General Forum The Creatures 4 World   1 | 2 Lollipop Lord C-Rex        3/24/2012 Judging from the screenshots and videos, do you reckon that Creatures 4 will take place on Albia, Sphericus, or maybe a new world altogether? I haven't heard anything from Fishing Cactus about the new world... yet, and I think it would be interesting to hear what the Creatures Community thinks of it. I'm also looking forward to see the other environments Fishing Cactus have planned for the game.   Feddlefew   3/24/2012 I want to say Sphericus because the FC team has mentioned they want to expand on the Shee and the back story a bit. I'd like to see some more of the environments, like what kinds of food sources are available? Are some areas harder to survive in than others? Do you think there will be a world switcher of some kind?   Jessi   3/24/2012 I would speculate Sphericus as well, as it would make sense given the locations of the previous games, and we know that is where the Shee were heading after Albia. I think it would be interesting if the Master Shee is actually in the game though, as generally we only see the world after it had been abandoned. I'm curious to see how this will be implemented. ~ Jessi's Cobs ~~ Creatures Documentations ~   Norngirl     3/24/2012 I am not sure...perhaps a new world? I still don't agree with them,mainly what Andrea Di Stefano said (On Master Shee) *************************** Quote: "It is also a very conscious decision to not make the Shee too alien: the Creatures 4 world is pretty alien already and we wanted Master Shee to be a character that players could understand and, in a way, relate to" **************************** I don't see the first world being alien-like at all - chameleons?Giant Tree house with ladders and a hang lift? Well -so far it look as homely as C1...or even CA >_>' But there is 4 more worlds (areas?) To go.. Hopefuly they probably fit the bill more XD If they want something alien like- I'd say go and look up and play the old,yet amazing Ps2 /Gamecube game known as Scaler or "Scaler: The Shapeshifting chameleon" - now those areas and inhabitants are alien like,I tell you! *Don't let the title fool ya ;P * If my fav videoclip was still around, I would put the link here...but it's down as far I tried to find it again T_T as for worldswitcher? I would say that would be great..but I have my doubts...probably be the typical "choose server"...kind of thing that may act as it...or meh who knows I just hope the areas won't be broke up to parts like in the GBA Creatures game was - "achieve this goal and congrats! Now you can move on to next area and fill it up with more colorful mogwais...er norns" O.o I think it's okay if they do it the way C3/DS and the Psx creature-raised in space is - doors leading to the other areas..still I like it better if the entire world is linked togheter.. Select world wise could work too - but I find it silly if one of the world is just the treehouse,and only the treehouse,nothing underneath it or more to see - such as a garden under it etc etc..know what I mean? We know there will be a cave area and a aquatic area,or so I remember it was said.. So one Treehouse,one Cave and one Aquatic world/area...now what could the 2 remaining ones be? Im going to guess on a swamp and a desert at least..because thats what was in C2 and C3 at least *shrugs*   Prodigal Sock Ghosthande     3/24/2012 I agree. Wasn't it always the assumption (before there was a C4 in the works) that any 3D Creatures game would take place on the 3D world Creatures Labs had already essentially foreshadowed? And now we know we'll have Shee, when it was explained to us that they weren't present in the previous games precisely because they had all gone to Sphericus. I know these are only two points in my favor, but I still have a hard time seeing the C4 environment as not being Sphericus, only because it fits so well. The animals shown so far certainly aren't "alien" compared to what we're used to, but then, the Ark was apparently built to ferry the native Albian species to Sphericus, so seeing familiar animals there isn't too strange.   Lollipop Lord C-Rex     3/24/2012 I myself hope it is Sphericus, mainly so it is canon to the previous games. I do wonder though if Fishing Cactus are considering carrying on the Creatures storyline; if they offered a full-length story regarding the events after the Lone Shee met the Banshee it would be a real surprise. Also, has anyone who's read the DS story noticed the Lone Shee hates the colour orange, and the fact that Master Shee is orange? Maybe they're rivals!   Malkin Manager     3/25/2012 I think one of the remaining 'mystery' areas is the hatchery. In the Fishing Cactus blog, in the after shot (BIG), you can see a few monitors displaying a red volcano - I hope this is the last mystery area! My TCR Norns   Patient Pirate ylukyun Manager   3/26/2012 I think that's just a default Windows background   Prodigal Sock Ghosthande     3/26/2012 Yeah, that's just the desktop wallpaper. You can see the monitor on the left has desktop icons, even.   Lodestar Doringo     3/27/2012 There should seriously be a volcano though that actually erupts properly rather then that volcano in Creatures 3, therefore it can harm your norns.   Caves Dweller Rascii Administrator     3/27/2012 All of this debate about the new world is getting me really excited for C4. So far all I've seen is the tree area, but I'm really hoping there are many more spaces for game play! - Rascii   Prodigal Sock Ghosthande     3/27/2012 I'd love to see a dynamic world with "real" disasters like volcanic eruptions, flooding, etc... it just wouldn't be fair unless the Norns were smart enough to do things like avoid the volcanoes or move to higher ground in a flood.   Lodestar Doringo     3/27/2012 Probably make it depend on the area or something in options.   Malkin Manager     3/27/2012 Aww, just a background? I got all excited there at the thought. My TCR Norns   Feddlefew   3/27/2012 I hope they include plenty of food plants and animals that were programed with being eaten in mind, so that their populations stay stable even without norns noming on them.   