The friend I went to the exhibit with noted that he was surprised at how non photo-realistic the images were and how he'd expected there to be more movement toward that in game design. It doesn't really bother me, seeing as I like my worlds extremely flexible. I think it looks fun and elastic.

But Sept 5? Really? More two years in the waiting? Is that typical?

It's Will Wright giving birth.

It'll take as long as it needs to really.

Aye. It's a major pet-project from a big thinker/developer in the genre.

I was thinking about creating a race of (cartoonish, stylised) hoomans for this game and playing through from cell to stellar. Now I'm thinking about giant apes. Giant intelligent apes.

Or lobstermen.

I stopped playing video games about two years ago, but I am actually excited by this.

A friend sent me a video and it looks like so much fun.

According to the Wikipedia article -

The Spore Creature Creator utility will be available in two different versions on June 17, 2008[38] for PC and Mac. There will be a paid version (for $9.95) and a free demo that will be downloadable from Spore.com and included for free in The SimCity Box.

one point, oh

It all appeals greatly on that I-want-to-simulate-being-god level that games seem to chime so well with, but it's also a Will Wright/Maxis game; from what I've read I'm already concerned that a year down the line I am going to be expected to pay £20 for expansion pack XIV 'Tribal Drug Abuse TM'.

I'm not sure why I'm quite so wary. I figure it's because I once lost a week to the Sims and and ended up feeling somehow dirty and violated afterwards.

To be honest I'd rather wait and get a finished game than get a game which has suffered in its need to meet a deadline.

I suppose if all is well it will be worth the wait. It's the first time in quite a while that I've been actively interested in playing a game, period, so I hope I can maintain interest until then.

So, four days to go before we get our moist tentacles on the Creature Creator demo.

Has anyone told Natural Way about this? Some of the preview creatures I've seen look like they dropped, pulsating and blinking, straight out of the Frankverse (one of the topics he covered in detail o'er on the Mindless Ones blog).

I'm very, very excited.

You can download the creature designer demo here.

It's mighty fun.

Someone's already done a mudkip, apparently.

Some of the mudkips are absolutely spot on and some are pure nightmare diesel. Same with Spore Pikachus and Spore Dogs I've seen on youtube that have crawled up and out from Alien 4's cloning lab...

Someone's even gone and made a Deep Crow from Penny Arcade which looks WICKED.

In the middle of installing the baby now. I'm wondering if I can develop a species of Tyrant Suns, but we'll see. Maybe Creepy Plastic People instead.
