox would be cute. Or a fennec fox. :)

My favorite breeds were always the ones that could swim or fly. For example, mernorns and butterfly norns in Creatures 2. I was also disappointed that there weren't more breeds like this for C3/DS when I was playing Creatures frequently.

So yeah, I would create flying/swimming breeds. :D

The yellow cheetah-spotted Astro Norns that I mentioned on the wiki.

Agreed with Rascii. That and I gotta say I loved the diversity in the 3rd party C2 breeds. I loved ones with weird parts like the Draco and Scorpio norns, also loved colorful ones like Flora Norns, that way you could make the coolest crosses.

As a whole new breed though, I always wanted something that had another "extreme" appearance, something not too norn-y and a bit more beastly or showy. I got tired, real tired, of the new "breeds" that came out looking like a new genome, or looking like someone dabbled in MS Paint.


LOL speaking of which, anyone remember the Cheap norns?!! :D


-Karias; a bit fruity and gone bananas in the wrong climate! :D

I agree with Geek2Nurse that a fox-inspired norn would be lovely. :)

I'm actually currently working on a breed which aims to fulfil a few wishes of mine (and so far it is all working out nicely!). I will be releasing a beta version of it soon for feedback. Though I must apologise to Karias in advance - the current breed appearance is a mixture of 'official' body parts recoloured desaturated blue (female) and purple (male) so not really all that exciting!

I think I'd like a wolf-like breed, with dark, rich colours and high pack instincts. Perhaps a wolf-like grendel, actually, that would hunt in packs. I love the idea of a fennec (fox) norn, though.

But a wolf grendel breed I think would be awesome.

No fennec, but I did concept these at one time. Never went past the concept stage, though. I have too much on my plate. :( Maybe they'll serve an inspiration or something.

Ooh, I love the one with bangs, Moe. [heart] I don't think I'm ready to tackle breeds just yet...my latest agent project (spreading ivy) is currently straining my neurons to their limits. :P

Augh, Moe! How can you not have time for them? They're too cute not to make into a breed!

Or... at least... did you ever get any further than rendering the head sprites? Because being the sorry hoarder I am, I still have those on my PC...

Oh I DID render the head sprites, didn't I. :o Well if I got that far I should finish them at some point. Huh.

Edit: Oh crap wait... I think I destroyed them in a format. Ugh. I'd have to remake them.

Double Edit: Oh wait nevermind! I saved them on my external drive. Clever me. :)

I hope so, otherwise I might be tempted to. [evil]
And I still have two at least three breeds on my own plate.

Time always seems to be the big issue. With time, I would perhaps have made the dino norns as well... But those image files are long gone, and the concept near forgotten...

Oh wow Moe, those heads are great! You must have put a lot of time into them. I love the female's hair. :)

I'm not surprised so many breeds fall to the wayside half-way through creation. When you look at the number of sprites needed, it's quite intimidating! I've found that even just making basic recolours like I've done takes more time than you'd think (and that's with batch automation doing most of the hard work for me!). Making your own custom 3d model or painstakingly drawing each individual sprite must take days and days.
