Spore Creatures Now Outnumber Known Earth Species
GBC writes "AFP is reporting that, as of a week ago, the number of creatures in the "Spore" database exceeded the number of known species on Earth. They are created using 'Creature Creator,' which is available in a free (with limited parts) or paid download at the Spore website. Will Wright seems extremely happy with the progress so far: 'We hit 100K in 22 hours and a million by the end of the first week. The numbers are just blowing us away.'"
Very few, especially as EA moderates those sorts of creatures now. They ask you to not upload such creatures and if you continue, your banned. Sure you can a new account and the bans aren't perminent, but the vast majority of creatures don't need moderation anyways. There are so many wonderful creatures, its a shame the penis creatures made so much noise. I've contributed ~130 creatures myself.
Demented But Determined.
It's over-budget, behind schedule, and from what I've seen so far, totally kicks ass!
That's the way it should be. It's why Blizzard is one of the only group out there that makes a good product - Damn the release date! A better game is better for everyone in the long run. Really, that line should read:
They're putting every resource they have into making this the best, taking every day necessary to make it even more awesome, and from what I've seen so far, totally kicks ass!"
*insert joke about how DNF must be, ipso facto, the greatest game ever made*
I live in constant fear of the Coming of the Red Spiders.
I wonder if anyone has duplicated another user's creature without knowing about it....
