Spore
Moderator:Æron
I don't know if they have an extendable tain option (or even what that is), but I seem to recall from some interview that you can trick the game into making some creatures the engine isn't designed to cope with. For example, the engine isn't actually designed to be able to do segmented bodies, but there's a way of manipulating things so you have a creature that has a segmented body without having a segmented body. Or something.

Here's a game that resembles the first stages of Spore. You can't do much, just swim and eat, and try not to get eaten though.
And I've just realised, if they knew, someone could simulate the evolution of humans right from the first sea creatures, amphibians, reptiles, and so forth based on current knowledge.

Oh absolutely, but where's the fun in that?Here's a game that resembles the first stages of Spore. You can't do much, just swim and eat, and try not to get eaten though.

You think so? I think it would be great fun, but then I have an interest in matters paleontological and archeological. I'd be tempted to enact the evolutionary process as closely as possible.Oh absolutely, but where's the fun in that?Here's a game that resembles the first stages of Spore.

Of course experimentation isn't bad, in fact, it's great, looking at some of the examples given in the video I can only fathom just what the limit might be in the game.

Well, apparantly you can make octopii. And have things that can fly (though cities are always on the ground). Etcetera, etcetera...You think so?

I mean, where's the fun in it if your end product is as dull as we are, not that the evolutionary process is a boring unfun thing.

What's that quote about the journey itself being the reward? In the context of any game what is left at the games' end? It's the process in between the start and end we buy the game for.I mean, where's the fun in it if your end product is as dull as we are, not that the evolutionary process is a boring unfun thing.
And finally, I certainly do not believe that humans are dull, we have the potential, and have shown it, for some great works. What we do with that potential can be wrong, but that's the price we pay for developing an abnormally large brain.
