PiranhapaThe full version of the Spor Creature Creator is available today. I haven’t really been keeping up with Spore to well; it was first revealed way back in 2005, and for whatever reason it never fully caught my attention.
It’ll be launching this September now, and EA has just released the Spore Creature Creator today. Looking at it now, the idea behind Spore it pretty impressive: you take a single-celled organism and guide it through it’s evolution from protein microbe to creature. Then, your creature can multiply and form tribes, which eventually progress into a fully-fledged civilization. Then, your civilication can explore an entire galaxy filled with four billion plantes populated by creatures created by other players.
That’s awesome.
PyrohawkHaving brought myself up to date on Spore, I had to get the Creature Creator. It’s basically a sandbox tool for creating Spore creatures; I assume it’ll be included in the full version of the game, but it’s available now for $9.99, which isn’t bad if you’re not totally sure about this hole Spore thing. There’s even a free trial of the Creature Creator if you’re extremely cheap, which includes about 25% of the total pieces you can use to build your creatures.
So instead of looking for a job like I should be doing, I’ve been playing with the Creature Creator most of today. It’s a lot of fun; there are just enough different pieces to keep things interesting without overwhelming you with options. And you can come up with some outlandish things. The Piranhapa pictured above is one of my more interesting constructions, but even it only scratches the surface as far as outlandishness goes. It’s downright tame I dare say.
If you’re completely lost about this whole Spore thing, check Wikipedia and download the trial version of the Creature Creator. You owe it to yourself.
