is disappointed in the decision by Fishing Cactus not to allow mutation in the animations and movement of the Creatures 4 Norns, and that Fishing Cactus does not have plans to implement this in the near future.

Andrea Di Stefano, a Fishing Cactus employee, responded to a query about Silly Walks thusly:

Andrea Di Stefano wrote:
Indeed at the moment we're not reproducing mutations on animations and movement, and we don't have plans to do this in the near future.
Once the game is released we intend to poll the community regularly about new features so there's always a chance! [ngrin]



An official Creatures 4 poll may be conducted in the future, and the Ministry urges all fans of Silly Walks in Norns to let their voices be heard.

I like the premise of this topic! [nlaugh]

I get the impression that in the new, more 3D animation system with its range of environments, gait mutations might actually end up being advantageous, and could be selected for either naturally or artificially. I'm sure there would be far more that would be crippling or, as you imply, simply look foolish, but that's no reason to do away with the possibility. I'm certainly with you on this one.

Nah, the Ministry may be disappointed, but I couldn't care less - CFE norns have their gait and pose genes set to non-mutable and I really appreciate it. I do wonder about the nuts and bolts of how they've adapted the movement to 3D, but hopefully it's been achieved in a non-hardcoded way to allow for future expansion. :)
