You can now post new COBs/agents.

Apologies for the delaying in fixing these critical functions!

Thank you to everyone who still uses the site. [heart]

Also, Happy Halloween! Feel free to check out our home-made Halloween Pumpkin COB from 2004. :D

This little toy is what seems to be a friendly little Jack-O-Lantern, but keep an eye out for a surprise when it is actived by your norns! Images by Rascii, coding by edash.

And if you want to play Cards Against Nornity during the festival, you can give us your availability here! It'll be livestreamed on my Twitch channel (provided we have at least three players).

GeneForge for C3/DS!   Freylaverse | 9/15/2023discuss  1 comment  1  log in to like post  8

Introducing Geneforge!

Geneforge is a set of tools for Blender that automates much of the tedium of breed making, automating sprite creation and atts, giving people the tools to create without thousands of hours of work. Exporting to PNG, with a second button to convert to c16, with proper naming for a slot/genus of your choice!

Converting att's for a given breed with the push of a button!

Using the provided model, you can texture it with the provided UV maps and create the norn breeds in the same style as Creatures Labs! Adding things like hair is easy too (tutorials to follow). You can download it here!

The video below gives brief setup information:



I'm also proud to release the Kitten Kaboodle, a pack of norn breeds made using the Geneforge! They are based on Russian Blue, Calico, Tabby, and Tuxedo cats. They're featured in the video and can be downloaded here!

Only a few slots left for the CCSF 2023 Wolfling Run!

Sorry for the lack of updates here on festival things! Fortunately I think most people got the memo about the polls via Discord. But just in case you haven't, there are six slots remaining for the CCSF 2023 Wolfling Run! You can submit a norn for the run here!

EDIT: All wolfling run slots are now filled! Thank you to everyone who submitted a norn!



This video has some info on the run itself, particularly new options included on the form: Rotation and Swap.

As for the festival itself, you can send your submissions to EemFoo on Discord, or to freya.creatures@gmail.com

Happy Pride   Rascii | 6/4/2023discuss  comment  log in to like post  6

Happy PRIDE! month to everyone!

As a fun contest, we're looking for a pride month-inspired redo of our title image. If you have a submission, please reply to this thread. :)

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I must thank everyone in the creatures community for always being accepting of others and celebrating our differences. [heart]
 
Creatures 2 Community Edition   Malkin | 5/8/2023discuss  comment  log in to like post  5

For the past couple of months, Lisdude has been doing some tinkering to improve the stability of Creatures 2, both on modern hardware and just in general.

https://lisdude.com/Creatures/Community/

The website has all of the information you should need to get started. These updates take the form of a binary patch that you apply to your original executable. It's compatible with the Steam edition, GoG edition, Albian Years, and C2 Deluxe.
 
Recent Website Issues   Rascii | 5/8/2023discuss  1 comment  1  log in to like post  1

We have been having some recent website issues which are related to the host and we do apologize for the inconvenience. The majority of the problems should be corrected now, but if you come across any partially loading pages or errors or other issues, please do leave a comment on this news page or reply to the associated forum thread.

On a separate but related note, due to escalating costs and the time involved in correcting hosting issues, we're considering putting ads on the website. While we would like to avoid this at all costs, it is an option which must be considered.

If you enjoy Creatures Caves and would like to see it continue to be ad-free, please do take a moment to donate securely using PayPal. Every dollar, euro, pound, yen etc makes a difference. Thank you!


 
The Norn Swarm is Live!   Freylaverse | 3/9/2023discuss  3 comments  3  log in to like post  13

The Norn Swarm is Live!Intended as a spiritual successor to Aiko's Live Nornish Action, the Norn Swarm is a (hopefully) 24/7 livestream of Creatures Docking station. It uses the Natsue warp system and anyone can send in their creatures. Please be nice, though, and don't flood my world. [nwink] I expect I'll run into problems as I try to manage this, but we'll get through it all together!

You can watch the Norn Swarm directly on my Twitch channel or on creatures.neocities.org. I realized back in October that I must've snagged that awesome url as a kid, and I just knew I had to use it for something, haha!

EDIT: Oh, and I almost forgot! A massive thank you to Aiko for lending some of the LNA tools! ;)

Happy Creatchi-versary   Rascii | 2/9/2023discuss  1 comment  1  log in to like post  9

Creatchi: An Online Creatures Experience
This coming April 16 will be the tenth anniversary of Creatchi. :D

In honor of the anniversary, everyone who is active on the site should adopt a Creatchi and we can see how many total were raised between now and the Creatchi-versary.

If you have any thoughts on how else to celebrate, please reply in the comments.

Ever wanted to take care of a norn, grendel or ettin while browsing Creatures Caves? Well, now you can! Allow me to introduce an all-new website feature here at Creatures Caves: Creatchi, the online Creatures game. You may select a Creatchi egg to hatch a new, random Creatchi, or you may adopt an offspring of some community users' Creatchis (available in the future after some Creatchis have already bred). Please read the Official Creatchi Care Guide for more information.

Special thanks to Ghosthande for creating all of the incredible sprites.


 
Thank You   Rascii | 2/2/2023discuss  comment  log in to like post  6

I would just like to extend a heartfelt 'thank you' to all of those who have generously donated to Creatures Caves over the past few years.

It's thanks to folks like you that we have always been advertisement free. :) I'm still in awe that after more than two decades, people are still checking the site regularly and actively engaging. The Creatures community is a very special place. :)


For those of you who are as nostalgic for days past as I am, take a walk down memory lane to see how our website looked back in 2002. :D So many fond memories over so many years.

If you enjoy the site and would like to help keep it ad-free, feel free to donate by clicking the link below. Every penny/pence makes a difference. :)


 
Creatures Caves Under Attack   RisenAngel | 1/25/2023discuss  1 comment  1  log in to like post  2

A troll has been flooding the forums with multiple spam topics, starting with simple pettiness but now graduating to active malice such as shock images.

The staff is doing what they can to alleviate the issue, but for your safety please be extremely cautious about what topics you open, and don't open any messages from members you do not recognize.
