So, allow me to introduce to you: Alessio and Alita, my starter pair for this game. This is them as adolescents:
As babies, their lives were pretty uneventful, and they were quite healthy, so there's not much to say about that. But shortly after reaching childhood, things sort of went Alkalidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09784339387809485126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064585682081349427.post-24252866088662587422018-03-12T07:31:00.000-07:002018-03-12T07:31:02.302-07:00A Taste of What's to ComeSo, just for kicks, here's a quick sneak peek of the primary features I'm working on implementing for the Alkali Norns:
Alkali Norns were named so due to their metaphorical similarities to the alkali metals on the periodic table of elements:
Bond Readily - With a penchant for companionship, they're happiest and most comfortable around other norns.
Highly Reactive - Reactions to certain Alkalidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09784339387809485126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064585682081349427.post-39864447759884343032018-03-08T05:28:00.002-08:002018-03-08T05:28:29.010-08:00Conceptualizing a New MetaroomAlong with the Alkali Norns, I'm also in the early concept stage of creating an entirely new metaroom for Creatures Exodus, possibly to go with them. Currently, it's going by the rather un-creative name of the 'Sanctuary'. The idea is to include a number biomes (each with their own distinct micro-climates and ecosystems) contained in and around a mostly-dormant volcano that rises out of the oceanAlkalidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09784339387809485126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064585682081349427.post-62383013854480297562018-03-02T15:33:00.000-08:002018-03-02T15:34:18.506-08:00Modernizing and Re-Imagining CreaturesAlong with the early work on the new norn breed, which I'm calling Alkali norns (because of heir behavioral and visual likeness to the alkali metals on the periodic table of elements) I'm also considering doing mock-ups of what a modern Creatures game might look like. Or, at least what I'd want it to look like.
Having said that, I'm working on a 3D model of a norn, based very closely on the Alkalidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09784339387809485126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064585682081349427.post-69018141358876534972018-03-01T04:59:00.001-08:002018-03-01T04:59:21.664-08:00The Blog Has Hatched!The blog is now up and running!
This will be the place to find news on all my Creatures activities, from playing the game to developing breeds, agents and metarooms for it. I already have a new breed in the early stages of development, so there will most likely be more news on that in the coming weeks.
After nearly 17 years, it's good to be back.
