Ok, I've Got a lot of questions to ask, so get comfy.

1. The Cell stage seems awfully dull. How do you plan to improve it? Will it evolve allowing other cells from other games, or just making the setting longer and more interactive?

2. The underwater stage of the game was cut out of the final game, and was therefore a large let down. Are you planning on adding the stage as a expansion pack and if so how soon.

3. In the creature stage, why is it that you don't allow creatures to graze on grass, or eat fish?

4. In the creature stage, why cant the creature i control make his own nest instead of have to report back to the home nest? It would be a lot more fun to be able to simply make a nest with a mate on your own.

5. Are you planning on making any more gameplay additions to the tribal stage? Such as grow crops, milk Dom. animals, or additional tools?

6. Are you planning on making a city stage were players can simply build there city by adding more buildings, domesticating animals, or simply decorating their city?

7. Will the city limits ever grow to be as large as they were in the 1st Spore Demo?

8. Will there be more than just 3 categories of buildings and vehicles?

9. In the space stage, will the size of the ship you pilot ever be larger than a space fighter?

10. While in space, will you ever be able to visit a gas giant?

11. Will we ever be able to beam down to any planet rather than just Adventure planets?

12. Flora Editor?

13. Advanced Cell parts added in patch?

And 13. Other than the creature keeper, Spore Hero, and spore hero arena, what should spore fans be expecting for the next expansion pack? Also what would YOU like to see in spore?

... pant .... pant .... pant ... wow you guys have a lot of work to do! ^_^

Good Question.

As for throwing objects, can you make them so they can have their own unique style? Like a blaster for instance. Can you make it so it shoots things?

normal games have those issues occasionally, GA suffers rather severely from it most likely because objects, terrain, everything really is user made. they couldn't test all the possible part combinations of objects and object sizes to check if the boundaries were drawn appropriately and they certainly can't test every level to make sure you haven't positioned things in such a way that some captains (of varying shapes and sizes) would get stuck between them. They might be able to improve the situation somewhat but I would be enormously surprised if they ever really eliminated the issue.

Basically Galactic adventures is a nightmare to playtest because there are too many things you would need to consider.

2 Questions.

I was once thinking about something I could place with my friends... or something we could both play. I thought that the Spore Team should make multiplayer gaming. Either online or on two computers in the same house. I have 3 computers...

And I think you should add maybe a item editor or gameplay items. Ok maybe not the gameplay items... Would take too much time to learn the scripting. Make it so we have to earn a certain achievement to unlock creators or more items for GA.


Thankyou.

Okays. I have a few questions:

-Could you describe a typical day in your job?

-Some of the cells in the cell stage have parts that look real similar to already existing parts. Was there an original intention to allow for more manipulation of the cell parts at one point?

-I haven't been able to find many fur or feather like paints for creatures, except for one, but it seems very limiting to me. Were more such paints considered at one point or just not thought of?

-What was your inspirtation for the Clark and Stanely adventures and alot of the Maxis creations in Spore?

-How do you feel about hundreds if not thousands of Clark and Stanely look alikes out there?

Thanks for answering a few of our questions.

Please check out my creations. I will attempt to comment back at some point or another. Real life and all. If I haven't returned the comment please remind me.

Totally helped invent Space Ponies. Your arguement is invalid.

PS : Sanity is just a boundary.

So why did you choose to put a complexity meter on the creators, and how did you decide the limit for complexity?

Three questions:

1. I would like to level up my captain so that I can get the missle flinger, but I made him in the create mode because I don't like how my Space creatures look. I found a couple of Maxis missions in the Space game, but I can't find any more. It used to be fine for me to use my captain in quickplay and level up from my own missions, but now it will take me way too long. I need to find more Maxis missions in my Space game. How can I do that? I've looked all over the Galaxy and still nothing.
2. Why did you make it so that you can't put vehicles near buildings or walk on vehicles?
3. What was your favorite mission that you made?

I'm seeing a lot of questions about glitches in GA and the aquatic stage on this interview

you guys should ask about their life and jobs as maxoids, and not cry over spilled milk.

He's right, like how does it feel knowing you made the awesome, huge Clark and Stanley fad And how hard is it being a worker for maxis?
