Hey everyone,

After seeing some Blogs out there on the web and realising that they are something I truly enjoy, I was inspired to make one of my own.

If anyone is interested here is the link

And please feel free to post about your Creatures blogs here too

Mine is just new but I'm going to try to update it once or twice a month at least.

I set goals for myself to make it more interesting. And later I will probably expand into blogs for C2, C3 and so on.

Thank you to all the wonderful Creatures players out there for your fantastic blogs which I always enjoy reading. I hope this one will bless you as much as yours have been blessing me.

SpringRain <3

P.S. Please feel free to leave comments if you want to. I also welcome any Horse norns for C1 that you may want to send me to participate in my wee experiment.


I'm back after 11 years. Holy dooley!

That's great! :D
I love reading about how other people play, especially the earlier games. Will definitely be keeping an eye on this one in the future!

I was going to have you all find my blog, but I changed my mind. Here it is.

There's a URL spot given in your profile that you could put the link to your blog to, or you could also add it to the Community Links page. :) It's great to see all these new sites popping up! :)

How much content should a blog have before it is added to the links page?

I don't think it really matters - just that it's a Creatures blog. Personal sites about other things would probably be better suited to your profile page. :)

Since I have problem with replying on some blogs (sadly,no option for setting just name and e-mail >_> have to choose from google account etc etc - wich dosn't work for me propely here)
So I write it here instead:

For being a new blog,you had quite a lot to offer,and sure it was a great read allready! ^^
Just like all the other C-related neat Blogs out there (yes people,I do read your'e blogs now and then - I may not make myself heard or make myself known by replying or so,but oh yeah,I do read them... Im just that sneaky ;3 )

Anyhow XD
I wanted to say that as for the friendly grendel cob - I know there exist 2 versions - and out of the two - I had one that liked to crash randomly,and one I allways know I never get prob with.
I belive the one I stick to is the one that let you manualy set "friendly grendel" to "nasty nornal" set (no,that was not a typo,nornal instead of normal - realy )

if you want it,I guess it dosn't hurt to send you my copy,no?
Unless it is somewhere still around the net (probably,for sure,but i easily get confussed wich is wich sometime...or if you allready maybe have it,that is)

anyhow - just another side note about the super speech toy -
being an awesome cob,I would say it has it's little downside:
It crash if you (or creatures) activated it exact time when the game is about to save - making the world crash.

So, nowdays,to be on the safe side - I allways use the Nornica Encyclopedia books instead ^^'

It may be a bit more work,
being seperate 5 books,but good thing is,you can allways hang the book in the air not too high so they can't hear,but perhaps not too low so they push them..(meh they usuly manage to do it anyway - Allways eager for more knowledge,those little nornlings XD) and let the book teach out your'e group of norns,and return later to switch the book out to the next one - in the end,they all will know theyre vocabulary.

You can also "rewrite" words you don't think sound right.
example -> grendel in the book is known as "ugly" (how nice T_T')
and click on the pen and rename it easily back to Grendel.

As for the carrots,I just readed what Jessica mentioned - wich was a interessting fact for me as well,didn't know - but fun fact is - I can't use any of those cobs anyway - they crash before being able to be injected - strange indeed >_>
specialy the little angel doll (tried the olympis pack,or whatever it was called,and some of the stuff did work from there at least,but not the included teaching doll,not the other cobs either..hmm)

Phew that was that - all in all,
I am sure you have more interessting stuff for us to read :3
I see the creature blogs starts to be a nice trend here ^^

Maybe that is the way for me to also keep track on my C1 and C2 family note downs I done - because the way I do it is just similar to the likes of the blogs XD
Only that Im doing it via wordpad - type and paste in images...not the best choice,but meh,I couldn't find a better way ^^' )

anyhow - it's great to see so many nice creature blogs around - packed with much interessting and joyfull read:3

Will be looking forward for more ^^

Thanks a ton for the positive feedback everyone and thanks to GrayDragonEmily for posting her link too. I've added it to my favourites list now and can't wait to start reading. :)

Wow, NornGirl, that was a good response! Lol. I appreciate your helpful comments. It's a shame that a Google account wouldn't work for you. I found it really simple and easy to use. Just email and a password worked for me...

Hmm...

Anyway I'm glad for the warnings and advice about the different CoBs. I had no idea about that autosave thing with the super speech toy. Luckily, I have saved a copy of each Norn in my world so if my game does crash at least I won't lose them all. Although some will have to start over as babies depending on what life stage I saved them at. XD

Have you tried posting about your problem with using the CoBs in the help section here at Creatures Caves? There might be some way to solve the issue so that you could use them again.

