Creature Labs Restored by Gameware Europe
One of the most important pieces of the Creatures community went down a few years ago, leaving us without the official content and downloads. Gameware Europe has been working on restoring this Creatures content, and some wonderful news came today! Don made the announcement that Jeremy from Gameware Europe restored the majority of the content from Creature Labs. Most important of all is the fact that the free breeds are now available again! KittyTikara also shared this news on the Creatures Reddit. The developer tools have not yet been restored, as the Creatures Developer Network (CDN) is not yet available. However, this is awesome news to see that the official content is being preserved! Head on over to take a look at the restored Creature Labs.
Thanks again to Gameware Europe for bringing this part of Creatures history back after the Gameware Development domain went down in May. It means a lot to know that people still care about Creatures! Although this does not encompass all of the official content and downloads, here’s to hoping that everything will be restored in the very near future. Make sure to grab any downloads you may have missed while Creature Labs was down, or read through the historical documents. Thank you, Gameware Europe!

Good to see the website is finally returning! I only wish they’d make all of the mall breeds free – surely that would be far better than just withholding them from the community?
I agree. Is it even possible to buy the mall breeds anymore? Even if it was, who would be buying them? What could they possibly lose by making them free at this point?
Nope, the Mall Breeds can’t even be purchased anymore. Silly, isn’t it?! I would be all for Gameware making them free or allowing public sharing. Alternatively, putting them back up for sale at a reasonable price isn’t the worst solution. The odd spot we’re in with not knowing what’s going on with them is probably the worst part! I think making them free would certainly put Gameware in a better light… Let’s hope that happens sometime soon!
It’s a shame that the entire site isn’t completely restored, especially with a bunch of broken download links. Still, it’s a step forward! I think I might take the award for asking about the Mall Breeds the most… Usually Gameware Europe hears from me once every couple of weeks, but alas, no response yet! Even if they made them available for sale again, that would be something. Making them difficult to find doesn’t do anyone any good.
