Topic: Spore creature creating EXTRAVEGANZA

the game is in super early beta or alpha or whatever, and this demo doesnt even have 1/4 of the options the full game will have, yet it is super awesome already with how many different critters you make.

Check out my first creature I made:

Re: Spore creature creating EXTRAVEGANZA

There have been some interesting Half-Life and Pokemon creations floating around.

Re: Spore creature creating EXTRAVEGANZA

Oh, and apparently the full version (4x the content) goes on sale tomorrow for $10.

Re: Spore creature creating EXTRAVEGANZA

Although it would be fun I am not sure what the point of paying for the creature creater minus the game is.....

Does it maybe come with a coupon for $10 off Spore when it goes retail?

Re: Spore creature creating EXTRAVEGANZA

No, its just the demo of the creature editor. Not to be confused with the creature editor itself. This is the demo of the demo.

I have been playing with this demo demo for a few days, and it is awesome beyond recognition. I am the only one in my surroundings who is as enthousiastic as I am, so I guess that I am in the minority in my love for procedural animations, textures, models and incredibly flexible customization.

Please, as an expert (or so they claim) in my field, believe me when I say that this thing is amazing. If there would be some tool or hack that would let me extract the model and the animations form this tool, it would save me days and weeks of effort in creating assets for a game. Even if I just use it for rapid prototyping for fantasy creatures, it works amazing. Just with the limited toolset, the flexibility freaks me out...
I pray that EA will convert this into a tool for commercial character/animation creation, it would be glorious.

If you dont see the point of this thing, dont bother buying it. Just like I wont be buying the whole game, which will just be B&W all over again.

Disclaimer: I am reasonably drunk while writing this. I just wanted to share that.

Re: Spore creature creating EXTRAVEGANZA

Its not that I don't see the point of buying it at all, just that if I buy the retail game I will have basically bought the same $10 software again  =/

My thoughts exactly. Though I will hold nothing back in screwing around with the free version!

Also, I think we should all post our most awesome creations in this thread.

EDIT: Here's mine:

Re: Spore creature creating EXTRAVEGANZA

Spore apparently has a peculiar way of saving creatures. If you put this .png file in your Documents\My Spore Creatures\Creatures, you can load it in the editor and play around with it yourself.

I made a balloon animal. :3

Thought for the day:

I fear no evil, I fear no death, for the Emperor comes for me.

Re: Spore creature creating EXTRAVEGANZA

Well, that's a very cute balloonimal indeed smile

I don't think I'm very good at it, and the colouring options were slightly disappointing, but otherwise this is definitely very fun and distracted me from my homework for about an hour.

Re: Spore creature creating EXTRAVEGANZA

this is what i came up with so far, not going to pay $10 for the full version creature creator or i'd probably have made an herbivore, but it was fun putting this guy together and i for sure can't wait for the game to actually come out!

In the full game I was wanting to advance a set of intelligent pack-predators like wolves or raptors or something

Do NOT. NOT search Penis. Or anything like it.

Had this dropped on me by a guy I know:

I fear for the world, not only that, the game. Can't wait for some 6 year old playing the game to be running along and get jumped by good old [Edit: Percy].

Either way EA said they will filter out the bad ones..
