Spore Ingame Footage

Sky · June 2005

I'd prefer a "who can design the most lifelike skulk/gorge/lerk/fade/onos" competition.

Imagine it. A race of intelligent gorges, happily nuking the crap outta less advanced civilizations. SOLD. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

Gwahir · June 2005

well, I don't think it would be hard to make a fade... a skulk with its spike legs might be difficult. gorgey might have difficulty attacking things. Onoes is probably doable. But a lerk... can we make flying creatures? I saw some things that flew in this picture:

There on the left side. So maybe it can be done...

edit: how about we make a walking alien res tower?

I think that box might be the last place you've visited (I thought it was the homeplanet at first, but it seemed like after he blew up the planet, that was the sun highlighted). There's probably a shortcut to return to your home planet (possibly on that pop up menu with a bunch of buttons).

It probably would not be to hard to make an entire town of alien structures, seeing how simple, yet largely diverse the building creator is.

Im so getting this game.

Gwahir · June 2005

If some planet doesn't like my UFO coming down, I'm going to settle there anyway and wage a brutal war on the ground and in the air. Maybe make friends with other cities and see if I can get them to gang up on the one that attacked me.

Then, once that city is destroyed, you stab the other cities in the back and nuke the whole planet, right?

RIGHT?!

Gwahir · June 2005

after I've evacuated my own people, maybe.

Align · June 2005

and if they REALLY dont like you, you just create a volcano at their town center! Oh man this game is going to be so awesome

UltimaGecko · June 2005

...maybe you can be like those aliens in Abyss (except less forgiving) and just drown the whole planet - especially if you're a sentient water creature <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> .

Rellix · June 2005

I think id end up trying to design a species that could dominate the planet.... unfortunalty this would mean no neighbours.

NeonSpyder · June 2005

which brings up the question can you go through the whole evolution system underwater? notice how in the demonstration the creature "evolved" to walk on land. well, why can't the creature just evolve better and better underwater mmh? no one ever mentioned <i>evolving</i> and underwater civilization, though i would imagine you could do force-evo an underwater civilization if you wanted to.

and also now that i think about it, a walking alien res tower would look <b><i>SUPER AWESOME</i></b>

Quantum_Moose · June 2005

Looking at the evolution thingy you get the choice to add things like arms or legs or all that good walking stuff, so more then likely... Ill say theres a 120% chance you can remain underwater.

*Points out that fish in the group shot.*

Gwahir · June 2005

I am having trouble even thinking of waiting over a year for this...

I hope they give us a teaser... like one of the editors, just to play around with.

yeah, I bet he decided to go to land to facilitate the switch to space and show the city etc. He said we could make underwater cities with those bubbles over them, maybe they'll let us make cities on the sea floor. He also noted we can make underwater vehicles. It's all there, I don't see how we could not make them, though we would be restricted a bit in our colonies... perhaps we can make space colonies with bubbles over them that are filled with water.

Actually he did indeed. Underwater civilizations behave as a land based one would in water, and vice versa. So you have big water filled domes for cities.

Gwahir · June 2005

it would be interesting to see the automatic 3d component when raiding and trading with each other at the tribe level.

edit: Spears from above! ATTACK!

edit2: and now that I think about it, since they have that 3d movement ability... who says the doors on the buildings need to be at ground level?

Nil_IQ · June 2005

Ok, i've made up my mind, i'm definately making a race of sentient cubes.

If I can make them carnivores, so much the better, it'd be fun to see them run.

give them thousands of very very tiny legs underneath, so they appear to <i>hover without flapping</i> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' />

Diablus · June 2005

woah...

though I dont understand the whole concept of the Player vs Player and Player vs Comp

Like he said when you encounter another planet of aliens you download what that player created and a computer takes over? Or are you actually enountering another players life personally? because if that happens, I dont want to be starting off my race and then some UFO comes by a incinerates my planet in which I just started to create <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />

NeonSpyder · June 2005

no no Diablus, it's never player vs player, you just download (automatically) other player's creations (their creatures) and the computer decides where to put them and how they should act, just like it would calculate how your creatures act when you set them on "auto". so everything another player makes will populate your universe, and everything you make will populate his

x1,000,000 people.

Scythe · June 2005

I want to make a big sphere, covered in hundreds of tiny legs. I wonder if the game would be smart enough to make it roll around.

--Scythe--

Gwahir · June 2005

there was a worm like thing in that picture. Perhaps you wouldn't need the legs.

BadKarma · June 2005

Maybe some Protoss lookin thing, that'd be cool too.

Gwahir · June 2005

while the protoss were cool, you know that everyone will do something like that...

Truth. I'm gonna go for the realism though, and I hope really silly things like that wobbly bird are not able to survive.

Gwahir · June 2005

a race of teacups anyone?
