Hello, and welcome to Albian Archive, the first known deviantART club dedicated to the Creatures series.

WHAT IS CREATURES?
Creatures is a computer game series with a goal similar to that found in the Petz and The Sims series: there is no set goal. The game revolves around you raising, teaching, and breeding a population of furry little aliens called norns (along with their cousin species: the scaly, aggressive grendels, and the curious, kleptomatic ettins) on the abandoned planet Albia or a space ship (depending on the game).

If you are still curious, you should pay the Creatures Wiki a visit, as it contains virtually everything you would ever need to know about the series... and then some.



NEWS

July 10, 2009- Warp Week II starts next Monday! Every day is themed, so be sure to check out this thread at Creaturetopia [link] to see what you can expect each day. If you don't have DS yet, you can download it here [link] (for FREE!).

June 17, 2009- For those of you who have been itching for the notorious JRChat to return, Gryph of Creatures Caves has set up a brand new chat room for you to utilize. You can find it here: [link]

In CCSF news, community members are still debating on a time and theme. Right now it looks like the Festival will be held during the first two weeks of November and the theme will either be "The Future" or "Time." If you want to give your input, head on over to Creaturetopia: [link]

April 25, 2009- GeoCities, which was once a very large and popular web hosting service, is set to shut down later this year. Unfortunately, it is possible that many old Creatures sites will be removed in the process. If you know of any Creatures sites being hosted on GeoCities now would be the time to either contact the owner(s) and make them aware of this situation and/or start saving any creatures and COBs being hosted on these sites. If you'd like to discuss this, there is a thread at Creaturetopia here: [link]

March 30, 2009- This week a group of CC members (myself included) are participating in a user-hosted Warp Week. If you have DS, feel free to open up a world and trade norns with us. Rules and user names/IDs can be found in this thread at Creaturetopia: [link]

March 4, 2009- CC member Violet has created a petition calling for the revival of the Gameware Development forum. If you're interested, you can read and sign it here: [link] . Violet has also revealed a correspondence between himself and GW CEO Jeremy Cooke here [link] that indicates that GW is interested in licensing out the Creatures brand.

There's not much information to go on right now, but if anything new develops it will be posted here.
