My first Spore creatures and some comments!
Cubilone \| 12:08 PM on 06.20.2008	5 comments

This is inspired by the Mulefa from the His Dark Materials books.

Couldn't resist...

Would be a great predator, if he didn't have just one eye!

My game-illiterate girlfriend made this. Nice eh?

Will this thing ever be able to fly?

How cuuuute!

I am very excited about this game. I am. But the creature creator wasn't perfect. There are some things that bother me. For instance:

1. Symmetry is required. You cannot just place a body part at a random place. If you want just one to appear, it has to be at the extreme ends of the creature.

2. There are some graphics collision issues concerning the creatures with the strangest morphology.

3. I have my vicious Barracuda-faced creature whistle and click like a dolphin! While it's clever to have the voice of the creature depending on its head, it should be possible to choose. I mean come on, people will sooner laugh their heads off than crap their pants when they hear my T-Rex's seal roar!

4. As far as I know, spine manipulation is 2-D.

5. Can creatures with wings actually fly?

6. You can't put anything on the ends of arms or legs apart from mouths and hands/feet. Why?

Well that's it for now... Even with these qualms, I think that the creature creator is very fun! Everybody out there get it, or at least the demo!

You can put anything you want on the ends of arms and legs. Just delete the foot or hand, and put whatever you want at the end. You can also hit ALT at a joint and copy it, and make your own concoctions of joints and stuff. CTRL will paste it to another limb.

Once you get that part, your options open up 10 fold.

You forgot #7 on your list:

Spore DRM will only let you install it three times to your machine. You better hope you don't get a corrupted file or a bad patch.

Cubilone

Well that has nothing to do with the creature creator... Or do you actually mean it? And thanks Rockvillian! :)

Dagerr

Yeah, I'm just venting about the game itself. I'm sad =(

I can't bring myself to buy the creature creator knowing that I won't be buying the final game. Even if it were just a dollar, I can't support bad business.

about me

Gamer, cyberculturist, general computer person, rid with wanderlust, a naturalist, idealist, looking to read more books, learn more about the world and play more good games!

Favorite console: N64, with SNES coming a close second.
Owner of: a good gaming PC (freshly home-made!), Wii, DS (which has a broken R button!!), Xbox 360 (premium, got it for just 120 euros! Rumours say it was an expo piece, but I still haven't found anything worth showcasing on it) and a PS2.
Looks for in games: innovation in music, graphics and gameplay mechanics (which often make a game as close to art as currently possible), character, how high they rank on the how-many-bodily-needs-can-I-neglect-so-I-can-keep-playing meter and how self-aware the game actually is. Few storylines impress me so I'm more of a gameplay-above-all person, but I haven't really played many story-driven games.
Favourite franchises and games: Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Tetris, Civilization, SimCity, Donkey Kong Country, Hexic, Banjo-Kazooie, Europa Universalis, Star Fox, Pokemon, Katamari Damacy, Portal, E4, Geometry Wars, Final Fantasy, Golden Sun, (from the top of my head).

Other general information: Half greek and half australian, very soon to be 19 years old, studying Cultural Technology in Lesbos, Greece (grew up in Athens), I take life seriously the fun way... or is it, taking life lightly the serious way? Eh, you get the picture!
