June 2012 is the scheduled date for the Creatures 4 release. Recent activity on the Fishing Cactus blog has been promising, although no new information regarding C4. However an official trailer has been dredged up and added to the C4 page. My life is only now starting to get back to normal from the Holidays. I don't know if I'll have something bigger to update with next time, but there's always hope!

Been over a month and all I have to update is the C4 page. Big news though! C4 will be delayed until 2Q 2012, or about 3 months later, sometime in April-June 2012. While it's sort of disappointing that we'll have to wait, I'd prefer it to an incomplete game. Fingers crossed, that it's the only delay. In other news, I'm trying to get my act together and work on some things. However I have even less time than before as I have been asked to be Scoutmaster for the local Boy Scout troop. And I thought I was crazy. They asked ME! So hears hoping I can do everything I have planned. Catch ya later!

I'm still here and kicking. Shortly after the last update I got an email from Drauga Drottin, he explained a few things, but then no further contact. So it threw me off my groove, and then I got distracted with life. But I am hard at work putting together an update for the site. Sadly nothing for CCSF 2011 that is currently in full swing. I just have too much going on to create something new, plus there is so much better content out there that is getting lost. Wish me luck!

It is startling the number of sites that have gone down, are currently unavailable or partically unavailable. An example being the Norngarden site. You can access almost all the pages, except for the breed pages (Jungle, Poodle and Aqua). It's so random. There are plenty of others too. For todays update, I've added the Beowulf Norns by Drauga Drottin (I could not find a way to contact creator and no readme file.) and the Mets by Liger, with permission. I actually got permission to host any of his creations, so I'll be looking in to see if any need saving. The Archive section is still under construction. You might notice a couple of pages there, but the content hasn't been uploaded yet. I would have done that today, but a problem came up with the Suliban Norns being in the wrong slot. I am hard at work on many different projects, most relating to the saving of content and less to do with generating new content. Wish me luck!

There is a new Creatures 4 video, an interview at Gamescom.

Welcome to the improved layout. I've been meaning to do this for a while now, but hadn't gotten around to it. Important things to note, there is no longer a "Download" section but you can find all that under the C3/DS section in the left hand menu. The Creatures 4 section can also be found there and will continue to grow as needed. On the topic, there are 2 third-party videos of the C4 demo being shown at Gamescom which I have linked to in the C4 section, so go check them out! The Archive section is still under construction, as I need stuff to actually put there and I need a banner for the top. (I have one made, but I'm waiting on permission to used it.) Oh, you'll also notice that each section features a different banner at the top, except the contact page, which uses the same as this one. The Project section might be getting a reworking eventually, but I need to be doing more there before that is likely to happen. And I've moved the News older than July 1st 2011 to an archived page in an attempt to keep this page a little smaller. I hope you enjoy the improvements and will assist me as I try to get the Archive section going. Thanx!

I've been working on several updates. Not many are finished yet, but I'm hard at work. So lets start with what has been updated. First I briefly updated the Project page. Nothing new or important. I finally got around to putting together the Creatures 4 section. I'm quite proud of the banner at across the top. It took me hours, but I was able to learn some valuable tools on Gimp. Now I need to do the one for the rest of the site. So that's it. Things I'm working on are "Chapter 8: Invasion". There are several downloads coming, but I'm waiting on a couple of people to reply back. It's sort of in connection with my Archive project in which I seek out downloads from sites that have gone down and give them a new place in cyberspace. Permission will be sought out whenever possible, but there will be times when that is impossible. When that happens I will state that fact and if contacted by the creator I will update the info and if requested will immediately remove it. I'm still trying to track stuff down. An extension of this is that I will also be adding pages to the wiki of the things I find, lost or just hidden. It's alot of work, but someone needs to do it. Once I get officially started, if there is any help that anyone can give will be accepted with extreme gratitude. Now it's late, and a bowl of ice cream has my name on it. Later!

My computer died!! I hope to be taking it to the shop soon, but I have no access to the many projects I was working on expect of anything done since May. I do have a partial back up from about then. It was a very faithful computer. Ancient in computer years, going on 9 years, and this was the first problem I've ever had with it. I was hoping to have something by CCSF, but it's not looking good. I don't work very fast, life gets in the way, so it's a HUGE set back. Wish me luck!

Happy 4th to those of you in the States. As updates go, I have added some concepts (Genetic Red Draconian, and Blue Draconian and HAEM Metaroom), moved the adoptions from the tab to the list on the download page (the tab will be taken from the other download pages soon), also put up Chapter 7: Snow Bengal (my best and longest yet), the next one I'll be writing, will be "Chapter 8: Invasion" featuring the coverting of the TPSE Ettins to C3/DS. I think a converted breed will likely be the next thing released by me. I also need to get working on CCSF 2011!!
