This isn’t a new segment or anything, but I did want to make some tiny announcements.

My Sparkleseed Vendor has been updated to require a lot of water to grow. That means it does well underwater but will survive in swampy areas.

Second, I’d like to remind everyone that while the Daily Creature Feature is designed to primarily feature the AFK world that I’ve created, I will occasionally broadcast other things like playing the game, testing agents, my husband wandering in and goofing around with the creatures, pretty much any number of things. The stream can also be interrupted by a poor or interrupted internet connection, having to use the computer for other things (this is my gaming machine) or I might play creatures to test agents, do wolfling runs or for normal play.

I hope you like the stream so far and I hope you enjoy or at least don’t mind the occasional interruptions to the program.

In the meantime, please keep those creatures coming! If you’d like to submit creatures, please visit the stream page for information.

More trees! These stumps are standing and are the perfect home for shelf mushrooms. Could also make suitable graveyard and swamp decorations!

I decided against spriting myself right now because I really want to get on making patch plants. Part of the reason I’ve added these decorations is so that I had something to put mea’s lovely shelf mushrooms on.

Wish me luck!

And I love it.

It works like other Autonamers (it only names creatures that don’t have names) except that instead of giving them ‘proper’ names or even goofy names, it gives them names based on their species, gender and generation.

Here are some examples.

bandicam 2013-12-11 22-43-37-043This little boy is named NoM0002. No means he’s a Norn, M means he’s male and 0002 shows what generation he is.

bandicam 2013-12-11 23-24-12-801This little girl is named GrF0208. Gr means she’s a Grendel, F means she’s female and 0208 shows what generation she is.

Why is this useful? It’s useful if you have an automatic exporter on and want to be able to tell at a glance what kind of creature it is and how far down the family tree it is while you’re in your My Creatures folder.

It’s also nice to have if you want to name creatures without having to worry about getting attached to them.

Feel free to expand on this agent if you like! I’ve included the .cos file for your tinkering pleasure. It’s based on the original autonamer.

Enjoy!

Psst! Ideas for expansion? Add letters to identify what order the creatures hatched in. Have fun!

The duck toy comes in more colors than shown. When it’s pressed it can dip below the water before it rises again. It also quacks. 😀 On top of its usual toy perks, it also alleviates loneliness and anger.
