Over the course of my time as a CC member, I've made over 100 genetic breeds. Of course, I still like tinkering around with genes. That's where another problem comes in. With all the breeds I've made, I've pretty much exhausted all of my ideas. As such, I figured I'd open this thread and give this community a little more activity. Here, you simply suggest ideas for genetic breeds, and if I like the idea enough there's a good chance I'll turn it into reality. Note that I am asking for ideas for genetic breeds. I can't make sprites or body data, so unless you want to do those for me I can't make a full fledged breed. Also, I do most of my development for Creatures 3/Docking Station, although I might also do a breed or two for C1 as well. No requests for C2 breeds, though. So, if you have an idea for a breed, post it here and see what happens.  Risen Angel's Creatures Blog |

Some ideas off the top of my head: Wendigo Grendel: Tiger grendel torso and head, sabertooth norn arms, legs and tail. Grayish-white tint. Loves cold, and eating. Like in the myth, is almost imposable to kill "I.E. immortal", but can't breed. Very very aggressive, and norn-killing. Comes with some kinds of agents that lower the temperature and add snow. DS G.A.I.A.: I know someone already ported gaia, but this is different. It doesn't use shipboard bioenergy, so it's not always hungry, but has it's own digestive system, and all else it needs to live in an undocked world. Aquaion Ettins: Pink poodle ettin sprites, but with pigment bleed set to give them a deep blue-green tint. Can swim with the aquanorn agent, live very long but don't breed much, and love eating critters. Has a few watery plants and critters. Albian Guard Grendel: A grendel using banshee sprites, that has the following traits: 1. Utterly loyal to the hand 2. Has backups of organ systems, almost unkillable 3. Short to moderate lifespan 4. Breeds quickly 5. Can eat all sorts of weird things, and not get sick 6. Gathers gadgets, rather then eggs C3DS bony grendel: An adaptation of the C2 bony grendel to C3DS that doesn't explode when it moves due to bad atts, and acts like it's C2 counterpart. "note, if you chose to do the last three we'll we need to ask norngirl if it's alright" Gryme Grndel: Basicly, norngirl's gryme grendels converted to C3DS. They already have sprites after all. http://www.paradiziaplace.com/gryme.html Glettin C3DS: Norngirl's glettins for C3DS http://www.paradiziaplace.com/glett.html C1 ettin to C3DS: Norngirl's C1 ettin for c3ds http://www.paradiziaplace.com/c1ettin_forc2.html |

You may want to edit that list Sam. He said genetic breeds, not converts or anything of the sort. |

I would like to see C1-style norns. That is, norns that are more dependent on the hand to survive. This is such a huge part of the reason C3/DS were not as successful, and if you could create a genome that is more like C1's, I suspect people might play a bit more. Basically, make C3/DS less like a lab experiment or an ant farm, and more like you're caring for a creature. - Liam / K'aeloree Spellhold Studios, a Baldur's Gate II, Neverwinter Nights and Oblivion Modding Community |

Sam: Razgriz is right. It really doesn't matter if a breed already has sprites; I still can't make body data. I also can't make the sprites for all the extra agents you suggested, which means I can't do those either unless someone feels like doing sprites. On the other hand though, the DS GAIA, Aquaion Ettins, and Albian Guard Grendels all sound interesting. Just don't expect agents if I decide to do the ettins. Liam: I should have figured that suggestion would have come up sooner or later. I might try doing such a breed, but I really prefer watching my creatures rather than having to tend to their needs every five seconds. Risen Angel's Creatures Blog |

There are many breeds from C2 that are being converted or that could be. And have Grendel_Man do the genetics would be amazing, if someone else was doing the rest. @Sam, I think someone already made body data to fix the Boney Grendels. Lost Content, help find it a home! |

I'd like to see norns without the need to push lifts, machinery, and doors when they get bored! *personal pet peeve* Like Liam said, I wish the norns needed a little more TLC. I'm not sure that they should be any less smart, just more... cute? I find that it's hard for me to get too attached to most norns - Treehuggers are the notable exception, because they're so vulnerable to disease and homesickness, so they require more care. Maybe something in a similar vein to that? Also, I think this was being done but never got completed/released (correct me if I'm wrong), but I'd love to see norns that formed life-long pair bonds, like penguins or humans do. |

I think I remember that project. I believed it turned out to be impossible because of the engine. EDIT: That reminds me, a breed that is better at learning but that is less self-sufficient would be cool. Basically, you would have to teach them how to live, but once you managed that they could handle themselves for the most part. Maybe make them really like the hand too or something. I tried doing this myself once, but I don't understand a lot of the subtleties of genetics very well. |

Isn't that what the Gizmo genetic breed is? |
