The success of Laura's column, Ask laura, is spreading all over the communtiy! She has recently been featured in the Creatures Community Spirit Festival in an exclusive new interview. There is also a Best of Ask Laura article featuring many of her personal favorites. Be sure to check out all of these awesome updates as well as the other great features of the official CCSF website! |
The Creature Repository wants YOU... to send in all your Norns, Ettins, and Grendels! It is a new site (created my myself) that is attempting to collect and make available as large a collection of creatures as possible. Signup is easy and submission of creatures is automatic. Help our collection grow by visiting us here! |
A new breed of norns for Creatures 2 was released today by nornenmeister. You can head over to the German Creatures site's downloading page by clicking here.
"The Rainbow Norns are a very colourful breed. These bright colours are mirroring the pleasure Creatures gave to many players for the past 10 years. They are a little similar to a rainbow shining in the sun ? just like Creatures. The male and the female just differ in their eye colour. The male has dark eyes, the female red ones. Their tail is opulently swung, just like the pleasure Creatures gives to us every day. Both sexes are available as a baby, child and adult. The Rainbow Norns have the Golden Desert genome by Creature Labs, and occupy Norn Slot R." |
...when you can simply have one lull you to sleep? A cute, fuzzy, little sheep that lulls your creatures to sleep is now available from Trix at The Universe of Ettins! With a soothing song to listen to, your creatures will never have to count sheep again! This agent was previously available on the Grendel mother, but now has brand spankin' new sprites. Available for Creatures 3 and Docking Station. |
Another new metaroom has been released for the Festival! This is almost too much excitement for one week. The Aquatilis Pod is now available for your Docking Station enjoyment. The room seems to be a smaller version of the Aquatilis Caverna metaroom, available for players who weren't enticed by the monstrous size of the original. You may read a review of the room in the CCSF official website's articles section, or directly download the file by clicking here! |
Trix has been working like crazy to keep up with her daily additions for the Spirit Festival! On the first day, she released the revamp of The Universe of Ettins, which now has an awesome yellow theme.
Her second gift to the community was a new Ettin genome that allows the creatures to smile. Known only as "Happy Ettins", these little buggers will be sure to brighten every norn's day.
As if those two updates weren't enough, Trix has also released an all new C3/DS Norn breed: AKATORA NORNS. These norns have a bondi-based genome which was created by Knux. Their physical appearance consists of dark red bodies with orange-yellow bellies, hands, feet and tails. They have extremely black, pointy hair which is riddled with feathers that grow more numerous as they age. This awesome new breed is currently available here! |
In honor of the CC Spirit Festival, an all-new meta room was released for Creatures 3/Docking Station! There isn't very much information about it on the official website, but be sure to take a look.
Terra Pluvialis... a floating rock in space, discovered by a rather homesick Shee named Terasumaren and left for many thousands of years, is something of a jungle... but it is not your usual jungle.

Happy CCSF everyone! Since I've been away for such a long time, I thought it would be best if I posted a notice that I'm going to be participating in the CCSF this year.
Me is Trix, a strange, warped ettin fanatic that likes the colour orange - which everyone knows is too happy to be anything but insane, for anyone who would not know. I have a download a day for the coming festival among which are 6 new breeds!!! Yes, 6! I amazed myself. So visit http://www.ettin-trix.be for previews and updates ^^ |
First of all, I want to apologise for the significant lack of activity on the column recently. I went on an emergency hiatus, to allow me to concentrate fully on my A Level exams - these will determine my future to some degree, whether I move onto university or go into full-time employment, so they are rather important. The other reason is the unforeseen infestation of relentless (and I mean relentless!) spam bots. Hopefully Rascii will be able to ban these automated scripts from submitting to the column.
I just want to thank you all for being patient beyond the boundaries of patience. You are all wonderful and I can reassure you that business will recommence again soon, once the column's backlog and the spam bot submissions have been tidied up. I'm afraid however, that I might not be able to deal with any existing questions, as we may have to wipe the backlog completely.
When the column returns to normal, feel absolutely free to submit the tongue in cheek, clever questions we all enjoy reading and I, with a
Ask Laura Greener Than Green Pen? in my paw and my magical helper Doozers by my side, will attempt to answer them to the best of my ability.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding!
Laura, your apologetic agony aunt. |
NornenMeister's new Grendel breed is ready for download:
The Plasma Grendels! Check them out here. |
As you can see, I kept my promise and got the forums back up! So head on over there and post away! If you have and problems or find any errors please message me ASAP so I can get them fixed.
Also, I fixed the address books which weren't working, so please feel free to use them again. All of your previous contacts should be saved. Enjoy! |
The Creatures Community Spirit Festival will be here in less than a month,
which means its time to get your agents, breeds, and metarooms in to the coordinators ready for release this August!
Some of the confirmed releases this year include Aquatilis Caverna V2, The Canopy, the Fire project, the Fairyfloss norns and more- excited yet?
And if that isn't enough, there will be competitions and games galore this festival- if you would like to help with any of this, just contact Liam and Don at the below address.
Hope to see you there!
If you have a new breed, metaroom, agent, website, article, or anything you would like to either be featured and released during the CCSF or to appear as a festival fairground competition prize then please
contact Liam, and he'll get back to you ASAP.

Just to let you know that I have officially started work on the Balrog norns. I've decided to use Geat slot H and they will feature cool new sprites, a vicious new genome, an expansion to the C2 volcano and some new objects. |
As seen over in the Albia2000 forums, Infera Caldera is currently in production. You can view the project page here. |
