The EU version is still due out today. Waiting for the download link to go live for the full version. The official trial version has now been released.

Also, has anybody else noticed that these thumbnail images of the creatures also contain the creature data? if you drop them in your creature folder they get added to your game. Pretty clever.

We noticed, Capnbubs.

No need to be an ass about it, if you look one post above you CapnBubs also says that... Hmmm... I wonder why you didn't quote him?

I didn't read through most of the earlier posts, I thought you all were playing the released version or something. Plus I didn't get an E-Mail about the delay. Can't wait for this thing, sounds like good fun.

A couple of my favourite new creations

Ah, ok. Are you in the U.S.? I literally got the email about the delay a few hours after ordering it.

I'm in the US, can't you tell by my accent?

And yes I made the pre-order pretty close to midnight and was looking for the download link as per the instructions. I thought they were lying to me, I was about to make a poster filled with hateful things and tape it to the front door of the EA building (which I could have because their HQ is a whopping ten minutes from my house).

Too bad I gotta wait another day for this, maybe I'll mess around with the trial then.

Not really. I couldn't even tell that Trouserdemon or Capnbubs were British until I looked at their location.

I Dl'd the trial.
I just need to make a creature coming here soon.

That's twice I've hooked you on obvious sarcasm man, too funny.

Anywho, wasn't spore being worked on for like 5 years by a smaller group of people? It honestly just hit me that EA was taking credit for this release.

Are are my first ones.





They are not very cool I know. I'm just getting the hang of it.

Edit: I made some more... not that anyone cares.

It was being made by Maxis.
The sims guys.

They're about as notorious for milking cash-cow franchises as EA is.

Spore is being created by Will Wright, the original creator of the Sim series of games (SimCity, the Sims). They probably hold the record for the most expansion/booster packs released for a franchise.

I know when I worked in a game store we had a new 'The Sims' product in about once a month.

when my creatures look at me, they have that glint in their eye that says "please, kill me".

I was wrong about this game-pack. I was playing the trial, and now I want the full version really bad. In fact, I may be getting it tomorrow along with pre-ordering Spore.

I would show some of my work, but I don't have any pictures right now.

Here's my first, I kept with my decision to keep it low profile. And I believe it's quite different from most of the other creations.

Too bad I can't make herbivores yet.
