The Official Spore Thread


Recommended Posts

It's not how I choose to use it but if they get enjoyment out of it what's the harm?

Because the creatures (if shared) will be appearing in peoples copies of Spore and there appears to be no moderation of the creatures that are shared. Mum sees little girl playing with the penis monster and then the whole game gets it in the neck. Next thing you know, Jack Thompson will be raging on about it, giving gaming as a whole a bad name again. :no:

Why do people find the need to drag everything down to a lower level anyway? It's pathetic. Can't enjoy anything any more without someone making it something it isn't. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind games like GTA, but whenever there is a game that is designed to be "innocent" someone has to take it down into the gutter again. :(

First, you can choose what creatures you want in your galaxy, so if you find any creatures you hate, you can just choose different ones.

Second, Jack Thompson is getting disbarred soon so he can't say anything without consulting another lawyer first, and I don't think anyone will come to his aid.

It is unfortunate that even when (not if, when) he gets disbarred, he will still toot his own annoying horn and B&M just as much as he does now. The only way to fix the issue is to strap his sorry butt on the next outgoing rocket to space LOL. :devil: He won't let his lack of legal power/standing affect his holy crusade. Now I'm sad.

The way I understood it, the game will pick them at random unless specifically told otherwise. The kid isn't going to care or know what it is though - the parents will though and will make a big fuss of it.

Even if Jack Thompson was to disappear off the face of the earth, there would be others like him to take his place. I wish people wouldn't give nut jobs like Thompson the ammo they need to make their point about games being the root of all evil. :/

how did you get that new world? ive got the paid version and i aint found that

It's in the scenery section where you take pictures.

I really like this guy... love the way he walks.

Feel free to visit his spore page and thumb him up. :D

Two questions...

1) Is it only Mac Users that get a trial version of the Creature Creator? Or does everyone have to pay $10 to get the full thing? Because if Windows users get the full version free, I am finally going to get motivated and install Windows on my mac,

2) If I pay the $10, does that go towards the purchase of the game itself? And/or if I wait for the full game, does it come with the Creature Creator as well?

Just played around with the trial version and all I can say is amazing stuff. Very cool indeed, so I am just plotting out my next plan of attack.

Neither users get the Creature Creator for free.

If you buy the Creature Creator at certain stores, you'll get 10 bucks toward Spore, but I can't remember which stores.

You can use your creatures you've created in the creature creator in your version of Spore, however, you can't have both installed at the same time (according to the Creature Creator's instructions).. however, Spore will have it's own version of the creature creator that is a whole lot more extensive.. it'll allow you to create creatures according to what phase of the game you're in.

I bought the creature creator because I know there are like 78 days until Spore the actual game comes out, and I actually really enjoy creating the creatures, plus seeing what people have to say about my creations.

I bought the creature creator because I know there are like 48 days until Spore the actual game comes out, and I actually really enjoy creating the creatures, plus seeing what people have to say about my creations.

Thanks for the detailed answer. (Y)

I am going to see if I can find out what stores put the $10 towards the game.

If not, I may just hold off for the retail version. I still have Metal Gear to finish. Just thought this would help pass some time at work at lunch though too. :shiftyninja: I very well may end up getting it. LOL

And oh yeah, kick ass creatures you have to. I like the smaller ones myself too.

Presenting..

The Orangelosaur!

Named for its distinctive orange markings.

No problem. I try to pride myself on how much I know about Spore. :)

I'd advise picking up the creature creator.. the Spore website tracks what you own, and I think EA may give rewards for those who own all the Spore related things, including the slated add-ons they're planning on.

Well it turns out I did not read the fine print, and the full version of the Creature Creator is not yet available for Mac OS X. So I am going to have to make do with the trial version for now.

Love the 2 horns intertwined Andrew, looks really cool.

Thanks. :) . I thought about adding fins to the back down his spine, but it was just too much.

I think his mating call is perfect for the way he looks... it sounds like he drank way too much Dr. Pepper.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
