Spore creature creator

Warp:

Today i downloaded and played with creature creator (look at time) well actual that was yesterday anyway if you go to http://www.spore.com/ you can download for free spore creature creator where the possibilities are endless expect for very limited amount of part you can use in the trial. But even with few parts you are given there is a huge amount of customizability and you can let you imagination run wild i would highly recommend trying it out i have contemplated buying the full edition but have decided to hold off until the game comes out.

I thought it would be fun to just show you guys what me and blaze have create with some comment on designs:

This was my first creation using spore and i had great deal of fun making it. I tried to push the genetic complexity meter to full, which is bar telling you when you've added to much stuff to your creature though i think i could have pushed it abit further i called this one Spitnort because it has tail which spit green stuff. Its a pretty basic design but i was just messing with features.








This one here is one of my favourites Grubber which was the result of wanting to create a biped with a sort of water theme hence the colouring and weed hair and fins and a younger version is also in the picture.









Blaze:

Yeah now for my (Blaze) exploits on Spore Creature Creator. But before here are my impressions of the creature creator. It is amazing fun, i only got the trial version and have considered paying for it. It is very innovative and something we frankly have never seen before to this extent. You owe it to yourself as a gamer to play this, at least the trial. But it will also appeal to none gamers just due to it being extremely simplistic to use but it can get very complicated and complex. I myself wasn't hugely excited for Spore before hand because it could have easily failed due to it being so complex on a game mechanic level but from this i am very confident it will be an excellent game and one that i will remember as one of the most innovative games. But still we have yet to see how the rest of the game will play out.

So here are 2 of my favourite creations:


This one is called Bleppin, i have no idea why i called it that but i did. I thought can the face be at the back and can it walk forwards. And yes it can which is cool. However you cannot have two sets of legs facing opposite directions. Which makes a lot of sense.






This one is named Hormiculas and it was my first creation. Pretty standard dinosaur thing and had some fun with the colours.


But yeah this is just a sample of what you can make and it has a awesome test drive system whereby you can move your creature, make them do different emotes (including dancing) and even view what the children will look like. And you can take photos such as these and even record video and upload it directly to Youtube from the game. So check it out.

Thanks for reading
