I just got Spore and decided to try out some stuff in it. If you have Spore feel free to show your stuff too, I hope this doesnt get classified as spam :/.

Here is my evolutionary thingy. On accident I went carnivore and just went on from there.


And my totally awesome and strange creatures.


Basically you go from a RPG type game play style, to a RTS where you have to control your whole group and try to become the dominant life form.

So anyone else out there get this game yet, if so what are your thoughts

Also just to be totally awesome, heres my enterprise.

I reached Civilisation-phase when the game crashed. I hadn't saved in a while, so I had to start from Creature-phase all over again Crying or Very sad

At least my creations were saved, but I can't load them for an existing game. Oh well, I liked the Tribe-phase best so far anyway. The many editors are cool Razz

I remember an old review, placed on youtube on 2006.

It showed an 3D underwater stage and the guy playing said you could build cities underwater. Is this both gone?

Is Spore really what it looked like in the first place?

i never would have believed i would ever say this but: I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU PORTALFAN77!


i never rely on autosave. when playing portal (or any other game that allows you to easily save/load/etc) i hit the quick save button (often f5 for me, cuz thats where i move it) constantly. especially in games that stack more than one autosave (ie: hl2,portal,etc)

To this day, HL and HL2 having "Take a Screenshot" (F5) and "Quick Save" (F6) next to each other on the keyboard is endlessly annoying.

Doubly so because F5 is Quick Save in the Max Payne games.

I've started a new game with herbivore insects, staying in the green all time (being friendly), and I actually reached space phase now. I make sure I save regulary, so I won't lose my game in a crash again. I have noticed that the first four phases of the game don't go very deep, which is kinda disturbing and a fail. Nevertheless, they're all much fun, and by the time you grow bored of one phase, you can already almost advance to the next one. The space phase is by far the most complex, adds the depth the game actually needed earlier and twists the entire gameplay (again), though I hate the pig-like guys who keep asking me for money in exchange for not starting an interstellar war. I love the space ship creator, have already created a bunch of ships, and all the other creators.

I might post some screenshots later.

My shit is an omnivore and it resembles a scorpion.

The thing that made me sad was that I tried to turn my tanks, airplanes and boats into a scorpion shape and then put all the guns on the end of the tail, because that's how my species was before I went tribal. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work. Not enough freedom, unfortunately. Closest I got was... Well I'll take screenshots of everything later.

which is why my hl2 games have F5 as Quick save, and F8 as quick load. and F12 as screenshot (quake1 default) everything is far enough and because of the F1-F4, F5-F8, F9-F12 seperated layout they are easy to find, and rarely (if ever) accidently hit on the wrong one

oh yeah. back on topic: Crap On Spore.
