Davision3D

The Creature Creator will be released on June 17th, a demo of it is allready released:

So, lets see some of your work then. If you go to your:
\My Documents\My Spore Creations\Creatures directory and upload the PNG file, other people can simply drop said PNG into their own Creatures directory to check it out. The creature data is entirely encoded into each image.


Some creature vids:

Looks very addictive to me:)

Orange Cucumber wins, hands down.

Japhir

the third from the bottom is awesome.
i love the idea, they are a bit weird but cool nonetheless. I wonder how it'll work though.

Ferg

someone please write a program like this for spaceships. Also guns.

'Tis all.

~350 creatures so far. mostly from the Maxis developers.

i think Spore's editor works the same way for buildings and vehicles when you get to those phases.

I can hardly wait. Maybe I'm getting old, but I'm becoming more interested in games that allow you to create rather than destroy.

"Tip

How do you see one of these Creatures in your Spore Creature Creator? Right Click on the thumbnail image of the creature. Save the image to your desktop. Drag the saved image from your desktop into the Spore Creature Creator. Voila! The Creature is in your game. "

NEAT! I gues .png's can have snippets of non-image tags embedded in them, which the character generator can then recreate the creature from. Neat way to share creatures!

Swizzle

Ha, the walking Cheeto is awesome.

Justin Meisse

I predict I'll be home sick on the 17th

Tumerboy

Walking cheeto. . . pffftt!
It's clearly a dancing hot dog. . .

Tulkamir

Very cool stuff. I can't wait for the game. Though for some reason the creature editor really doesn't interest me. I like seeing other people's stuff, but have no ambition to use it myself.

The full game I can't wait for though.

Wells

there's going to be soooo many walking penises in my world.

so many.

Murdoc

Why was that the first thing I thought of too, Sectaur?

Or how many dongs can a creature have? infinite possibilities!

Let's hope they never discover the planet vagina 6

doc rob

hahahaha

Slipstream

You just found that out too just right now.

Can't wait, this looks like a pretty decent game, thanks for posting.

acc

Yeah, it works and is legit.
It's pretty fun already, even without the actual game, and very easy to use.

Like everything else they've done on this game, though, way to jump the gun guys! Now everyone can get bored with it over the next 3 months.

Davision3D

Awesome!
Updated first post

Asherr

my video card won't run the demo. i hate you all.

MoP

Quite awesomely cool.

I've done a couple, but this is the only one thats really worth looking at. Not exactly exciting given you can create more or less any beastie you can imagine (with a few annoying limitations) but I think he's kinda neat nonetheless.

Davision3D

Thats a good idea Jackablade, i just copied your instruction in the first post. Btw funny human like creature, i like the placement of the leaf!

Here are my creatures:

I just love them all

Kraftwerk

Something fast i whiped up very amusing:

Neox

haha funny can't wait to get some sort of arena xD

gauss

yeah, i had supressed thinking about this game for a year or more, and i'm glad i did. the editor is out and it's as wonderful as it should be, watching the creatures come to life makes me laugh every time

Neo_God

Very entertaining. My more successful ones thus far.

Cerbamite (I'm pretty sure it's a fish, because if it's a land animal, then it can levitate)

Frilled Plop

Galopus

Slum

I call him GORGIBON!

snemmy

A couple I am working on. My video card is just barely up to the task, so I haven't seen them in all their smooth and shiny glory yet. I cannot wait until my new Mac comes in on Wednesday. Along with purchasing the full editor I will be very very happy.

D4V1DC

This was fun and I really like everyones creations, still so many possibilities since we only got about 25% of the accessories to work with.

I appologize if the images are too big in advance.

Swizzle

The page linked from Kotaku is dead. Anybody have a mirror?

Davision3D

Cool creatures guys! I love how simple is it to just drag them from the browser window in my creatures folder.

Here is the official mirror:
http://eastore.ea.com/store/ea/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/ThemeID.1252400&productID=101447000

Some more from me:

bounchfx

The official mirror does nothing for me. I download it and try to run it and it just gives me some weird DOS error.

any other links to an actual download?

D4V1DC

Here guys:

Hope it stays up.

I'd hit it.

PNG file format is cool. Makes me wonder why it took so long for internet explorer to support it properly. It's kinda like TIFF for the web!

LoTekK

neato... lots more fun than I expected it to be. Neogod, that fish thing is badass. Per, fucking lol. I'd hit it... with this:

oh my god.. science has gone too far!

Japhir

this is so much more fun than i expected
here's a simple one:


texturing takes ages though, because it keeps loading all of the layers over again even if you only change one layer . (and my pc is slow)

Davision3D

thx $!nz
Yery cool creature LoTekK! Per that ugly thing needs bigger boobs! :P

Justin Meisse

Is the leaked version the demo or the full creature creator? The demo supposedly has a limited selection of parts while the full has everything.

Crap, just read they pushed creature creator to a Wednesday release

neolith

Per wins!

Pseudo

Can anyone get the official download to work on the EA site? It downloads a super small file that doesn't do anything when I run it.

MikeF

this one wins.

MikeF OMG, I couldn't stop laughing that was great, thanks.

I agree we need the full version to really get some designs going, hope the gents at spore aren't sour about this leaked trial?!

Swizzle

I am loving this thing.
