Cross-posted from Gameware's forums:

So, you want more Creatures games? To make games, you need money. How do
you get money? You find a publisher willing to fund your project. I have an
idea to make some game publishers turn their heads GE's way. Here's the
grit:

One day (maybe once a month/fortnight?) we try to get as many people online
in DS as possible. Now, a target I'd like to aim for (though not
necessarily possible...) is to get one hundred people online in DS at one
time. Now there's something that would make the publishers take a look at
Creatures. A userbase that big after four years of the game? In its 3.5th
incarnation? Nice.
[...]
The big thing about this is that it must be BIG - 25 people online at once
just won't cut it. I propose an active advertisement scheme - banners,
buttons, etc. etc.

It has now been decided that Get Online Day will be the first Saturday of
every month -- so fire up DS and Get Online!

So we hope to see as many people as possible on Docking Station all day for
the first Saturday of every month, starting Saturday 5th February :)

Lets show our support and prove the Creatures Community exists!
