They got a lot of brains…

Some of you may have heard of a little game called Spore, a ‘god game’ being developed by the same guy that invented SimCity and The (incredibly persistent) Sims. It’s set to be the next big thing in this genre of video game, in the fact that you can create your very own species from scratch using the comprehensive ‘Creature Creator’, rather than starting with a preset number of races/species as these things ordinarily go. Prior to the release of the full game, the developers released a little trial version of the creature creator for people to fool around with. I downloaded it and had a go and made a bunch of silly little creatures for a bit of fun. Here’s one of my demonic creations below:
After that, Louise came ’round and we had a couple goes at creating some more weird and wonderful creatures (you can see her influence in the colour schemes):
After that, I had to go and have a shower or something, so I left my darling, innocent girlfriend to make a creation all on her own. Let me tell you that there are an infinite number of possibilities for creating things with this program. It’s addictive as hell, using your imagination to create all sorts of wonderful beasties. You can create things from your daydreams, your nightmares, your favourite childhood books, anything. So what do I have waiting for me when I get back?
That’s right folks. A pair of squawking testicles. And for proof of squawkage, have a look at the video:
I’m not sure if I should think my girlfriend is incredibly awesome, or start to get worried. Possibly both.

WHERE THE HELL DO I DOWNLOAD THAT FROM?!
And yes, Lou is awesome.
Probably their website somewhere. It’s about 200mb I think. Very much funness :D
Haha. I’m amused—especially, assuming from your YouTube join date, you got an account just to post that video.
Maybe I’ll give it a DL and take it for a spin.
Heh, yeah. I’ve never been big into the whole youtube thing, but for some reason the embedded video player I have didn’t want to accept that video.
It’s good for a few hours playing around. Especially when you start trying to make creatures from your favourite fantasy books (:
Heard about this but hadn’t tested the creature creator demo. Looking forward to a proper demo…the creatures are cute or whatever, but not being able to do anything with them got old quick.
And there seems to be a sound bug in the demo, but it wasn’t worth tooling with.
You seen those RE 5 trailers yet? Gonna be sweet.
Yeah, I’ve finished with playing around with just the creatures, looking forward to seeing how the finished product pans out.
Would you believe I’ve never played a Resident Evil? Or a Silent Hill? Crazy, but true.
