[:plant:] Spore some sugar on me

I want to know more information before I commit myself into buying Spore, but from the stuff I heard about so far, it looks like it's going to be a hit. Besides, it's from Will Wright. I love the SimCity and Sims series.

What is best thing about Spore? I think it's the fact that you can visit other worlds and see creatures that other people made. It's like a multiplayer game but in singleplayer.

How ya doing, buddy?

Echolyn, your text is near-nigh impossible to read. >_>

I've seen the extra long video, and it looks pretty spiffy. However, I'm having second thoughts about getting it now, since there is an RTS element at one point in the game. I for one totally SUCK in RTS games, and I'm afraid it'd be too frustating for me to continue playing it when I get it. Even simple RTSs are too tough for me : /

I guess I'll just stick to Sims and SimCity.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The following is a cut and paste from my journal:

Get the demo here.

This is the demo with 25% content. Here's my first created creature. I call it Crocostimpy. It's a crocodile with a weird tail.



You can upload vids straight to Youtube:

Update: I just noticed you can make animated GIFs too:



I don't have the tools to make Gaomon yet. I'll wait for the full editor.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

You're welcome. I'm gonna try to make something really bizarre now. Even with 25% content, it still gives enough to make some crazy stuff. The editor's really easy to use. It shouldn't be that to make a Gaomon now.

Update:

Here's my second creature, called the Trirex:





I'd put it in my sig if it wasn't over the max filesize.

Ah thanks. It's cool that people like what I'm creating. I dub my third one the Streamer. It's a sea-based creature even though it takes place on land. I had to adjust the body shape a bit 'cause when it moved, the back part was sticking up like a mountain.



I'm hoping some other GFFers would start showing off their creations.

Haha those are pretty cool, especially the one on the bottom. Here's Insecto. It's an upright ant which can shoot out venom from its abdomen.



Oh, and my Spore Profile is viewable.

Additional Spam:
Ah must bring you an update. As of now, Sporepedia has been taken offline until the 17th, the official due date. That means you cannot submit your creations online, although you can still use it offline and save it until the 17th.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Haha great creatures you guys, especially the Chocobo ^___^
I made two more critters, Slith:



and Scyther:



I need more parts to make a better Scyther, haha.

FELIPE NO

Of course I am.

Some people don't want it since it comes free in the actual game, but after playing with the demo version I couldn't possibly wait until September. It's that awesome. Even with the 25% content in the demo, people have already made over 10,000 creatures. Imagine how many you can make with 100% content.

I can't wait to make Spore Spheals, canines, dragons and ferrets. I dare someone to make Silverbolt (Beast Wars).

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I tried importing a creature today and followed the instructions but it doesn't seem to be working. I saved the image to my desktop and then I clicked and dragged it onto the Spore icon. The game loads but the imported creature doesn't show up.

By the way, I checked the official website some more and came across a way cool feature. You can add your friends to a buddy list and their creations will take higher priority when the game needs to DL creatures/buildings/etc into your world. Sweet!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Are you supposed to load the game and THEN drag the image over? I don't see a way of starting it in a window or whatever. I didn't get any error messages when I dragged image over to the Spore icon. The creature just doesn't appear in the game.

How ya doing, buddy?

Wow, thanks for the help! Man, importing creatures is pretty troublesome. Why can't you just drop the PNGs in a folder or something?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Aw man, slayer25k, your creatures are pretty darn cute, especially the last one. I'd like to see that in my game please. Send the PNG :3 I'll be sure to add you to my buddy list when the games come out.

Shenlon, check out my last Journal entry for a video of a nasty monster.

I made King Ghidorah today, and his poses are so slick! He is the only critter I made that topped the complexity scale.

Spoiler:

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

By the way, I got the Spore CC today!!! If you guys haven't gotten it already, get it at Wal-Mart. I got mine for $8.77, less than regular price :3

I'm showcasing the very first critter I created with the full editor. It's a werewolf of course. How do you like it?



Most amazing jew boots

The last time I talked about werewolves was on Jan 5th, 2008, and I can't even remember when was the last time I talked about ferrets. That message in Welcome Welcome doesn't count as I pretty much never even go to that section, so your theory's wrong :P

I was going to make a shark critter (i love sharks), but the shape looked more werewolf-ish so that's what the end result was.
