It's obviously not the same as our standard creatures games but I think it deserves its own place, and I believe C4 will be the same way.<br /><br />@Arch -- If 3rd party development is possible to the extent that it was in C3/DS, I will more than likely take a stab at it. I just don't have a lot of hope that it will happen right now, as there has been no mention of it and honestly, I don't think that a game that is funded by microtransactions will allow people to tear into the basic code themselves. I could maybe see them allowing people to create simple objects like food, toys, and so on and possibly play with the genetics, but I don't foresee them giving us the ability to say, modify the breeding scripts or death scripts or even kill hots something. Of course we don't know any of this, and I may be speaking too soon, but I -really- would feel a lot better if Fishing Cactus would at least acknowledge that 3rd party development has always been one of the core aspects of this community. <br /><br />The thing is, if the Alife and biology are lifted right from C3 without any real biochemistry/brain improvement, I just don't see a reason to not stick with C3 for development anyway. I just love how much control C3 CAOS gives us; I love that if I wanted to and had the time, I could entirely rebuild the game to my liking. Unless C4 allows that extent of customization, DS is probably going to be my mainstay.Amaikokonuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141369908773050411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417548940646195012.post-88475221466385309622011-08-20T17:39:45.030-07:002011-08-20T17:39:45.030-07:00Love the video, and I think your C4 comments hit t...Love the video, and I think your C4 comments hit the nail on the head.<br /><br />From what I understand C4 Norns are going to have C3 genetics with a couple of tweaks (such as the body data genes). Then the game engine will be rewritten in whatever language Fishing Cactus are using.<br /><br />If 3rd party development is available, I see no reason why we can't give C4 the sceincey edge we'd like. Would you consider developing for it?<br /><br />From what I can tell C4 is essentially going to be a modernised version of C3, with a few bells and whistles added on to pull in some new players. Hopefully beneath the added gloss the original game will still be there for us to extract.ArchDragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726478254573137207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417548940646195012.post-71954397029900250042011-08-20T11:02:47.332-07:002011-08-20T11:02:47.332-07:00Excellent video!

I'...Excellent video! Funny, but spot on. Ha ha!<br /><br />I'm also pretty much in agreement with you, aside from the fact that I initially was really excited when I heard about Creatures 4. It's turning it a bit more of a spinoff, which isn't so bad. Creatures Village was kind of the same way, and I wouldn't say that it tarnished the Creatures name or anything: It was just a different concept.<br /><br />I plan on getting the collector's edition, too! Sounds interesting, and I usually can't turn down special edition things. Your final main paragraph is excellent: The community doesn't necessarily need a new game, but it needs new players and content. It's healthy to disagree about C4, but I hope everyone can get along and show that our community isn't a hostile one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445563524165115302noreply@blogger.com
