Howdy!

As you might remember from one of my previous posts, I wanted to start doing a regular creatures stream.

I’m finally in a position in my life where this sort of thing is very feasible but I need your help if I’m going to do it.

It’s looking more and more like it’ll be an LNA style stream but with the Warp down, I’d have to manually receive creatures in an e-mail and label them in-game. Not that big a deal, but it’s the best we can work with right now.

That said, I do like to play the game so on top of a daily stream, we might have interruptions to our regular programming in the form of me, well, playing the games (to include C1 and C2, maybe even CV), narrating and having conversations with the people in the chat. These pleasant interruptions will probably be minimal but in any case, I hope you enjoy them, too.

For now, the creatures stream is hosted at twitch.tv/DailyCFΒ  so if you’d like to check out what we have going on now, head over there. If you’d like to submit creatures to the stream, shoot me an e-mail at kezune_twitch@hotmail.com with either the genome or the .creature file that you want to submit. For now, creatures that only use the Creature Lab sprites are allowed. That means creatures with interesting genomes are definitely allowed so long as they aren’t intentionally immortal or invincible and use only official CL breed sprites. For example, Colortrue norns would be allowed because they use CL sprites. If I find that they are immortal or invincible, I’ll remove them from the stream without any hard feelings or ‘bad marks’. You’re welcome to submit all the creatures you like, though, even egg bombs.Please bear with me, the breed restriction is only in place until I can sort out what breeds I have installed. I’ll compile a list later. πŸ™‚

Yup. Made some logs using mea’s sprites. I swear, I could use her sprites for my entire agent making learning adventure.

One more of her sprites and then I’ll give spriting a shot though it’s been years since I did any sprite work.

No? You didn’t?

Well I wanted me to make agents. So I did!

On the left we have Charles the Cheese and on the right a Sparkleseed Plant (sprites courtesy of mea at Caos of the Creatures Realm).

bandicam 2013-12-08 18-33-00-945It’s a little embarassing but it took me all afternoon to make the plant and all evening to get the decay and vendor to work. (Big thanks to Liam and Ghosthande for helping me out!) If you like, you can click on the photo to the left there (with the vendor) to download the agent.

Download it, let me know what you think and what I could do to improve it. This is my first agent, after all. πŸ™‚

Enjoy!

And we’re back! Major Tom and the Grendel female are making buddies with each other, Sapling is still above, keeping to herself. Selena and Bosco are both still stuck and Blinky Bill has finally escaped from the scary Volcano.

Before I got to snap his picture, though Bosco passed away. The medical monitor showed nothing in his system so I can only assume that he either starved to death or that one of his vital organs died from illness. He made it to 2 hours and 5 minutes. 20 points.

Before I could celebrate Blinky Bill escaping danger, he threw himself back onto the desert sand and was scaring himself to death. It was tempting to rescue him by shutting off the volcano but that would have been unfair. I waited for our last EE victim to pass away and considered adding another grendel.

Ultimately, I did add a male Dustdevil Grendel. A random number threw him into the Medical bay and I wondered if he’d prove to be as vicious as our female Banshee.

It’s impressive that all of the creatures in this game have stuck to their strategies thus far. Except Blinky Bill, I mean. The only creature that seemed interested in moving was the Dustdevil Grendel. He eventually made his way to the Capillata and got viciously beaten up by a hungry, angry, finally free from EE Selena.

bandicam 2013-12-06 12-17-49-990“DustM flabber Selena” indeed. I hope he doesn’t fear norns after that.

To celebrate their happy reunion, Selena and Major Tom had yet another egg. Before celebrations could begin, Blinky Bill died in the desert. 2 hours, 20 minutes. 22 points.

I’m assuming that she’s marking her matronship but Selena’s return was filled with violence directed at the grendels. When she wasn’t scarfing down all food in sight or resting, she was beating up grendels. Little else happened for a long time. At one point, Dusty and the Banshee were kissing before Selena came in and started slapping them both. I was actually concerned about Sapling at this point because she only paced next to the lift button at the top level, ate lemons and played with the musical toy at the top left.

It wasn’t long til our Dusty grendel died, though. He hadn’t made it 20 minutes before Selena killed him in the Norn Garden.

bandicam 2013-12-06 12-35-05-336

This time, I added one of Grendel Man’s Unreleased Breeds – A Shadow Predator Grendel. She’s a little difficult to make out. Oddly, appropriately, she was destined for the Grendel Jungle where she beat up on the critters. Selena, meanwhile, made her way up to the top of the Norn Garden and wanted to Eat Elevator again. It wasn’t long, but she used one of the Offline Portals, landed in the Norn Meso and! Died. Apparently, we just aren’t meant to have a second grendel from now on.

Something happened and soon Selena was exploring again, possibly making her way to Major Tom on the bottom floor. Natrually, this prompted another pregnancy.

bandicam 2013-12-06 13-13-13-582I gave adding a grendel one last go and imported Fumi from TCR. With our Banshee frozen and all the other norns in relatively safe rooms the danger element was practically eliminated. Fumi headed up to Sapling first and made short work of her. Things were going so well. :C Sapling survived 2 hours, 54 minutes.

Fumi decided then to start chasing after Selena, who was so far our Grendel fighter. Selena managed to escape in the lift but cornered herself. She tried to fight back and lasted much longer than expected. She passed away at 2 hours, 55 minutes and laidΒ  6 eggs. For her longevity, she gets 25 points and her eggs net her an additional 30(!) points! 55 points.

And this is where the game ends! Major Tom is the winner of this round. The game ended with his age at 2 hours, 55 minutes, netting him 25 points but he squeaks past Selena by having that extra egg with Patches. His 7 eggs net him 35 points, giving him 60 total! Congratulations! All of the babies will be hatched and uploaded for your pleasure.
