[edit] Summary of Content
The Creature Repository (or TCR) is ElasticMuffin's latest attempt at a Creatures site, begun in late 2004 and launched for the CCSF 2006.
The site's purpose is to provide access to as wide a variety of creatures as possible to enhance the gene pools of breeders, via a searchable, easy-to-use database. Registered users can submit their creatures to the database with a simple form, and everyone can download the creatures along with a photo and the creature's information. The site uses 'tags' to describe the characteristics (such as colors and breed) of each creature and to make it easier to find creatures with a certain trait. You can also browse random creatures from the database, or creatures submitted by certain users.
The site is also rolling out a few handy web tools, including one that can extract pictures from C3/DS exported creatures in JPG, PNG, or GIF format.
For a while, ElasticMuffin made very little progress on the site.. However, work on the site began anew in July 2006, and it was released just in time for the CCSF 2006.
All submissions enter a queue and are approved by a moderator in order to be admitted to the database. The submitter will receive an e-mail when his/her Creature is processed.
As of February 13, 2007, the site had 1000 Creatures and about 5300 downloads.
