CCSF 2012 Day 14: Chione

Created by Mea for C3/DS (Metaroom)

What better way to celebrate a frozen world than to actually bring one to your game? Chione is a gigantic icy-themed metaroom that has been discussed at Creatures Caves for a long time, with the original idea coming from Sam999. Many have helped with this project, and this initial version should give those cold weather Creatures something to enjoy and claim as their brand new home, with plenty of space!

From Mea: "This is just the very basic version of the room without the teleporters and door. There will probably be an add-on pack later that will include the teleporters and door for getting around and into Chione."

CCSF 2012 Day 8: Oasis

Created by Liam and Moe for C3/DS (Metaroom)

For those Norns, Grendels, and Ettins who live underwater, a brand new area is just waiting to be explored! Oasis is a circular metaroom complete with a small beach and aquatic area teeming with life! Not only are there new sharks, fish, and coral to discover, but the metaroom also includes several new toys. It's a perfect place for Creatures of all ages to enjoy the water! See if you can find some of the new items in Oasis, such as:

Beach Ball
Inner Tube
Shark
Submarine Toy

From Moe: "Oasis was originally a test-bed for my early coding experiments, specifically with aquatic life (swimming agents, ecosystems, etc). It's over 5 years old and frankly was never meant to be released, except that Liam thought it was pretty and releasable. I agreed with him and figured someone else might enjoy it (if only for the looks, yes). It's a "might as well" release. It was NOT designed for Creatures to live in: It was designed for my own personal testing. It was also not particularly polished (it was just a test-bed, after all). It was not meant to be a well-thought-out room. Just something pretty to play with that I decided to share."

CCSF 2012 Day 6: Primordia Redux

Created by Ghosthande for DS (Metaroom)

Hidden beneath the jungle, a prehistoric type of world was uncovered during today's journey! Primordia Redux is a new metaroom for C3/DS that features a wonderful area for Banshee Grendels, as well as other Grendels. Not only is it a large region, but it also boats a myriad of different critters and plant life to truly make it a new experience! Some may remember the original Primordia, yet this expands upon it exponentially. Included in the download are the following:

This metaroom includes many new features geared towards providing Grendels with a new place to call their own, some of which include the following:

• Fungoo: Fruit Bearing Plant
• Lept: Critter
• Macefly: Bug
• Mossvine: Seed Bearing Weed
• Puffpop: Hazardous Toy
• Swirlyshroom: Toy

From Ghosthande: "Primordia Redux is like the old Primordia metaroom, but updated and re-made with new graphics, coding, and original concepts that didn't make it into the 2008 version. In other words, it has basically everything I wanted to do the first time around, but didn't have the time, knowledge, or skills to attempt. Primordia Redux uses the same coordinates as the original Primordia, in order to save map space."

IMPORTANT: Primordia Redux will only work in Docking Station, or in a C3/DS docked world. It will not work in a standalone Creatures 3 world. It also uses the same coordinates as the original Primordia, so only one may be used at a time. Finally, if you have the old Primordia catalogue file, make sure to remove it before injecting the new version. This will allow the most up-to-date agent descriptions to be available.

CCSF 2012 Day 2: Aquanornia Revamped

Updated by Grendel Man for C3/DS (Metaroom)

Creatures who enjoy the beach and going for a swim now have a new place to call home! Aquanornia Revamped includes a plethora of updates to the original metaroom. Explore the three underwater levels, or let your Norns, Grendels, and Ettins enjoy a vacation on the shore! Although the area is empty, this simply opens up the opportunity for customization through other agents. Create a wonderful aquatic metaroom with Aquanornia Revamped! Included in the download are the following:

From Grendel Man: "The original Aquanornia was made by Jennie, and I merely updated it. It is one of the oldest aquatic metarooms around, and one of the few that's receptive to non-swimming creatures. I should note that really large creatures, like the Sabertooth Norns, might have some difficulty navigating the room since the ceiling is a bit low in some places. The updates included with this revamp are as follows (more information in the Readme):

• The room now injects into all game combinations: C3 standalone, DS standalone, and DS docked.
• The room has been remapped slightly.
• The wooden platform is now semi-permeable, allowing some objects to fall through it.
• Grendels who try to ride the lift to the level immediately below the platform won't teleport up a floor.
• The uppermost aquatic level is a little more navigable.
• All of the C3 life within the room has been removed, as have the cheese machines.
• CA has been added. Light and heat varies depending on the time of day.
• The levels of the room connected by lifts have been linked up.
• The lifts themselves have recieved Vampess's edits.
• The doors have been recoded and the autokill error that plagued the original DS doors has been fixed.
• The camera won't jump to the doors should a creature use one.
• Both the DS and C3 versions of the room have a favorite place icon."

IMPORTANT: Aquanornia Revamped works in all combinations of worlds (C3, C3/DS, and DS) but Creatures 3 must be installed, because it draws some of its resources from this game, such as the elevator sprites.