I find that limiting the amount of CoBs in the world tends to cause the least trouble. If you have a lot injected at once, something always goes wrong. Lol.



I'm back after 11 years. Holy dooley!

No problem XD
well sure it is a simple thing - but this comp of mine is weird in general - all the simplest things does it make more complex @_@'

I had to struggle with it today again and had to disable some things to make flash run a bit smoother >_<'
-is using google chrome,is so better then explorer,yet lately it been uproaring againts me whenever im going to see youtube clips and such - giving me sillyness that flash stopped work and such-meh X_X' -

So now when I at least disabled one thing and made it..little more workable,I can try get back to you and see if I can reply (and any blog that use that new system) as I recall - before there was a option anonym - where you could write name and if wanted - link your'e own site link,if wanted...but maybe thats few blogs who have this option..or maybe this option is gone totaly O.o'

ah anyhow,Im glad that my advice can be helpful, I do belive actuly it was hinted in the super speech toy readme too that came with it - well mine,as far I remember at least - and that I had those crashes on myself too,without getting why,until finding that info ^^'

Hmm no I havem't,
it's because,I even tried clean worlds,no cobs at all,and trying to injects some of his cobs - often result to a direct crash X_X'

I only recall that the only cob that do work was everything from the olympic cob pack,except the teach angel doll thats also a part of i,as said before.

But I can't remember if it worked 100% like,without then sudden crash or so..hmm maybe shall try that one again - but Im pretty sure the others no go.

I had a few C1 cobs being like that for me - one of them is this frisbee one.I was allways curious how it would work ingame,but everytime I try inject it,crash -_-'

but other cobs I like a lot works fine for me,wich is more important for me :3

oh and yes - I heard that too much of cobs is not a good idea-as that make it prone for crashes a lot indeed.

ah well,but with that said and done,
glad to see a reply from you and
will be interessting to here more of this sweet chocolate er..horse norn
population of yourse : D
Im not sure if I have any special ones I could offer you at the moment,but I might have a look trough and if i do,I guess you maybe it would be of interesst,as I think you said it was ok to send you some if having any ,no?XD

(btwn:chocolate is what I allways call that breed of norn,I never could see the horse-likeness with them -even thought I think I know why people do call them that)

Wow, that's sucky. Sounds like your computer is one of those which likes lots of attention and melodrama. Ahaha! =^w^=

Got to love technology.

I'm not sure what I'm using but I think I didn't like Google Chrome because it was tricky to locate my favourites list and everything was moved around. So I'm using the one previous to that.

I think the option you mentioned is still available on BlogSpot (that's the blog software I'm using).

Whoops? Readme? What Readme? XD Sorry I really should have read that, shouldn't I? I used to be really diligent with reading them but this time around I admit I've been more impatient than usual.

Yipes! The frisbee is a CoB I also have yet have never injected. Thanks for the heads-up. Now I'll avoid using it in this world.

Too many CoBs is a recipe for disaster, as you might see in my newest post. XP Bleh...I feel exhausted just mentioning it.

Now that you mention it, calling that breed Chocolate Norns does seem to make more sense...but Horse Norns sounds cute also, so I'm going to stick with that. Hee hee.

Yes, I did say that any Horse (or Chocolate) Norns are very welcome in my world. :) I'd be delighted to have them if you'd like to send me one. They don't have to be special. They just have to be Horse/Chocolate breed entirely.

Does it count if it's mostly about other things, but has creatures content occasionally?

By the way, I don't care if anyone steals my ideas for their own work, as long as you don't try to stop me from making my own stuff. Many ideas I mention are things I don't have the time or skill to actually do.

I know that Amaikokonut's blog list seems to only include Creatures-specific blogs - is there a way to separate out the Creatures content on your blog, by using a tag or something?

I'm afraid I don't really know the answers to those questions. :/ Sorry...

I think it's okay to post your blog if it has Creatures content, since this is a website about them. But it would be very useful if there was a way to filter the content on the blog so you could view the Creatures stuff specifically.

I'm not sure if there is. Maybe someone else will know more or better. ^///^

OK, well, my blog is here:

In the search function in the top left corner, searching 'artificial life' will get you all my creatures related posts.

I just saw the new blogs this morning. I've bookmarked them and I'm looking forward to seeing some new updates. :)

My blog is linked to in my signature below - just click on the picture and it will take you there! You can use the tags on the right hand side of the journal to navigate to specific content (for instance, 'introduction' will take you to the very beginning and 'gene compare' will only show you genetic analysis posts).

Amaikokonut's blog list and side bar on Naturing : Nurturing is a great way of keeping up with all the blogs. :)
