They may have changed it, but when I played Spore it was a series of steadily more grindy and repetitive games with a theme of being able to modify the appearance of your character. And that the other characters were imported from all the most immature minds on the internet. A brief summary of the games follows: A multi-stage worm game with some genuinely interesting character customisation options(You can change your 2-dimensional figure). An easily gamed and very repetitive respawn-based exploration game(You can change your three-dimensional figure). An easily gamed and very simple R.T.S.(You can change your outfit). A repetitive Risk/R.T.S. hybrid which basically relies upon mobbing your enemy, there might of been some super-powers that you could use after you had pretty much won the game already(you can customise your vehicles and buildings, and possibly get some new outfits). An insanely repetitive, gameable(Invisibility is pretty much an "I win" button, and it is near impossible to kill do anything without it...), very very grindy, and simple space combat game with a few simple randomly-generated missions that you don't have time to do(You can customise your ship at the start, and customise your planets. Ecosystems too, I guess, but that is all slow and fiddly and the endless grinding...).

As true as that may be I still find it to be fun if you try to be creative about it. I only really dislike the creature stage because it takes so bloody long but i can see where you're coming from.

You got a microphone of any sort?

Maybe.
Not sure how to use it.

Dick-monster, obviously.

No!
No Sporn.

Agreed.


So...Screenshots, wing it, no ideas for POV, and Planet Slendermints. I can do this.


I'll start this afternoon, but until then we need to figure out cell stage. For instance, is it worth breaking up into multiple updates, and what should I try to do/make for the first one?

Is there any fathomable way to have no mouth? Tentacles are obviously cliche, but for good reason...

[sjm9876]

A tail ending in a proboscis was fun. For a bite attack i then used some handless arms ending in the mandible type mouths, looking like pincers. It gave the effect at least.

Mouths are required. No legs! Legs are for the weak!

Not neccesarily. We'd starve to death forever and always but mouth's arn't needed in spore if I recall correctly.

@Wyrm: What's the creature's name? I like the name Cupcake [you know why...] so we should name it a Slendermint Cupcake

[MonkeyHead]

I demand tentacles. ALL of the tentacles. None shall be spared from the wrath of the tentacle.

I demand no Tentacles unless we fashion the creature in the image of Tentacool who then evolves into Tentacruel during the tribal stage.

I also demand that this creature have no legs. It may have ludicrous amounts of tentacles, but not a single leg must be found. All hail our legless overlords!

If we were fine with being an herbivore with the very most basic mouth, we could keep that filter-feeding mouth from Cell Stage. That's about it.

Barring some cheat/exploit, Spore does not let you save creatures without mouths. And I'd rather not keep starving to death, that seems like it would be annoying.

@Wyrm: What's the creature's name? I like the name Cupcake [you know why...] so we should name it a Slendermint Cupcake

I was planning a different name for each creature.
...Cupcake...Cupcake...I know this one...was that from the other Spore LP?

You can have tendrils, you can have handless arms, but AFAIK there are no per-se tentacles in Spore.

Works for me. I don't remember if my achievements from the other computer were saved.


So...Cell Stage. More accurately, Microbe Stage, since you start pretty complex for a "cell" and only grow bigger from there. What shall we do?

Cupcake was the name of the Tyrannosaurus I captured in one of your games. Since I played spore earlier than your game though it specifically though it comes from my love of the meme "Painis Cupcake" So I named my first little demon spawn in spore "Cupcake" on the planet Painis Prime.

Specifically we should be all the niceness to everyone.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Oh, yeah! That was a fun game except when I was doing the turns. Then it was kinda dull.

[Neonivek]

I know you should friend me Neonivek so my creatures show up in your Letsplay. CLEARLY that is the most important part because I am shallow and want to show them off

Heh. Could be interesting.
Guess what my username is.
