ah thanks.

so once ur universe is populated, along with ur planet... these creatures start mating with one another correct... sooo you get ofspring with some random creature sometimes... producing a totaly random creature...

That sounds fun.

[MasonDon]

No. When you mate, you can customize your creature how you want, provided you have enough DNA (spores cash). Then you go to tribal phase, which is basically a cavemen era with huts and spears and they go hunting, mating, producing more offspring that you can customize.You can also customize all units, buildings and plants. Then its the civilization phase, which is a bit like Civ 4 in real time. Then its the space phase, which you get a space ship and can do whatever the fuck you want.

Can anyone who has the full creator creator tell me if you can make flying creatures? My girlfriend loves bats and managed to make one with the demo, but wanted to know if you can make creatures with wings and such.

[MasonDon]

I believe WW said there are no flying creatures, but wings allow creatures to glide for periods of time.

[Stranger491]

MasonDon you are right. Wings in the game allow your creature to glide for a period of time. The more wings you apply the higher the creature goes, but we may just have to wait and see if they add flying in the new version.

[Kolath]

So, I get that you make your creature in the creature phase and then evolve to have tribes.  But what if your creature has no hands?  Are you stuck in creature phase until you evolve something with opposable thumbs?

[MasonDon]

Not that i know of. All i know is there will be specific objectives, like grow your population to 300, setup a tribal village, or etc. i dont think there will be anything regarding creature parts though.

[Haroquen]

I think through the game, up until the City Phase (Im including the tribal builder into the up until area), that the game will focus (with varying degrees) on the creature builder. The the game will shift from focusing on creature building to sociological expansion and finally will focus on space faring and finally, circling back to the begining.

[Kolath]

Although I was just looking at the screenshots on the spore website and apparently you get to use the creature creator interface to make vehicles during the civ phase: http://www.spore.com/static/war/images/screens/spscreen_05_big.jpg

[DasGuntLord01]

Yes.  When you reach the tribal phase you can design the tribal campsite (including the buildings) and buy them weapons or musical instruments, or tools, and all three, and probably several things besides.

Some of the footage I've seen hints at a pretty decent RTS system, beginning with the tribal phase (where trade or combat gains you resources).  In the civilisation phase, you need to construct your cities.  Buildings have different functions, and placing them in certain configurations leads to more output and happiness in the population.

At least, that's what It's looked like from small clips in some of the demonstrations.

man this game is going to be so badass!

[Unkn0wn]

What's the release date?

[Smithy17]

Somewhere about september the 7th

[UnLimiTeD]

1. Arcade game
2.RPG
3.RTS
4.Civilazition
5.Space Round based Strategy (I may not compare it to Master of Orion)

All modes are simple, and it was confirmed that you can play through all Phases in less than 10 hours.
Compary that to the 20+ hours on a game of Alpha Centauri or Space Empires.
The game is very casual, very simple, don't ewxpect too much of it, it's more like Sims extended.
Some Creature creations actually look and act so cute I instantly deleted them again before it gets me.
I wait till theres a complexity mod for the game, and I'm sure it will come at some time.
Including body types, weight, realistic colour scemes for the enviroment, and varying levels of intelligence and strengh based on body shape;
A compley Civilisation phase and even more so the Space game.

I just don't like Casual games, they boom, it's money, but it's not mine.

[Draygon]

just wish there was a multiplayer type of gameplay where it would allow you to go to war with other civs.

[Thtb]

The Universe in Spore will be filled with other races that you can fuck around with.

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

but no other human players controlling them.

[Draygon]

yep I dont want AI, I want human brains controlling things.  That is why I have NEVER been into any game that doesnt allow me to interact with other humans.  I dont like beating on a machine that has set rules and does this or that when I do something (cause and effect).  I like playing people, and knowing that I am either better or worse at the game than they are.