Don     3/29/2012 Sphericus was 'fully' 3D and Albia has a different map that we are all familiar with, so this must be a new set of locations from a new world. Don AmberCreatures   Jessica     3/29/2012 I'm pretty sure this will be a whole new world. I asked Andrea Di Stefano about the name of the world in an e-mail back in February, and he stated: "Can’t [give] the name for the new C4 location yet unfortunately." Lots of mystery! I like how Fishing Cactus has taken Creatures and made it their own, though. I know we don't know much about it yet, but it seems like they're not merely copying everything from C3/DS. Obviously, some elements will be similar, but I'm pretty happy with the uniqueness they're trying to go with. I guess time will tell if it works out! Discover Albia   Lollipop Lord C-Rex     3/29/2012 @Ghosthande It would be great if C4 had a weather system as tt would also provide a chance for evolution too, such as a period of time where there would be a flood, only the Norns that could breathe under water for the longer amount of time would survive.   Marti     4/9/2012 I hope there will be night and day! and i hope the world is not too small...if all areas are as small as the one in this preview..!   Lollipop Lord C-Rex     5/2/2012 @Marti: I got that impression too, but if you look carefully there's an elevator to the right.   vulcan     5/5/2012 I agree with Ghosthande and C-Rex about the dynamic world. This is a big part of the game and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it turns out.   Feddlefew   5/11/2012 So, any word on if we'll be able to have more than one world file like in C3/DS?   mip     5/14/2012 It's interesting that the new world doesn't have a known name yet. I agree with those that say that it implies a different planet to Albia. Perhaps this is where the Shee Ark landed or perhaps it is another world found through the Warp? I hope that we can have more than one world file. Being restricted to one may make you take more care with your norns but it could also pigeonhole you into either playing in a nurturing style or purely wolf running. Then again, as a free online game, this problem could probably be circumvented by registering a different account for each world. Still, it is more hassle than simply being able to make different worlds. Exploring the Ark A journal for C3/DS - updated last: 5 May 2013   Malkin Manager     7/2/2012 Andrea Di Stefano has confirmed that C4 will be set on Sphericus! My TCR Norns   Patient Pirate ylukyun Manager   7/4/2012   Hebi   7/4/2012 Are the Banshee still part of the mythology if Sphericus is our new planet? Ooooooooooweeeeeeeeeeoooooooooo   althalus99   7/7/2012 Ooh... I really hope so! That would be cool! Unless Fishing Cactus did something stupid with them, but I have every have in these guys. Viva las Vegas - or not, it's up to you.   Malkin Manager     7/7/2012 Nothing is currently planned with the Banshee, but they may do something in the future. My TCR Norns   SpringRain   7/18/2012 To have night and day more noticeable in the game would be very good, so long as you can still see enough when it's 'dark'. Lol. It'd be fun if we could have 'glow in the dark' or 'light up' creatures. I would also love the addition of some proper weather systems that change with the seasons and give us and the creatures more challenges. I liked the hint about the Norns being more diverse and customisable in their temperaments and types. I.e. their 'genomes', I think it's called. The world did look very bright and colourful though - I hope it's not going to be too easy to explore. I'm back after 11 years. Holy dooley!   Lodestar Doringo     7/25/2012 One thing that seems missing to me is a laboratory/machinery area, as far as I know every game except for creatures 1 and creatures adventures (standalone) has one.   jcnorn   8/5/2012 Mostly I am hoping there will be a proper water-part of the world. So far the games has really lacked these and we have had to lean on the gorgeously made CC the community have come up with. But it would be nice with something in game already that we could enjoy   Caves Dweller Rascii Administrator     9/6/2012 It seems that the new Beach environment should quench your thirst for a proper water area, jcnorn. - Rascii   Lollipop Lord C-Rex     10/2/2012 New Information from Fishing Cactus: 1) What's the Music like? - We want to have clear themes for each environment. I don’t remember the music from Village but we never took Village as an inspiration so I doubt they sound alike. 2) Are Norns confined to each world? - Right now they are confined but that could change. 3) Will there be a Warp system? - Something like that. At first you’ll be able to exchange eggs. Exchanging Norns with other players will come later. 4) Can Norns catch diseases? - yes   Caves Dweller Rascii Administrator     10/2/2012 What do you think he meant that norns are confined to each world? Does that mean that they can't be exported and then imported into another game? Or does it mean that each environment is totally separate from the others? i.e. cave norns can't go to the beach Thanks for the update, C-Rex - Rascii   Arovovo   10/2/2012 Well I sure hope he does not mean that creatures can't leave their environment I might throw a fit I just hope somebody will make an agent to fix that of course I know nothing about that so I couldn't help   Prodigal Sock Ghosthande     10/2/2012 I'm also curious as to what they mean about Norns being confined to certain worlds. It could just be that the Norns can't travel to and from different worlds at will, but require the player to take them there. That wouldn't necessarily be a huge issue to me if it's the case, especially if any of the breeds have environmental requirements. In that case, limiting autonomous migration could be in the Norns' own best interest.   prev | 1 | 2 | next
