*de-lurks*

For those of you who don't know, Spore Creature Creator (the creature building part of the game) should be out 17th (16th for europeans). There will be a free demo verision with 25% of the content, and a full version, 100% creature parts, costs 10$. Actually, the demo can already be grabbed (seems it leaked) - do a search on your regular torrent site or get it from here: http://www.megaupload.com/pl/?d=xim81wur . There are already thousands of creations on sporepedia ( http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=all ). So far ive seen 21 penises, 8 pikachus and countless t-rexes.

*vanishes again*

I just tried it, and I like the capture avatar command.

Do the Aidan Slide my creation!

Wait, if I buy Spore will I have I still have to pay $10 for the full creature creator? If so, that might be a deal breaker for me.

You can apparently claim back the price on the creator when you buy the full game.

Edit

aren't they cute?

These things make me want to puke.

I don't know how you guys can play with them.

Yeah, really, who would want to play with a creature creator? That's totally worthless. What next, building your own spaceships? Oh, wait... yeah, I guess this community is about perfect for liking Spore, at least in core concept

Anarki · Post by **Anarki** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 9:19 pm

But they are so god damn cute yet ugly at the same time... ugh.

Giles · Post by **Giles** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 11:36 pm

But they're adorable!

Hey, you people have actually bitten! Sweet!

@ AidanAdv:
Is there something specific you did to get the avatar animation to be so smooth? Its always lagging for me, tried on two very good PCs.

@ Giles:
Id really like to get that in my hands. Wonder how it walks.

@ Lizzie:
Haha, yellow-red-black color scheme. Nice. Imperium Van Lied's new mounts?

@ Anarki:
You havent seen them dancing around

Seriously though, quite a few people i know have the same feelings (minus the cute part) about BSF ships. Actually, very few like the style.

Same with Spore. Its cartoony, like that piece of shit WoW, make no mistake about that. Thats Spore's established style, and not everyone has to like it. I abhored it myself at first, but it gradually grew on me. Plus its much easier to make a good looking (in its own style) cartoony creature than a decent realistic or dark/grungy one.

Do you guys know theres and extremely easy way to share your creations with others? Those creatures are saved as small PNG's, and the data is embeded inside those files. You can find them in My Documents\My Spore Creations\Creatures or something like that. When youve downloaded one to HDD, all you have to do to open them is to drop them inside the creature creator. Now, gimme, i want them!

Also, if you find that your creatures have dissapeared for some reason, don't worry, theyre still there, its just some display bug. Close down spore, go to My Documents\My Spore Creations\Creatures, move your creatures .png out of the folder. Run CC again, drop the png inside CC. Voila, although it won't be listed under 'my creations' category in the browser.

Time to share:

Save these and drop them into creature creator:

Nope, nothing special. Just hit the button.
