A Surprising Set of Images for the C1 Lemons

The Creatures 1 lemons have been on my mind a lot lately, and I mentioned my spriting struggles. Luckily, a more through dig through the existing sprites revealed a practically perfect match! Have a look at what a lemon goes through from the time it starts out as a bud. There’s actually a beautiful flowering phase that’s completely left out in Creatures! These little plants, called Beelacanth, possess the images necessary to simulate a growth cycle. Granted, it may not be absolutely perfect, but the first round of modifications has been very successful so far! I seem to be skilled with editing existing sprites, yet creating new ones is best left to the professionals.

I completely forgot about the Beelacanth since I never use the source of it: The Shee Seed Launcher. It looks very nondescript, and doesn’t really do the flowering plant justice. Fixing up the lemons is not too complicated, since most of the scripts will be modified from the updated Creatures 1 carrot. Most of the work left is polishing up the sprites and completing a few CAOS tasks. The only sad news I bring is that this updated version will likely do away with any flying lemons. Hopefully the improvements and new growth cycle will make up for that, though! Keep an eye out for more news about the lemons!
