==Website History==
 +
AmberCreatures first opened early 1997 under the name of [[WebPetz|The AmberDawn]], which was inspired by [[Don|Don's]] interest in the gemstone amber and its ability to perfectly preserve and share the past:
 +
 
 +
:''Amber is a naturally occurring fossilised resin from ancient trees that forms an opaque yellow to golden orange gemstone with supposed magical qualities, often used in jewellery. Many different species have been found trapped inside amber chunks dating over hundred of millions years old.''
 +
 
 +
The website began as a virtual life website dedicated to producing new [[addons]] and [[tutorials]] for [[Creatures]], [[Wikipedia:Oddballz|Oddballz]] and [[Wikipedia:Petz|Petz]].  By 2000 the website had grown large enough that it had to be broken into several separate sites, hence the [[Creatures]] section became called AmberCreatures.
  
==Introduction==
+
Unfortunately, [[third-party]] development was not as common when AmberCreatures opened and [[Don]] often found her website had been deleted by the hosting company, who mistakenly believed [[Norn]]s were ''illegal warez''. This meant that new downloads were lost in several of the website moves, including the [[Creatures 1]] [[world]], [[AmberCity|The AmberCity]]. It wasn't until 2002 that AmberCreatures finally found a reliable host but after finding one the site has remained with them ever since.
'''AmberCreatures''' is the home of the [[Butterfly Norn]], [[Day Norn]], [[Ettin family]], [[Creatures 1 Ettin]], [[Alba]] world, [[LochAlbia]] and more.

Summary Of Content

AmberCreatures is dedicated to Creatures 1, Creatures 2, Creatures 3, Docking Station and Creatures Village and supports Windows, Linux and Mac users. The website hosts a considerable number of both official and third party downloads:

Website History

AmberCreatures first opened early 1997 under the name of The AmberDawn, which was inspired by Don's interest in the gemstone amber and its ability to perfectly preserve and share the past:

Amber is a naturally occurring fossilised resin from ancient trees that forms an opaque yellow to golden orange gemstone with supposed magical qualities, often used in jewellery. Many different species have been found trapped inside amber chunks dating over hundred of millions years old.

The website began as a virtual life website dedicated to producing new addons and tutorials for Creatures, Oddballz and Petz. By 2000 the website had grown large enough that it had to be broken into several separate sites, hence the Creatures section became called AmberCreatures.

Unfortunately, third-party development was not as common when AmberCreatures opened and Don often found her website had been deleted by the hosting company, who mistakenly believed Norns were illegal warez. This meant that new downloads were lost in several of the website moves, including the Creatures 1 world, The AmberCity. It wasn't until 2002 that AmberCreatures finally found a reliable host but after finding one the site has remained with them ever since.

AmberCreatures' was completely revamped on April 9th 2000 and then again for May 10th 2003, with the upload of the third new design scheduled for release in 2006. Screenshots and details to be added.
