Nornish Soundboard

I made a Nornish Soundboard while in the process of making a Nornish to Handish translator. The page linked below contains both the soundboard and an externally-hosted translator, though I hope one day to make one hosted here.

Albian Dressup

Because I'm a visual person, I wanted to make a doll dressup for trying different norn/grendel/ettin breed combinations, in order to imagine Creatures characters. So, over one break from work when I was recovering from my second mastectomy, I made the Albian Dressup!

I released the dressup as a Picrew as well as a Photoshop file for others to make their own parts, or to act as a base for people that would like more customisayion than a dollmaker game can provide.

thesheeark then made Albian Dressup +Plus, with additional content and on Meiker.io now.

Example of the C1 C2 font: 'The chill fox norn vowed to heckle a grendel before jumping to your quest prize.'

Example of the C2 DS font: 'The chill fox norn vowed to heckle a grendel before jumping to your quest prize.'

Albian Creatures Font

A hand-crafted vector .otf font conversion of the CHARSET.DTA C1/C2 fonts, and the BlackOnWhiteChars.s16 font from C3/DS! The zip contains .otf. .woff and .woff2.

The fonts are in the same family so should show up as 'C1 C2' and 'C3 DS' in the same options you'd change between something like Bold and Italic. Let me know if any characters/glyphs aren't showing up like you'd expect and I'll update!

When I saw Jessica's Original Creatures Font conversion of the C1 font into C3/DS, I knew I wanted to make it into a font for me to use on designs too! Thankyou to Jessica for converting the C1/C2 font originally, because I had no how to open the CHARSET.DTA file from C1/C2 so I used her conversion as a base for this.

Breeds

Hircine Norn Pack

These were inspired by the Creatures 2 Goat Norns by Angela Allan. They aren't an exact conversion, but I have taken from the original Goat Norns in spirit particularly the male colour and curved horns, and then inspired by the Frog Norns I have added goat-like horizontal pupils for pano-vision.

The Hircine Norns were made in Geneforge with custom shaped hoof-paws, horns, resized ears, and custom textures. The curved horns were supplied very kindly by SpaceSR.

They use Grendel Slot E, include TWB (True Warm Blood), CFE (Creatures Full of Edits) and Stock ChiChi (ex47) genetics, and have complete sprites for growing horns and sexual dimorphism.

Version 1 was released for CCSF 2023.

Version 2 (this one) includes: refined textures, additional genomes, fixed tail, reslotted from Grendel T to Grendel E.

Sounds

Genshin Impact Norn Sounds

On a whim I made a sound replacement for all norn voices to become the Hu Tao TikTok meme at various stages. It's awful, so I recommend trying it out and then changing it back lol.

This was directly inspired (and made possible via me being able to reverse engineer...) by the TF2 Voice Pack by Freyla, and the Scorn Voice Addons by Leporidae that were submitted to CCSF 2021.

Custom Bubbles

Below are a series of styles I’ve made for Aiko’s Speech Bubbles Upgrade 1.2. Here is a video by Aiko explaining the upgrade for the CCSF 2021. If you’re interested in making your own styles for the bubbles, I’ve made a guide on how to do so here. I also made a spritesheet.psd for the sprites with example text and the outlines and background all on their own layers to make editing the sprites easier.
