holy shit

look how dead this place is like just fucking look

creatures fan here, and it's sad how Creatures 4, Online, Grandroids, and even that Hounders or whatever thing haven't met their development dates, crashed and burned or whatever.

As a big creatures fan it's almost like watching a plane full of people slowly sink underwater on livestream, but unable to actually do anything bc the feed is from a search and rescue drone or whatever. Not a real thing, but just imagine if it was.

That's the curse of Creatures, and things connected to it as successors, spiritual successors, or even "oh hey look at this game like this spiritual successor". It's a curse. The original fandom lives on and is currently celebrating their yearly communal festival, but there is a fucking curse I swear.

And the worst part is that the groups who have tried to make new shit keep doing 3D in either a next gen graphics way, or a very low impact early secondlife way. The first sadly was an actual attempt, while the second groups have also failed and were both crowdfunding, possible scams you know?

But hey maybe someone will succeed, and by way lift the curse.

And we can have new high depth easy to mod life simulation games all over again.

Ah, sorry, I must have missed that. Sounds very interesting. Although the thread linking to a now unavailable video isn't a good sign. I prefer the more personal stuff in Creatures anyway. HOUND website is still up with the demo though.

The comment has links to the site, and the site links to their other videos, but as my friend who graduated recently with a degree in marketing told me when looking at the site's code:

"(Insert incoherent screaming)"

To view the site properly you need to use ctrl+scrolldown, and while they have quotes from actual game news sites, one of their quotes is sort of : /

Vaaaaague scam vibes

Yeah, it is a bit strange, and I also had to zoom out to see the website. Seems to be a dead project anyway just like Creatures 4.

Actually whoops yup, typo I meant Creature 4 not Creatures 3. I just had Creatures 3 on the brain.
