Impossible is nothing. If not fun!

<span class="bold">Impossible Creatures</span>, an outrageous RTS that lets you "mesh" around with animal DNA and build your own mutant army, DRM-free on GOG.com. Get it now with the 40% launch discount.




Noah put two of every animal in the Ark. This was cool at the time, but now along comes Rex Chance, a '30s war correspondent, curious to see what happens when you smush two animals into one. Why? Because DNA fusion is fun, and because he thinks there is great untapped potential in these strange pairings. Unfortunately, so does Upton Julius, the megalomaniac villain who stole the mysterious Sigma technology for himself, and is now threatening to conquer the world with his own army of mutant beasts.

Collect animal DNA, build your own unique units, and defeat Julius and his evil lieutenants in 15 different maps stretching across jungles, deserts and snow-ridden landscapes that make up the mysterious Isla Variatas. Create your own menacing winged scorpion, adorable kangaroo-shark, angry horned bear or any other Impossible Creature you desire - the possible combinations are only limited by your own imagination (or gross-out threshold). Then, go online and test your DNA-fusing skills against other wannabe-mad scientists in three different multiplayer modes.




Play God in this 3D hybrid of strategy and creativity, as your <span class="bold">Impossible Creatures</span> march forward, DRM-free on GOG.com. Get them now with a launch discount that will last until next Thursday, December 3rd, 1:59 PM GMT.

tokisto: I never played or heard about this one before, but it got my attention...
So Judas, do you know if runs fine on Wine? ;p Thanks
WINE 1.8-rc1 is my current WINE version.

You will be able to play the single player game just fine BUT the game seems to be affected by this WINE bug. I say this because the first thing that pops up in my termina; is the following error"

err:ole:COMPOBJ_DllList_Add couldn't load in-process dll L"C:\\windows\\system32\\dpnet.dll"

Googling "dpnet.dll" brought me to this page: http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectPlay

So no multi-player under WINE but the single player mode works quite well :)

vv221: GOG version works flawlessly on my Debian SId with WINE 1.8~rc1 ;)
The ./play.it script for the game should follow soon…
But did you test the multiplayer portion, though? :)

Not yet, I take on the task immediately!

I confirm that it doesn’t seem to work, with or without directplay installed.

edit to avoid misinfo: the English version's multiplayer will work after using "winetricks directplay".

JudasIscariot: See my previous post, please. I don't think it will work unless you have some magic trick that makes DirectPlay work under WINE :)
You might want to try 'winetricks directplay'. (you need to have winetricks installed of course)
Didn’t work for me, but you might have more luck ;)

Well, it worked for me...after I read about it on the WINE DirectPlay page :)

I was able to create an account and I saw a player named "Samso" online :)

Hmm, I can’t create an account from the French version of the game, but I get some errors related to missing strings. I actually don’t get a field for an e-mail adress…
I’m going to give a try to the English version.

Weird. Well, I am using the English version, so there is that.

Also, are you attempting to play multi with the Insect Invasion portion enabled or just vanilla Impossible Creatures?

HypersomniacLive: Don't follow, why?

IronArcturus: Wow! Looks pretty cool! What resolutions does it support? Does it have windowed mode?

mechmouse: I've just done 1920*1080. I'll look at window mode
Sorry no windowed mode.
You should be able to play it in a window by adding -window to the shortcut's Target field.

Nice release, didn't expect it at all. Will other Relic Games be available on GOG soon?

Relic has no say as to whether the rest of the games they have developed will come here. Homeworld is now owned by Gearbox and Company of Heroes/Dawn of War belongs to Sega. Without either of those companies here, the answer is no.
