C12DS (also known as C1 Metaworld, C12DS was coined by Antinorn on his news post announcing the project). is an addon metaroom for Creatures 3 and Docking Station, faithfully recreating the Creatures 1 Albia in all its glory. The project started July 2000 (see history). Over the past five years the team has gone through many changes under Lacota. Currently there is a Beta of the metaroom(see the News section of the C12DS website). Development continues to this day with only Lacota and Clucky left working on the project.

History

Started July 12th 2000, it was a dream Lacota brought on by a conversation with a friend Hex whom had expressed her distaste for the gloom of the Docking Station artwork. The first three months of the project were brought about by Lacota and Apollo in the lead brought what was then called the "Beta1". This was a collection of uncompressed Agent files. An entire metaroom layout consisting of 150 rooms plotted by hand (this was before the room editor). There was a slow period of around a year. This is when Clucky entered the project. This project went through several ups and downs depending on the availability of people on the team. At which point the Public Beta was released. Work slowed to a crawl as members became fewer and fewer. However the persistance of Clucky and Lacota has kept the project going.

Is It Legal?

The C12DS project was at one time brought to a screeching halt due to some legal questions that were raised. The issue was solved with the following requirements:

  • Only things found in the Freeloader.com version could be used
  • It must require either Docking Station or Creatures 3 to be installed

The Final Deal

The Project in its fully finished state will contain the features:
