Players
of Black & White will now be able to take their unique creatures
onto its next adventure in Black & White: Creature Isle for
the PC.
Creature
Isle extends the original Black & White experience by focusing
on the creature whose alignment will veer towards being black
(evil) or white (good) based on the player’s gameplay style.
The game begins with players discovering a new land populated
by an array of strange and mystical creatures who harmoniously
exist in the Brotherhood. It is a place without a god, until
the player’s arrive with their creature at which time they
enter the next stage of creature Artificial Intelligence (AI)
advancement.
With
the player’s help, the creature must be initiated by successfully
learning a series of challenging trials in order to win the
hand of Eve, a new mysterious and reclusive female mate. In
addition, the creature must secure the coveted tattoo of the
Brotherhood – a powerful sign that advances the player’s creature
to a higher development level. Each creature will have an
opportunity to further evolve its AI by learning new, more
powerful spells that further strengthens and skills their
miracle casting.
Helping
to heighten the game's AI technology is the addition of an
apprentice for each creature that takes on the form of a spring
chicken named Tyke. It is up to the creature to apply the
values and principles previously instilled by the player when
raising the young fowl who symbolizes a new generation. Based
on the creature’s influence, Tyke will eventually mature into
a gentle and loving or aggressive and destructive creature
that exists in the world of Black & White. The upbringing
of Tyke will also help affect Eve’s perception of the creature’s
potential parental skills.
Similar
to the original game, Creature Isle will support a cooperative
and combative online component for up to eight players/creatures
(and four teams) via www.bwgame.com.
Additionally, the creature can bring Tyke online for added
entertainment.
