NornXXL Trade World Returns! Generation 3

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Only I screwed up and accidentally deleted some norns.

Anyway!

bandicam 2013-12-19 16-23-21-139Meet Harry and Poppy. If we’re lucky, these two will have some babies. 🙂

It took them a good while (and quite a lot of coaxing) but I taught them their vocabulary (using the Portal: Intelligence Core) and waited for them to pass the IQ test. I eventually guided them towards the end but once they were safe, they were sent to C2toDS.

bandicam 2013-12-19 16-37-32-194They stayed in the incubation area for a long while. Eventually, I moved them to the green area near the water wheel and Harry immediately set off exploring.

harryhidesHe started to make sad noises like he was starving. Naturally, I took him back to Poppy where they were both fed.

bandicam 2013-12-21 21-26-34-166They didn’t seem to want to leave each other’s side though Harry seemed pretty bored. I offered them some toys and taught them to push the bee box for honey and soon…

bandicam 2013-12-21 21-43-14-628… Poppy was pregnant! (That proud father is blinking.)

bandicam 2013-12-21 22-45-05-399Once the little egg was laid, I set it in this fish bowl for safety. Then they had another. And then twins!

Norn XXL would have LOTS of little babies to choose from. 🙂

Because they both kept complaining of starving, I decided to move them to the Norn Meso. Harry especially kept complaining of being hungry for starch but abundant seeds kept him feed.

They had two more eggs together and it looked like there might be another still on the way.

This egg production continued for a while but soon, Harry was over the hill.

bandicam 2013-12-23 15-21-26-64611 children later, it was time to retire and the two lived out their lives in C2toDS. Unfortunately, Harry passed away at 4 hours, 32 minutes old, with food and toys nearby. Poor guy. :C

With Poppy exported, all their babies hatched and also exported, it was time to prepare the next generation.

Guys, I’ve been feeling pretty upside down.

And topsy turvy and just kind of… All over the place. Moving has really taking the wind out of my sails.

So what better thing can I do for it than abandon all of my past projects and start over. Again. The only project I’m keeping is the Trade run with NornXXL. I don’t think he’d be pleased if I up and deleted all of the norns.

bandicam 2013-10-04 09-30-27-667bandicam 2013-10-04 09-38-59-039Anyway. Here indecisive me goes again trying to find a shred of passion for the Creatures Series, where it all began.

Soon a little girl would hatch out of this egg. In the meantime I checked out her genetics and found that she was totally mutation free. What a relief!

As she used the computer, I brought her some cheese and honey and hoped she would soon eat. At two minutes old it was great to see her so interested in learning.

She had some cheese and we were off to explore Albia together.

bandicam 2013-10-04 09-42-32-496The first thing she opted to tackle was the carrot patch. She ate a carrot and headed straight for the bridge where we learned all about herbs and weeds. I had to slap her on the butt once after she ate a weed but no real harm was done and she was munching on the herbs before long. I gave her a toy to play with and figured that was enough for one day.

Generation 2 – Trade World

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Hello! Since Andrea and Jim had their little ones, I retired them to the Biodome and played with the new babies.

babyWith these two growing up and settling into the Norn Terrarium, I opted to investigate their genetics.

desertTrent, besides being non-CFE had no significant differences from the original Treehugger genome.

Hermione, like Treant, had no particularly interesting mutations either, at least not when I skimmed over Gene Compare.

That said, she is a Magma mix and was drawn to the heat of the ettin desert. Trent was more inclined to stay in the Norn Terrarium and eat seeds.

Jim and Andrea spent more time together in the Biodome but it still took some coaxing to get them to start playing nice.

Thankfully, I was having better luck with Trent and Hermione.

Soon they had two babies of their own and they seemed to take strongly after their father.

babiesHere are the babies! Soon one of them would be sent to Norn XXL for the next round but I wanted to spend more time with Hermione, Trent, Jim and Andrea. As I updated the blog, there was a tragedy.

deadHermione, unfortunately, passed away due to bacterial infection. To help him cope with his grief, I sent him to live with his parents in the Biodome.

Pearlmaid Concept Revamp

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

As you might know, I’ve gotten a decent computer in my possession again. That said, I’m giving Pearlmaids a much, MUCH bigger space to live in. That said, I had to come up with new ways to encourage females to lay eggs outside of water. Naturally, that called for Coral Emitters. After polluting the world with wildlife, portals, doors, toys and more, it was time to select the creatures for this new world. Oh. Yes. I decided to start with a fresh population of Colortrue norns. :3

bandicam 2013-09-16 21-45-45-039

Now, instead of starting with three like I did the last time, I’ll be starting with 14(!). Yes. Fourteen. I’ll be adding one male and one female of each of the available colors. Let’s meet them!

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-00-02-341Here they are! Thanks to Amaikokonut’s New Shortcuts, it was a breeze to get them all to pose this way. I taught them language with the Vocabulizer and Soon, they were off!

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-00-57-079I could already tell that this would be an interesting world. Cerulean (blue female) was the first out of the Meso and took a brief nap in the hallway. Soon, Vincent (green male) followed her, then Raul(yellow male)! Actually, they all seemed interested in exploring but no one really committed to their new location. Soon, I felt a headache coming on from the sound of them using the Torii.

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-20-23-799

After what felt like an hour of door pushing, the babies had become adolescents (only 24 mintues old) and they were starting to change. That said, I needed a break from “Breeen-bree-bree-bree-breeeeeen~”.

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-19-32-328In the desert things were getting out of hand. There wasn’t much I could do but eliminate ALL of the butterflies but I’d rather have an excess of them than none at all.

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-19-36-819 The roses on the beach were in full bloom. Thankfully.

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-19-38-820The right side of the Aquarium was full of life (and food) for once. It was nice to have a reef. But speaking of reefs.

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-19-42-539The left side had much of the same wild life! But the reef doesn’t stop here.

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-20-02-501And in the Devil’s Reef we find- wait. Are those… Aubergines? 😛

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-30-06-221When I returned, I was still pretty sick of the sound of the Torii being activated so to drive the norns out, I filled the Meso with bees.

It started to seem like mission accomplished though I had a new job on my hands for the future. That’s unrelated, though. Now that all the babies were about a half hour old, I had to keep an eye out for eggs. I’m borrowing Jessica of Discover Albia’s idea and making the first female to mate the alpha for the next generation.

Given a White Tiara

Goldie was the first to lay an egg, closely followed by Violette. As I removed the Torii and their respective CA links and replaced them with elevines. (They want to travel to new waters? They can walk.)

More pregnancies followed and it looked like soon I would have my hands full with eggs. Those would have to wait til after this generation passed away so I at least had a lot of time to mull over what to do with them. Yes, they were all laid on land. Instead of removing all of the females but Goldie, however, I decided to leave the eggs and sort them later. Goldie’s daughters and all the boys would continue their legacy in my game and the others would be distributed to anyone who wanted them. Why aren’t I just chucking out extra eggs? Last time, I didn’t have such good luck as far as their genes go.

I haven’t worked out every detail yet, but we’ll see. I’m kind of winging it as I go this time. Well. We’ll figure out some more next time.
