Another Time || Day 4: These creatures are genuinely ALIVE!

 

Before we continue on with our adventures in ancient Albia, I wanted to take a second here to appreciate the Tip of the Day feature.

Another Time || Day 3: Benji

A message I sent to a very close friend of mine at roughly midnight last night:

"i have a norn named benji and while trying to teach him what food is he decided that food is also benji and now he's going around saying "Benji benji" and he's also taught the other norn to call food benji and i am going to lose my goddamn mind"

Crestfall || Moving Worlds... Again?!

 

Well, I can't say I saw this one coming!

I know, I know, we're in the middle of the CCSF here, and I'm in the middle of a Creatures 1 blog series... but I wanted to interrupt things very briefly to highlight that Docking Station is now officially available for free on Steam, with the Mall breeds and Science Kit available as free DLC, plus Creatures 3 as paid DLC!

You can check out the game's release announcement and a list of updates and bugfixes that were included with the release by clicking here!

Needless to say, as soon as the Steam release was available, I once again began the process of moving Crestfall. While it's not ideal to have to move worlds this many times, I'm really ecstatic about the Steam release and want to use it from now on! I'll be taking some time over the next day or two to move all of my favorite agents and breeds over, as well as getting all of the breed sprites back in order so that most of Crestfall's creatures should come out of the move unchanged.

Since C2toDS is probably also not an ideal location (unfortunately... as much as I love it...) for a large population like this right now, I'll go back to using the Ark, alongside maybe a smattering of small and interesting metarooms for my creatures to explore!

Real short update here, but that's all for now - I just wanted to help get the word about the Steam release out, in case anyone hadn't heard about it yet!!

Another Time || Day 2: Of Carrot Beetles and Discovery

 

After managing to successfully convince Darla and Benny to eat some food - or, at least, teaching them the word "food" and dangling it in front of them until they decided to eat it - I realized that the food sources around the nursery were starting to look a little thin!

Another Time || Day 1: Out of the Frying Pan

Now, where were we?

Oh, yeah, right...

I opened up a new world, and like so many others, I was greeted by the familiar sight of Albia, just as it was back then.

So many humans found their love for Creatures right here, in this tiny little nursery with its cozy machinery and endless opportunities. Now, it's my turn to give it a try and see what my first experience with Creatures in its purest, most classic form is like...

Another Time || Day 0 (Prologue)

 

I opened up a new world, and like so many others, I was greeted by the familiar sight of Albia, just as it was back then.

The cable car, clicking and clacking along as it moved back and forth. The buzzing of the bees to the left side of my screen. The gentle ticking of the clock hanging on the wall in the kitchen, even the lapping sounds of a raft pushing its way through a watery tunnel underground. 

These were all things I'd seen and heard many a time before, and as my brain moved my mouse towards the top of my screen, fully prepared to go to Muco the Egg Layer and create some Norns to fill this world with, I remembered where I actually was.

Uh-oh. I don't think I'm actually on the Capillata any more...

Crestfall || Moving Worlds

 

Sometimes, you just gotta pick up and go somewhere else. Y'know?
