This Forum is dead again, follow this link to post ideas for Spore

you should be able to choose what the babies look like (that is if your ito that hole metamorphasis idea) have the baby go through a krysalys stage.

PEOPLE. PLZ ABANDON THIS POST. IT HAS PRACTICALLY DIED. MOACH HAS NOT REPLIED TO ANYTHING SO ITS EASIEST ENOUGH TO ASSUME THAT HE HAS ABANDONED THIS THREAD. DO THE SAME. ITS DIED OFF. START POSTING IN NEW THREADS ALREADY!!!

SPORE WILL BE BETTER IF YOU WILL JUST BRING THE OLD SPORE INSTED IF THESE ONE

I have always liked this better. Never enjoyed the "OMG POST 1 SENTENCE TO GET IT IN A PATCH" thread.

i like the idea for number 10 (the firsty one not riding pets)

[u]13 geological eras
* geological era changes on creature and tribal stages could be implemented by using the terrascore functions... there could be periods of long droughts or ice ages... hey, that meteor could start a long winter period... this would definately "break the ice" a bit, hehe... such events would have repercussions such as decreasing the number of fruit plants around, requiring your creature to change it´s diet or your tribe having to move somewhere else to survive...

14 living ecossistems
* in creature, tribal and civ phases, alterations made to the environment, such as extincting a species, should have the same impact on the planet as we see on the space phase, allowing full ecossystem collapse if one chooses to cause such phenomenon (this feature could be selected upon game start, so casual players don have to worry about their actions causing mass extinction)

15 throw and bash
* when i first noticed there were grabbable items in creature phase, i thought i would be able to use them as rudimentary weapons... but i couldn´t... upon upgrading your brain (as mentioned above) to a certain level, i should get an increase in "strike" ability when holding a stick and be able to hurt creatures by throwing rocks at them

space again, why can´t i settle on a star which already has a colony by someone else??? i should be able to settle on that colony´s PLANET if i wanted

would like to have an "game play editor" allowing me to choose the exact game play condition of a specific save: density of nest, density of fruit trees, carnivore/herbivore ratio, rarity of new parts, spice well density, will the game be more "diplomatic" or more "military"? How many dna point do you need to end creature, how many tribes to "conquer" before the end of tribe phase?

I think we should be able to have more space ships helping us with the space ship we control becouse when another empire attacks your planet they have like 15-20 ships on their side.


These are all good idea's guy s but do you think ea will listen to them- they didn't for a lot of the sims 2 games - you could easily make 3-4 expansion packs out of this!

Whole heartedly support.

most of these suggestions seem to be simply finishing off the material which was cut at the last second to enable a faster release.

I think that the restoration of these functions should be a priority as well as something which should have been released with the game.

These features should not be set aside for an expansion as they are content which was advertised on trailers and in promotions.

WOW this stuff sounds awesome especially the underwater stage. Maxis could release an expansion called spore aquatic adventures or something enableing underwater growing and new parts! I would also love the paintbrush tool for creatures and clothes!

This thread is AWESOME. Great ideas.

Someone needs to run spellcheck through the OP.

what is really needed in spore is maybe a water stage but what is really needed is flora editor to buy a bigger pack and FLeet!

i agree with all those nice ideas but i still have a small own one. i mean a Rly small one^^.
u should be able to move the tools u buy in space stage in the boxes around cuz they stay all the time in the same place after u bought em. i think this is REALLY easy to code so i woud wonder if maxis woudnt do that.
im talkin bout the icons of the weapons and tools of youre spaceship. i know its a small wish but also easy to script.

its jsut i dont like the current configuration of the icons because for me there is the cold storm (with the minus symbole) at the very left of the box and then comes the hot, then comes something hot again, then cold again... it have to look similiar too cuz u will look at them very often and i think its those little things and details wich makes games fun even if it dont seems to be importand.

great post! full support here. I am one of you who fell in love with the original vision of spore and has been very disappointed.
I think all of these suggestions are great. and I REALLY hope they'll see the light of day...

what ID like most, is for this game to at least a BIT more realistic. this game was originally promoted as being semi-educational, based on evolution. the end product could hardly be any further from that.

the environment has no effect on your creature\game, evolution is driven by the need of a species to survive, not to perform better at dancing and singing competitions, or to make a species extinct.
how does your 4-eyed, 4-armed monkey differ from any other creature you build? it doesn't, aside from having more eyes and arms. it doesn't effect your performance at all.
i guess customizing weird aliens is fun, but that couldve been another game entirely, as has been said... I want the decisions I make to have CONSEQUENCES! New physical features should be priced based on how much of a change it is from your current state, this is how it works in real life; it takes more energy to grow bigger & stronger; going from a monkey mouth, to a beak should cost more than going from monkey mouth, to pointy fangs, or beak to duckbill, right?

being able to interact more with the environment is also important, because this is what animals do after all. and yet, you cant burrow, climb a tree, build a nest, go underwater, etc you're forced to walk on land, where most creatures are curiously, walking upright.
I will the be 1000th person on here to reiterate that removing the water stage was a huge step back.
and how about birds (better flying, feathers options), insects, mammals (fur\hair)?
but if fur is an option, it will necessitate a reason (a cool climate. for example), and then it just gets more complicated. (which I think is a good thing.)
it would be nice if every creature didn't perform the exact same animations, didn't all make the same noises, etc.
like, ugh, its so not right. this should NOT be what were getting in 2009, after 5 years. something like this could have been put out years ago, and maybe THEN it would've been good.

I dont know, there are so many things I want to change i hardly know where to start\stop. I just had to chip in because its such a loss having this great vision killed.

there are sooo many changes that would have to be made in order for this to be a great game, perhaps pleading with EA\Maxis is the wrong method, perhaps we just need another company to put out a (much) better game based on what we want... but that's probably equally unrealistic.
almost as unrealistic as spore...

Suggestion: What about buying to add to the complexity meter? I have plenty enough DNA points, but my complexity meter is full, annoying!

Anyway
I agree with EVERYTHING, I was quite dissapointed when I couldn't make amphibious/aquatic creatures.

I think it would be more appropriate if creatures that arn't adapted to swimming would tire and drown, that way aquatic creatures wouldn't require a totally different stage therefore making an amphibious lifestyle impossible.

It would be great if you had an air meter which you could buy to add to, as well as a gill option.
