Watch Artemiidae Come to Life in a C3/DS Video
I took a short break from Artemiidae so I could catch my breath before diving back into my Creatures Docking Station underwater world! The last update proved how difficult it was to capture every moment in still pictures. An aquatic scene has constant movement, after all! Although I didn’t catch my Norns and Grendels on a particularly interesting day, I did manage to capture them all in motion with a new Creatures video! My very devoted Colortrue Pearl Mermaid Norns, Tangelo Agassizi and Fuchsia Rhodeus, showed off their close relationship… And the reason why they already accounted for the majority of the next generation’s babies!
More than anything, this video should illustrate how the entire world is set up and where the inhabitants are located. It was difficult to track down a few Norns, but I believe that everyone should have been caught on camera! Find your favorite in this surprisingly semi-short video… Consider it a bit of a transition into the new Discover Albia feature, the Creatures Hive. The first of that video series should be up within the next several days! Who knows: Artemiidae might even get a few more video updates throughout the generations. I’m sure there will be plenty of activity to report on from the underwater realm!
You’re right, pictures don’t do this world much justice! Was really cool to see all the colorful fish, norns, and grendels swimming around.
(For a moment when you clicked the egg icon and got taken to what looked like a title screen, I thought your game had crashed, haha!)
I’m going to try to feature some more video updates of this world, exactly for that reason! Seeing the Creatures swim around is something that has to be seen, rather than read about. Glad you enjoyed it!
I forgot to get rid of the notifications in the right order, hence the silly title screen showing up like that! Guess it’s a new thing to learn, though? Ha! The first time it happened to me I thought that my game had crashed, too. Just one of those things to keep in mind when hoarding eggs in the inventory screen!
Those Banshee Hydrolisks aren’t as threatening as they could be. By the looks of things they haven’t even tried leaving Past Seas’s upper level. Though given that critters don’t have an associated CA and it’s looking like the female’s learned to hit grendel rather than hit norn for food, I can’t say I’m too surprised.
With that out of the way, I agree that videos really do work better for this world than still pictures do. Seeing Pearlmaids swim around is one of those things that never gets old for me.
Very true about the Banshee Hydrolisks, Grendel Man. I had a couple of test runs where several traveled around, eventually making it into the Deep Abyss via the teleporter. They were very dangerous, taking out a whole lot of Norns in their path. I’m happy keeping them separate for now, but I can safely say that there’s still a small danger! My guess is that they’ll spread out some more in future generations, when there are more Banshee Hydrolisks in one area.
Video updates will likely become a pretty regular way to post about this world. They may not replace the normal picture updates completely, but I’ve seen a lot of positive feedback about these videos. I completely agree about the Pearl Mermaid Norns: A single picture doesn’t do them justice, since they have such a beautiful way of swimming around. We might even end up with some strange mixes who may (or may not) move about with so much grace!
When is your next C3/DS post?
As promised, this world will feature more video updates! These take a little longer to produce, but I will say that tomorrow looks like a pretty good day to find a new update on this C3/DS world! I’m currently working on a few other projects that are being featured in the updates, but I will be returning to a more balanced schedule once I get some of those things done. Shouldn’t be too long!
Is this world available for download? I have always wanted a water world!
I don’t believe it’s possible to share this world, since it’s currently populated and has some custom CAOS commands. I’ve never seen a C3/DS world actually available for download. However, I have put together a list of metarooms and agents, which should help you create a similar world! If you have any questions or need any help creating your own underwater world, feel free to ask!
