Creatures: The Albian Years changes
Fall is upon us, and dark things might lurk around the corner.
We have updated Creatures: The Albian Years, and you should see Steam downloading and applying the update automatically.
Here is a list of what we did:
Creatures 2 Hallowe'en Pack This pack of seasonal COBs for Creatures 2 was initially developed by Creature Labs back in the day, but has not previously been included in Albian Years. It adds the following injectable items:
Decorations Devilish critter Ghost Jack'Olantern Pumpkin Pie Skeleton Witch
Updated files We'd like to extend our thanks to community member EemFoo who unearthed some updated COB files from Creatures 2 life kit #1. These are official files made by CreatureLabs back in the day that should be more stable than the versions previously included.
Creatures 1 Christmas Pack 2 This pack of seasonal cobs for Creatures 1 was developed by Creature Labs and originally released in late 1997. Previously, only the first Christmas Pack was included in Albian Years.
This adds the following files to inject:
Christmas Cards.COB Christmas Cracker.COB Christmas Fireplace.COB Christmas Incubator lights.COB Christmas Lights.COB Christmas Pudding.COB Christmas SnowStorm.COB Christmas Streamers.COB Christmas Tinsel.COB Incubator lights.COB SnowStorm.COB
The readme containing a description for all of these objects has also been added to the main directory. Check the file "Xmas Pack 97.txt" for more information!
It also adds a new Santa Norn that you can import.
We have also continued our efforts to increase the stability of Creatures 2. There is a potential fix that may help reduce the amount of crashes related to DirectX errors, though this will require more testing on our part before we can set it live.
