Spore
« on: June 22, 2008, 06:08:05 PM »
I've been excited about this game since I first heard bout it. Anyone else trying out the creature creator?

Here's what I've made with the trial version thus far.

My scorpion-like creature:


A unicorn (I was wanting to give it an ant-eater snout):


Generic Dinosaur:


Hydra/The Beast from Revelations having 7 heads and 10 horns:


Weird thing with lots of eyes and limbs:


A dragonfly/flamingo hybrid:


A multi-jointed ape like thing:

I'm sorry, but the number you have dialed is imaginary. Please rotate the phone by 90 degrees and try again.

Sweet! I've only made one so far and no pics of it yet. I'm planning on getting the full version as soon as I can find it.

I'll post pics later.

Just bought the creator yesterday.  Only had time to build one creature so far (gif link below).  Hoping to create more today.  Sad it doesn't run on my Macbook, oh well always screen sharing i guess.

So you actually buy the creature creator, and then buy the game so you can use the creature creator you just bought?
And I though buying a game and then paying to play it was bad.

Kids these days are such suckers.

Cherubim is plural; Genesis 3:24 specifies one flaming sword. Presumably flaming swords were in short supply."

Nawh, you can use the free version (w/ 1/4 of the content) of the CC up until the game releases. The CC is only $10 though and it's a tonne of funne for kids especially. My daughter (11) spends hours with it.

The full game will include the full CC in it, but so far as I know you don't get any discount or anything if you're bought both.
