Spore Creature Creator

[OS]

Yeah, all seven of my Two-Thumbs up! Thank you, Maxis!

 

[BellGoRiiing]

Yeah I'm being told at Best Buy that it isn't out till the 19th...I'll try GameStop and see what they said...

You can just order the Creature Creator online.

 

[OS]

I don't wanna wait,
For a download or delivery.

I lucked out this morning; ~250 MB in under 30 minutes. Christmas Miracle!

I don't think I'll luck out like that again anytime soon. I'm just gonna wait two days, and go buy it at WalMart.

So far I have made about seven little critters (okay, some of them are actually pretty huge). And I just discovered the Help option in the Main Menu. Now I can make really long limbs! Yay!

EDIT:

As I anticipated, the amount of Creatures in the Sporepedia increased exponentially. By how much? Over 47,000. Damn.

EDIT2:

Okay, here are my first creations:

They are kind of hard to look at, but the pictures I took are bad, and the films (2) take too long to upload to YouTube.

and for me I believe the thing would take forever to download on my computer, and besides, GameStop said they should be getting it tomorrow...so, yeah. How big is the download file anyways?

 

[rexxzecutioner]

Around 300 MB.

They even have pedobear and mudkipz. I really need to download this sometime soon.

 

[OS]

Jebus Christ! Teh Pedobear! And Pokemons? OH NOES!!1!

So...uh...I need more parts. I am bored with the parts I have, because they all look pretty close to the same by default, and it's kind of a pain in the ass to combine limbs.

Has anyone overspent their 2000 DNA yet? I have only passed the COMPLEXITY limit, but trying to spend every point is kind of hard so far.

I don't think it's possible with the trial version, lol.  When I DO get the full demo, I can hack it to where I have unlimited DNA, so I could create a bad-ass mother-blankin' creature.

 

[OS]

Haha. Have fun, Chalupa!

Well, I took a nice long nap, and now I am ready to add more creatures to my list. I only have about 13, but I plan to have at least twenty five total before I get the Full Version.

 

[Venetia]

This is so awesome, and I only have the free trial version with like 5 choices for each category.

I wish there were a way to add joints to limbs--of course the full version may very well have that, or atleast limbs with more joints already. Because typically, 4-legged animals have 4 joints, since their metatarsals are really long. So with only 3 joints, you can only make rather odd-looking 4-legged animals.

I tried making some real life animals, but it was surprisingly hard (probably again because I only have the trial).

What's a lot of fun is seeing how they move based on your design. Like I made a horse-looking creature and thought he looked pretty cool, but then when moving, his joints were too stiff so he sort of ambled on peglegs. Then I made a creepy raindrop dinosaur with only two legs and he ran perfectly. I was really impressed with how intuitive it was.

I heard that you can't make fish-type or flying-type creatures, but some skins make a water "splash" when you paint them, and you get parts related to flying and swimming, so I wonder if the next expansion(s) will open up those possibilities. Of course I should just wait until September, when it's released :P

 

[rexxzecutioner]

Venetia you can ctrl click and add a new limb on top of an existing one for more joints.

 

[Chalupa]

My latest spore creation is my Avatar.  I call him the fat green retard on crystal meth.  I made his torso really fat, then extended his neck, and stretched far over the torso, then put the head on.  I put hands on his head, and then I added really long legs in the back, and them some in the front.

...... no way. really?

 

[rexxzecutioner]

No, I lied!


Just try it

 

[OS]

Haha. Here's a pic of my newest creation, Mekalim:

[Chalupa]

This is the first draft of the WereChicken:

He's definatly gonna change, but it's just a draft.  When the full game comes out, this is going to be the thing I create.

I have 4 or 5 views of him, I'll upload em' later.

 

[OS]

Why do you two get Beaks?

Ah, well. I'm going to get my full version in the morning. For real this time.

Can anyone tell me if the Limits change between the Trial and the Full Version? I mean the DNA Points available, and/or the Complexity Meter?

 

[rexxzecutioner]

No, those don't change.
