1. I miss creatures so much it's great that it's making its return.

2. It would be fantastic if they allowed the pc users to edit their world and platforms to create a unique experience, think terrarria (building a home and world for our creature to explore and build would be incredible)

3. different habitat for these levels he described hopefully with their own unique species so the world does not feel like an empty norn world.

4. the more you allow the user to create the bigger the userbase.

It's good to hear from someone at Fishing Cactus regarding this demo! I'm still cautiously optimistic about Creatures 4: There are a lot of elements that haven't really been explained yet, including the D-DNA and genetics. I do have to say that I'm not a fan of the Norn face slapping. Hopefully there will be more to come, but I'm beginning to think that this is more of a spinoff of Creatures than another installment in the series. That's not a bad thing, though! Just different.

@xSakijix I very much agree! Artificial life has taken a backseat to first person shooters, RPGs, and the like. Naturally, these genres are quite popular and offer many great games. Yet no one seems to pay much attention to AI/AL. I'm hopeful that Creatures 4 might open the doorway a bit, although it's hard to say anything before its release. I like to err on the side of optimism, although I certainly understand your perspective! Maybe we'll all be pleasantly surprised in a few months!

[xSakijix]

@xSakijix Though I don't want to be totally pessimistic, I'm open for surprises. :)

[xSakijix]

@discoveralbia Indeed. It would be nice if AI got a little more attention in the gaming business.

My only fear is that Creatures 4 ( if it gains attention ) might serve as example for others not to follow in their footsteps. ( If they implement the AI badly, which they most likely did ).

@xSakijix I've been following Steve Grand and Grandroids, although most of the information has been kept very quiet. The demo looked quite watered down in many ways, but I'm still optimistically waiting for more news from Fishing Cactus. Keep in mind that even if Creatures 4 doesn't turn out to be absolutely amazing, it still can help shine the spotlight on the Creatures series! I'm just glad that there is something to look forward to, both in Creatures 4 and Grandroids.

@discoveralbia It has definitely nothing to do with the idea behind the game "Creatures", if you want "Creatures" you'll have to check out Steve Grand, as he's the creator and mastermind behind the whole "artifical life" concept in Creatures.

The "intelligence" here seems to be a very watered down version of the original creatures, while Steve Grand is currently developing something called "Grandroids",

which are supposed to be the first artifical lifeforms which are able to "think" or imagine.

It should be pat/stroke on the head, and slap on the bum/lower legs - lets not teach kids that parents slapping children in the face is 'all for the greater good'... Other than that, it looks great to me

[emersonisgood]

This looks awesome! I am just happy to have the norns back i do not care about spending a little money. :)\

[VirPedri]

this is losing everything of what creatures is, money? really? this is just a tamagotchi with 32 graphics... :(

@vansfordave Unfortunately, something the Creatures series has lacked is actual direction; many players feel lost upon starting up the game as there are no tutorials, or goals of any sort.
