Hi, CC! Long time, no see, busy with getting the Ph.D and all that. Hope you guys are all doing well and staying healthy and sane. I'm probably not back for good, but I still subscribe to several Creatures blogs in my RSS feed, and seeing the CCSF 2021 posts popping up in my feed made me feel nostalgic for these games. And I'm excited to see them coming to Steam! Crossing my fingers that we finally get an official C2 release that works on modern operating systems... maybe even one that fixes the bug that makes worlds inevitably crash at a certain age?!

I was even inspired to dig up and update this old mini-paper on how the Creatures C3/DS brains are set up; I originally wrote it for an independent study way back in 2014 or so. And while updating it, I promptly started a DS feral run inspired by it - one where all the starting creatures had their brain lobes set to be mutable. Not expecting anything particularly interesting to come of it, but you never know :)

Anyway, if you're curious about how the Creatures brains work, but find them difficult or intimidating to understand, hopefully this will help get you started. It can be hard to figure out a brain in a vat or what all those rules in the genetics kit are doing to them!
