Spore Creature Creator

So the Spore Creature Creator is out and I've been fiddling around with it for a while now. It's pretty interesting and I made this giant bug thingy, I call it Dino-bug due to my utter lack of imagination when it comes to naming things. Anyways I think people on here could have some real fun with it. Download it and then show us what you make.

I bought the full version. It's marvellous.

You get the price off the full game when it comes out.

There's wings in the trial version. Same as the one you saw in the Combine Gunship. Look under the decorative tab, bottom of the list. Wings grant glide and jump capability. The more wings, the higher the jump and glide. Flight is currently unknown.

Also, WASD and Spacebar work as creature controls in test drive mode.

I did it, but unfortunately, I didn't save it on my computer.

So, here it is... for everyone who has the Spore trial... I want you to do this: create man. Show your work. :)

It's not really visible from this angle, but he's got a third eyestalk that faces rearward. I chose this view to show off his dancing skills.

Was I the only one who read the ToS?

It basically says that anything you make is EA's property, to do whatever they want with. It further goes on to say that if it breaks your computer, fuck you.
And the real kicker...EA reserves the right to gather information from your computer.

Good ol' EA.
The_pantless_hero
20-06-2008, 01:58
Anything you create is obviously EA's. Besides the fact that it is their creation tool, you are uploading it to their service. Not alot let's you retain the rights to your stuff like that. Standard.
Not EA's fault if software breaks your computer. Standard.

Reserve the right to collect data - impossible to say without knowing what they are collecting. This is a completely online game where you share creations with their big Spore web and it watches your Spore-verse to see what to populate it with, etc.

Flight is out, however, with wings you get better hang time in the air. Also, hovering for legless (not armless) creatures might be in. It is still debatable. Oh and please NO MORE penis creatures or creatures with a penis, and NO other genitals, creatures with genitals, or other obsceneties. You will get BANNED

That looks like a Beholder and Barney the dinosaur's love child. The mechanics of that pairing I leave as an exercise for the reader.

You know, that's actually pretty impressive. Quite a few members of this forum have been more than capable when it comes to creating weird critters, but you actually succeeded in replicating biotechnological versions of mecha designs! What are you, an alien engineer specialized in designing Zentraedi warships?

Not hard at all. I present:

WEBMASTER
Her red eyes are from staring at the screen all day. The wide butt, from sitting for years. Fig(?) leaves are the only cover she could come up with, being stuck out in the wilderness, but normally all NSFW areas are efficiently covered due to sitting behind a desk. The big mouth might have been useful in a more primitive time, but now, most of its uses are accomplished with the hands and a keyboard.

http://scalesetc.com/spore-webmaster.jpg

TROLLUS NETIUS
Also known as the Common Internet Troll. It always talks out of its ass, or dribbles verbal diarrhea from its head. Or is it both? Millions of years of evolution has left nothing to chance: Its butthole has migrated to its head, while the head features are on its butt. While its head actually retains a cranium, there is no matter within, only a brainstem at the base. Its sickly pale skin was, according to scientists, not originally genetic. But years of basement-dwelling has allowed Trollus to completely lose the ability to adapt to UV exposure. The liberal scattering of zits is due to its diet and environment. Long, unkempt hair exacerbates its skin problems.
