MTV Multiplayer writes: "It hasn't taken long for "Spore" users to start cranking out content. Much of it has been interesting, a few disturbing, and some were taken down (hint: phallic creatures).
But that's partly what Dan Moskowitz, a software engineer at EA Maxis and lead programmer on the "Spore" creature editor (we featured some of his creations yesterday), anticipated when their tool was let loose on the public.
"The editor is so flexible, it's almost like putting a kind of paintbrush in people's hands," he told me over e-mail. "I expect we'll see some jaw-dropping works of art, some hilariously funny, some edgy, maybe even controversial creatures."
He even expects some folks to spend up to 20 hours on a single creation."
Bored at work? Why not make a creature with a penis-shaped head? EA has released a new web-based version of their Spore Creature Creator.
Eurogamer writes: "SHODAN may have been scary, but she's got nothing on Lucy. The fun-size pocket robot orangutan may now be consigned to Cyberlife Research vault, but the artificial intelligence comprising her virtual brain - which her creators hoped would see her through real-life kindergarten - is of a level of sophistication that makes Looking Glass' amalgam of clever scripting, voice-acting, and cut-scenes look utterly prehistoric. And while she certainly wasn't blessed with SHODAN's looks, either - in all honesty, she looks like a cross between Estelle Getty and Chucky the Lakeshore Strangler - there's little doubt Lucy's probably the better dinner party guest."
GameSpot writes: "EA and Maxis' Spore generated a good deal of buzz from the moment it was announced at the 2005 Game Developers Conference. On the commercial-gaming side, the game represented the latest effort from celebrity game designer Will Wright, one that was backed by the substantial resources of publishing powerhouse Electronic Arts."
... I bet there is 100 videos of walking Penis men created with the spore CE on youtube now
but that isnt really "Unexpected'
guess what !
I love this game already.
This game looks weird but seems to be a lot of fun to play around with. Just wondering though: what can you do with your custom creature after creation?
