Spore
--------

Spore is a "massively single-player" multi-genre game under development by Maxis and designed by Will Wright. It allows a player to control the evolution of a species from its beginnings as a unicellular organism, through development as an intelligent and social land-walking creature, to levels of interstellar exploration as a spacefaring culture. It has drawn wide attention for its massive scope, and its use of open-ended gameplay and procedural generation.

To have your creatures in this sporecast..list your user name in this thread...I will add your creatures...

i hav waited for tis game liek.. when im at form 5 lol, which is 2 years ago

Me too...but it is definitely releasing this year so our wait is over....first creature I'm gonna make is a Hydralisk (or something close to it)

Oh...and for those who want to try out the Microbe stage of the game...u can try Fl0w which is rather similar....the link is here

I hope this game doesn't turn out to be another Duke Nukem Forever which takes ages to be developed. Should be a great sandbox game

I heard that there's a nasty copy protection program which ships together with this game similar to the one with Mass Effect which made many people cancel their pre-order overseas

SecuRom or something...watever

The copy protection has been changed I think...

And no...this won't be a Duke Nukem Forever....but it would be a Sims game...which means expansions after expansions after expansions till Spore 2 comes out

Games are authorized to the machine when the player installs and launches the software for the first time. I think you get 3 reinstalls. I'm not exactly sure. Must get those guys who bought Mass Effect to confirm. You will need an internet connection when installing the game. But you wont need to have a constant online connection to reauthenticate.

Duke Dukem Forever has won the most anticipated games of the year award for 10 years straight.

Spore Creature Creator TrialTHIS IS THE FREE TRIAL (ONLY CONTAINING 25% OF THE PARTS)

download anyone.

count the shots, Oriku!

spore looks like new version of pet feeding.

tell me, hows the game?? best or??

i think this game was simple but why sooo late to release it??

leaked eh...all taken down already...I'll just wait for it to be out on the 17th...not very long to go...

It may look simple, but building a game which gives lots of option to create your own creature is not simple at all, not to mention it has a few genre mix together.

spore : evolve forever

this game like the moster inc cartoon lol

I actually got the creature creator through a link from kotaku...Cant login to sporepedia yet.

Quote from spore.com


Its actually pretty good. A lot of fun. It very easy to use but to design a really good monster is really difficult. Good creative exercise i must say. I like the fact that body parts actually add an attribute or function instead of just aesthetics. The procedural animation thing is quite impressive as it makes your creature move based on how you design it. There is a bit of graphical clipping if you make fat body parts that when moving might clip with some other part. Baby creature movement doesn't seem very natural at times. The lack of parts in the free trial is a bummer...but i can see how it will be a lot of fun.

My verdict Its good.

Pretty sure that anyone who wants the creature creator can just snag it from any popular torrent site. And maybe I'm just immature, but horrible creations like this fill me with insane glee.

Are the artwork from other games copyrighted and does it constitute a violation of the copyright if i make a monster similar to another creature in a different game?

Thats an interesting question...Maxis are not going to include creatures in the likeness of creatures/monster of other franchises...but you can make one. I suppose you can also download other peoples creation to. Maybe i can make a Hydralisk How cool will that be...

just testdrive the leaked
here's mine

HOLY WIN !

The official release date of the creature maker is delayed to the 18th.

Really? Its not announced even on the official website. The creature creator is still to be released on the 17th.

Spore creature creator FAQ:
http://www.spore.com/comm/faq

This thread seems quite quiet compared to others.

heh.. the creator is fun

cant imagine if the whole game is released ^^

I don't get the creature creator trial thing (the fork out money edition)...since the game is gonna be released in September....so why pay to play a small portion of the game when u can get the full version in 2 months time?

Because the people creating the game are pure genius. Get this, your galaxy and worlds are populated by other creatures picked from the creature pool on sporepedia. Basically by releasing the creator, they are having all of us populate their game with a lot of creatures from the start. We are building all sorts of creature for them for the entire galaxy. Some call it cunning...i think its just brilliant.

On the charging money for the full demo...I disagree with their move as well...probably pressured from EA execs.

This is gonna be like another Sims game...rule the world of both casuals and hardcore gamers.

Testing drive the demo(1/4 assets), my creation: Bobo Ork.

My creation, the kawabanga This game just earned top of my must purchase list

notice something?

You bought the Creature Creator? Seems like it since you have more eye assets than the trial one.

I still have my reserve for EA.

Yeah i'm not a big fan of EA myself....but this one is a bit different...the team is more independant and capable from the rest of the EA crew. Besides Will has been given how many delays now...that itself makes it different from other EA titles(read NFS). The Spore teams got its priorities right...My theory is with all this delays...i think Will had to agree to what EA are doing with the Creature Creator now(charging people).

To me....as long as Will Wright is in the business of making unique games...I'll be happy...we need games that break genre classification every now and then...its good for PC gaming too.

I hope that EA does not impose some ridiculous write protection like u have to enable the game online and can only install once and after that you have to pay to play.
Typical of EA.

how much do you think Spore will release for here in Malaysia?

any future bulk order? been waiting for the game since will wright announce it...

EA is just publishing the game while Maxis is developing the game...so I guess there won't be the trademark taint of EA developed games.

And for those dirty minded fools who are thinking of making their creature look like private parts...well...EA just wants to say "f*ck you"

WHY !!!!!!!!!! DO THEY DO TIS IN SPORE !

failed attempt on doing Bobo Tyranid.

Ok, fans of Ghost in the Shell should recognize this, lol.

hell yeah
no wheels
no hood
but np xD

I went to sporepedia, there's like 4-5 variants, 1-3 which look really like in the anime and pwn mine hands down, either I still lack some skills/control or they have 100% of the assets to do some of the parts which I can't seem to get.

Actually Maxis has already been absorbed into EA....It is just EA now...BUT...because Will Wright is still in this team...its still pretty much retained a lot of the Maxis team. EA also gives more leeway to Will because his games sell a lot The team has more freedom to exercise their own creativity/independance. Thats why they are different from say Westwood Studios(which is EA now)

i doubt that. It just unlocked version (75+% parts available) Just google around if you interested

Someone has make creatures from Half-life into Spore. Awesome!

http://www.wegame.com/watch/Half_Life_crea..._made_in_Spore/

PS:Need the crowbar NOW!!!!

Anyone got their copy yet?\
Its written for only RM39.00 in TSB and pcgame website
Is that the full version ?

The game is slated for release on Sept 4 this year...That is only the creature creator...not Spore the game.

oO
